GENERAL FEATURES 11 INTRODUCTION1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONThe DS1100 scanner with decoder offers the best cost-effective solution fordemanding industrial applications.The DS1100 ultra compact dimensions, based on Datalogic experience inminiaturized laser components, have been specifically designed to make thescanner's integration into automated equipment extremely easy.The Windows-based user-friendly WinHost utility program provided on CD-ROMsimplifies the scanner’s setup. The DS1100 can also be configured from a Host PCthrough the Host Mode procedure.Some of the main features of DS1100 are listed below:• miniaturized dimensions, light weight;• scanning speed: 500 scans/sec;• raster version available;• motor and the laser beam can be switched off through a software command (seealso «Beam Shutter» in the WinHost Help On Line).• 2 serial communication interfaces: RS232 + RS485;• reads all popular codes;• supply voltage: 5 Vdc ( 4 to 30 Vdc with converter);• test mode to verify the reading features and exact positioning of the scannerwithout the need for external tools;• programmable in 4 different operating modes to suit the most various barcodereading system requirements;• code verifier;• programmable input and output signals;• light source: visible laser diode; the light emitted has a wavelength in the range630 ∼ 680 nm. For laser safety precautions refer to the “Safety Precautions”section at the beginning of this manual;• low power consumption;• IP65 protection class of the enclosure; the reader is therefore suitable forindustrial environments where high protection against harsh external conditionsis required;1
