Note: For correct use of the Multicolored DPM Peripheral illuminator, verify that the application working
distance is within the lighting systems working distance. See the following table.
Table 8: Lighting System Working Distances
Reader Model
Lighting System
Working Distance
ABR71x9-RSE2
Red
20 to 550 mm
ABR71xx-MSE2
Multicolored DPM Central LED Group
20 to 250 mm
ABR71xx-MSE2
Multicolored DPM Peripheral LED
Group
20 to 50 mm
Important: The minimum and maximum DPM application distance is limited by both the lighting system
working distance and the reader focus distance.
For example the minimum application distance is limited by the reader minimum focus distance (25 mm
for Liquid Lens Autofocus models). The maximum application distance is limited by the smaller of the
illuminator maximum working distance or the lens maximum focus distance. See also
on page 82.
