4.1
Setting up the bar code scanner
The CLV65x bar code scanner consists of a laser scanner (laser diode and lens) with auto-
focus (can be switched off) and an electronic unit with an integrated decoder. The laser
scanner and electronic unit are located in a housing. The light exits and enters via a reading
window in the industrial-type housing. The bar code scanner (depending on the version) is
electrically connected by a cable with a connector or a revolving connector unit with two con-
nections.
For an adaption to on-site space conditions/reading functions two housings are available:
a housing with front reading window and a housing with oscillating mirror. Via the oscillating
mirror, the laser beam exits through the side reading window at an angle of emergence of
105°. This corresponds to the central position (default settings) of the laser beam perpen-
dicular to the scan direction.
