Mounting the Scanner
ESD Protection
The host enclosure design must provide adequate ESD protection for the
scanner. Ideally, static discharge should not be allowed contact with the
scanner. The preferred method to prevent static discharge is to provide a
long discharge path to all circuits. The scanner is intended to be mounted
inside a host enclosure. Only the front surface should be exposed in order
to read bar codes. This is to protect the rear interface connector area,
which can be susceptible to static discharge. Interface cables should also
not have power applied when inserted into the scanner. Any metal
mounting surfaces for the scanner must be electrically grounded with
proper insulation to the scan engine mounting.
Static discharge (ESD) testing is recommended for the entire system inte-
gration to ensure proper ESD protection.
Proper ESD protection should be used at the time of instal-
lation and servicing of the scanner or the host equipment.
