OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Lector620
Image-based code reader
     
en
Intended use
The Lector620 image-based code readers are intel-
ligent SICK-4Dpro sensors. The Lector620 is used 
for automated, xed identication and decoding of 
codes on moving or stationary objects. They read all 
commonly used 1D codes (bar codes/stacked codes) 
and 2D codes (matrix codes). The Lector620 uses its 
host interface to send the read data to a higher-level 
computer for further processing.
The Lector620 product family offers several variants: 
Professional, High Speed, DPM Plus, OCR and ECO. 
These include further sub-variants depending on the 
model. - See “Type code” on page 7.
About this document
In this document, the Lector620 is referred to as 
“device” for simplicity's sake.
The purpose of these operating instructions is to 
allow you to commission the device quickly and easily 
and to achieve initial read results. These instructions 
describe a stand-alone application for a device based 
on the default settings. The optional CDB620-001 
connection module is used for the industrial-standard 
signal distribution of the device.
These operating instructions are applicable for the 
variants according to the type code. - See “Type 
code” on page 7.
Supplementary and other relevant documents
More information, such as application examples and 
downloads of associated documents and associated 
software, can be found on the SICK product page on

Information about conguration can be found in the 
online help function of the SOPAS ET conguration 
software.
For your safety
•  This chapter is dedicated to the safety of commis-
sioning personnel and personnel operating the 
system in which the device is integrated.
•  Read these instructions carefully before commis-
sioning the device in order to familiarize yourself 
with the device and its functions. The operating 
instructions must be kept in the immediate vicinity 
of the device where they can be accessed at all 
times.
•  Do not look into the reading window of the device 
in order to dazzling from the bright, integrated 
lighting. - See warning “Optical radiation” on 
page 1.
•  To comply with the variant-dependent IP 67 / 65 
enclosure rating in operation, the following require-
ments must be met. If this is not done, the device 
does not fulll any specied IP enclosure rating.
•  The black cover for the microSD card slot and 
USB port must be screwed tight to the device.
•  Devices with swivel connector: The cables 
plugged into the M12 connectors are locked in 
place.
•  Electrical connections that are not being used 
must be tted with protective caps/plugs, which 
must be screwed tight (as they are on delivery).
•  Only operate the device without the cover for 
the microSD card slot for a short period while 
inserting or removing the memory card. During 
this time, protect the device against moisture 
and dust.
•  Opening the screws of the device will invalidate 
any warranty claims against SICK AG. For further 
warranty provisions, see the General Terms and 
Conditions of SICK AG, e.g., on the delivery note of 
the device.
•  Data integrity: SICK AG uses standardized data 
interfaces, such as standard IP technology, in its 
products. The emphasis here is on the availability 
of products and their features. SICK AG always 
assumes that the integrity and condentiality of the 
data and rights affected by the use of these prod-
ucts will be ensured by the customer. In all cases, 
appropriate security measures, such as network 
separation, rewalls, virus protection, and patch 
management, must be taken by the customer on 
the basis of the situation in question.
 CAUTION
Optical radiation
Class 1 laser radiation
The accessible beam from the targeting laser does 
not represent a risk due to the normal restrictions 
imposed by human behavior.
LED risk group 1 (RG 1):
The accessible beam from the illumination unit does 
not represent a risk due to the normal restrictions 
imposed by human behavior.
For both types of beams:
It is not possible to entirely rule out temporary, disori-
enting optical effects on the human eye (e.g., dazzle, 
ash blindness, afterimages, impairment of color 
vision), particularly in conditions of dim lighting. No 
safety precautions are required.
Caution – if any operating or adjusting devices other 
than those specied here are used or other methods 
are employed, this can lead to dangerous exposure to 
radiation.
 Do not look into the light source when it is switched 
on.
 Comply with the applicable regulations on photobio-
logical safety of lamps and lamp systems as well as 
on laser protection.

cerpt)” on page 6.
Commissioning and conguration
Scope of delivery
•  The version of the Lector620 ordered, including 2 
M5 sliding blocks. Electrical connections tted with 
protective caps/plugs. Only the ECO variant has a 
connecting cable tted.
•  Printed operating instructions in German (no. 
8014639) and English (no. 8014640). Other 
language versions may be available in PDF format

necting cables are supplied if ordered separately
Step 1: Mounting and alignment
Equipment required
•  2 or 4 M5 screws for mounting the device on a 
bracket supplied by the customer. Screw lengths 
are dependent on the mounting base (wall 
thickness of bracket). When using optional SICK 
brackets, screws for the device are included with 
delivery.
Mounting requirements
•  The permissible ambient conditions for operating 
the device must be observed (e.g., ambient tem-
perature, ground potential). - See “Technical data 
(excerpt)” on page 6. - See warning “Risk of
