General Information

1 Brief Description

Radio Scanner SK-30... :

-No cable; radio distance: typically 20 m (max. 40 m) to the base station

-Great scan distance (20 cm ... 6 m); ideal for scanning from a fork truck

-Light weight (170 g)

-Wide scan field (up to 220 cm at 6 m scan distance; min. bar width is

then 3 mm)

-High capacitance, safe NiMH battery

-More than 10,000 scan procedures before recharging

-Scan procedure released by button; automatic stand-by

-Automatic recognition of all standard bar codes

-Easy programming by scanning programming bar codes

-Standard accessory: carrying strap and holster

Base Station BS-30..

-Approved for operating inside of the Ex area

-Interface modes for order no. BS300: RS232 + RS-485 or PS/2

-Interface modes for order no. BS300USB: RS232 + RS-485 or USB

-Radio channel selection via bar codes; 10 channels about 433 MHz

2 Delivery Components

Delivery includes:

-Bar code radio scanner SK-30...

-Base station with terminals inside of an EEx e housing: BS-30...

-Charging device with wall cube: LK-300, 230 VAC, not allowed inside of Ex

area

-Optionally: holster GK-300, universal charger LU-300 (100 ... 240 VAC)

-Instruction manual

-Programming guide

3 Start-up

1. Connect the terminals of the base station, see chapter 7

2. Register the scanner to the respective base station by scanning the bar

code on the base station, see also chapter 4.3 of the "User Guide"

3. Select the desired interface mode, bar code types and radio channel, as

explained in the folded sheet of the scanner and in chapter 5.2 of the "User

Guide"

For example: To achieve the simulation of a PS/2 device scan from the

table "Keyboard Wedge Mode":

Bar Code Radio Scanner System ELBScan-300 - Technical Documentation

02.10.2007 © E.L.B. Ex-Geräte Bachmann GmbH & Co.KG Page 4

•Start of Configuration

•Keyboard Wedge Mode Activated

•1-1 (= US keyboard ID code [2 numbers]) or 6-1-1 (= UK ID code)

•Return (for one "Carriage Return" after each scan)

•"lower case" ("upper case" = CAPS LOCK)

•End of Configuration

For the special USB version the ID code is 524 (US+UK)

For RS232 transmission please scan from the table "RS232 Mode" or the

"Factory Settings" from page 5:

•Start of Configuration

•RS232 Mode Activated

•End of Configuration

This activates the default values shown in the left upper corner of the table

(baud rate, number of data bits ...).

4. Scan one bar code and check its transmission to the PC. For the meaning

of the tones and melodies please read chapter 4.4 of the "User Guide".

Examples:

•descending melody during scanning: Battery empty soon (after the next 2 scans).

•Ascending melody connecting the scanner to the charger: Battery was flat, former

registration to a base station lost, please register again.

Please note:

-The Ex-protected base station provides only the data terminals mentioned in chapter 7:

"Terminals".

-If scanner and base station are configured to wait for an acknowledge signal from the PC,

this will take several seconds for each scanning procedure. (See chapter 5 of the "User

Guide".)

-In PS/2 mode the base station does not answer to the PC like a keyboard, in order not to

disturb the communication between the PC and a keyboard in parallel to the base station.

This might make the PC switch off the PS/2 lines. In this case please switch a keyboard

or a PS/2 simulator in parallel inside of the safe area using our keyboard wedge KS-20 or

modify the BIOS configuration ("Stand Alone PC" e.g.).

-After "misunderstandings" between scanner and PC in PS/2 mode please scan the

"default settings" (barcode see folder), scan some product bar codes and go the PS/2

mode again. Sometimes even several scans of the code "end of configuration" may help.

Correct connections are not enough to ensure correct data transmission. Please see chapter 7

"Terminals" for data types and values. Configuration of the scanner is described in the

"programming Guide" and the "User Guide". Factory settings see page 4 of the folder e.g.

Please note,

•that the antenna cannot be screwed off the base station !!

•that the long range version of the scanner needs at least 30 cm distance from a

bar code, even for registration to the base station.

•that bar code labels may shine, even the one on the base station. In this case

incline the laser beam.

•If scanners refuse registration to base stations: Charge the battery completely. If

this does not help: scan "End of configuration" from any configuration procedure.

4 Charging of the built-in Battery

Charging only with the enclosed charging device and outside of the Ex area.

The charger contains circuitry to protect Ex components inside of the scanner.

The charging head may be fixed to the wall like in

the figure. It should then be mounted so high, that

the charging LED is easily visible. Fix the scanner

to the wall with a fitting pipe clip e.g.

Plug in the wall cube and connect the scanner

with the charger head with the laser window (and

the LED) away from the wall. The charging pins

will now easily lock in the scanner contacts, which

the scanner acknowledges with a beep (or an

ascending melody, if the battery had been flat).

The LED is continuously on.

The LED flashes at room temperature when the

battery is charged about 70%. Do not leave the

scanner in the charger eternally. Long time stand-

by charging reduces the life time of the battery.

Approximate charging times at room temp.:

hours 1,3 4 8

charge [%] 25 50 100

5 Cleaning

You may clean the scanner and the base station lamp with a damp cloth or a

brush. Clean the laser window of the scanner from time to time with a very soft

cloth. No cleaning inside of the Ex area because of potential charging of the

cleaning tool!

11 Use for the Intended purpose

System ELBScan-30... is only meant to serve for scanning bar codes and

transmit data to a PC. Any other application is regarded to be against the

intended use. Modifications and demounting is forbidden if not described in

this manual.

12 Safety advice

Bar code scanner SK-30... must only be charged with the enclosed

charging device and only outside of the Ex area. The charging

device contains circuitry to protect Ex components inside of the

scanner during charging.

The scanner contains a NiMH battery. Battery and device must be disposed according to the

respective ordinances.

The PS/2 socket must only be connected with intrinsically safe keyboards. Approved electrical

values see chapter 6: "Electronic circuitry" and "Ex Protection".

Read the manual completely and carefully before operation. Only the latest documentation is

valid.

Installation, maintenance and cleaning of the units must only be performed by persons trained

and authorized for this purpose, insofar as they are familiar with the units.

If it can be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible, switch off the unit and secure it

against renewed switching-on.

It is prohibited for the operator or his staff to open the units in a way that is not described in

this manual. This may only be done by specifically authorized personnel of E.L.B. Ex-Geräte

GmbH & Co. KG

Modifications and conversions to the units are not permissible and will cause the Ex protection

and the guarantee to become void.

Exchanging of batteries and opening of the battery box only outside of hazardous

areas.

Only use battery cells type Duracell MN 1500 AA.

Light emitting diode radiation. Do not turn the light directly to the eyes of men or

animals

E.L.B. Ex-Geräte GmbH & Co. KG is not liable for any subsequent damage.

The technical data specified for the hazardous area comply with the values certified in the

European EEx approval. The user bears the sole responsibility of examining the equipment

with regard to its suitability for the intended application and environmental conditions. E.L.B.

Ex-Geräte GmbH & Co. KG accepts no liability for any lack of suitability.

For the installation, maintenance and cleaning of the units, it is absolutely necessary to

observe the applicable ordinances and provisions concerned with explosion protection (VDE

0160, VDE 0165 or EN 60079-14, EN 50014 - 50039) as well as the Accident Prevention

Regulations (UVV).

Radiation from light emitting diodes.

Do not look into the beam.

Do not beam into eyes.
