INTRODUCTION

This section contains information for proper installation, operation and

maintenance of the Barcode Automation BA-440 DualBeam Barcode

Reader. Each item in this section should be read completely before

proceeding to other sections of this manual. If there are any

questions contact Barcode Automation, inc at 1-800-528-9167 for

assistance.

FCC CLASS A STATEMENT

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with this manual,

may cause interference to radio communications. A class A

computing device, as defined in Part 15, Subpart J of the Federal

Communications Commission rules is designed to provide reasonable

protection against such interference when operated in a commercial

environment. Operation of this equipment in a residence is likely to

cause interference in which case the user, at his own expense, will be

required to take whatever measures necessary to correct the

interference.

CDRH COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

This laser barcode reading system complies with Standard 21CFR,

Subchapter J, for Class II laser products as set forth by the Center for

Devices and Radiological Health. Any alteration or adjustment for

Class II laser products is not authorized, and will void certification of

the system as a Class II laser product. Figure 1 on page 6 shows the

type and location of warning labels affixed to the reader in compliance

of the CDRH standard.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This Barcode Reader incorporates features that provide for maximum

safety. However, it must be recognized that any equipment employing

electrical voltage and emitting direct or scattered radiation may cause

serious damage and/or personal injury if improperly handled. The

following are recommended safeguards that should be observed at all

times.

WARNING

Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other

than those specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous

radiation or electrical voltages.

OPTICAL SAFETY

Never stare directly into laser beam. The laser diode is interlocked

with the motor that turns the polygon mirror so that if the motor slows

or stops for any reason the laser will be automatically turned off.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Disconnect the main power line before working on any electrical

equipment. Always use insulated tools.

REQUIRED MAINTENANCE

The BA-220 DualBeam laser window should be cleaned both inside and outside as needed

with a non-abrasive glass cleaner.

The internal reader optics should be cleaned at 6 month intervals with 100% denatured

alcohol and soft material such as tissue or soft toilet paper. DO NOT USE OPTICAL

CLEANING MATERIAL SOLD FOR CAMERA LENSES.

The internal optic pieces to be cleaned are:

1. Each of the 8 sides on the gold mirror wheel in the upper right corner of the reader should

be cleaned using a wet (100% denatured alcohol) tissue followed by a dry tissue. This

wheel is a metal part that is polished to a reflective surface, so use light pressure to

prevent scratches.

2. Below the gold mirror wheel is a small silver mirror to clean.

3. Below the small silver mirror is a glass lens in a silver block to clean.

REQUIRED MAINTENANCE

The BA-440 window should be cleaned as needed with a non-

abrasive glass cleaner. Optical components inside the reader should

be inspected and cleaned at 6 month intervals. These include:

•

Window glass both inside and

outside

•

8 sided gold mirror wheel

(Polygon)

•

Small mirror below gold wheel

(Polygon)

•

“Fisheye” lens in the silver block

below the small mirror

Optics should be cleaned with 100% denatured alcohol and soft

material such as Kleenex® or cotton balls. DO NOT USE LENS

CLEANING MATERIAL or OPTICAL WIPES. These will scratch the

metal of the gold wheel and degrade reader performance. Cleaning is

best accomplished by following these steps:

1. Remove 6 flanged nuts from bottom of reader.

2. Lift hood/cover straight up off of the reader.

3. Clean inside/outside the window glass on the reader hood/cover.

4. Clean all 8 mirror sides on the gold wheel (polygon).

5. Clean the small mirror directly below the gold wheel (polygon).

6. Clean the lens in the receiver block located below the small mirror.

7. Replace Desi-Paks if necessary.

8. Replace the reader hood cover over the unit.

9. Reinstall and tighten the 6 flanged nuts on the bottom of reader.

Do not adjust or remove any hardware not specified in these

directions. Any change to the optical alignment may result in poor

reader performance. If you have questions contact 800-528-9167.

Basic Installation and Setup steps

1. Determine where the Reader will be installed

2. Run wiring to the mounting point for power & communications

3. Pour concrete pad for post mount

4. Secure mounting post and BA-440 DualBeam to the pad

5. Connect power & communications to the reader

6. Place decals on vehicles (the same side the reader will be on)

7. Turn Power Switch On

8. You're up & running

If the BA-440 DualBeam was not set up for your specific installation at

the Factory you may have to configure the Reader after it is mounted

in place. To do this refer to the Operation and Configuration Manual

for details.

Determine where the BA-440 DualBeam will be installed:

Overhead view of Installation

As shown in this figure, the reader should be located 25 feet before

the gate. This allows about one car length (plus a small gap) for

vehicles to pass the reader. It does not matter which side of the road it

is mounted on, as long as the vehicle decals are on the same side.

Always locate the reader and decals on the same side of the car.
