SAFETY PRECAUTATIONS
Cleaning
zCleaning the reading window
If dust, dirt, or water drops get on the reading window or if it gets scratched, this
will aect barcode reading performance.
Periodically inspect the reading window to see if there is anything on it, and when
you nd something, clean it o.
Cleaning methods
zTo clean the reading window, blow o dust/dirt with an airbrush, and then gently wipe it o with a soft-tipped item
such as a cotton swab.
zIf there are water drops on the reading window, wipe them o with a soft cloth.
zAlways turn o the power supply before cleaning the product.
PMMA is used for the reading window material, so do not use organic solvents (such as alcohol, thinner, or
benzine), ammonia, or sodium hydroxide. Otherwise this may change the properties of the reading window.
zCleaning the unit
zPlease wipe the dust o a body of the WB1F with a soft, dry cloth.
zWhen that body is very dirty, please wipe it with a cloth soaked in a neutral detergent diluted with water and wrung out
thoroughly, and then wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol, thinner, or benzine.
This may alter the case or strip the paint.

(1) Reading window The unit reads barcodes through the reading window.
While the unit is reading barcodes, the internal emitter LED turns on.
(2) Operation button Use the operation button to turn on the barcode reading request and to switch the opera-
tion mode.
(3) Indicator LED
The indicator LED indicates the operating status of the unit.
(Green): Turns on when reading has succeeded and the read image is matched on comparison.
(Orange) : Turns on during a reading operation.
(Red): Turns on when reading fails and the read image is not matched on comparison.
This operation may dier due to the settings.
The status of the indicator LEDs also changes due to the unit's operating status.
(4) Connecting cable
RS-232 type
zThis type communicates via the RS-232 interface.
zPerforms control of OK output, NG output, and PWM output.
zJudges the external trigger input status and turns the reading request on and o.

Installation & wiring
This chapter describes WB1F installation locations, mounting methods, and wiring the WB1F to peripheral devices.
2. 1 Installation precautions
RS-232 Type USB Type
zInstall the unit so that ambient light such as sunlight, uorescent light, and photoelectric switches does not enter the
reading window.
Otherwise the unit may not be able to read barcodes or it may erroneously read them.
Example
Take measures to block ambient light or to change the position of photoelectric switches.
Block
the light
zDo not install a reective body (metal or mirror) along the light receiving axis.
Otherwise the unit may not be able to read barcodes or it may erroneously read them.
Example
Prevent reections by applying black tape to the reective body.

Installation precautions
zWhen installing WB1F units in a series, install them so the emitted LED light does not overlap (so they do not interfere
with each other).
Otherwise the unit may not be able to read barcodes or it may erroneously read them.
Example
Install the WB1F units by increasing the spacing between them.
Interference
zInstall the WB1F so that two or more barcodes do not enter the reading area.
The WB1F cannot simultaneously read multiple barcodes.
Example
Use the WB1F by increasing the spacing between barcodes.

2. 2. 1 WB1F mounting methods
1 Check the dimensions of the mounting holes and drill holes in the mounting plate.
For the dimensions of the mounting holes, refer to FP. 5-4 "5. 3 Dimensional outline drawings".
2 For a plate thickness of 0.8 to 2.3 mm, use the two included product mounting screws and secure the WB1F to
the plate.
The tightening torque for the product mounting screws is 0.4 to 0.5 N·m.
Included product
mounting screws
M3 SEMS x 6 (2 screws)
Plate thickness 0.8 to 2.3 mm
When using the included product
mounting screws
zFor a plate thickness other than 0.8 to 2.3 mm, do not use the included product mounting screws.
Instead, use two M3 screws with an eective thread length of 3 to 5 mm and secure the WB1F to the
plate.
zWhen using the WB1F, remove the protective lm on the reading window.
zFor a plate thickness other than 0.8 to 2.3 mm, do not use the included product mounting screws.
zDo not over tighten the mounting screws or hit the product with a hammer or the protective construc-
tion will be damaged.

2. 2. 2 Setup barcode position
Install the unit so that barcode skew θ is in the range of -20° ≤ θ ≤ 0° and +20° ≤ θ ≤ +40°.
For the reading area, refer to FP. 5-2 "5. 2. 1 Field of view". For other angular characteristics, refer to FP. 5-3 "5. 2. 2
Angular characteristics". For detailed dimensions, refer to FP. 5-4 "5. 3 Dimensional outline drawings".

Do not read barcodes in the skew range 0° < θ <

* The light receiving axis is the path where the reected
light from the barcode travels to create an image on
the WB1F internal CCD. The unit reads barcodes that
are on the light receiving axis.
zSkew in a range of 0° < θ < 20° is in the mirror reection area (dead zone), so reading performance may dras-
tically decrease in ways such as the unit not being able to read or misreading barcodes.
zInstall the unit so the light receiving axis is in the center of the barcode.
zThe unit may not be able to read barcodes that are short in height as they will not be in the light receiving
axis.
Ensure that the barcode height is 3 mm or higher.
