3 Introduction The barcode scanner BCSi are designed to read all common barcodes 1D & 2D and to transmit these barcode data to an existing ASD (application supporting device) in hazardous or non-hazardous areas. The BCSi is freely positionable in front of the barcode. A interactive vibration feedback after a successful scan is offered by the BCSi (an advantage for loud environments). There are bi-focus positions for capturing of max. focus-decoding area. The scanner provides exceptional depth of field on all bar code densities. The BCSi provides built-in illumination which allows work in any ambient lighting condition from total darkness to bright sunlight. A wide selection of parameters may be configured to adapt the BCSi settings for your particular application. The BCSi available as cable and as radio frequency version. The cable scanner version has an intrinsically safe interface for power and data. The data transmission is realized via a serial interface. The cable version is available for low-power and high-power intrinsically safe power interfaces. The radio frequency version has an intrinsically safe interface for charging of internal batteries in hazardous areas via intrinsically safe interfaces, such as for instance ExMod The data transmission is realized via a radio frequency interface (Bluetooth). The radio frequency version is available with integrated 10mW and 100mW Bluetooth modules. The radio frequency version disable the scanengine when charging is in process. All versions of the BCSi developed for use in hazardous areas Zone 0, Zone 20, EPL Ga and EPL Da. MANUAL BCSI-1 REV 1.8 EN.DOC A.J

4 BCSi-1 * models available Various models of BCSi-1 * can be supplied: -1 = C LP : Cable barcode scanner Low Power. Barcode scanner with cable connection and low intrinsically safe input power at the power line. The connection interface to the other existing application supporting devices is realized via serial intrinsically safe interface. This variant is developed with internal energybuffer to provide the necessary power for the scanner electronic (duty cycle typ. 5%). A pre-charging of typ. 16h for this internal buffer is necessary before first operation. C HP : Cable barcode scanner High Power. Barcode scanner with cable connection and high intrinsically safe input power at the power line. The connection interface to the other existing application supporting devices is via serial intrinsically safe interface. RF 10 : Radio frequency scanner (Bluetooth) Barcode scanner with data transmission by radio frequency with typ. radiated power of 10mW. This variant is developed with integrated Bluetooth module (Class 2) to transmit data to other existing application supporting devices. For charging of this cordless barcode scanner a intrinsically safe interface required (e.g. ExMod-1-2-3). RF 100: Radio frequency scanner (Bluetooth) Barcode scanner with data transmission by radio frequency with typ. radiated power of 100mW. This variant is developed with integrated Bluetooth module (Class 1) to transmit data to other existing application supporting devices. For charging of this cordless barcode scanner a intrinsically safe interface required (e.g. ExMod-1-2-3). * : Can be any alphanumeric characters reserved for the manufacturer. Example: BCSi-RF100 = Radio frequency scanner (Bluetooth) with 100mW radiated power (Class 1). For more details please refer to the attached drawings Nr. # and # MANUAL BCSI-1 REV 1.8 EN.DOC A.J

Changes/adjustments are under owner s responsibility. Set Default Parameter Scan this bar code to return all parameters to the default values Set all default Focus Mode Select the Focus Mode to control the working range of the BCSi. If Far Focus is selected, the BCSi is optimized to read at its far position. With Near Focus, the BCSi is optimized to read at its near position.

18 Decoding Illumination Selecting Enable Illumination causes the decoder to flash illumination on every image capture to aid decoding. Select Disable Illumination to prevent the decoder from using decoding illumination. Enabling illumination usually results in superior images. The effectiveness of the illumination decreases as the distance to the target increases. * Enable Decoding Illumination Disable Decoding Illunmination Decode Aiming Pattern This parameter only applies when in Decode Mode. Select Enable Decode Aiming A Pattern to project the aiming pattern during bar code capture, or Disable Decode Aiming Pattern to turn the aiming pattern off. * Enable Decode Aiming Pattern Disable Decode Aiming Pattern MANUAL BCSI-1 REV 1.8 EN.DOC A.J

19 Prefix/Suffix Values A prefix and/or one or two suffixes can be appended to scan data for use in data editing. To set a value for a prefix or suffix, scan a prefix or suffix bar code below, then scan a four-digit number (i.e., four bar codes from Appendix A, A Numeric Bar Codes) that corresponds to that value. See Table ASCII Value Table for the four-digit codes. To correct an error or change a selection, scan Cancel from Appendix A. To use Prefix/Suffix values, first set the Scan Data Transmission Format below. Scan Prefeix Scan Suffix 1 Scan Suffix 2 Scan Data Transmission Format To change the scan data format, scan one of the following eight bar codes corresponding to the desired format. If using this parameter do not use ADF rules to set the prefix/suffix.

31 Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 13+2). Six options are available. If Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Only With Supplementals is selected, UPC/EAN/JAN symbols without supplementals are not decoded. If Ignore Supplementals is selected, and the decoder is presented with a UPC/EAN/JAN with a supplemental, the UPC/EAN/JAN is decoded and the supplemental bar code is ignored. An Autodiscriminate Option is also available. If this option is selected, choose an appropriate UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy value from the next page. A value of 5 or more is recommended. Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes starting with a 378 or 379 prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN/JAN bar codes are exempt from the search and are reported instantly upon decode. Select Enable 978 Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes starting with a 978 prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN/JAN bar codes are exempt from the search and are reported instantly upon decode. Select Enable Smart Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes starting with a 378, 379, or 978 prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN/JAN bar codes are exempt from the search and are reported instantly upon decode. To minimize the risk of invalid data transmission, select either to decode or ignore supplemental characters.
