intended use

the Lector620 image-based code readers are intel-

ligent SICK-4Dpro sensors. the Lector620 is used 

for automated, fixed identification and decoding of 

codes on moving or stationary objects. they read all 

commonly used 1D codes (bar codes/stacked codes) 

and 2D codes (matrix codes). The Lector620 uses its 

host interface to send the read data to a higher-level 

computer for further processing.
the Lector620 product family offers several variants: 

Professional, High Speed, DPM Plus, oCr and eCo. 

these include further sub-variants depending on the 

model.

about this document
In this document, the Lector620 is referred to as 

“device” for simplicity's sake.
the purpose of these operating instructions is to allow 

you to commission the device quickly and easily and 

to achieve initial read results. these instructions de-

scribe a stand-alone application for a device based on 

the default settings. the optional CDB620-001 con-

nection module is used as a sample for the industrial-

standard signal distribution of the device.

these operating instructions are applicable for the 

variants according to the type code.

See “Type 

code” on page 7.

supplementary and other relevant documents
More information, such as application examples and 

downloads of associated documents and associated 

software, can be found on the SICK product page on 

the Internet:

Information about configuration can be found in the 

online help function of the SOPAS ET configuration 

software.

For your safety

•  this chapter is dedicated to the safety of commis-

sioning personnel and personnel operating the 

system in which the device is integrated.

•  read these instructions carefully before commis-

sioning the device in order to familiarize yourself 

with the device and its functions. the operating 

instructions must be kept in the immediate vicinity 

of the device where they can be accessed at all 

times.

•  Do not look into the reading window of the device 

in order to dazzling from the bright, integrated light-

ing. 

-

See “Warning! Optical radiation: LED risk 

group 1” on page 1.

•  to comply with the variant-dependent IP 67 / 65 

enclosure rating in operation, the following require-

ments must be met. If this is not done, the device 

does not fulfill any specified IP enclosure rating.

•  the black cover for the microSD card slot and 

USB port must be screwed tight to the device.

•  Devices with swivel connector: the cables 

plugged into the M12 connectors are locked in 

place.

•  electrical connections that are not being used 

must be fitted with protective caps or plugs, 

which must be screwed tight (as they are on 

delivery).

•  only operate the device without the cover for 

the microSD card slot for a short period while 

inserting or removing the memory card. During 

this time, protect the device against moisture 

and dust.

•  opening the screws of the device will invalidate 

any warranty claims against SICK AG. For further 

warranty provisions, see the General terms and 

Conditions of SICK AG, e.g., on the delivery note of 

the device.

•  Data integrity: SICK AG uses standardized data 

interfaces, such as standard IP technology, in its 

products. the emphasis here is on the availability 

of products and their features. SICK AG always 

assumes that the integrity and confidentiality of the 

data and rights affected by the use of these prod-

ucts will be ensured by the customer. In all cases, 

appropriate security measures, such as network 

separation, firewalls, virus protection, and patch 

management, must be taken by the customer on 

the basis of the situation in question.

aiming laser

 cautiOn

Optical radiation: class 1 laser

the accessible radiation of the aiming lasers does 

not pose a danger when viewed directly for up to 100 

seconds. It may pose a danger to the eyes and skin in 

the event of incorrect use.

•  Do not open the housing. opening the housing will 

not switch off the laser. opening the housing may 

increase the level of risk.

•  Current national regulations regarding laser protec-

tion must be observed.

illumination

 cautiOn

Warning! Optical radiation: LeD risk group 1

the LeDs may pose a danger to the eyes and skin in 

the event of incorrect use.

•  Protect the eyes and skin against radiation.

•  Use suitable eye protection.

•  Use protective measures such as a screen to shield 

the radiation.

•  Do not open the housing. opening the housing will 

not switch off the light source. opening the housing 

may increase the level of risk.

•  Comply with the current national regulations 

on photobiological security of lamps and lamp 

systems.

For both types of radiation:

It is not possible to entirely rule out temporary 

disorienting optical effects, particularly in conditions 

of dim lighting. Disorienting optical effects may come 

in the form of dazzle, flash blindness, afterimages, 

photosensitive epilepsy, or impairment of color vision 

for example.

•  cautiOn – if any operating or adjusting devices 

other than those specified here are used or other 

methods are employed, this can lead to dangerous 

exposure to radiation.

•  If the device is operated in conjunction with exter-

nal illumination systems, the risks described here 

may be exceeded. This must be taken into consid-

eration by users on a case-by-case basis. It may be 

advisable to consult the manufacturer.
