Service Procedures
DataMan 50 Service Procedures
DataMan 50 can operate in one of three distance ranges. Perform the following steps to set the focus position:
1. Remove the screws, the lens cover and the rubber part.
2. Set the focus position using a coin. Do not use a coin thicker than 2 mm. If no coin is available, use the edge of
the back cover.
3. Make sure that the sealing and the sealing surface are clean before mounting.
4. Line up the holes with the icons and attach the rubber part to the front window.
5. Attach both to the housing and add the four screws.
6. Tighten the screws in the order shown in the image below. The maximum torque for the cover screws is 8 N-cm
(0.7 pound-inch).
