3-2 Photoelectric sensor connection
The default initial level triggering direction of the device is down. Connect the photoelectric
sensor GND to the signal terminal GND and the photoelectric sensor OUT terminal to the signal
terminal IN. When the photoelectric sensor OUT terminal level drops, the trigger takes effect.
Recommended model of photoelectric sensor:
Model
OMRON E3Z-D62
SICK WT100-N1432
Working condition
NPN normally open type
NPN normally open type
Working voltage
12-36VDC
10-30VDC
Detection distance
0-90cm
Note 1: Common photoelectric sensor operating voltage is higher than 5V, the photoelectric
sensor needs to select an external adaptor power supply based on the rated voltage.

By default, the barcode reader is triggered by level drop. If you select level rise trigger, scan the
setting code of level rise trigger. Trigger rising level should not be less than 5V.
3-3 Switch triggered wiring
The device default initial logic, take the button switch as an example. Connect the switch to
signal terminal 2 and 3. When the switch is pressed, the trigger takes effect：

By default, it is triggered by level drop. If you need to change it, please scan the setting code of
level rise trigger.

3-4 Relay trigger wiring
The default initial logic of the device connects the relay to signal terminal 2 and 3. When the
rated voltage is applied externally, the trigger takes effect. The corresponding line sequence is
shown in the table:
4 Installation and adjustment
4-1 Before installation
Before installation, please pay attention to the following items and check the installation
conditions：
1. No influence of ambient light;
Please avoid sunlight, other lighting, photoelectric sensors and other ambient light entering the
FV3X light receiving area, otherwise it may cause reading instability or reading error.
2. Check whether the light source of the barcode reader is blocked;
If the light source is blocked, the barcode may not be detected. If there are other devices
emitting strong light (direct light and reflected light) on site, please set up a shading plate to
avoid that such strong light may damage the barcode reader or cause code reading failure.

5-2 Connecting FV3X to infostepper
1.RS-232 connection
After the device is directly connected to the computer serial port, check "Device
Manager→""Port", confirm the port number, click "Connect" when connecting to the software,
then the "Connect to device" window will pop up, select "Serial PortSettings", then click "Port
Number" Select the corresponding COM number below. If the COM number is not displayed,
you can click the "Refresh" button to search; the baud rate, data bit, stop bit, etc. are consistent
with the device; as shown in the figure:
Click "Connect to device" after the connection is successful, the device will have a buzzer
prompt, as shown in the figure：
Note: Display the online device model and version information and connection mode, serial port
number of the device baud rate and other information; The feedback information part shows the
date and time of online and other related information; Click "Image" or "Settings" to set the
reader in detail after online and interactive success. (In the image, due to the RS232 serial port
transmission rate limit, the "continuous shooting function" cannot be used, and USB port is
required to connect)

17
2.USB connection
After the device is directly connected to the computer, first check the "Device Manager" ---,
"Port" (under the premise of installing the USB serial port driver), click "Connect" when
connecting to the software, then the Device connection window will pop up, select "Serial Port
Settings" , select the corresponding "COM Number FV" under "Port Number", if "COM Number
FV" is not displayed, you can click the “Refresh” button to search.
Finally click "Connect to device", The USB connection screen is as shown in the figure：

5-3 Setting image parameters
1.In the USB simulation serial port connection, select "Continuous view". View "Image
Parameter Settings"；
2. Mode 1: Adjust the imaging brightness with a value of 1-240, as shown in the figure. The
imaging brightness is set to 10 and the image is dark. When the imaging brightness is set to 50,
the image becomes obviously bright and the sample bar code shows a green box, which can be
decoded successfully.
3.Mode 2: Adjust the lighting source, as shown in the figure.
Different light sources, imaging brightness will be different. As shown, the imaging is reflected in
different light sources at the imaging brightness of 50.
Imaging brightness is set to 10
Imaging brightness is set to 50
Note: The confirmation and adjustment of image parameters should be made according
to the specific characteristics of reading products to meet reading requirements;
No light at all
Main body light
Auxiliary light
Combined light

2.You can set Baud Rate, Parity type, and Data bit/Stop bit as required. For example, set baud
rate to 9600, select 9600, and click Ok.
3. Click "Download Settings". If the Settings are successful, the buzzer of the barcode reader
feedback and the setting status in the list displays "Succeeded", indicating that the baud rate
setting is successful.
