of use.
When using the device in the U.S.A., use the stick-on label with the "Complies with
21 CFR 1040.10" notice.
Affix the laser information and warning signs near the device if no signs are attached
to the device (e.g., because the device is too small) or if the attached laser information
and warning signs are concealed due to the installation position.
Affix the laser information and warning signs so that they are legible without exposing
the reader to the laser radiation of the device or other optical radiation.

3 Fast commissioning / operating principle
Below you will find a short description for the initial commissioning of the BCL 338i. Detailed
explanations for all listed points can be found throughout this technical description.
3.1 Mounting the BCL 338i
The BCL 338ibar code readers can be mounted in two different ways:
• Via four M4x6 screws on the device bottom.
• Via a BT 56 mounting device in the fastening groove on the housing bottom.
3.2 Device arrangement and selection of the mounting location
In order to select the right mounting location, several factors must be considered:
• Size, orientation, and position tolerance of the bar codes on the objects to be scan-
ned.
• The reading field of the BCL 338iin relation to the bar code module width.
• The resulting minimum and maximum reading distance from the respective reading
field.
• The permissible cable lengths between the BCL 338iand the host system depending
on which interface is used.
• The correct time for data output. The BCL 338ishould be positioned in such a way
that, taking into consideration the time required for data processing and the conveyor
belt speed, there is sufficient time to e.g. initiate sorting operations on the basis of the
read data.
• The display and control panel should be very visible and accessible.
• For configuring and commissioning with the webConfig tool, the USB interface should
be easily accessible.
For specific information, please refer to Chapter 6 and Chapter 7.
Note!
The beam exits the BCL 338ias follows for the respective devices:
- line scanner parallel to the housing base
- deflecting mirror 105 degrees to the housing base
- oscillating mirror perpendicular to the housing base.
The black areas in Figure 6.2 are the housing base. The best read results are obtained
when:
•The BCL 338iis mounted in such a way that the scanning beam is incident on the bar
code at an angle of inclination greater than ±10° … 15° to vertical.
• The reading distance lies in the middle area of the reading field.
• The bar code labels are of good print quality and have good contrast ratios.
• You do not use high-gloss labels.
• There is no direct sunlight.

3.3 BCL 338ielectrical connection
For the electrical connection of the BCL 338i, various connection variants are available.
The voltage supply (18 … 30VDC) is connected acc. to the connection type selected.
2 freely programmable switching inputs/outputs for individual adaptation to the respec-
tive application are also available here. Detailed information on this topic can be found in
Chapter 7.3.4.
