3 Device description
3.1 Device overview
3.1.1 The CR 55 bar code reader
The bar code reader is a CCD based line scanner with integrated decoder for all commonly used bar
codes, e.g. 2/5 Interleaved, Code 39, Code 128, EAN etc.
The many possible configurations of the device allow it to be adapted to a multitude of reading tasks. Due
to the small dimensions of the unit and its large reading field, the bar code reader can also be used in highly
constrained spaces.
Information on technical data and characteristics: see chapter 11.
3.1.2 Stand alone operation
The bar code reader is operated as a “stand-alone” single device. It is equipped with a six-wire cable with
open ends for the electrical connection of the supply voltage, the interface, the switching input and the
switching output.
3.2 Performance characteristics
• High-performance CCD scanner with front beam exit
• Compact design for simple integration, even in constrained spaces
• Robust metal housing with cable connection
• RS 232 interface, one switching input, one switching output
3.3 Device construction

Mounting
Leuze electronic CR 55 10
4 Mounting
You can fasten the bar code reader at the M2.5 mounting threads.
4.1 Selecting a 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 scanned.
• The reading field of the bar code reader in relation to the bar code module width.
• The bar code reader is designed for reading codes in ladder orientation.
• the resulting minimum and maximum reading distance from the respective reading field; see
figure 11.1.
• alignment of the bar code reader for avoiding reflections.
• distance between bar code reader and host system with respect to the interface.
The best read results are obtained when
• the reading distance lies in the middle area of the reading field.
• there is no direct sunlight and extraneous light is avoided.
• the bar code labels are of good print quality and have good contrast ratios.
• you do not use high-gloss labels.
• the bar code is moved past the reading window with a rotational angle of 10° to 15°.
• the red light beam is narrowed down for its respective reading task in order to avoid reflections on
shiny components.
α Azimuth angle
β Angle of inclination
γ Angle of rotation
Recommended angle of rotation: γ > 10°
Figure 4.1: Definition of the reading angles
The size of the bar code module influences the maximum reading distance and the width of the
reading field. Therefore, when selecting a mounting location and/or the bar code label, take into
account the different reading characteristics of the scanner with various bar code modules.
NOTICE
Observe when choosing the mounting location!
Maintaining the required environmental conditions (temperature, humidity).
Possible soiling of the reading window due to liquids, abrasion by boxes, or packaging material resi-
dues.
Lowest possible chance of damage to the scanner by mechanical collision or jammed parts.
Possible extraneous light influence (no direct sunlight).
With front-side beam exit, the beam exits the bar code reader nearly perpendicular to the reading
window. The bar code label must be rotated by > 10° to avoid a total reflection of the red light
beam in the case of glossy labels.

Electrical connection
Leuze electronic CR 55 11
5 Electrical connection
5.1 Voltage supply
The bar code reader is designed for connection to a 5 V supply voltage.
• +5 V DC (red)
• GND (violet)
Available as an accessory is an adapter circuit board with spring terminals and 9-pin SUB-D socket; see
chapter 12.2 "Accessories".
• With the adapter circuit board, the conductors of the connection cable can be contacted via the
spring terminals and connected to the PC via the 9-pin SUB-D socket with an RS 232 interconnec-
tion cable.
• With the adapter circuit board, the voltage supply from 10 … 30 V DC can be fed in via spring termi-
nals or, alternatively, 5 V DC can be fed in via a micro USB connector.
5.2 Pin assignment of the connection cable
5.3 Switching input/Switching output
The bar code reader is provided with a switching input and a switching output.
• The switching input is used to trigger reading.
• The switching output signals successful code reading.
5.3.1 Switching input
By means of the SW IN switching input connection, you can trigger a read process in the standard setting
(low = active) with the connection SW IN (orange) and GND (violet). We recommend wiring a 2.2 kΩ “pull-
up” resistor as defined cable termination; see figure 5.1.
CAUTION
Safety notices
The bar code reader is completely sealed and must not be opened.
Do not try to open the device under any circumstances, as this voids both degree of protection IP 54
and the warranty.
Before connecting the device, be sure that the supply voltage agrees with the value printed on the
name plate.
Connection of the device and maintenance work while under voltage must only be carried out by a
qualified electrician.
The power supply unit for the generation of the supply voltage for the bar code reader and the corre-
sponding connection units must have a secure electrical insulation according to IEC 60742 (PELV).
For UL applications: only for use in “class 2” circuits according to NEC.
If faults cannot be corrected, the device should be removed from operation and protected against pos-
sible commissioning.

5.4 PC or terminal connection
Via the serial interface, you can configure the bar code reader by means of a PC or terminal. For this, you
need an RS 232 connection that establishes the RxD, TxD and GND connections between PC and bar
code reader.
The RS 232 connection can be established in the following ways:
• Direct connection of the bar code reader connection wires to the PC or terminal via its own connec-
tor.
• Connection via an MA-CR adapter circuit board
To simplify the connection of the connection wires to the PC interface, an adapter circuit board (MA-
CR) is available for implementing individual wire contacting to SUB-D, 9-pin; see chapter 12.2.

6 Configuration and diagnostic software - Sensor Studio
The Sensor Studio configuration software provides a graphical user interface for the operation, configura-
tion and diagnosis of the device via the RS 232 interface.
A device that is not connected to the PC can be configured offline.

The
Sensor Studio configuration software is designed according to the FDT/DTM concept:
• You make the individual configuration settings for the bar code reader in the Device Type Manager
(DTM).
• The individual DTM configurations of a project can be called up via the frame application of the Field
Device Tool (FDT).
• Communication DTM for bar code readers:
LeCommInterface
• Device DTM for bar code readers CR 55
Procedure for the installation of the software and hardware:
Install the
Sensor Studio configuration software on the PC.
Install the communication and device DTM.
Communication and device DTM are included in the
LeAnalysisCollectionSetup installation package.
Create CR 55-DTM in the project tree of the
Sensor Studio FDT frame.
Connect bar code reader to PC; see chapter 5.4
Activate service interface on bar code reader; see chapter 7.3.2

6.2.4 Connecting bar code reader to PC
The bar code reader is connected to the PC via the RS 232 interface. For this, you need an RS 232
connection that establishes the RxD, TxD and GND connections between PC and bar code reader; see
chapter 5.4.
• You need an RS 232 connection that establishes the RxD, TxD and GND connections between PC
and bar code reader; see chapter 5.4.
• The 5 V DC voltage supply is to be fed in externally; see chapter 5.1.
6.3 Starting the Sensor Studio
configuration software
Prerequisites:
• The bar code reader has been mounted (see chapter 4) and connected (see chapter 5) correctly.
• The bar code reader is connected to the PC via the RS 232 interface (see chapter 6.2.4).
• The service interface is activated on the bar code reader; see chapter 7.3.2
•The
