STEP 1 – CONNECT THE SYSTEM 
 
To connect the system in a Stand Alone configuration, you need the hardware indicated in Figure 1. In this layout 
the data is transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface. In Local Echo communication mode, the RS232 
auxiliary interface can be used to transmit data independently from the main interface selection. When On-Line 
Operating mode is used, the scanner is activated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object 
enters its reading zone.

CAUTION 
Do not connect GND, SGND and REF to different (external) ground references. GND, SGND 
and REF are internally connected through filtering circuitry which can be permanently 
damaged if subjected to voltage drops over 0.8 Vdc.
