Warning and Caution Summary
Warning and Caution Summary
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver;
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected;
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
For connection to a UL-listed direct plug-in power unit marked Class II and rated 10 to 28 VDC at 5
watts or greater.
European models must use a similarly rated Class I or Class II power supply that is certified to
comply with standard for safety EN 60950.
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
There are no user-serviceable parts in the scanner. Opening the scanner voids the Omron Microscan
Systems, Inc. warranty and could expose the user to laser diode power of up to 7mW.
The laser beam can be harmful to eyesight. Avoid eye contact with the laser beam. Never point the
beam at other people, or in a direction where people may be passing.
CAUTION: LASER RADIATION - DO NOT STARE INTO BEAM - CLASS 2 LASER PRODUCT;
655nm, 1.75mW, 40~186µS.
DANGER: (Invisible) Laser Radiation when open (and interlock defeated). AVOID DIRECT
EXPOSURE TO BEAM.

Omron Microscan offers a standard straight-through (un-crossed) Ethernet cordset
(61-000160-01 or -02).
Important: Do not attempt to power more than four scanners with a single power supply
in a daisy chain configuration. Add a QX-1 and one power supply for every four
additional scanners in the daisy chain.

Step 2 — Connect the System
Important: If you are connecting Ultra-Lock cordsets to the QX-830 and QX-1, align the
pins first and then push the connector into place. Do not twist the connectors, as this will
bend the pins.
Important: Do not attempt to power more than four scanners with a single power supply in
a daisy chain configuration. Add a QX-1 and one power supply for every four additional
scanner in the daisy chain.
Note: The configuration instructions below are for simple, direct connections to an RS-232
or Ethernet host. The QX-1 can be added to RS-232 or Ethernet configurations in which
greater flexibility and complexity are required. The first diagram in Step 1 shows a standalone
configuration that includes the QX-1.
RS-232 Standalone (without QX-1)
• Connect the Serial Communication Cable from “B” on the QX-830 to the host.
• Connect the power supply to “A” on the QX-830.
• Plug in the power supply.
Ethernet Standalone (without QX-1)
Important: Configure Ethernet-enabled readers off-line and then connect to network when
ready for dynamic use.
Note: The QX-830 does not require an Ethernet crossover cordset, because the scanner
itself performs automatic internal crossover (transmit-to-receive switching). Omron Microscan
offers a standard straight-through (un-crossed) Ethernet cordset (61-000160-01 or -02).
• Connect the Ethernet Communication Cable from “B” on the QX-830 to the host network.
• Connect the power supply to “A” on the QX-830.
• Plug in the power supply.
