Functions
Table 6: Function overview
Function Description
Test (read diagnostics) Percentage analysis: The product records a series of images and uses
the current reading performance settings to decode them. With the
0 ... 100% bar graph, the product shows the read rate of the last 10%
(90% to 100%).
The bar graph display is activated in standard read mode.
Teach Teaching in a match code: the product reads the code that is presented
and saves the code permanently as a target code for future code
comparisons during read mode. For Pharmacodes, the Code type & code
length function must first be defined in SOPAS ET.
Setup The product adjusts itself automatically to suit the lighting conditions,
working distance, and quality of the code presented.

5 Mounting
5.1 Mounting instructions
•Observe the technical data.
•Protect the sensor from direct and indirect sunlight.
•To prevent condensation, avoid exposing the device to rapid changes in tempera‐
ture.
•The mounting site has to be designed for the weight of the device.
•Mount the product in a shock and vibration insulated manner.
•Ensure a good dissipation of excess heat from the device to the surroundings, in
particular at higher ambient temperatures. Good heat transfer from the device can
be achieved, for example, by using a bracket on the mounting base or by ensuring
that the back of the device is located at a sufficient distance from the wall of an
enclosure.
•Make sure the device has a clear view of the codes.
5.2 Mounting location
5.2.1 Work area
Working range
Depending on the product type, the working range is between 50mm and 2,200mm.
Working distance and field of view size
The field of view size is determined by the focus position, the focal length of the lens,
and the working distance. The necessary working distance can be determined from the
field of view diagram, see "Field of view diagrams", page 63.
5.2.2 Mounting angle and reflection prevention
In order to avoid reflections from the surfaces to be scanned, mount the product so
that it is tilted from the perpendicular to the surface.
typically 10°... 20°
Figure 4: Mounting angle to use, depending on the application
1Typical angle 10° ... 20°
Depending on the application, an angle of 0° (brightfield illumination) or up to 45°
(darkfield illumination) is appropriate.
