1 Double check the dimensions of the mounting hole and drill a hole in the mounting board

For the dimensions of the mounting hole, refer to F [6. 3 Dimensional outline drawings] on page 6-7.

2 If you use the brackets provided, use the two mounting screws (also provided) to secure the bracket to the
WB2F before you secure the bracket to the mounting board.
If you do not use the brackets provided, use the two mounting screws to secure the WB2F to the mounting
board.
The tightening torque for the product mounting screws is 0.4 to 0.5 N·m.

Instead, use two M3 screws with an effective thread length of 3 to 5 mm and secure the WB2F to theplate.
If you use a bracket other than the one that was included, make sure that the dimensions of themounting holes is at most Φ3.4mm
When using the WB2F, remove the protective film on the scan window.
If you attach to a plate that is thicker than 2.3 mm, do not use the included mounting screws.
If, during installation, the WB2F is exposed to excessive force (e.g. the mounting screws aretightned excessively, the product is hit with a hammar, the base of the cable is exposed to excessive stress (pulled strongly, bent etc.)), it could undermine the IP65 protective structure of the
WB2F.

Install the unit so that symbol skew θ is in the range of +15° ≤ θ ≤ +60° and -60° ≤ θ ≤ -15°.
For the reading range, refer to F [6. 2. 1 Reading Range] on page 6-3. For other angular characteristics, refer to F
[6. 2. 3 Angle Characteristics] on page 6-5. For detailed dimensions, refer to F [6. 3 Dimensional outline drawings] on
page 6-7.

Skew in a range of -15° < θ < +15° is in the mirror reflection area (dead zone), so reading performance
may drastically decrease in ways such as the unit not being able to read or misreading symbols
The mirror reflection area (dead zone) will differ based on the emitter LED's lighting pattern.

To adjust the WB2F's position while confirming the symbol's read success rate, follow the steps described in
F [4. 3 Setup support mode] on page 4-48.

Do not reverse the power supply connections under any circumstances. Doing so may resultin damage.
Use the product within the rated power supply voltage range. Otherwise there is a risk of explosion or burnout.
When using this product in situations where it is not built into other equipment, do not use
an integrated power supply. Otherwise there is a risk of fire or electric shock.
Avoid parallel wiring of the product's wires in the same conduit or duct with high voltage
lines or power lines (inverter power lines in particular) as this may cause malfunction or damage due to the effect of induction noise.

The power reset time is under 5s. Perform operations 5s after turning the power on.
Always turn off the WB2F's power supply before wiring the product.
If the wires are long and when there is a risk of being affected by power sources or solenoids, independently wire the product as a general rule.
If you elongate the cable via a DIN connector, be careful of short circuit between adjacent terminals
and consider the subsequent voltage drop of the power supply and use a cable thicker diameter than
AWG28. If the entire cable exceeds a length of 2.8m, there is a possibility that the it will adversely effectnoise immunity. Do so only after thoroughly confirming that the WB2F's performance is not impacted.

Notes on Communication
Enter [prefix + suffix] if you suspect any of the following: the scanner is unused despite the power being on
for a long period of time, the scanner appears to be receiving noise, or the scanner may be storing unncessary data in its reception buffer. This will clear the reception buffer.
The transmission and receive buffers have 16kB of storage. If data that exceeds 16kB is stored, data transmission and reception will not be correctly performed. If you plan on enabling the RS-232 interface's hardware

1D code print quality evaluation standard

Although the verification results obtained using this function conform to the noted standard, the resultscannot be used as official verification because the function uses an image captured by the WB2F for verification.

zz Outline of operation
When this function is enabled, verification is performed according to the 2D code or 1D code standard.
For CC-A/CC-B/CC-C composite symbols, verification is performed using both 2D code and 1D code standards.
This function can be enabled by changing the settings for the following functions.

1. Output data additional information
The verification result can be added to the reading data for output.
For more information, refer to F [4. 2. 3 Output data additional information] on page 4-15.

2. External output terminal output function
The verification result can be compared with the pre-set threshold value, and the results can be output to an external output terminal.
For more information, refer to F [4. 2. 11 I/O] on page 4-40.

3. Image auto save function
The verification result can be compared with the pre-set threshold value, and the results can be automatically saved as animage if equal to or less than the threshold value.
For more information, refer to F [4. 2. 9 Image Capture] on page 4-34.

Enabling the print quality simple verification function will result in longer reading output times than when
the function is disabled.
The printing verification result will change depending on the parameter table setting for imaging and theinstallation position of the code.
The following installation position and setting values are recommended.
Installation position: Code positioned so that the distance is 100 mm and the skew angle is 20°.
Setting values:
Number of LED's lit: 4 lights (Boost) / Analog Gain: 2 Times / Digital Gain: 82 / Exposure
Time: 51
Japan Postal Code: Reading prohibited.

There are three types of auto-tuning.
For more details on the auto-tuning and its various settings, refer to F "Auto-tuning" in [4. 6 Configuration Item Table]on page 4-61.

Standard tuning
Tuning that is specialized for easy to read symbols (such as those printed on paper). Use this setting for standard operations.

