SCANNER OVERVIEW After scanning a barcode, the scanner returns feedback signals: haptically by vibrations, acoustically by audio signals and optically by LEDs.
TECHNICAL DATA - LEO MECHANICAL PROPERTIES: BARCODE TYPES - 1D: Dimensions: 1.47 x 1.77 x 0.67 in (50 x 45 x 17 mm) Auto decodes all standard 1D codes including GS1 DataBar linear codes et al. Weight: 1.
CONNECTIVITY DEVICE OVERVIEW GATEWAY The Gateway receives the scanned barcode data from the scanner via BLE. This barcode data is transmitted to the end device via USB cable. In the USB HID mode, the Gateway simulates a computer keyboard. A serial connection is emulated in the USB CDC mode. In order to use the USB CDC mode, the device must be set to “USB CDC” in the ProGlove Insight Configuration Tool (https://insight.proglove.com/) under “Connectivity Configuration - Integration path”.
TECHNICAL DATA GATEWAY MECHANICAL PROPERTIES: Dimensions: 3.74 x 2.06 x 0.94 in (95 x 52,3 x 23,8 mm) Weight: 1.50 oz (42,5 g) ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES: Power supply of Access Point via USB cable: 5 VDC (0.5A) (via host computer) UTILITIES & ACCESSORIES: ProGlove Configuration Tool: https://insight.proglove.com/ Use for barcode, interface, device configuration et al.
CHARGING STATION S OVERVIEW TECHNICAL DATA The Charging Station S consists of two charging trays that charge two scanners at the same time. The charging status is indicated by the LEDs of the scanner. The LEDs pulse red while in charging mode. When the battery is fully charged, the LEDs pulse green constantly. The Charging Station S can be attached to work stations, for example, through the attachment openings (with M5 MECHANICAL PROPERTIES: screws or cable ties). Dimensions: 5.5 x 2.2 x 0.
10-SLOT CHARGING STATION OVERVIEW TECHNICAL DATA The 10-Slot Charging Station provides multiple options to mount to flat surfaces, workstations and racks. The charging status is indicated by the LEDs of the scanner. The LEDs pulse red while in charging mode. When the battery is fully charged, the LEDs pulse green constantly.
WEARABLES HAND STRAP PROPERTIES The ProGlove Hand Strap offers an elastic, adjustable Velcro closure that ensures an optimal fit for any user's hand size and shape. It can be worn with or without other gloves underneath. The trigger is located on the side of the index finger and is activated with the thumb. The Hand Strap is a consumable that must be replaced regularly after use.
WEARABLES INDEX TRIGGER PROPERTIES The ProGlove Index Trigger offers hand size optimized variants and can be wrapped around the hand in one movement. The thumb hole fixes the wrap in the correct position and the flexible Velcro mechanism allows it to be securely fastened to the user's hand. It can be worn with or without other gloves underneath. The trigger is located on the side of the index finger and is activated with the thumb.
WEARABLES REEL PROPERTIES The ProGlove Reel can be attached with the black, rotating fastening clip to the desired spot. This can be, for example, on the user's clothing or on a belt. Alternatively, the Reel can also be worn on a lanyard around the neck. The trigger is located on the bottom of the Reel and is activated by pressing it. The cord between the mounting clip and the scanner holder is 27 in (70 cm) long and retractable.
