BC40XX UV Counterfeit Detection Introduction BC40XX UV Counterfeit Detection The BC40XX Radio Base is available with a UV Counterfeit Money Detector, typically used to verify the authenticity of bank notes. Other uses for counterfeit detection are passport, ticket, credit card, travelers’ check and similar applications where it is possible to detect fluorescent marks with UV light.
To reinstall, charge and/or perform any other action on the battery, follow the instructions in this manual. Before installing the Battery, read “Battery Safety” on this and the following pages. Datalogic rec- ommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum performance.
Page 18
Battery Safety Introduction Always charge the battery at 32° – 104°F (0° - 40°C) temperature range. Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack, chargers, and docks supplied by your Data- logic reseller. The use of any other power supplies can damage the device and void your warranty. CAUTION Do not disassemble or modify the battery.
Datalogic Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. Aladdin is available on the CD- ROM provided with your product, and also from the Datalogic website. Aladdin allows you to program the reader by selecting configuration commands through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a PC.
Setup Unpacking Check carefully to ensure the reader and any accessories ordered are present and undamaged. If any damage occurred during shipment, contact Datalogic Technical Support. Information is shown on page 10 KEEP THE PACKAGING. Should the unit ever require service, it should be returned in its original shipping container.
Setup Installing the Interface Cable Installing the Interface Cable For Corded versions, connect the reader cable by inserting the cable into the handle as shown in . To remove it, insert a paper clip into the release aperture, then unplug the cable. Figure 2 Figure 2.
Page 22
Installing the Interface Cable Setup Keyboard Wedge Connection The Keyboard Wedge cable has a ‘Y’ connection from the reader. Connect the female to the male end from the keyboard and the remaining end at the keyboard port at the terminal/PC. Reference Figure 4 Figure 4.
Setup Configuring the Base Station Figure 6. Other Interface Connections or... or... Specific cables are required for connection to different hosts. The connec- tors illustrated above are examples only. Actual connectors may vary from those illustrated, but the steps to connect the reader remain the same. RF Models The power supply connects directly to the base (not on the cable's jack) for all configurations.
Configuring the Base Station Setup Changing the Base Station Position The base station is configured by installing one of two sets of mechanical parts that come with the cordless kit. The default mounts (shown below) provide three options: vertical (wall) mounting, standing (45°), or horizontal mounting with a higher mechanical retention of the scanner.
Setup Configuring the Base Station 3. The stand can now be repositioned in either horizontal or standing position. Horizontal Standing Connecting the Base Station shows how to connect the Base Station to a terminal, PC or other host device. Turn off Figure 7 the host before connection and consult the manual for that equipment (if necessary) before proceeding.

4. Power up the host. The reader will link to the Base 5. When the host completely powers up, a new custom Security Pin Code may be sent to the reader and Base, depending on host configuration. Contact Datalogic Technical Support for more information.
Setup Configuring the Base Station Linking the Reader to a Base Station RF Devices For RF devices, before configuring the interface it is necessary to link the handheld with the base. To link the handheld and the base, press the trigger to wake it and place it on the base. If the reader was previously linked to another base, you must first scan the Unlink action command before re-linking to the new base.
Gryphon™ 2D System and Network Layouts Setup Linking to a PC in Client Mode (BT Master Mode) The reader can optionally be linked in client mode to a Bluetooth-enabled PC with the serial port profile. To do this, follow these steps: 1.
Page 31
Setup Gryphon™ 2D System and Network Layouts Figure 13. Multiple Reader Layout Wireless models only (not valid for BT model) In stand alone systems, each base station is connected to a single Host. Figure 14. Multiple Stand Alone Layouts Mobile models only (not valid for BT model) Many stand alone connections can operate in the same physical area without interference, provided all readers and base stations in the system have different addresses.
Interface Selection Setup Interface Selection Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed to Table 1 to select the interface type the reader is connected to (for example: RS-232, starting on page 30 Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.). Scan the appropriate bar code in that section to configure your system’s correct interface type.

Setup Customizing Configuration Settings 4. Remove the old battery from its place (if present), and insert the new battery in the same position. 5. Replace the battery holder and three screws, plug in the connector, and return the contacts circuit to its previous location. When inserting the new battery into the handle, take care to position the battery and the connector as shown.
Chapter 3 Configuration Using Bar Codes This and following sections provide programming bar codes to configure your reader by changing the default settings. For details about additional methods of programming, see "Configuration Methods" on page You must first enable your reader to read bar codes in order to use this Setup, starting on page 17 section.

Page 260
RS-232 Parameters NAK Character This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the NAK character. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
Page 261
References ACK NAK Timeout Value This option specifies the amount of time the reader waits for an ACK character from the host following label transmission. The selectable timeout range is 200 milliseconds to 15,000ms (15 seconds) in 200ms increments. A selection of 0 disables the timeout. To set this value: 1.
Page 262
RS-232 Parameters ACK NAK Retry Count This feature specifies the number of times the reader retries a label transmission due to a retry condition. The selectable range is from 1 to 254 retries. A selection of 0 disables the count, and a selection of 255 specifies unlimited retries.
Page 263
References Disable Character Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to disable the reader. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
Page 264
RS-232 Parameters Enable Character Specifies the value of the RS-232 host command used to enable the reader. ASCII characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected. Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host commands conflicts with normal operation of these characters.
References Keyboard Interface Wedge Quiet Interval Specifies the amount of time the reader looks for keyboard activity before it breaks the keyboard connection in order to transmit data to host. The range is from 0 to 990ms in 10ms increments. This feature applies ONLY to the Keyboard Wedge interface.
Keyboard Interface Intercharacter Delay This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character and the beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990 milliseconds in 10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no delay. This feature applies ONLY to the Keyboard Wedge interface.
References Intercode Delay Specifies the delay between labels transmitted to the host for this interface. The selectable range for this feature is from 0 to 99 seconds. Follow these instructions to set this feature: 1. Determine the desired setting. 2. Pad the number with leading zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc 3.
Symbologies Symbologies Set Length Length Control allows you to select either variable length decoding or fixed length decoding for the specified symbology.
