Mounting the external components
4.4.1
Mounting the AMV/S 60 Connection Module
1.
Mount the AMV/S 60 Connection Module near the CLX.
The distance between the AMV/S 60 and CLX should not exceed max. 10 m.
2.
Mount the AMV/S 60 in such a way that accessed to the open device is always possi-
ble. The terminal interface of the CLX is accessed via the internal "Service" plug.
Detailed information on the mounting and electrical installation procedures is provided in the
Operating Instructions for the
"AMV/S 60 Connection Module"
(order no. 8 008 296).
4.4.2
Mounting the external reading pulse sensor
If the CLX is triggered by an external reading pulse sensor, the sensor must be mounted in
the vicinity of the CLX. The "Sensor" switching input is selected as the default trigger source
for this trigger type. The default debounce time of the input is 30 ms.
Depending on the application, you may need to mount the sensor in such a way that bar
codes on objects of different sizes can be read completely during the reading interval. The
exact position fo the external sensor in relation to the scanner can be seen in
to

1.
Mount the reading pulse sensor.
2.
Connect the reading pulse sensor to the "Sensor" switching input of the CLX via the
AMV/S 60 Connection Module (see
Chapter 5.5.7 Connecting the switching inputs,
3.
Connect the CLX to the AMV/S 60 Connection Module and switch on the power supply
to the module (see
Chapter 5.5.3 Connecting the supply voltage, Page 5-13
After it has started, the CLX confirms that the self-test was successfull and switches to
Reading mode ("Device Ready" LED lights up).
4.
Connect the PC to the terminal interface of CLX via the RS 232 line using the internal
9-pin "Service" plug of the AMV/S 60 (see
Chapter 5.5.6 Connecting the PC,
5.
Start Windows and the "CLV-Setup" program (see

.
The Terminal Emulator is launched. The CLX is in Reading mode (default: SMART/
Standard Decoder).
Monitor the reading result during each of the subsequent steps!
7.
Move objects with bar codes into the CLX reading field manually under realistic condi-
tions and check whether the reading result and trigger pulse are correct.
8.
Repeat the procedure with the conveyor switched on. Check whether the reading
procedure is synchronized with the objects.
