2 Product Description
2.1 Use and Application
The OHV1000 handheld is a compact handheld reader for all common 1-D and 2-D codes
applied directly to the surface of a product. For example, the code may have been etched,
printed, or laser-engraved on the housing. Special technology to prevent glare allows the
device to accurately read codes on highly reflective surfaces. With its patented dual lens and a
resolution of 1.2 million pixels, it can read both small and large codes from a wide range of
distances. Feedback comes in the form of a visual or audible signal or a vibration.
Using the Vision Configurator software, rule sets can be created for formatting read results
without the need for extensive programming work. This facilitates integration into ERP systems.
Data is transferred via USB or RS-232, depending on which connection cable is selected. With
its robust housing and IP54 protection, the handheld reader is ideally suited to heavy-duty
industrial use.
The device is only approved for appropriate and intended use. Ignoring these instructions will
void any warranty and absolve the manufacturer from any liability.
Use the device only within the specified ambient and operating conditions.
Protection of the personnel and the plant is not ensured if the device is not being used
according to its intended use.
Caution!
Irritation caused by optical radiation
The optical unit on the handheld reader is equipped with very bright LEDs that can cause
irritation in dark environments.
Do not point the handheld reader at people.
Do not look directly into the optical unit on the handheld reader.
