    Aimer The EM3396 contains a laser aimer that produces a crosshair aiming pattern to help the user to easily position the target barcode within the engine’s field of view to increase scan efficiency. The aiming pattern...
  • Page 8: Chapter 2 Installation

    Note: The EM3396’s laser diode (circled in the figure below) is ESD sensitive and rated Class 1A Human Body Model (HBM) 270V, thus ESD protection measures, such as the ones mentioned above, must be taken when handling or installing the EM3396 to avoid damage to the laser diode.
  • Page 9: Ambient Environment

    Avoid wrapping the EM3396 with thermal insulation materials such as rubber. Installation Orientation There are two threaded mounting holes in the bottom of the EM3396 for fastening the engine to a mounting surface with machine screws. The following figure illustrates a front view of the EM3396 after...
  • Page 10: Optics

    Optics Window Placement The window should be positioned properly to let the illumination and aiming beams pass through as much as possible and no reflections back into the engine (reflections can degrade the reading performance). The window should be mounted close to the front of the engine (parallel). The maximum distance is measured from the front of the engine housing to the farthest surface of the window.
  • Page 11: Scratch Resistance And Coating

    Scratch Resistance and Coating Scratch on the window can greatly reduce the performance of the EM3396. It is suggested to use abrasion resistant window material or coating. Window Size The window must not block the field of view and should be sized to accommodate the aiming and illumination envelopes shown below.

    However, the user should avoid looking into the beam. The EM3396 uses a laser diode to form a bright, intuitive aiming aid. It is hazardous to stare into the laser beam.

    Mounting (unit: mm) The illustrations below show the mechanical mounting dimensions for the EM3396. The structural design should leave some space between components. Front View Side View...

  • Page 15: Chapter 3 Electrical Specifications

    Chapter 3 Electrical Specifications Power Supply Do not power up the EM3396 until it is properly connected. Be sure the power is cut off before connecting a flexible cable to or disconnecting a flexible cable from the host interface connector. Hot-plugging could damage the engine.

  • Page 17: Timing Sequence

    Timing Sequence The following diagram indicates the typical timing for the Power-up sequence of the engine. Notes: 1. In the diagram above, it takes about 400ms for the engine to power up: A - time needed to choose the boot mode; B - time needed to boot the kernel; C – time needed to initialize decoder chip. 2.
  • Page 18: Chapter 4 Interfaces

    Chapter 4 Interfaces Host Interface Connector The following table lists the pin functions of the 12-pin host interface connector of the EM3396. PIN# Signal Name Function Not connected. 3.3V power supply. Power-supply ground. TTL level 232 receive data. TTL level 232 transmit data.
  • Page 19: Dimensions Of The Host Interface Connector (Unit: Mm)

    Dimensions of the Host Interface Connector (unit: mm) The EM3396 uses a 12-pin FPC ZIF socket (bottom contact, model: 10051922-1210EHLF) manufactured by FCI. The socket can be connected to a host device with a FFC cable.
  • Page 20: Ffc Cable (Unit: Mm)

    FFC Cable (unit: mm) A 12-pin FFC cable can be used to connect the EM3396 to a host device. The cable design must be consistent with the specifications shown below. Use reinforcement material for the connectors on the cable and reduce cable impedance for reliable connection and stable performance.
  • Page 21: Communication Interfaces

    Communication Interfaces The EM3396 can communicate with the host device via its TTL-232 interface. This interface is applicable to most system architectures. For those requiring RS-232, a TTL-232 to RS-232 conversion circuit is needed. The EM3396’s TTL-232 interface supports baud rates from 1200bps to 115200bps; it does not support hardware flow control.
  • Page 22: Control Interface

    (PIN 12) on the host interface connector low for over 10ms causes the EM3396 to start a scan and decode session. If barcode is decoded, the EM3396 waits for the voltage at the nTrig pin to turn high (or the trigger to be released) after sending the data to the Host. If the trigger is released during a scan attempt, the EM3396 immediately stops decoding.
  • Page 23: Beeper

    Beeper The EM3396 provides a pin (Buzz, PIN 9) on the host interface connector that provides a PWM output to an external driver circuit for generating audible feedback to the user to indicate statuses like power up or good read. The PWM output is not strong enough to drive a beeper, thus a beeper driver circuit is needed.
  • Page 24: Good Read Led

    Good Read LED The EM3396 provides a pin (LED, PIN 10) on the host interface connector that can be used by an external driver circuit to drive an LED to indicate a Good Read status. When a good read occurs, the LED pin produces a high level output for about 300ms, and then the signal is back to a low level.
  • Page 25: Chapter 5 Development Tools

    Chapter 5 Development Tools The EVK is provided to help users to test and evaluate the EM3396, which contains beeper & beeper driver circuit, LED & LED driver circuit, trigger & reset button, TTL-232 to RS-232 converter & TTL-232 to USB converter, RS-232 &...
