  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction The barcode scanner BCSi are designed to read all common barcodes 1D & 2D and to transmit these barcode data to an existing ASD (application supporting device) in hazardous or non-hazardous areas. The BCSi is freely positionable in front of the barcode. A interactive vibration feedback after a successful scan is offered by the BCSi (an advantage for loud environments).

    BCSi-1 * models available Various models of BCSi-1 * can be supplied: -1 = C LP : Cable barcode scanner Low Power. Barcode scanner with cable connection and low intrinsically safe input power at the power line. The connection interface to the other existing application supporting devices is realized via serial intrinsically safe interface.
