Chapter 1 Getting Started
Introduction
The NLS-FM510 series products are 1D linear barcode scanners for medical applications, mainly integrated into testing
instruments in laboratories, hospitals and assembly lines. It delivers fast and reliable reading of 1D printed barcodes on short-
distance test tubes or reagent bottles. The NLS-FM510 series includes NLS-FM510-V (lateral beam exit) and NLS-FM510-H
(front beam exit), distinguished by the direction of the beam exit.
Note: This guide provides general instructions for the installation. Fujian Newland Auto-ID Tech. Co., Ltd.
recommends an opto-mechanical engineer should conduct an opto-mechanical analysis before design.
Symbologies
The FM510 can easily read printed barcodes and on-screen barcodes, including:
1D
Code 128, EAN-8, EAN-13, EAN-13 Addendum, UPC-E, UPC-A, Interleaved 2/5, Code 39, Codabar, Code 93,
UCC/EAN-128

Chapter 2 Installation
Introduction
This chapter explains how to install the FM510, including general requirements, housing design, and physical and optical
information.
Caution: Do not touch the imaging lens when installing the scanner. Be careful not to leave fingerprints on the
lens.
Caution: Do not touch the illumination LED during handling. Improper handling may damage the LED.
Dimensions (unit: mm)
FM510-H: 62.5(W)×50.5(D)×21.5(H) (max.)

ESD
ESD protection has been taken into account when designing the FM510. However, due to limited board space, additional
ESD protection, such as TVS protection, is not provided on the scanner’s I/O interface. It is advised to take corresponding
protection measures when integrating the scanner.
The scanner is shipped in ESD safe packaging. Always exercise care when handling the scanner outside its package. Be
sure grounding wrist straps and properly grounded work areas are used.
Dust and Dirt
The FM510 must be sufficiently enclosed to prevent dust particles from gathering on the lens and circuit board. Dust and
other external contaminants will eventually degrade the scanner’s performance.
Ambient Environment
The following environmental requirements should be met to ensure good performance of the FM510.
