2.1 Intended use
The hand-held scanners in the BCS 3600ex series are used for the mobile capture,processing and transfer of data
within potentially explosive atmospheres. The data are transferred either using a connection cable (BCS 3608ex) or
using a Bluetooth connection (BCS3678ex). The hand-held scanners in the BCS 3600ex series have been modified
for use in the following potentially explosive atmospheres:
Configuration Approved zone

Ensure thatthe application area corresponds to the explosion protection marking and permissible ambient
conditions (see the User Manual).
Remove the device from the potentially explosive atmosphere immediately in the event of a malfunction or
damaged enclosure.
Only use accessories specified by BARTEC in the potentially explosive atmosphere.

2.4 Residual risks
2.4.1 Risk of an explosion caused by electrical ignition sources
Electrical ignition sources can trigger fires and explosions in a potentially explosive atmosphere.
Non-approved components
Specific hand-held scanners and accessories (including universal supply module,battery, cable) are suitable for each
potentially explosive atmosphere. Hand-held scanners and components that have not been approved for the
respective potentially explosive atmosphere may trigger explosions.
Only use components that have been approved for the relevant zone.
Spark formation during battery change and cable connection
Sparks can arise when changing the battery or connecting cables. Sparks can trigger an explosion in a potentially
explosive atmosphere.
Only insert or remove the battery outside the potentially explosive atmosphere.
Only connect or disconnect the cable outside the potentially explosive atmosphere.
Always have cables connected by a qualified electrician.
Spark formation caused by the battery falling out / the connection cable coming unplugged
The following risks arise ifthe safety lock on the underneath of the hand-held scanner is not correctly closed:
‒The battery on a Bluetooth hand-held scanner can fall out.
‒The connection cable on a wired hand-held scanner cancome unplugged.
This can producesparks which can trigger an explosion.
Check thatthe safety lock is correctly closed before taking the hand-held scanner into the potentially explosive
atmosphere.
Broken enclosure: loss of explosion protection
The hand-held scanner has been tested for falls from a height of up to 2.4 m (Zone 2 / Div. 2) and 1.2 m (Zone 1 /
Div. 1). There is a risk of the enclosure or the scan window breaking during falls froma greater height,in which case
the explosion protection is no longer guaranteed.
Protecthand-held scanners from falling from a greater height.
If the hand-held scanner has fallen froma greater heightor you suspect a damaged enclosure:
– Remove the hand-held scanner from the potentially explosive atmosphere immediately.
– Send the hand-held scanner to BARTEC.

Corrosion: loss of explosion protection
The enclosure ofthe hand-held scanner has protectionclass IP67, however constant exposure to moisture can lead
to corrosion. This may lead to the loss of the explosion protection.
Protecthand-held scanners againstconstantexposure to moisture.
Do not subject hand-held scanners to any damp weather conditions.
2.4.2 Damage to eyes causedby laser light
The hand-held scanner operates with a Class 2 laser. Laser beams can damage eyes.
Do not look into the laser beam.
2.4.3 Risks of cuts if the scan window is broken
The scan window may become damaged if the hand-held scanner falls down. There is a risk of cuts if you reach into
the broken or cracked area.
When getting the hand-held scanner out, secure it to prevent it falling down.
Only get the hand-held scanner out when itreaches its destination.
If the scan window is broken:
– Do not touch the broken area.
– Do not use the hand-heldscanner.
– Send the faulty hand-held scanner to BARTEC.
2.4.4 Health hazard in the case of incorrect disposal
Lithium ion batteries on the Bluetooth hand-held scanner contain pollutants that can be harmful to health.
Dispose of batteries in an environmentally sound way in accordance with regionalregulations.

2.5 Preventing damage to property
2.5.1 Short circuit caused by incorrect connection
Incorrectelectrical connection can cause a shortcircuit, thereby damaging the hand-held scanner.
Always have the hand-held scanner connected by a qualified electrician in accordance with the connection
diagram.
2.5.2 Storage at too high a temperature
A thermal fuse prevents the hand-held scanner getting too hotduring operation and triggering an explosion. There is
also a risk of the hand-held scanner getting too hot if the hand-held scanner is stored outside of the permissible
ambienttemperatures. The hand-heldscanner is damaged as soon as the thermal fuse responds.
Only store the hand-held scanner within the permissibleambienttemperatures.
2.5.3 Aggressive cleaning agents
Aggressive cleaning agents can attack and fade the scan window, thereby impairing the scanning functionality. In
extreme cases scanning is no longer possible.
Only use a damp cloth to clean the hand-held scanner.
2.5.4 Contact with chemicals
The enclosure ofthe hand-held scanner consists of polycarbonate thathas only limited chemical resistance. Contact
with chemicals can break the enclosure.
Do not bring the hand-held scanner into contact with chemicals.
