DS1500 2 2.2 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION DS1500 can be installed to operate in differ ent positions. T he two screw holes (M2 x 4) on the body of the reader are for mechanical fixture (Figure A, 1). The diagrams below give the overall dimensions of the scanner and mounting bracket and may be used for installation.

DS1500 2 2.2.1 Mounting DS1500 Using the DS1500 mounting bracket you can obt ain the most suitable position for the reader as shown in the figure below : Skew Pitch Figure 4 – Positioning with Mount.
INSTALLATION 2 2.3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS All DS1500 models are equipped with a cabl e terminated by a 15-pin male D-sub high-density connector for connection to t he pow er supply and input/output signals. The details of the connector pins ar e indicated in the following table.
DS1500 2 2.3.1 Power Supply Power can be supplied to the scanner th rough the pins provided on the 15-pin connector used for communication with the host (Figure 6): 1 8 5 VS GND USER INTERFACE GND V+ (5 Vdc) DS1500 Earth Ground Figure 6 - Power Supply Connections The power must be 5 Vdc only.
INSTALLATION 2 RS232 Interface The serial interface is used in this ca se for point-to-point connections; it handles communication with the host computer and allow s both transmission of code data and the programming of the scanner. This is the default setting.
DS1500 2 RS485 Full-Duplex Interface The RS485 full-duplex (5 wires + shield) interface is used for non-polled communication protocols in point-to-point connections over longer distances (max 1200 m / 3940 ft) than those acceptable for RS 232 communications or in electrically noisy environments.
INSTALLATION 2 RS485 Half-Duplex Interface The RS485 half-duplex (3 wires + shield) interface is used for polled communication protocols. It can be used for Multidrop connections with a Datalogic Multiplexer, (see par.
DS1500 2 Figure 10 shows a multidrop configurat ion w ith DS1500 scanners connected to a Multiplexer. CAUTION To avoid any possible Ground loop, keep the chassis isolated from the Ground. CAUTION This is an example of multidrop wiring. Consult the multiplexer manual for complete wiring instructions.
INSTALLATION 2 2.3.3 Auxiliary RS232 Interface The auxiliary serial interface is us ed exclusively for RS232 point-to-point connections. The parameters relative to the aux interf ace (baud rate, data bits, etc.
DS1500 2 Code Verifier If the DS1500 is used as a Code Verifier, it is possible to indicate to the scanner what code to store as the verifier code through the WinHost program, (refer to the WinHost Help On Line).
INSTALLATION 2 An anti-disturbance hardware filter is implemented on the Ex ternal Trigger input (< 5 milliseconds delay). An additional 15 ms (typical) delay can be implemented through a dedicated softw are parameter (refer to WinHost Help On Line).
DS1500 2 2.4 USER INTERFACE The following table contains the pinout fo r standard RS232 PC Host interface. For other user interface types please refer to their ow n manual.
INSTALLATION 2 2.5 POSITIONING The DS1500 scanner is able to decode moving barcode labels at a variety of angles, however significant angular distor tion may degrade reading performance. When mounting the DS1500 take into consideration these three ideal label position angles: Pitch 0°, Skew 15° to 30° and Tilt 0° .
DS1500 2 The Tilt angle is represented by the value T in Figure 17. Position the reader in order to minimize the Tilt angle. T Figure 17 - Tilt Angle By using the ACB (Advanced Code Builder) so ftware parameter, the tilt angle is less critical and can be decoded even if the sc an line doesn’t cross the entire code.
INSTALLATION 2 2.6 TYPICAL LAYOUTS The following typical lay outs refer to system hardw are configurations . Dotted lines in the figures refer to optional hardware conf igurations w ithin the particular layout. These layouts also require the correct setup of the softw are configuration parameters.
DS1500 2 In this layout the data is transmitted to t he Host on the main serial interface. Host Mode programming can be accomplished through the main interface. When On-Line Operating mode is used, t he scanner is activated by an External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.
INSTALLATION 2 2.6.2 Pass-Through Pass-through mode allows tw o or more devic es to be connected to a single external serial interface. Each DS1500 transmits the messages receiv ed by the Auxiliary interface onto the Main interface. All messages will be pa ssed through this chain to the host.
DS1500 2 2.6.3 RS232 Master/Slave The RS232 master/slave connection is used to collect data from several scanners to build either a multi-point or a multi-sided reading system; there can be one master and up to 9 slaves connected together. The Slave scanners use RS232 only on the main and auxiliary serial interfaces.
INSTALLATION 2 2.6.4 Multiplexer Layout Each scanner is connected to a Multiple xer (for example MX4000) with the RS485 half-duplex main interface. Host 2 1 2 Main Interface External T rigger (for On-.
DS1500 3 3 READING FEATURES 3.1 ADVANCED CODE BUILDER (ACB) In addition to linear reading, the A dvanced C ode B uilder (ACB) allows code reading by “stitching” together tw o partial reads of it.
READING FEATURES 3 ACB Readabl e ACB is disabled by default but can be enabled for the follow ing code types: • Code 25 Interleaved • Code 128/EAN128 • Code 39 Family • EAN/UPC (without ADD-Ons) • Codabar • Code 93 3.1.1 Important ACB Reading Conditions • Do not use A CB for omni-directional reading stations.
DS1500 3 3.1.2 Tilt Angle Improvement with ACB ACB allows barcode reading w ith an incr eased tilt angle. T he tilt angle depends upon the code aspect ratio defined as H/L according to the table below: L H barcode label Aspect Ratio H/L Max theoretical linear tilt angle Max practical ACB angle 0.
READING FEATURES 3 3.2.1 Step-Ladder Mode If scanning is perpendicular to the code moti on direction (Figure 23), the number of effective scans performed by the reader is given by the follow ing formu.
DS1500 3 3.2.2 Picket-Fence Mode If scanning is parallel to the code motion, t he number of effective scans is given by the following formula: SN = [((FW-LW)/LS) * SS] -2 Where: SN = number of effecti.
