34 BCL 8 Leuze electronic
Notice!
With front beam exit, the beam exit on the BCL 8 is nearly vertical to the reading window;
with lateral beam exit, the beam exit is at 15° from vertical. The bar code label must be ro-
tated by > 10° to avoid a total reflection of the laser beam in the case of glossy labels.

Mounting location
When selecting a mounting location, pay attention to
• maintaining the required environmental conditions (temperature, humidity).
• possible soiling of the reading window due to liquids, abrasion by boxes, or packaging
material residues.
• lowest possible chance of damage to the scanner by mechanical collision or jammed
parts.
• possible extraneous light influence (no direct sunlight).
α = azimuth angle
β = angle of inclination
γ = angle of rotation
Recommended angle of rotation:
γ > 10°
