USED CONVENTIONS
This manual contains the following conventions:

• NOTE Gives a tip, an instruction,n or a point of attention.
• IMPORTANT Warns for possible damage to the device or other objects when the instruction is not followed.
• DANGER! Warns for possible harm to persons when the instruction is not followed.

LASER SAFETY

• IMPORTANT During installation, always follow the instructions.
• DANGER! Avoid long-term viewing of direct laser light. This product conforms with IEC 825 Class 1 and 21CFR1040 Class lla.

The SK-40/50 complies with safety standard IEC 825-1 (1993) for a Class I laser product. It also complies with U.S. 21CFR1040 as applicable to a Class LLA laser product. Avoid long-term viewing of direct laser light.

Optical:
The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazards. Optical instruments include binoculars, microscopes, and magnifying glasses but do not include eyeglasses worn by the user.

Radiant Energy:
The SK-40/50-0mni uses a low-power laser diode operating at 630…670 nm in an optomechanical scanner resulting in less than 0.6 mW peak output power. Laser light observed at 13 cm (5.1 in.) above the window through a 7 mm (0.28 in.) aperture and averaged over 1000 seconds is less than 3.9 uW per CDRH Class Ila specification. Do not attempt to remove the protective housing of the scanner, as unscanned laser light with a peak output of up to 0.8 mW could be accessible inside.

Laser Light Viewer:
The scanner window is the only aperture through which laser light may be observed on this product. A failure of the scanner motor, while the laser diode continues to emit a laser beam, may cause emission levels to exceed those for safe operation. The scanner has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary laser beam is emitted, the failing scanner should be disconnected from its power source immediately.

Adjustments:
Do not attempt any adjustments to or alteration of this product. Do not remove the scanner’s protective housing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.

CAUTION
Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an incorrect Type. Dispose of Used Batteries According to the regular Instructions.

CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION

MOUNTING THE DEVICE

• Before mounting the device, consider the following to ensure proper mounting and the safety of installation:
• The wall is thick enough to sustain the mounted device The mounted height should be convenient enough for everybody to easily scan the article and comfortably read the display. The recommended height is: 130-150 cm.

The SK-40 / SK-50 provides two mounting options:

• VESA mounting
• Wall mount with 2 screws, compatible with the Scantech-ID SG 15

VESA Mounting

• Use a VESA 75mm bracket with the 4 x M4 inserts provided in/at the back, the maximum depth is 8mm.

Wall Mount with 2 screws

1. Select a suitable location to mount the device.
2. See the next page for a Drilling Template, mark the location for the mounting screws, and drill two holes in the wall.
3. Plug the wall plugs into the holes.
4. Screw the mounting screws into the wall.
5. Connect the power adapter, cables, and other accessories to the device. See the following pages for connection instructions.
6. Position the device so the screws fit into the mounting holes and then push the device first to the right and then down to secure it in the right place.

SK-40 SK-50 Wall Mount Drilling Template:

• Enlarge this page to the real product sizes.
• Make sure the scaling reference of 100 mm is respected.

EXPANDING THE MEMORY
The Sk-40 and Sk-50 have standard built-in flash memory of 256 MB. The flash memory is non-volatile and contains the system firmware, user applications, data, promotion,n, and media files. If necessary the flash memory can be expended in two ways: use an SD card or a USB flash drive.

Installing an SD Card

1. Remove the screw securing the SD card compartment cover.
2. Insert the SD card.
3. Attach the screw back to close the SD card compartment cover.

Insert a Flash USB Drive into any of the available USB ports in the Data I/O compartment or the side compartment

CONNECTING THE SK-40 SK-50
Remove the back cover from the I/0 compartment. Ref Chapter 1.4.2

CONNECT TO THE LOCAL NETWORK

Wired Ethernet
Connect the Ethernet cable to the LAN port in the Data I/O compartment to obtain network access. Apply the (6) cable strain relief pins.

NOTE
The LAN port contains two network LED indicators.

Wireless connection
A Wi-Fi stick must be present in one of the USB ports in the side compartment or the Data I/O compartment for wireless connection. The SK-40/50 WiFi version is supplied from the factory with the Wifi USB stick built-in. If placed afterward: this must be a Scantech-validated type to guarantee correct wireless communication.

Connect peripherals through USB (if applicable)
Connect peripheral devices such as a handheld scanner or Wi-Fi stick to the USB port on the back of the device or in the side compartment.

NOTE The number of USB ports may vary depending on the model.

Connect headphones (if applicable) (SK-50)
Connect the headphones to the audio port on the back of the device. Apply the (6) cable strain relief pins.

Connect peripherals through RS-232 (if applicable) (SK-50)
To connect other accessories, such as a handheld scanner, connect the RJ11/14 6pin connector to the RS-232 port on the back of the device. Apply the (6) cable strain relief pins.

Connect the Power
Connect the power adapter to the power jack on the back of the device. Apply the (6) cable strain relief pi.ns.

POWER OVER ETHERNET

The exceptionally low power consumption of the SK series enables us to offer the ScanKiosks Powered over-Ethernet (POE). This is the alternative for powering the Sk-40/50 through an external PSU adapter. In this way the device gets its DC power directly from the powered (IEEE 802.3af compliant) Ethernet. There is no need to install a (230/110VAC) mains socket in the middle of the store. This SK-40/50 feature reduces the total installation costs. This SK-40/50POE version complies with the official standard: IEEE 802.3af. The standard CA15 network cable (8-pin, fully wired) can be used, with a regular maximum length of 100 meters. Towards thehostsidee this means that a hub/router is required, supporting the Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE) feature, complying with the official standard for this: EEE 802.3af. To avoid any miscommunication in this area: Scantech does not supply network components like power injectors, network cabling o, or powered hubs.

NOTE POE is an optional feature

Chapter 3 Maintaining the SK-40 SK-50

CLEANING
