2.5 Laser safety notices
2.5.1 Laser safety notices– laser class 2
ATTENTION, LASER RADIATION – CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT
Do not stare into beam
The device satisfies the requirements of IEC/EN 60825-1:2014 safety regulations for a product
of laser class 2 and complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 except for conformance with IEC 60825-1
Ed. 3., as described in Laser Notice No. 56, dated May 8, 2019.
Never look directly into the laser beam or in the direction of reflected laser beams!
If you look into the beam path over a longer time period, there is a risk of injury to the retina.
Do not point the laser beam of the device at persons!
Interrupt the laser beam using a non-transparent, non-reflective object if the laser beam is
accidentally directed towards a person.
When mounting and aligning the device, avoid reflections of the laser beam off reflective sur-
faces!
CAUTION! Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than specified
herein may result in hazardous light exposure.
Observe the applicable statutory and local laser protection regulations.
The device must not be tampered with and must not be changed in any way.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the device.
Repairs must only be performed by Leuze electronic GmbH + Co.
The bar code reader emits a moving laser beam that scans with a beam spread of 60°. Here,
the laser is operated in CW mode. A scanning laser beam in CW mode creates the perception
of repeating laser impulses if you inadvertently look into the beam. At a distance of 60 mm
from the exit window, pulse durations <150 µs with a pulse power of 2 mW would be received
by the eye of the observer. The mean laser power is <1 mW and the wavelength is 405 nm
(see figure 2.3).
NOTE
Affix laser information and warning signs!
Laser information and warning signs attached to the device.
Also included with the device are self-adhesive laser warning and laser information signs (stick-
on labels) in multiple languages.
Affix the laser information sheet to the device in the language appropriate for the place 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.

4 Functions
General information
The integrated fieldbus connectivity = i contained in the bar code readers of the BCL 600 i series facilitates
the use of identification systems which function without connection unit or gateways. The integrated
fieldbus interface considerably simplifies handling. The Plug-and-Play concept enables easy networking
and very simple commissioning: Directly connect the respective fieldbus and all configuration is performed
with no additional software.
For decoding bar codes, the bar code readers of the BCL 600 i series make available the proven CRT
decoder with code reconstruction technology:
The proven code reconstruction technology (CRT) enables bar code readers of the BCL 600 i series to read
bar codes with a small bar height, as well as bar codes with a damaged or soiled print image.
With the aid of the CRT decoder, bar codes can also be read without problem in other demanding situa-
tions, such as with a large tilt angle (azimuth angle or even angle of rotation).
Figure 4.1: Possible bar code orientation
The device needs a suitable activation to start a read process as soon as an object is in the reading field.
This opens a time window (reading gate) in the device for the read process during which the bar code
reader has time to detect and decode a bar code.
In the basic setting, triggering takes place through an external reading cycle signal. Alternative activation
options include online commands via the host interface and the autoReflAct function. Through the read
operation, the device collects additional useful pieces of data for diagnostics which can also be transmitted
to the host. The quality of the read operation can be inspected using the alignment mode which is inte-
grated in the webConfig tool.
A multi-language display with buttons is used to operate the device as well as for visualization purposes.
Two LEDs provide additional optical information on the current operating state of the device.
The four freely configurable switching inputs/outputs SWIO 1 … SWIO 4 can be assigned various func-
tions and control e.g. activation of the device or external devices, such as a PLC.
System, warning and error messages provide assistance in setup/troubleshooting during commissioning
and read operation.

Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG BCL 608 i 18
4.1 autoReflAct
autoReflAct stands for automatic Reflector Activation and permits an activation without additional sensors.
This is achieved by directing the scanner with reduced scanning beam towards a reflector mounted behind
the conveyor path. As long as the scanner is targeted at the reflector, the reading gate remains closed. If,
however, the reflector is blocked by an object such as a container with a bar code label, the scanner acti-
vates the read procedure, and the label on the container is read. When the path from the scanner to the
reflector has cleared, the read procedure has completed and the scanning beam is reduced and again
directed onto the reflector. The reading gate is closed.
Figure 4.2: Reflector arrangement for autoReflAct
The autoReflAct function uses the scanning beam to simulate a photoelectric sensor and thus permits an
activation without additional sensors.
4.2 Reference codes
The device offers the possibility of storing one or two reference codes.
It is possible to store the reference codes by means of teach-in (display command), via the webConfig tool
or via online commands.
The device can compare read bar codes with one and/or both reference codes and execute user-config-
urable functions depending on the comparison result.
4.3 autoConfig
With the autoConfig function, the device offers an extremely simple and convenient configuration option
to users who only want to read one code type (symbology) with one number of digits at a time.
After starting the autoConfig function via the display, switching input or from a superior control, it is suffi-
cient to position a bar code label with the desired code type and number of digits in the reading field of the
device.
Afterward, bar codes with the same code type and number of digits are recognized and decoded.
NOTE
You will find a matching reflector in Accessories, and more are available on request.

For further information, see chapter 10 "Starting up the device - Configuration".
4.4 Heating
For low-temperature applications to min. -35°C (e.g. in cold storage), the bar code readers of the BCL 600 i
series can optionally be permanently fitted with a built-in heating and these bar code readers purchased
as separate device models.

Leuze electronic GmbH + Co. KG BCL 608 i 20
5 Reading techniques
5.1 Line scanner (single line)
A line (scan line) scans the label. Due to the opt. opening angle, the reading field width is dependent on
the read distance. Through the movement of the object, the entire bar code is automatically transported
through the scan line.
The integrated code reconstruction technology permits twisting of the bar code (tilt angle) within certain
limits. These are dependent on the transport speed, the scanning rate of the scanner and the bar code
properties.
Areas of application of the line scanner
The line scanner is used:
• When the bars of the bar code are printed in the conveying direction ('ladder arrangement').
• With bar codes having very short bar lengths.
• When the ladder code is turned out of the vertical position (tilt angle).
• When the reading distance is large.
Figure 5.1: Deflection principle for the line scanner
5.2 Line scanner with oscillating mirror
The oscillating mirror deflects the scan line additionally to both sides across the scan direction at a
randomly adjustable oscillation frequency. In this way, the device can also scan larger areas or spaces for
bar codes. The reading field height (and the scan line length useful for evaluation) depends on the reading
distance due to the optical opening angle of the oscillating mirror.
