4.4 System requirements
General system requirements are derived from the bar code scanner's technical data (see
chapter 10 Technical data, page 77).
The requirements and conditions for Installation, Electrical installation and Startup and
configuration are summarised in the respective chapters.
4.5 Product features and functions (overview)
CLV63x Bar Code Scanner • Fixed focus
• Line scanner / raster scanner / line scanner with oscillating mirror
• Reading window on front / side
• Large reading area (depending on version)
• High resolution (depending on version)
• High scan frequency
• Can be adapted to the print quality of the code
• Evaluation area of the scanning line can be restricted
User safety and convenience
• Robust, compact metal housing, CE mark
• Laser class 2, laser switches off if the output capacity is exceeded
• Automatic self-test on system startup
• Diagnosis tools for system setup and system (remote) monitoring
• Configurable reading diagnosis data display in two reading result formats
• Operational data retrieval, error code display on request in case of errors
• Activatable test string function (heartbeat) for signalling readiness for operation
• Password protected configuration mode
• Configured parameter values (cloning) can be additionally secured on a Micro SD
memory card (can be removed in the case of bar code scanner replacement )

• Future-proof SOPAS-ET configuration software
• Low current consumption
• Extended power supply range
Convenient operation/configuration
• Configuration (online/offline) using the SOPAS-ET configuration software (incl. help
system)
• 2 buttons on the device for calling up preset functions without connecting a PC
• Status indicators via five LEDs
• Beeper that can be switched off to confirm device functioning
Reading operation modi
• Start/Stop operation
Reading pulse
• Pulse sources for start: switching inputs; data interface (command); automatic cycle;
CAN
• Pulse sources for stop: reading pulse source, switching inputs, command, timer, con-
dition
Bar code evaluation
• All common bar code types
• Max. number of bar codes: 50 per reading pulse
• Separation of identical codes of the same code type using the reading angle
