3 Installation Instructions
3.1 Handling
Proper 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 correctly
installed. However, it is also a precision product and before and during installation it must be handled properly to avoid
damage.
•
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 damage
3.2 Mount the Reader
Note: 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.

2. 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 a
precise reading distance.
• If this distance is compatible with your application, or if you have a Liquid Lens Autofocus model, you can
use 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 software
setup procedure described in the Instruction Manual. See
Advanced Setup for Manual Adjustable Focus
Models
on page 46.
