The effective aperture angle
α
amounts for the CLV 450 to a max. of 50
°
, for the CLV 451
to a max. of 55
°
at both scanning processes. Due to the V principle of the beam deflection
the reading field height (for evaluating the usable length of the scan line) depends on the
reading distance.
Angle position of the CLV
The optimum position of the CLV is reached when the scan line passes over the bar code
right-angled (90
°
) (
Fig. 4-5
). Possible reading angles which can occur between the scan line
and the bar code have to be taken into consideration (
Fig. 4-7
and
Table 4-1
).
