2Description
BVS HS-PC
Industrial Corded Handheld Barcode Reader
2Description
The Balluff BVS HS-PC-Series hand held readers are a featurerich and
rugged area imager reader. It is offered in several different models to
better fit the different needs of each customer.
The table below shows the unique features of each model:
2.1 General Features
Model P/N Optical feature
BVS HS-PC-
HDW-MA-02 Autofocus optic, High, standard and low density codes, wide angle
BVS HS-PC-
DPW-MA-01 High Density optic, high and medium density codes, DPM (laser, ink jet and dot peen)
Omni-
directional
Operating
To read a symbol or capture an image, you simply
aim the reader and pull the trigger. Since the
Balluff BVS HS-PC-Series hand held is a powerful
omni-directional reader, the orientation of the sym-
bol is not important.
Decoding
Thanks to powerful algorithms, Balluff BVS HS-
PC-Series hand held reliably decodes all major 1D
(linear) barcodes, 2D stacked codes (such as
PDF417), 2D matrix symbols (such as DataMatrix),
postal codes (such as POSTNET, PLANET). The
data stream — acquired from decoding a symbol
— is rapidly sent to the host. The reader is imme-
diately available to read another symbol.
Formatting
and
Concatenating
The string of a decoded code may be processed
according to either a simple or advanced data for-
matting and be concatenated.
Imaging
The Balluff BVS HS-PC-Series hand held can also
function as a camera by capturing entire images or
image portions of labels, signatures, and other
items.
Autoscanning
An autoscan command causes the reader to scan
continuously and to monitor the central zone of its
reading area.
Flash Memory
Flash technology allows you to upgrade the Balluff
BVS HS-PC-Series hand held reader as new sym-
bologies are supported or as improved decoding
algorithms become available.

nicating with its host.
1Connect the Cable to the reader and the Host, shown on page 9.
2Configure the Interface (see page 11).
3Configure the Reader starting on page 19 (optional, depends on
settings needed)
Connect the BVS HS-PC readers hand held by plugging directly into the
host device as shown. The power can also be supplied through an exter-
nal power supply via the Interface Cable supplied with a power jack.

4Using the BVS HS-PC reader
BVS HS-PC
Industrial Corded Handheld Barcode Reader
4UsingtheBVSHS-PCreader
The BVS HS-PC reader normally functions by capturing and decoding
barcodes. The reader is equipped with an internal motion-sensing
function which activates the aiming system on device motion. The intel-
ligent aiming system indicates the field of view which should be posi-
tioned over the barcode:
Aiming System
The field of view indicated by the aiming system will be smaller when
the reader is closer to the barcode and larger when it is farther from the
code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be
read closer to the unit. Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil
size) should be read farther from the unit.
If the entire barcode is within the aiming field, you will get a good read.
Successful reading is signaled by an audible tone plus a good-read
green spot LED indicator which is backprojected at the read code.
Reference the BVS HS-P series operation manual (OPM) for more infor-
mation about this feature and other programmable settings.

BVS HS-PC
Industrial Corded Handheld Barcode Reader
5 Selecting the Interface Type
Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its
host, proceed directly to Interface Selection below for information and
programming for the interface type the reader is connected to (for
example: RS-232, USB, etc.) and scan the appropriate barcode to
select your system’s correct interface type.
5.1 Interface Selection
All models are multi-interface and support RS-232 and USB.
Information and programming options for each interface type are pro-
vided in this section. For defaults and addi- tional information associ-
ated with each interface, proceed to the corresponding chapter in the
BVS HS-P series operation manual (OPM).
5.1.1 Configuring the Interface
Scan the appropriate programming barcode to selects the interface
type for your system.
NOTE
Unlike some other programming features and
options, interface selections require that you scan
only one programming barcode label. DO NOT
scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode prior to scanning an
interface selection barcode.
Some interfaces require the scanner to start in the
disabled state when powered up. If additional scan-
ner configuration is desired while in this state, pull
the trigger and hold for 5 seconds. The scanner will
change to a state that allows programming with
barcodes.

BVS HS-PC
Industrial Corded Handheld Barcode Reader
6 Programming
The reader is factory-configured with a set of standard default features.
After scanning the interface barcode from the Interfaces section, select
other options and customize your reader through use of the program-
ming barcodes available in the BVS HS-PC reader. Check the corre-
sponding features section for your interface, and also the Data Editing
and Symbologies chapters of the OPM.
6.1 Using Programming Barcodes
This manual contains barcodes which allow you to reconfigure your
reader. Some programming barcode labels, Programming like the
"Reset Default Settings" on page 15, require only the scan of that single
label to enact the change.
Other barcodes require the reader to be placed in Programming Mode
prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enter
Programming Mode; scan the desired parameter settings; scan the
ENTER/EXIT barcode again to accept your changes, which exits Pro-
gramming Mode and returns the reader to normal operation.
6.2 Configure Other Settings
Additional programming barcodes are available in the OPM to allow for
customizing programming features. If your installation requires different
programming than the standard factory default settings, refer to the
