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). There are bi-focus
positions for capturing of max. focus-decoding area. The scanner provides exceptional depth of field
on all bar code densities.
The BCSi provides built-in illumination which allows work in any ambient lighting condition — from
total darkness to bright sunlight.
A wide selection of parameters may be configured to adapt the BCSi settings for your particular
application.
The BCSi available as cable and as radio frequency version.
The cable scanner version has an intrinsically safe interface for power and data. The data transmission
is realized via a serial interface. The cable version is available for low-power and high-power
intrinsically safe power interfaces.
The radio frequency version has an intrinsically safe interface for charging of internal batteries in
hazardous areas via intrinsically safe interfaces, such as for instance ExMod-1-2-3. The data
transmission is realized via a radio frequency interface (Bluetooth). The radio frequency version is
available with integrated 10mW and 100mW Bluetooth modules.
The radio frequency version disable the scanengine when charging is in process.
All versions of the BCSi developed for use in hazardous areas Zone 0, Zone 20, EPL Ga and EPL Da.
