Laser Safety

The Dual-Laser Omnidirectional In-Counter Scanner complies with safety standard IEC 60825 for a

Class I laser product. It also complies with CDRH as applicable to a Class IIa laser product. Avoid

long term staring into direct laser light.

Radiant Energy: The Advanced Dual-Laser Omnidirectional In-Counter Scanner uses two low-power

visible laser diodes operating at 650nm in an opto-mechanical scanner resulting in less than 3.9µW

radiated power as observed through a 7mm aperture and averaged over 10 seconds.

Do not attempt to remove the protective housing of the scanner, as unscanned laser light with a

peak output up to 0.8mW would be accessible inside.

Laser Light Viewing: The scan window is the only aperture through which laser light may be

observed from this product. A failure of the scanner motor, while the laser diode continues to emit

a laser beam, may cause emission levels to exceed those for safe operation. The scanner has

safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary laser beam is emitted, the failing

scanner should be disconnected from its power source immediately.

Adjustments: Do not attempt any adjustments or alteration of this product. Do not remove the

protective housing of the scanner. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Caution: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified

herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.

Optical: The use of optical instruments with this product will increase the eye hazard. Optical

instruments include binoculars, magnifying glasses, and microscopes but do not include normal eye

glasses worn by the user.

For CE-Countries

This scanner is in conformity with CE standards. Please note that an approved, CE-marked power

supply unit should be used in order to maintain CE conformance.

Dual-Laser Omnidirectional In-Counter Scanner

USER’S MANUAL

Introduction

The Dual-Laser Omnidirectional In-Counter Scanner is a powerful scanning solution

specially designed for high-traffic environments with limited space. It features dual-laser

technology that enables 32 scan lines to achieve enhanced speed and accuracy, but

manages to do so in a unit that measures significantly less in size than comparable

scanners.

With proprietary hardware decoding technology, this dual-laser scanner is able to decode

virtually every 1D barcode in existence with lightening-quick speed. The visual diagnostic

blue LED on the device provides immediate visual user feedback, increasing both

accuracy and productivity.

Key Features

Unique dual-laser technology

Field-replaceable scratch-resistant window

Instant “two-way object-fly-by” scan reaction

Visual diagnostic blue LED

Barcode stitching capable
