SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
LASER SAFETY
The following information is provided to comply with the rules imposed by
international regulatory agencies and refers to the correct use of the LazerData®
11000 Series Bar Code Scanner.
Standard Regulations
This scanner utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring directly at the laser
beam momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring at the beam
as one would with any very strong light source, such as the sun. Prevent the laser
beam from hitting the eye of any observer, even when the beam is reflected from
surfaces such as mirrors, etc.
This product conforms to the applicable requirements of both IEC 825-1 and CDRH
21 CFR 1040 at the date of manufacture. The scanner is classified as a Class 2 laser
product according to IEC 825-1 regulations and as a Class II laser product
according to CDRH regulations.
There is a safety device that allows the laser to be switched on only if the motor is
rotating above the threshold of its correct scanning speed.
The laser beam can be switched off with a software command (see also “Beam
Shutter” in the LDHOST Help Online).

vii
WARNING
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in exposure to
hazardous visible laser light.
The laser light is visible to the human eye and is emitted from the window on the
front of the scanner (Figure A.,
i
).
Warning labels (Figure B.) indicating exposure to laser light and the device
classification are applied onto the body of the scanner (Figure A.,
g
).

1 GENERAL FEATURES
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The LazerData®11000 Series Bar Code Scanner is a bar code reader complete with
decoder, available in several standard models. These were designed to satisfy
demanding requirements associated with high performance scanning.
C Programmability
The LazerData 11000 Scanner belongs to the generation of PSC Automation
scanners that operate under the 'C' programming environment, a recognized
industry standard.
Standard Application Program
A standard application program is factory-loaded onto the scanner. This program
controls bar code reading, serial port interfacing, data formatting, and many other
operating and control parameters.
It is completely configurable from a host computer through the LDHOST utility
program provided on diskette with the scanner, or through ESC sequences via the
serial interface.
Custom Application Programs
If the Standard Application Program doesn’t meet your requirements, please
contact your local PSC Automation, Inc. distributor.

1.2 - General Features
1.2 DESCRIPTION
Some of the main features of the LazerData®11000 Scanner are —
•small size
•scanning speed of up to 600 scans/s
•raster version availability
•serial communication interfaces (one or two)
•readability of all popular codes
•supply voltage range from 10 to 30 VDC
•test mode — for verification of reading features and exact scanner positioning
without need for external tools
•programmability in four different operating modes — to suit the most varied bar
code reading system requirements
•low power consumption
The scanner uses a solid-state laser diode as a light source. The light emitted has a
wavelength between 630 and 680 nm. Refer to the section “Safety Precautions” at
the beginning of this manual for information on laser safety.
With an IP65 protection class enclosure, the reader is suitable for industrial
environments where high protection against harsh external conditions is required.
The four LEDs on the side of the scanner indicate the following:
PWR/TXD (red) (Figure A.,
c
) indicates the reader is connected to the power
supply or, when blinking (green), data transmission.
GOOD READ (red) (Figure A.,
e
) signals possible, successful bar code reading.
EXT TRIG (yellow) (Figure A.,
d
) indicates the code presence sensor is
active.
LASER ON (green) (Figure A.,
f
) indicates laser ON state.
The screw holes on the body of the reader are for mechanical fixture (Figure
A.,
j
).

2.6 - Installation
2.4.2 Main serial interface
The signals relative to the following serial interface types are available on the
input/output connector of the scanner depending on the scanner model (see
section 1.3).
If the interface type is not compatible with the current communication
handshaking, then the system forces the XON/XOFF protocol.
The parameters relative to the interface selected (baud rate, data bits, etc.) can be
defined using the LDHOST utility program or "Host Mode" programming provided
on diskette.
Details regarding the connections and use of the interfaces are given in the next
sections.
RS232 interface
The serial interface is used in this case for point-to-point connections; it handles
communication with the host computer and allows both transmission of code data
and the programming of the scanner. This is the default setting.
The following pins are used for RS232 interface connection:
9-Pin 25-Pin Name Function
2 2 TX232 Transmitted Data
3 3 RX232 Received Data

Figure 2.7 - RS232 control signals
The RTS232 and CTS232 signals control data transmission and synchronize the
connected devices.
If the RTS/CTS handshaking protocol is enabled, the scanner activates the RTS232
output to indicate a message is to be transmitted. The receiving unit activates the
CTS232 input to enable the transmission.
