Intended use
The CLX is designed to detect and decode bar codes automatically. It is mounted in a read-
ing station and reads bar codes on objects positioned on a conveyor belt, for example. The
CLX transfers the data content of the decoded bar codes via its host interface to a host for
further processing.
As an option, the CLX can be used with other devices, e. g. CLV 490, in an OMNI Portal Sy-
stem.
Any warranty claims vis-à-vis SICK AG will be rendered invalid if the device is used for any
other purpose or if changes are made to the device, also as part of the mounting and
