Portable Data Collection Terminal Solution

Fast, accurate, customizable real time Automatic Data Collection –this is the need of today 's businesses striving for greater efficiency, productivity and cost-effectiveness. The Falcon series 320/325 by EXPOTECH AND PSC is the answer. Open standards, powerful applications and ease of use allow these portable data collection terminals to integrate seamlessly into the supply chain of companies involved in logistics, manufacturing, retail, warehousing and distribution.

Rugged enough for the warehouse, but ergonomically designed for ease of use, the Falcon 320 and 325 offer a 16-line screen, 486-class processor, 33 MHz operating speed, integrated scanning, and a user-accessible PC Card slot. Their open architecture affords easy application development. And the Falcon 325 is available with PowerNet Twin Client to support VT100, VT220, HP700/92, IBM 3270 and 5250 terminal emulations, with screen formatter, allowing swift and simple integration into your existing legacy system.

While the Falcon 320 provides ideal batch data collection solutions, the Falcon 325, a wireless data collection terminal, is particularly ideal for data collection throughout the supply chain where real-time access to data is required. Our 2.4 GHz spread spectrum radio terminals have raised the bar in information management data collection, allowing information to be transmitted instantly, in real-time, without the use of wired connections.

With the international quality standards set by ISO 9000, Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), Just In Time (JIT) and Total Quality Control (TQC), companies are required to have documented procedures and effective automated data capture applications, such as inventory control, work in progress, labor tracking, receive-putaway and pick-ship systems. The aptly named Falcon soars in this tough environment.

LM520 Unattended Bar Code Scanner

Compact, Complete Scanning System
The LM520 Scanner is a compact, decoded, single-line scanner for fixed-position or embedded applications, such as conveyor, library, document tracking, chemical and blood analyzers, vending machines, POS terminals, and other attended or unattended scanning applications.

The LM520 is a complete scanning system, ready to plug in and scan. The LM520 presents a fast, easy and low-cost way to incorporate scanning into any application where you need to read a bar code.

High Performance, Reliable Scan Module

The LM520 scanner is designed around EXPOTECH AND PSC's LM500 Plus scan module. Consistent, reliable scanning performance is achieved with its retroreflective optical design, which uses a frictionless, electromagnetic dithering mirror to direct laser light to its target. This design is highly reliable and consumes less power than competitive models.

Advanced RapidStart™ circuitry creates the fastest start-of-scan in the industry, giving snappy performance and a reduction in misreads at start up An impressive read range, from 2.0 to 36.0 inches (5.1 to 91.4 cm) and excellent pitch and skew angles makes this scanner suitable for many tightly specified bar code reading applications.

Rugged Aluminum Enclosure

Measuring only 1.35 x 2.00 x 2.53 inches (3.4 x 5.1 x 6.4 cm) and weighing only 5.4 oz. (153 g), the compact LM520 fits in almost any fixed-position or embedded application. And the LM520's rugged extruded aluminum enclosure protects the scanner from mechanical shock, and seals it from dust and moisture.

Convenient Integration Features

System integration is made easy with the LM520's unique mounting design. Six mounting grooves, in the scanner's sealed enclosure, enable mounting on any one of four sides. A mounting kit, containing special mounting studs and lock nuts, come with every scanner.

To assure reliable integration, the LM520 scanner uses an industry standard RS232C interface, which allows the scanner to be mounted up to 50 feet (15.2 m) from the host system. Good read/no read result switches make integration with other automation control equipment a snap. These convenient design features help reduce implementation time and the costs associated with developing complicated integrated solutions.

Four separate Triggering Modes

Four separate triggering modes can be used to scan a bar code:

• An external switch, such as an output line from a Programmable Logic Connector (PLC)
• Software commands from the host system
• The LM520 can be set to scan continuously
• The LM520 also uses a unique EXPOTECH AND PSC motion detection technique called LaserSense™ to only scan when an object is passed in front of the scanner.

The various modes are selected via host commands or simple bar code programming labels.
