Installation must be by qualified personnel only.
Other modulus sizes beyond those specified may work, based on application needs
✅ Check power supply: Ensure DC supply is between 18–30 V.
✅ Verify wiring on M12 A-coded 12-pin connector (Connection 1):
Pin 7 (VIN) = Black wire
Pin 8 (GND) = Gray wire
✅ Inspect for loose connections or damaged cables.
✅ Check power consumption (max 24 W at 24 V DC).
✅ Ensure code types are supported (1D/2D including QR, Data Matrix, PDF417, etc.).
✅ Check modulus size of the code: supported range is 0.127 – 0.5 mm.
✅ Verify code is within reading distance: 50 mm to 2000 mm.
✅ Clean the lens and ensure no obstruction.
✅ Try both red and white illumination modes (switchable internally).
✅ Check if Vision Studio configuration is correct.
✅ Adjust focus manually (ADJ = Adjustable model).
✅ Verify correct focal length (8 mm) and diaphragm (f/4.0).
✅ Confirm the camera resolution is 1440 × 1080 px.
✅ Use proper lens accessories (e.g., 50148541 lens for specific ranges).
✅ Check digital outputs (OUT0 to OUT4) for signal:
Max current: 100 mA
High signal: ≥ (UB - 2V), Low: ≤ 2 V
✅ Inspect MOSFET switching integrity (Push-pull type).
✅ Make sure output pins (e.g., pin 3, 4, 11, 12) are correctly wired.
✅ Use correct M12 X-coded 8-pin female connector (Connection 2).
✅ Check pin assignments (e.g., LAN A+/A-, B+/B-, etc.).
✅ Confirm Ethernet settings:
DHCP or manual IP
10/100 Mbit/s supported
✅ Make sure TCP/IP, UDP, Telnet, FTP/SFTP, or PROFINET protocol is properly configured.
✅ For PROFINET:
Verify Conformance Class B
Ensure PROFINET RT settings are active
✅ Check status of 3 built-in LEDs:
Green = Operation
Yellow = LAN
Yellow = Trigger
✅ Verify correct I/O signals triggering the device.
✅ Operate within 0°C to 50°C (storage: -20°C to 70°C).
✅ Avoid high humidity beyond 90% non-condensing.
✅ Ensure IP67 sealing is intact with proper caps/connectors.
✅ Ensure correct Ethernet port and address settings.
✅ Confirm the reader is powered and connected.
✅ Try scanning network for devices.
✅ Check firmware compatibility and update if needed.
✅ Confirm pin 10 (Trigger IN - Violet) is correctly connected.
✅ Test trigger signal voltage (DC) and timing.
✅ Try software/manual trigger via Vision Studio.
✅ Use optional mounting brackets (BT 300 W, BTK IVS 1048).
✅ Verify alignment to code target – ensure lens is directly facing code.
✅ Adjust reader angle and distance according to working range.
