CBX ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 
 
CAUTION:  When  Outputs  1  and  2  are  connected  through  the  CBX 
connection box, they become opto-isolated and polarity sensitive and acquire 
the  electrical  characteristics  listed  below.  To  function  correctly,  they  require 
setting  the  Output  Line  Type  configuration  parameters  to  NPN  for  the 
respective output. The hardware connection to the CBX can be either NPN or 
PNP. 
 
Three general purpose outputs are available and their meaning can be defined by the user. 
They are typically  used either to signal  the data collection result or to control an external 
lighting system. 
 
Output 1 + opto-isolated and polarity sensitive 
Output 1 - opto-isolated and polarity sensitive 
Output 2 + opto-isolated and polarity sensitive 
Output 2 - opto-isolated and polarity sensitive 
Output 3 non opto-isolated (only available on CBX500) 
 
The electrical features of the outputs are the following: 
 
Reverse-Polarity and Short-Circuit Protected 
I
CE
 = 40 mA continuous max.; 130 mA pulsed max. 
V
OUT
 (I
LOAD
 = 0 mA) max = 30 Vdc 
V
CE saturation
 = 1 Vdc max. @ 10 mA 
V
OUT
 (I
LOAD
 = 100 mA) max = 3 Vdc 
P
D
 = 90 mW Max. @ 50 °C ambient temp. 
 
 
By default, Output 1 is associated with the No Read event, which activates when the code(s) 
signaled by the external trigger are not decoded, and Output 2 is associated with the Good 
Read event, which activates when all the selected codes are correctly decoded. 
 
The  output  signals  are  fully  programmable  being  determined  by  the  configured 
Activation/Deactivation events, Deactivation Timeout or a combination of the two. Refer to 
the DL.CODE parameters Help On Line for further details.
