What to do if SICK CLV 480 Barcode Reader cannot be clocked via serial interface?
- R
  Rebecca GomezAug 2, 2025
  If the SICK Barcode Reader cannot be clocked via the serial interface, and the "Sensor" LED and red scan line do not appear, verify that the reading trigger source is set to "serial interface" in the "CLV-Setup" program under the DEVICE CONFIGURATION tab, READING TRIGGER SOURCE section. Ensure you are using the correct commands for triggering, such as 21 for start and 22 for stop, or any defined single characters. Also, check the data connection to the host to confirm the CLV is receiving command strings to initiate the reading interval.

What to do if the SICK CLV 480 "Read Result" LED doesn't light up?
- P
  Paula SextonAug 7, 2025
  If the "Read Result" LED doesn't light up, the "Result 2" output doesn't pulse, the CLV outputs status ST=2, or the message "no code" appears, it indicates a read failure. This can occur if no bar code is present during the reading pulse, so synchronize the read with the object's presence. Also, ensure the scan line is correctly positioned and the bar code is centered. Verify the bar code's reading distance is within the specified range and that the module width is compatible with your CLV type. Check the evaluation range of the scan line (CP values) and the focus position in the Distance Configuration. If using a switching input trigger source, verify the functional assignment of IN 3 and IN 4, and the sensor connections.

Why is the "Device Ready" LED not lit on my SICK Barcode Reader?
- M
  Monique CarrAug 13, 2025
  If the "Device Ready" LED isn't lit and the "Result 1" output isn't pulsing, it suggests a problem with your SICK Barcode Reader. First, check the wiring and ensure the power connector is securely fitted to the AMV/S 60 Connection Module, and measure the voltage at pin 1 and pin 5. If the wiring is correct, switch the CLV off and on again to see if the LED illuminates. Also, verify that the CLV is in "Reading" mode using the "CLV- Setup" program. Finally, if using trigger mode, terminate and supply a new reading pulse, checking the reading pulse function.
