Read all information in the section "Safety Precautions” at the beginning of this manual. Correctly position and mount the scanner for barcode reading according to the information in par. 2.2, 2.4 and 3.4. Provide correct system cabling according to the signals necessary (see all applicable sub-paragraphs under 2.3).
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The DS2200 scanner is a cost effective barcode reader complete with decoder designed to satisfy demanding requirements associated with high performance scanning. The DS2200 ultra compact dimensions, based on Datalogic's experience in miniaturized laser components, make the scanner's integration into automated equipment extremely easy.

INSTALLATION PACKAGE CONTENTS Verify that the DS2200 reader and all the parts supplied with the equipment are present and intact when opening the packaging; the list of parts includes: • DS2200 reader with cable • Installation Manual • Bar code test chart (PCS = 0.9) •...
INSTALLATION MECHANICAL INSTALLATION DS2200 can be installed to operate in any position. There are three screw holes (M2.5 x 5) on the body of the reader for mounting. The diagram below gives all the information required for installation; refer to par. 2.4 for correct positioning of the scanner with respect to the code passage zone.
DS2200 2.2.1 Mounting DS2200 Using the DS2200 mounting bracket you can obtain the most suitable position for the reader as shown in the figure below: Pitch Skew...
INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The DS2200 cable is equipped with a 25-pin female D-sub connector for connection with the power supply and input/output signals: Do not connect GND and SGND to different (external) ground references. GND and SGND are internally connected through filtering circuitry which can be permanently damaged if subjected to voltage drops over 0.8 Vdc.
2.3.1 Power Supply The following pins of the DS2200 connector are used: DS2200 CHASSIS The power must be 5 Vdc only. 2.3.2 Main Serial Interface - RS485 Half-Duplex The RS485 half-duplex interface (3 wires + shield) is used for polled communication protocols.
DS2200 (up to 31) DS2200 DS2200 MULTIPLEXER Figure 6 - DS2200 Multidrop connection to a Multiplexer 2.3.3 Auxiliary Interface - RS232 The auxiliary serial interface is used exclusively for RS232 point-to-point connections. It is also used for configuring the DS2200.
EXT TRIG- I/O REF The EXT TRIG input is used to connect the external trigger which tells the scanner to scan for a code. The active state of this input is selected in software. Refer to the WinHost Help On Line.
These outputs are both level or pulse configurable. POSITIONING The DS2200 scanner is able to decode barcode labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distortion may degrade reading performance. When mounting the DS2200 take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Pitch 0°, Skew 15°...
Page 24
The Skew angle is represented by the value S in Figure 11. Position the reader to assure about 15° for the Skew angle. This avoids the direct reflection of the laser light emitted by the DS2200. For the raster version, this angle refers to the most inclined or external raster line, so that all other raster lines assure more than 15°...
In this layout data is transmitted to the Host on the RS232 Auxiliary serial interface. The Local Echo communication mode must be enabled (default) see the WinHost Help On Line. When On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone. DS2200 2.5.2...
Page 26
The Master scanner is also connected to the Host on the RS232 auxiliary serial interface. The External Trigger signal is unique to the system; there is a single reading phase and a single message from the Master scanner to the Host computer.
MX4000 The auxiliary serial interface can be used in Local Echo mode to control any single scanner (visualize collected data) or to configure it using the WinHost utility or Host Mode programming procedure. When On-Line Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.
READING FEATURES The number of scans performed on the code by the DS2200 and therefore the decoding capability is influenced by the following parameters: • number of scans per second • code motion speed • label dimensions • scan direction with respect to code motion At least 5 scans during the code passage should be allowed to ensure a successful read.
READING FEATURES For example, the DS2200 (500 scans/sec.) for a 25 mm high code moving at 500 mm/s performs: PICKET-FENCE MODE DS2200 Figure 17 - "Picket Fence" scanning mode If scanning is parallel to the code motion, (Figure 17), the number of effective scans...
PERFORMANCE The DS2200 scanner is available in different versions according to the reading performance. Version 1XXX 2XXX Version 1XXX 50 mm (2.0 in) - 220 mm (8.7 in) on 0.60 mm (24 mils) codes 2XXX 40 mm (1.6 in) - 125 mm (4.9 in) on 0.20 mm (8 mils) codes Refer to the diagrams given in par.

Repeat the operation frequently in particularly dirty environments. Use soft material and alcohol to clean the windows and avoid any abrasive substances. Clean the windows of the DS2200 when the scanner is turned off or, at least, when the laser beam is deactivated. WARNING...
