Interface

UART Interface
When the scan engine is connected to the UART port of a host device, the scan engine will automatically enable UART communication.

Below are default communication protocols:

• Baud rate: 9600
• Data Bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop Bit: 1
• Handshaking: None
• Flow Control Timeout: None
• ACK/NAK: OFF
• BCC: OFF

Interface Configuration Barcode:

USB HID Interface
The transmission will be simulated as USB keyboard input. The Host receives keystrokes on the virtual keyboard. It works on a Plug and Play basis and no driver is required.

Interface Configuration Barcode: USB VCP Interface
If scanner is connected to the USB port on a host device, the USB VCP feature allows the host device to receive data in the way as a serial port does. A driver is needed when using this feature.

Interface Configuration Barcode:

Operation Method

1. At power-up, the MT82M sends the Power-Up signals over Buzzer and LED pins as an indication that the MT82M enters Standby Mode and is ready for operation.
2. Once the MT82M triggered by either hardware or software method, MT82M will emit a beam of light which is aligned with the sensor’s field of view.
3. The area image sensor captures the image of barcode and produces an analog waveform, which is sampled and analyzed by the decoder firmware running on the MT82M.
4. Upon a successful barcode decoded, the MT82M turns off the illumination LEDs, sending the Good Read signals over Buzzer and LED pins and transmitting the decoded data to the host.

Mechanical Dimension

(Unit = mm)

INSTALLATION

The scan engine is designed specifically for integration into customer’s housing for OEM applications. However, the scan engine’s performance will be adversely affected or permanently damaged when mounted into an unsuitable enclosure.
Warning : The limited warranty is void if the following recommendations are not adhered to when mounting the scan engine.

Electrostatic Discharge Cautions

All scan engines are shipped in ESD protective packaging due to the sensitive nature of the exposed electrical components.

1. ALWAYS use grounding wrist straps and a grounded work area when unpacking and handling the scan engine.
2. Mount the scan engine in a housing that is designed for ESD protection and stray electric fields.

Mechanical Dimension
When securing the scan engine by utilizing the machine screws:

1. Leave sufficient space to accommodate the maximum size of the scan engine.
2. Do not exceed 1kg-cm (0.86 lb-in) of torque when securing the scan engine to the host.
3. Use safe ESD practices when handling and mounting the scan engine.

Window Materials
Following are descriptions of three popular window materials:

1. Poly-methyl Methacrylic (PMMA)
   Allyl Diglycol Carbonate (ADC)

2. Chemically tempered float glass

Cell Cast Acrylic (ASTM: PMMA)
Cell cast Acrylic, or Poly-methyl Methacrylic is fabricated by casting acrylic between two precision sheet of glass. This material has very good optical quality, but is relatively soft and susceptible to attack by chemicals, mechanical stress and UV light. It is strongly recommended to have acrylic hard-coated with Polysiloxane to provide abrasion resistance and protection from environmental factors. Acrylic can be laser-cut into odd shapes and ultrasonically welded.

Cell Cast ADC, Allyl Diglycol Carbonate (ASTM: ADC)
Also known as CR-39TM, ADC, a thermal setting plastic widely used for plastic eyeglasses, has excellent chemical and environmental resistance. It also has an inherently moderate surface hardness and therefore does not require
hard-coating. This material cannot be ultrasonically welded.

Chemically Tempered Float Glass
Glass is a hard material which provides excellent scratch and abrasion resistance. However, un-annealed glass is brittle. Increased flexibility strength with minimal optical distortion requires chemical tempering. Glass cannot be ultrasonically welded and is difficult to cut into odd shapes.

Coating

| Both sides to be anti-reflection coated to provide 1% maximum reflectivity from 635 to 690 nanometers at nominal window tilt angle. An anti-reflection coating can reduce the light that is reflected back to the host case. Coatings will comply with the hardness adherence

requirements of MIL-M-13508.

Window Placement

The window should be positioned properly to let the illumination and aiming beams pass through as much as possible and no reflections back into the engine. An improperly designed internal housing or improper selection of window material can degrade the engine’s performance.

The front of the engine housing to the furthest surface of the window should not exceed a+b (a ≦ 0.1mm, b ≦ 2mm).

Window Size
The window must not block the field of view and should be sized to accommodate the aiming and illumination envelopes shown below.

Window Care

In the aspect of window, the performance of MT82M will be reduced due to any kind of scratch. Thus, reducing the damage of window, there are few things have to be noticed.

1. Avoid touching the window as much as possible.
2. When cleaning the window surface, please use non-abrasive cleaning cloth, and then gently wipe the host window with the cloth that is already sprayed with glass cleaner.
