Finishing the BA-220 DualBeam Installation
After the Reader is mounted and the wiring is connected, all of the
openings in the bottom of the enclosure must be sealed off. Use
silicone, RTV, or other sealant to close off the opening in the bottom
so it is watertight.
If there is condensation on the laser optics, the Reader may not read
barcodes well or at all.
To prevent moisture from entering the enclosure, seal off the opening
as described above. Then, open the plastic bag containing the
desiccant pouch and remove it. Place the brown pouch and the
humidity indicator card flat on the bottom of the unit before closing the
door and tightening the latches. The desiccant will absorb moisture
from the air in the Reader for a long time before becoming saturated.
Note: Put the desiccant in the reader AFTER the installation is
complete and you are ready to close up the box.
Each time you open the Reader for service immediately check the
humidity indicator card. If the humidity card circles are all pink,
change out the desiccant pouch and replace it with a fresh one.
BE SURE TO CHECK THE HUMIDITY CARD FIRST WHEN
OPENING THE READER. After the door is opened, the card will react
to humidity in the outside air and usually turn pink to show how humid
the outside air is. As long as the card is not all pink when you first
open the door there is no need to change the desiccant bag.
If all 3 blue circles are pink when Reader is first
opened the desiccant should be changed.
