Introduction

The RS419 ring scanner is a modular, wearable laser scanner that allows the operator hands-free bar code scanning capability. The scanner is used with the WT4090 and WT41N0 wearable terminal.

The RS419 is worn on the operator’s index finger, and utilizes a thumb-operated trigger. The

RS419 connects via an interface cable to the wearable terminal, which provides power and performs the data collection functions. The RS419 is available in two configurations; a short cable version for connection to a wrist mounted wearable terminal, and a long cable version for connection to a hip mounted wearable terminal.

CAUTION The trigger assembly only rotates 180° around the back of the scan assembly. Do not rotate the trigger assembly past the designed stops.

2.

Rotate the trigger assembly so that the scan trigger is positioned next to the thumb when the RS419 is placed on the index finger.

Installation

The RS419 connects to the wearable terminal and mounts on the index finger.

1.

On the wearable terminal, remove the connector cap.

2.

Connect the RS419 interface cable to the wearable terminal interface connector. If connecting to a wrist mounted wearable terminal, connect to the interface connector closest to the wrist.

Using the Scanner

Not to be used in condensing environments.

To scan bar codes:

1.

Turn on the wearable terminal.

2.

Launch a scanning application.

3.

Press the scan trigger and aim the RS419 at a bar code.

The scan LED lights red to indicate the laser is on.

4.

Position the red laser beam so that it covers the entire length of the bar code.

5.

If the decode is successful the LED turns green. The terminal beeps if programed accordingly.

Scanning Tips

• For larger bar codes, hold the RS419 farther away from the bar code.

• For bar codes with bars that are closer together, hold the RS419 closer to the bar code.

• The optimal scanning distance varies with bar code density, but 10 to 25 cm (4 to 10 inches) generally works. Practice to determine what distances to work within.

• Do not position the RS419 exactly perpendicular to the bar code being scanned. In this position, reflected light can bounce back into the exit window, and possibly prevent a successful decode.

Finger Strap Assembly Replacement

The finger strap assembly can be changed for each user or for replacement. To replace the finger strap assembly:

1.

Press down on the finger strap assembly release tab.

WARNING

!

AVOID EXPOSING THIS PRODUCT TO CONTACT WITH HOT OIL

OR OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS. IF SUCH EXPOSURE OCCURS,

UNPLUG THE DEVICE AND CLEAN THE PRODUCT IMMEDIATELY

IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE GUIDELINES.

Approved Cleanser Active Ingredients

100% of the active ingredients in any cleaner must consist of one or some combination of the following: isopropyl alcohol, bleach/sodium hypochlorite

1(see Important note below)

, hydrogen peroxide or mild dish soap.

IMPORTANT

Use pre-moistened wipes and do not allow liquid to pool.

1

When using sodium hypochlorite (bleach) based products always follow the manufacturer's recommended instructions: use gloves during application and remove the residue afterwards with a damp alcohol cloth or a cotton swab to avoid prolonged skin contact while handling the device.

Due to the powerful oxidizing nature of sodium hypochlorite, the metal surfaces on the device are prone to oxidization (corrosion) when exposed to this chemical in the liquid form (including wipes). Avoid allowing any bleach based product to come in contact with the metal electrical contacts on the device, the battery, or the cradle. In the event that these types of disinfectants come in contact with metal on the device, prompt removal with alcohol-dampened cloth or cotton swab after the cleaning step is critical.

Harmful Ingredients

The following chemicals are known to damage the plastics on the RS419 and should not come in contact with the device: ammonia solutions, compounds of amines or ammonia; acetone; ketones; ethers; aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons; acqueous or alcoholic alkaline solutions; ethanolamine; toluene; trichloroethylene; benzene; carbolic acid and TB-lysoform.

Cleaning Instructions

Do not apply liquid directly to the RS419. Dampen a soft cloth or use pre-moistened wipes. Do not wrap the device in the cloth or wipe, but gently wipe the unit. Be careful not to let liquid pool around the display window or other places. Allow the unit to air dry before use.

Special Cleaning Notes

Many vinyl gloves contain phthalate additives, which are often not recommended for medical use and are known to be harmful to the housing of the RS419. The RS419 should not be handled while wearing vinyl gloves containing phthalates, or before hands are washed to remove contaminant residue after gloves are removed. If products containing any of the harmful ingredients listed above are used prior to handling the RS419, such as hand sanitizer that contain ethanolamine, hands must be completely dry before handling the RS419 to prevent damage to the plastics.
