FM515-V Figure 2-7 ESD protection has been taken into account when designing the FM515. However, due to limited board space, additional ESD protection, such as TVS protection, is not provided on the scanner’s I/O interface. It is advised to take corresponding protection measures when integrating the scanner.
Thermal Considerations Electronic components in the FM515 will generate heat during the course of their operation. Operating the FM515 in continuous mode for an extended period may cause temperatures to rise on CPU, CIS, LEDs, DC-DC, etc. Overheating can degrade image quality and affect scanning performance. Given that, the following precautions should be taken into consideration when integrating the FM515.
Chapter 3 Optics Introduction The FM515 contains: a CCD image sensor and its lens • two LEDs based illumination system and two lenses • Sensor Pixel: 2500*1 CCD Frame rate: 780fps Illumination The FM515 has two red LEDs for supplementary lighting, making it possible to scan barcodes even in complete darkness. The illumination can be programmed On or Off.
LED Indicators Table 3-1 LED Indicators Description Blue LED on The device is powered on and enters the standby state. Green LED flashes 200ms It indicates a good read. Red LED flashes 200ms It indicates device malfunction. Window Size The window must not block the field of view and should be sized to accommodate FOV envelopes shown below. FM515-H Figure 3-2...
FM515-V Figure 3-3 Ambient Light The FM515 shows better performance with ambient light. However, high-frequency pulsed light can result in performance degradation. Eye Safety The FM515 has no lasers. It uses LEDs to produce illumination beam. The LEDs are bright, but testing has been done to demonstrate that the scanner is safe for its intended application under normal usage conditions.
Depth of Field The tables below list the depth of view tested in the 0lx and 300lx natural light. Table 3-2 Ambient light: 0lux or 300lux natural light FM515-H 35~190mm FM515-V 25~180mm...
Chapter 4 Electrical Specifications Power Supply Do not power up the FM515 until it is properly connected. Be sure the power is cut off before connecting a cable to or disconnecting a cable from the host interface connector. Hot-plugging could damage the scanner. Unstable power supply or sharp voltage drops or unreasonably short interval between power-ons may lead to unstable performance of the scanner.

Enter Setup Chapter 12 Prefix & Suffix Introduction A 1D barcode could contain digits, letters, symbols, etc. A 2D barcode could contain more data, such as Chinese characters and other multi-byte characters. However, in real applications, they do not and should not have all information we need, such as barcode type, data acquisition time and delimiter, in order to keep the barcodes short and flexible.
Enter Setup Global Settings Enable/Disable All Prefixes/Suffixes Disable All Prefixes/Suffixes: Transmit barcode data with no prefix/suffix. Enable All Prefixes/Suffixes: Allow to append Code ID prefix, AIM ID prefix, custom prefix/suffix and terminating character to the barcode data before the transmission. Disable All Prefixes/Suffixes Enable All Prefixes/Suffixes Prefix Sequence...
Enter Setup Custom Prefix Enable/Disable Custom Prefix If custom prefix is enabled, you are allowed to append to the data a user-defined prefix that cannot exceed 10 characters. For example, if the custom prefix is “AB” and the barcode data is “123”, the Host will receive “AB123”. Disable Custom Prefix Enable Custom Prefix Set Custom Prefix...
Enter Setup AIM ID Prefix AIM (Automatic Identification Manufacturers) ID defines symbology identifier (For the details, see the “AIM ID Table” section in Appendix). If AIM ID prefix is enabled, the scanner will add the symbology identifier before the scanned data after decoding.
Enter Setup Code ID Prefix Code ID can also be used to identify barcode type. Unlike AIM ID, Code ID is user programmable. Code ID can only consist of one or two English letters. Disable Code ID Prefix Enable Code ID Prefix Restore All Default Code IDs For the information of default Code IDs, see the “Code ID Table”...
Enter Setup Modify Code ID See the examples below to learn how to modify a Code ID and restore the default Code IDs of all symbologies. Modify PDF417 Code ID to be “p” (HEX: 0x70): Scan the Enter Setup barcode. Scan the Modify PDF417 Code ID barcode.

Enter Setup Chapter 13 Programming Commands Use of Programming Command Besides the barcode programming method, the scanner can also be configured by serial commands (HEX) sent from the host device. All commands must be entered in uppercase letters. Query Commands For query commands, the entry in the Data field in the syntax above is one of the following characters means: What is the scanner’s current value for the setting(s).
Enter Setup and Data fields must be repeated for each command in sequence. If an additional command is to be applied to the same Tag, then the command is separated with a comma (,) and only the SubTag and Data fields of the additional commands are issued.
Enter Setup Read Barcode On/Off Sending the Read Barcode Off command ~<SOH>0000#SCNENA0;<ETX> to the scanner can disable it from reading barcode, and the scanner is unable to scan barcode unless you send the Read Barcode On command ~<SOH>0000#SCNENA1;<ETX> to it or power cycle it. By default, Read Barcode is On. Turn On Good Read LED You may turn on the external Good Read LED of the scanner for a certain period of time with a command sent from the host.
Enter Setup Chapter 14 Batch Programming Introduction Batch programming enables users to integrate a batch of commands into a single batch barcode. Listed below are batch programming rules: 1. Command format: Command + Parameter Value. 2. Each command is terminated by a semicolon (;). Note that there is no space between a command and its terminator semicolon.
Enter Setup Create a Batch Command A batch command may contain a number of individual commands each of which is terminated by a semicolon (;). For more information, refer to the “Use of Programming Command” section in Chapter 3. Create a Batch Barcode Batch barcodes can be produced in the format of PDF417, QR Code or Data Matrix.
Enter Setup Use Batch Barcode To put a batch barcode into use, scan the following barcodes. (Use the example above.) Enter Setup Enable Batch Barcode Batch Barcode Exit Setup ** Exit Setup...
Save/Cancel Barcodes After reading numeric barcode(s), you need to scan the Save barcode to save the data. If you scan the wrong digit(s), you can either scan the Cancel barcode and then start the configuration all over again, or scan the Delete the Last Digit barcode and then the correct digit, or scan the Delete All Digits barcode and then the digits you want.
