Description
The HBCS-A000 series low
current digital wands are hand
held scanners optimized to
provide excellent scanning of all
common bar code formats. The
patented low current, high
ambient light rejection circuitry is
packaged in a rugged
polycarbonate case.
Available in three resolutions,
these wands are capable of
reading a wide range of bar code
printing. Visible red and infrared
versions are available for reading
a wide range of print types and
colors.
The wands are available with or
without a switch to control the
wand operation.
Applications
The HBCS-A000 series wands are
highly effective alternatives to
keyboard data entry. These
devices are especially designed
for battery powered applications
where low power drain is a
primary concern. In addition to
their low current draw, these
wands are also designed to work
in high ambient light, such as
outdoors or near windows.

Notes:
1. Contrast is defined as R
W
- R
B
where R
W
is the reflectance of the white spaces and R
B
is the reflectance of the black bars, measured
at the emitter wavelength (655 nm or 820 nm). Contrast is related to PCS by PCS = (R
W
- R
B
)/R
W
or R
W
- R
B
= PCS * R
W
.
2. Not including the pull-up resistor current.
3. 10% to 90% transitions.
4. Switch bounce causes a series of sub millisecond pulses to appear on the output.
5. Shield must be properly terminated. The human body is modelled by discharging a 300 pF capacitor through a 500
Ω
resistor. No
damage to the wand will occur at the specified discharge level. The energy will be passed through the shield to the host device.
6. After this time, the wand is operational.

Electrical Operation
The HBCS-A000 series digital bar
code wands consist of a precision
optical sensor and an electronic
circuit that creates a digital
output of the bar code pattern.
The open collector transistor
requires only a pull-up resistor to
provide a TTL compatible output.
A non-reflecting black bar results
in a logic high (1) level output,
while a reflecting white space will
cause a logic low (0) level output.
The initial state will be indeter-
minate. However, if no bar code
is scanned, after a short period,
(typically less than 1 second), the
wand will assume a logic low
state.
The wands provide a case, cable
and connector shield which must
be terminated to logic ground, or
preferably, to both logic ground
and earth ground. The shield is
connected to the metal housing of
the 5 pin DIN connector.
