Safety information
2.1
Intended use
The image-based code reader Lector63x is an intelligent SICK-4Dpro sensor.
Device versions:
•
Complete devices
as ready-to-use variants: The complete devices are equipped
with a lens and an integrated illumination unit. The integrated illumination unit is
located inside the optics protection hood.
•
Basic devices
(camera housing) as kit variants: Customers can freely configure
the basic devices for their application. SICK offers a comprehensive range of
optional accessories for this purpose. The complete devices are also based on
these accessories.
NOTE
Complete devices and basic devices with accessories are referred to simply as “device”
in the following sections.
The device is used for automated, stationary identification and decoding of codes on
moving or stationary objects. The device reads all commonly used 1D codes (bar codes,
stacked codes) and 2D codes (matrix codes). The device can be used either as a
stand-alone solution or as part of a group in a CAN network. In read mode, the device
transmits the read results via a host interface to a higher-level computer for further
centralized processing.
The device is designed for use in industrial and logistics areas, and meets the require‐
ments for industrial ruggedness, interfaces and data processing.
NOTICE
Only the VI55I illumination units from SICK intended for integration in this application
can be used as integratable illumination units.
SICK AG assumes no liability for losses or damage arising from the use of the product,
either directly or indirectly. This applies in particular to use of the product that does not
conform to its intended purpose and is not described in this documentation.

2.1.2
Cover on the device
NOTICE
Risk of product damage if cover is open!
In open state, the device does not conform to a specified enclosure rating.
If necessary, only operate the device for a short time with an open cover for the
