2 Laser Safety Conditions:
Users of EX-Dragon-D101 handscanners must follow the respective safety regulations in conjunction with
local specific regulations. General safety regulations are listed in the following paragraphs:
even though the level of energy is very low, the laser used in the EX-Dragon-D101 can damage the human
eye provided it is exposed to the laser beam over a longer period of time.
Warning
Never directly look into the reading window (laser
beam) of a handscanner while the device is active.
A laser diode is used in the handscanner. Even though no biological effects are known that may be caused
while looking into the laser beam for less than one minute, do not look into the laser beam directly. Also do
not look into the reflection of the laser beam (mirror).
The laser beam can be viewed by the human eye and exits the reading window of the handscanner.
A warning label is attached to the handscanner describing the laser and laser category. The EX-Dragon-
D101 device is a class 2 laser (according to IEC 825).
It is not necessary to open the handscanner for installation, application or maintenance. In addition only
settings or actions described in this handbook may be carried out on the scanner.
When optical parts of the laser have been damaged rays of a higher intensity than class 3B may exit the
device. The laser diode of the EX-Dragon-D101 is classified as 3B.
Labels cannot be attached to a laser diode. Hence the respective values are listed below:
Laser diode:
Maximum output 1,4 mW
Wave length 630 - 680 nm
according to IEC 825 (1990)

4 Operation
4.1 Preparing the Hardware
This description for initial operation refers to those issues that must be considered with respect to the EX-
DRAGON-D101. Information with respect to operation of the ENT-DC and the Host system can be found in
the appropriate handbook.
For operation proceed as follows:
•Switch off system or machine.
•Make sure that the assembly area is non-hazardous during the initial operation in case voltages are wired
or devices will be opened that are not intrinsically safe.
•Connect the EX-DRAGON-D101 to power supply.
•Configure the scanner EX-DRAGON-D101
•Supply the system with 24 V DC
•Switch on system or machine
•Check function of the entire system or machine respectively.
Warning
In case the EX-DRAGON-D101 has not been
connected or configured correctly, malfunctioning of
your system / maschine is possible.
4.2 Special conditions for apparatus, category 3D (in zone 22)
The housing is a direct component of the explosion protection. A visible damage of the housing waives the
explosion prevention.
The maintenance plan of the plant should supervise that the housings of the products are not damaged.
The housing fulfills the requirements of the standard with low impact energy.
The plug connector to Dragon-D101-10 must be provided on the socket side with a sign:
„Do not seperate under tension!”
Warning
In ex-area (zone 22) plug the connector with
disconnected power!

5 Ex Scanner EX-DRAGON-D101
The Ex scanner EX-DRAGON-D101 can be used in hazardous areas Zone 1, Zone 2 and type -3D in
Zone 22. The scanner is able to read all standard code families. After a successful read a beep to indicate a
good read is send out for easy working.

5.2 EX-DRAGON-D101 Laser Scanners
EX-DRAGON-D101 LASER SCANNERS are hand-held barcode readers with built-in decoder and radio.
The scanning system of the reader uses visible laser diode (VLD) technology and the high quality of internal
parts guarantees constant reliability and superior performance.
5.2.1 Description And Use
EX-DRAGON-D101 laser scanners automatically scan barcodes at a distance; simply aim and pull the
trigger. Code scanning is performed along the scan line which must pass through the entire code.
OK NO
Figure 5.1 - Code reading example
Successful scanning is obtained by tilting the scanner with respect to the barcode to avoid direct reflections
which impair the reading performance, see Figure 1.2.
OK Not Advised
Figure 5.2 - Code reading position
Adapt the reading distance to the code features and operating needs.
Note
During configuration keep the scanner close enough to
the codes to assure the selection of the correct code.
