External Lighting
This section details the external lighting options for DataMan 50, 60, 503 and DataMan 300, 360, 370, and 470 series
readers.
DataMan 50 and 60 External Lighting
The DataMan 50 and 60 readers have a dedicated output for external light control. In addition, the DataMan 60 has an
external illumination connector on the front side of the reader.
You can control the intensity output of the external illumination connector if the external illumination you use supports
this control. In the DataMan Setup Tool, go to the Optimize Image pane and check the External checkbox. You can also
choose your light type from the drop-down box below. In the Optimize Image pane's Advanced tab, you can make
further external illumination settings.
DataMan 50 and 60 Illumination Strobe Output
The strobe output is provided by a diode that is added to the push-pull circuit, with series to the pull-up transistor. This
diode blocks the higher voltage when the output is pulled up when used as open-collector type driving, but enables the
driving of high level in TTL mode.
TTL output type characteristics
High level 4.0-5.0 V
Low level 0-0.4 V
Output current 25 mA
Short-circuit current 125 mA
Short-circuit protection multifuse – 50 mA
Open-collector output type characteristics
Output voltage range 0-26 V
Low level 0-0.4 V
Output current 25 mA max
Short-circuit current 125 mA
Short-circuit protection multifuse – 50 mA
The following figure shows the wiring diagram of the illumination strobe output.
