Introduction
The barcode scanner BCSi are designed to read all common barcodes 1D & 2D and to transmit these
barcode data to an existing ASD (application supporting device) in ha ardous or non-ha ardous areas.
The BCSi is freely positionable in front of the barcode. A interactive vibration feedback after a
successful scan is offered by the BCSi (an advantage for loud environments). There are bi-focus
positions for capturing of max. focus-decoding area. The scanner provides exceptional depth of field
on all bar code densities.
The BCSi provides built-in illumination which allows work in any ambient lighting condition — from
total darkness to bright sunlight.
A wide selection of parameters may be configured to adapt the BCSi settings for your particular
application.
The BCSi available as cable and as radio frequency version.
The cable scanner version has an intrinsically safe interface for power and data. The data transmission
is reali ed via a serial interface. The cable version is available for low-power and high-power
intrinsically safe power interfaces.
The radio frequency version has an intrinsically safe interface for charging of internal batteries in
ha ardous areas via intrinsically safe interfaces, such as for instance ExMod-1-2-3. The data
transmission is reali ed via a radio frequency interface (Bluetooth). The radio frequency version is
available with integrated 10mW and 100mW Bluetooth modules.
The radio frequency version disable the scanengine when charging is in process.
All versions of the BCSi developed for use in ha ardous areas Zone 0, Zone 20, EPL Ga and EPL Da.

BCSi-1 * models available
Various models of BCSi-1 * can be supplied:
-

-1 = C LP
C LPC LP
C LP : Cable barcode scanner Low Power.
Barcode scanner with cable connection and low intrinsically safe input power at the
power line. The connection interface to the other existing application supporting
devices is reali ed via serial intrinsically safe interface.
This variant is developed with internal energybuffer to provide the necessary power
for the scanner electronic (duty cycle typ. 5%). A pre-charging of typ. 16h for this
internal buffer is necessary before first operation.
C HP
C HPC HP
C HP : Cable barcode scanner High Power.
Barcode scanner with cable connection and high intrinsically safe input power at the
power line. The connection interface to the other existing application supporting
devices is via serial intrinsically safe interface.
RF 10
RF 10RF 10
RF 10 : Radio frequency scanner (Bluetooth)
Barcode scanner with data transmission by radio frequency with typ. radiated power
of 10mW.
This variant is developed with integrated Bluetooth module (Class 2) to transmit
data to other existing application supporting devices. For charging of this cordless
barcode scanner a intrinsically safe interface required (e.g. ExMod-1-2-3).
RF 100
RF 100RF 100
RF 100: Radio frequency scanner (Bluetooth)
Barcode scanner with data transmission by radio frequency with typ. radiated power
of 100mW.
This variant is developed with integrated Bluetooth module (Class 1) to transmit
data to other existing application supporting devices. For charging of this cordless
barcode scanner a intrinsically safe interface required (e.g. ExMod-1-2-3).
