Intended use
The image-based ICR84X-2X is an intelligent sensor
for automatic decoding of codes on stationary or moving
objects (depending on type). It reads all commonly used
1D codes (bar codes/stacked codes) and 2D codes (matrix
codes). The ICR84X-2X sends the reading data to a higher-
level computer via its host interface for further processing.
The purpose of these operating instructions is to allow you to
take the ICR84X-2X into operation quickly and easily, and to
achieve the rst reading results. It describes the commission-
ing for an application with one ICR84X-2X.
Further information is available in the online help of the
CLV-Setup conguration software or on the product page on
the web (www.mysick.com/products).
Safety information
• Read this manual before commissioning the ICR84X-2X in
order to familiarize yourself with the device and its func-
tions.
• Connect or disconnect electrical linkages between the
ICR84X-2X and other devices only under de-energized
conditions. Otherwise, the devices could suffer damage.
• Conductor cross sections have to be selected, implement-
ed and protected according to valid engineering standards.
If the supply voltage for the ICR84X-2X is not fed via the
connection module CDB620/CDM420, the ICR84X-2X
needs to be protected by a separate slow-blow fuse of
max. 0.8 A at the beginning of the feeding circuit.
• Only use the ICR84X-2X under permitted ambient
conditions (e.g. temperature) and only in industrial areas
( see “Technical specications (extract)”).
• Do not look into the illumination unit of the ICR84X-2X.
• Do not open the ICR84X-2X. If the device is opened, any
warranty claims against SICK AG shall be deemed invalid.
aa CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specied herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure
Commissioning and conguration
Step 1: Electrical installation
1. Connect the Ethernet interface of the ICR84X-2X to the PC.
2. Supply the ICR84X-2X with voltage.

Step 2: Installation and alignment
1. Mount the ordered accessories to the ICR84X-2X.
2. Mount the ICR84X-2X on a holder using 2 screws (M5). To
do this, use both blind hole threads on the bottom of the
housing. Mounting bracket no. 2039465 (accessory) can
be used. Turn in the screws max. 8 mm (0.32 in) into the
blind hole threads ( see “Device description”).
Aligning the ICR84X-2X with the code

Taking account of the reading angle
typ. 20°
Selection of the skew angle, depending on the application
> Typically, skew the ICR84X-2X by 20° out of the perpen-
dicular in relation to the surface of the code, in order to
avoid disruptive reections.
In the case of codes created on metal, e.g. by dot peening,
an angle between 0° (bright eld illumination) and 45° (dark
eld illumination) may be sensible.
Step 3: Conguration
a. Conguration without PC
The function button and three LEDs with their second display
level are used for adapting the reading properties of the
ICR84X-2X without a PC.
With the Auto-Setup function, the ICR84X-2X automatically
adjusts itself to the light conditions and the quality of a data
matrix code that is presented. The values calculated for
the two modules “camera setting” and “code settings” are
permanently stored (default), thereby overwriting the existing
conguration.

Feedback from the ICR84X-2X in Auto-Setup
The “Auto-Setup” and “Read Diagn” LEDs signal the success
status.
LED Status

O = lit; = ashing
Important
> If the read result is inadequate (“Auto-Setup” LED ashes
slowly red), check the alignment and the distance of the
ICR84X-2X in relation to the code ( see “Step 2: Installa-
tion and alignment”). Restart Auto-Setup.
> If necessary, check the adjustment by analyzing the
resulted image using ImageFTP (Live image), see “b.
Conguration with PC”.
