1System Description
1.1 Definition
The bar code scanning systems from BARTEC are complete systems consisting of the
BCS 3800ex handheld scanner and the power pack that goes with it.
The handheld scanner was developed specially for use in hazardous (potentially
explosive) areas and it is ATEX-certified:
BCS 3800ex Handheld Scanner Type 17-21BA-0024
for Zone 1 in the intrinsic safety type of protection and Zone 21.
The type 17-21BA-0024 bar code scanning system for use in Zone 1 and Zone 21
consists of the following components:

1.2 Areas of Application
Hand-guided application in industrial and commercial areas.
The type 17-21BA-0024 BCS 3800ex handheld scanner is the successor model to the
BCS 302ex handheld scanner. This generation of explosion-proof handheld scanners
works within the visible red light range. Almost all types of bar code labels can be read,
e.g. coloured labels, labels made of heat-sensitive paper, etc. The handheld scanner
allows data acquisition even under extreme conditions.
The handheld scanner reads bar code labels reliably on awkward, round or rough
surfaces too. It can even read partially soiled labels properly. The data is acquired
without contact. The non-contact data acquisition means that the labels will not be
destroyed even if the scanner is used constantly.
The handheld scanner was developed specially for use in hazardous areas:
Note See operating instruction for instructions for the Power Pack.

3.1 Notes of Handling
The device is factory-sealed. Do not open it!
The device may be opened in the factory only!
Protect the device from impact effects! Do not expose the equipment to
corrosive/aggressive liquids, vapours or mist! Take the equipment out of the
hazardous area immediately if it malfunctions or if the enclosure is damaged and bring
it into the safe area to put it out of operation!
Danger! Put the device out of operation immediately also if you suspect that the operating
equipment can no longer be operated safely after harmful effects or general
irregularities (e.g. penetration of water, fluids, effect of temperatures outside the
specified range etc.).
Recommendation: Don’t dry-wipe and clean the device in the hazardous area.
The user may not open the device.
The user may not modify the device in any way. Components may not be changed or
replaced. If components other than those specified are used, the explosion-proofness
can no longer be assured.
Ensure safe handling of the equipment during operation by making sure the device is
in a steady position and the user has sufficient space to move!
Caution!
After use, the equipment must be placed where it will be sheltered from falling objects
and out of danger of falling itself. This must also be ensured even if it is only put down
for a short time during a break from work.

Laser-equipped device products from HAND-HELD Products conform to the US 21
CFR 1040,10 standards as well as EN 60825-1.. The classification of the laser device
is specified on a label attached to the device. Class 1 laser devices are classified as
not hazardous if used in the manner intended. The following declaration is required to
comply with American and international legislation:
Caution!
The use of controls, adaptations or the application of procedures that do not
agree with the instructions described here can lead to a hazardous exposure to
radiation.
Class 2 laser devices operate with a visible low-voltage light diode. As with any bright
source of light, for example the sun, the user should avoid looking directly into the light
beam. However, momentary or brief exposure to a Class 2 laser is not considered
harmful.
3.3.1 International
The device meets internationally recognised standards for the exposure of people to
electromagnetic fields from radio equipment.
Reduction of high frequency energy - use in accordance with the intended purpose
Use the device only in accordance with the provided instructions.
3.3.2 Handheld Devices
To conform to the FCC RF Directives, the cable that is connected to the handheld
scanner must be produced with shielding. The cable label must be attached to the
housing on the connector or socket.
3.4 Health and Safety Recommendations
Danger!
Use only accessories approved by BARTEC. All components must be dry before
they may be connected to an external power supply.