Detailed Tuning
Will perform auto-tuning that is specialized for difficult symbols (such as DPM). Use this function when standard tuning
has failed.
* It may take up to several minutes for tuning to complete as the WB2F searches for the optimum image filter.

Custom tuning
This function is adjusting value of the auto configuration after confured value of the auto configuration.
Use confuring value of the auto configuration when you would like to change the value of the auto configuration.
Auto-tuning setting values are as follows.

There are two methods to switch to maintenance mode.
Use the methods depending on maintenance and the situation when a problem occurs.
The STUATUS LEDs (red/orange/green) will all flash (2 s on, 2 s off ) when switching to maintenance mode.
Method 1 You can switch to maintenance mode with the READ/ENTER button.
For details, refer to F [Detailed procedure using the READ/ENTER button] on page 4-58.
Method 2 Input the "switch to maintenance mode" control command.
For details, refer to F [6. 6 List of Control Commands] on page 6-13.

4. 4. 3The setting values are restored by turning the power on/off, resetting, or switching the mode.
When a symbol is read, the flashing LEDs (green/orange/red) turn off. The LEDs (green/orange/red) will flash
again after 5 s.
After switching to maintenance mode, you can restore the setting values to the factory defaults by reading
the initialization barcode. For the initialization barcode, refer to F Page 6-27.

Firmware updatingThis function updates the WB2F firmware.

Connecting to a PLC

PLC Connection Function is which writes a reading data of the symbol into a memory of PLC (programmable logic controller) directly.
Because the WB2F is compatible with the PLC's communication protocol, there is no need to create a special communication program for the PLC.
Please download "WB2F 2D Code Scanner PLC Connection User’s Manual (B-1960)" from our Web site about PLC Connection Function in detail.

When setting values are changed, the setting values must be saved with the "save setting values" control command.
If the power is turned off, the unit is reset, or the operation mode is changed without executing "savesetting values", the setting values are restored to the same values as before they are changed.
Do not access or change any settings that are not listed here.
Do not access or change any settings in reserved areas.
Do not access or change any settings during a reading operation.

When configuring settings that specify ASCII code for the setting value, be aware of the following points.
zz

NUL (00H) cannot be used as a setting value.

zz

The characters up to the first NUL (00H) are considered the data and any data after that is not valid.

Setting value (hex) of bold face is default value (Setting at the time of factory shipments).

Methods to fix the length of read symbols
Fixed Length A and Fixed Length B setting configurations are only available for applicable symbols
There are three methods to fix the length.
Fixed length method

Configuration method

Readable length

Specify range

Fixed length A < fixed length B Fixed length A to fixed length B

Specify fixed length

Fixed length A ≥ fixed length B Fixed length A, fixed length B

Not specified

Fixed length A=00H

Minimum value to maximum value (varies by symbol)

 Specified Range

You can specify a range for the length by setting the minimum symbol length to read for fixed length A and setting the
maximum for fixed length B (fixed length A < fixed length B). However, do not set fixed length A as "00H". A range cannot
be specified in that way.
e.g. When fixed length A is set to "02H" and fixed length B is set to "08H"
If Fixed Length A< Fixed Length B, only symbols with a range of 2 to 8 characters can be read Specify fixed length

If the setting value for fixed length A is larger than that of fixed length B (fixed length A > fixed length B), two types of
fixed lengths can be set. If fixed length B is "00H", only the length set by fixed length A can be read.
If fixed length A and fixed length B are set to the same value (fixed length A=fixed length B), only the fixed length that has
been set can be read.
e.g. When fixed length A is set to "08H" and fixed length B is set to "02H"
If Fixed Length A> Fixed Length B, only symbols with a range of 2 to 8 will be read.
e.g. When fixed length A is set to "05H" and fixed length B is set to "05H"
If Fixed Length A= Fixed Legth B, only symbols with 5 characters can be read.
 Fixed length not specified

If Fixed Length A is set to 00H, no fixed range is set for the value of fixed length. Any symbol with a range of minimum tomaximum (depending on the symbol) number of characters can be read.
e.g. When fixed length A is set to "00H"
If Fixed Length A = 00H, any symbol with a range of minimum to maximum (varies depending on the symbol) number of characters can be read
Confirm each symbols decoding settings for the readable Number of Characters (minimum value, maximum
value)

Setting check digit

6. 15 Setting check digit
Each symbol has two settings, “Inspection of check digit Enabled/Disabled” and “Check digit transmitting Tranmit/Not
transmit”. The settings that define the manner in which the WB2F operates are as follows.
The WB2F recognizes the last digit (excluding the start/stop characters) as the check digit when the check digit is definedin each symbology.

Inspection of check digitzzzz

Enabled : Check digit is inspected.
The code can be read when the check result is correct, but cannot be read if the check result is incorrect.
Disabled : Check digit is not inspected.
Since the check digit is not inspected, the code can be read whether or not the check digit is correct.

Check digit transmittingzzzzTranmit : Check digit is tranmitted.
The check digit is tranmitted when the check digit is added to the barcode. The last digit is transmitted when the
check digit is not added.
Not transmit : Check digit is not transmitted.
The check digit is not transmitted when the check digit is added to the barcode. The last digit is not transmitted
when the check digit is not added.
