3 Installation Instructions3.1 HandlingProper handling ensures that the ABR will function correctly.The ABR is designed for use in an industrial environment. It is built to withstand vibration and shock when correctlyinstalled. However, it is also a precision product and before and during installation it must be handled properly to avoiddamage.• Do not drop the device (exceeding shock limits)• Do not fine tune the positioning by striking the device or the bracket• Do not weld the device into position; this can cause electrostatic, heat, or reading window damage• Do not spray paint near the reader; this can cause reading window damage3.2 Mount the ReaderNote: Mount the device at a 10° to 15° angle from the target to avoid direct reflections.1. Rotate the connector block to the desired angle.Connector blockrotates to 90˚ positionFigure 7. Connector Block2. If a bracket is needed, mount the device onto the bracket.3. Select a reading distance.The ABR 7000 manual adjustable focus models and Liquid Lens Autofocus models are both factory focused to aprecise reading distance.• If this distance is compatible with your application, or if you have a Liquid Lens Autofocus model, you canuse the Smart Teach Interface to install the reader.• If this distance is not compatible with your application and you have a manual focus model, use the softwaresetup procedure described in the Instruction Manual.
