The AtomScan scanner is totally enclosed. It can tolerate light dust. However
it is not designed for use in harsh environments such as wash-down. If your
environment is harsh, consider using the NEMA Type 4 enclosed
2755-LD4x4 or 2755-LD8x4, where x is the focus code, A, B, C, or D.

your application. The most important factors to consider in mounting the
scanner are:
make sure the bar code symbol passes within the scanners reading range
