Data Communication Using the BCS 160
ex
BT
For data communication, the bluetooth variants require a base station, which is available
for both the safe area and also for the hazardous area. If there is an unobstructed line of
sight to the base station, the bluetooth hand scanner can transmit data over a range of up
to 30 m.
The base station in the safe area can transmit the data to a PC through an RS232/RS422
or USB interface. The explosion-protected version requires supply voltage and data
communication through an explosion-protected power pack. The power pack is identical
to that for the wired version of the BCS 160
ex
series.

BT with Non-Ex base station

BT is used in the hazardous area. The non-Ex base station
serves as a radio receiver station and charging station. The non-Ex base station is
connected either directly through the RS232/RS422 or the USB and is supplied with
voltage through its 5 V DC power supply. The non-Ex base station and the connection
cables are not included in delivery.
