DS8110 Barcode Scanner
Photoelectric Sensor
The optional Datalogic Photoelectric Sensor is used in DS8110 barcode scanner
systems to detect the presence of an item in the scanning area.
The photoelectric sensor is used in singulated systems where the packages are
separate
d by an open space between the trailing edge of one package and the
leading edge of the next. The photoelectric sensor, along with the encoder,
enables a programmable transmit point at a defined distance from the sensor.
Without the photoelectric sensor, the barcode scanner can be run in continuous
mode.
See Modify Settings | Global Settings | Operating Mode.
Depending on the application, these devices may need to be configured differ-
ently. While the photoelectric sensor and tachometer work well with belt convey-
ors, a special configuration is needed for tilt-tray and cross-belt sorter
applications.
See section for wiring options.
