Teach-in
When you teach in a match code, the device reads 
the code that is presented and saves it permanently 
as a target code for future code comparisons during 
read mode.
The “Teach-in” function is not possible for OCR detec-
tion. With pharma codes, you must rst dene the 
COde type & COde length function in SOPAS.
Auto-Setup
The device adjusts itself automatically to suit the light-
ing conditions and the quality of the code presented. 
The Professional, High Speed, DPM Plus and OCR 
variants also adjust to the working distance. The 
device stores these calculated values permanently.
The “Auto-Setup” function is not possible for OCR 
detection or pharma codes.
Auto focus (not in the case of ECO variant)
The device only adjusts itself to the working distance 
and stores this permanently.
Overview of electrical connections
- See “Pin assignment overview” on page 8.
- See “Overview of all interfaces and connection 
options” on page 7.
MicroSD memory card (optional accessory)
The ECO variant has no memory card slot.
Function
With the optional plug-in memory card, the device 
backs up the last permanently saved parameter set 
externally as well (cloning). Furthermore, the device 
has the option of recording images, e.g., in the case 
of “no reads”. The OCR variant can also store learned 
fonts. For the parameter safety concept and other 
functions of the memory card, refer to  Online help 
forthedeviceintheSOPASETcongurationsoftware. 
The memory card is not included with delivery.
To ensure that the memory card functions reliably, 
only use types approved by SICK (no. 4051366 or 
no. 4077575). The device supports memory cards up 
to max 32 GB. The memory card has no write protec-
tion that can be activated.
NOTE
Possible data loss or irreparable damage to the 
memory card!
The device does not signal the applicable type of ac-
cess to the memory card (read or write).
 Do not remove the memory card or turn off the 
supply voltage if there are parameter values in the 
device that access the memory card and have been 
set to “continuous” with the SOPAS conguration 
software (e.g., image acquisition).
 To remove the memory card safely during opera-
tion, select the remOve Card function under analySiS 
tOOlS/miCrOSd Card in the SOPAS conguration soft-
ware and wait for SOPAS to provide conrmation.
Inserting the memory card
The card slot can be accessed on the device behind 
the black cover. - See “Setup and function” on 
page 4, dimensional drawings.
Maintaining the IP 67 / IP 65 enclosure rating: - See 
“For your safety” on page 1.

Fig. 10:  Open memory card slot cover
1.  Loosen Torx screws (TX6, cannot be lost) on the 
cover.
2.  Carefully pull the upper edge of the ap away 
from the housing a little at the level of the hinges 
on the side. Use both of the recesses on the 
inside of the ap to do this.
3.  Fold the ap upwards starting from the bottom 
edge.
4.  Making sure it is in the correct position (with the 
contacts facing the device and pointing down), 
insert the memory card into the slot until it locks 
into place.
5.  Screw the cover on tight.
Transport and storage
Transport and store the device in its original packag-
ing, ensuring that the protective caps/plugs have 
been screwed onto the electrical connections. Do not 
store outdoors. To ensure that any residual moisture 
present can escape, do not store the device in airtight 
containers. Do not expose to aggressive media (e.g., 
solvents such as acetone).
Storage conditions: dry, dust-free, no direct sun-
light, storage temperature –20 °C to 70 °C, as little 
vibration as possible, relative humidity max. 90% 
(non-condensing).
Maintenance and care
The device operates maintenance-free. No main-
tenance is required to ensure compliance with risk 
group RGO and RG1 and laser class 1.
 In order to obtain maximum read performance 
from the device, the plastic pane of the read-
ing window must be checked for contamination 
at regular intervals (e.g. weekly). This applies 
especially when using the device in harsh envi-
ronments (dust, abrasion, moisture, etc.). The 
reading window must be kept clean and dry for 
reading.
 If the reading window is dirty, gently clean the 
window with a soft, damp cloth (mild cleaning 
agent).
Important!
If the pane of the reading window is scratched or 
damaged, it must be replaced. Contact SICK Service 
to arrange this.
Static charge may cause dust particles to ad-
here to the reading window. This effect can be 
avoided by using the SICK anti-static plastic cleaner 
(no. 5600006) in combination with the SICK lens 
cloth (no. 4003353).
Repairs
Repair work on the device may only be performed 
by qualied and authorized service personnel from 
SICK AG.
Disassembly and disposal
Any device which can no longer be used at the end of 
the product life cycle must be disposed of in an envi-
ronmentally friendly manner in accordance with the 
respective applicable country-specic waste disposal 
regulations. As they are categorized as electronic 
waste, the device must never be disposed of with 
household waste. SICK AG is not currently able to take 
back devices that can no longer be used.
