The A13-1014-254 USB Barcode Scanner does not require a computer interface but connects directly into the MiniScan EZ with a small adapter A21-1013-859 cable that comes standard with the sensor. If the cleaning process is causing the scratches then please research microfiber and chamois cloths and only use water or water mixed with a laboratory grade glass/clear plastic detergent to clean the lens.ĭo you still need more information? Submit a ticket and our support team member will reach out to you soon!įAQ: 'Does a barcode reader work without the computer? That is, can I directly hook it to the MiniScan EZ?' If the product is causing the scratches then the only alternative is to replace the lens at more frequent intervals. the specimen being measured is causing the scratches) or is the scratching occurring because the measured products leaves a residue, film, or some type of substance on the lens and then the cleaning process is causing the scratches?. Do you think the scratches are occurring because of the lens interaction with the measured product (e.g.

Typically Acrylic (PMMA, trademarked name is Plexiglas) has the same scratch resistance was PC.

It seems that the lens scratches easily, is there a harder plastic that we can use?Īnswer: The lens material is Polycarbonate (PC), the only alternatives that offer the same light transmittance properties are Acrylic and Glass. Question: I work in the food industry and use the MiniScan EZ with a nosecone that has a plastic lens since we cannot use glass out in our production area. When this happens the processor temporarily loses track of what it was doing and displays a “FFFFF” error on the screen. This results in the voltage supplied to the internal microprocess to fall below the minimum specification to keep it running and resets the microprocessor. During the charge cycle of the lamp capacitor, the high internal resistance of the battery causes a voltage drop across the batteries. What happens when “poor” quality batteries or batteries with high internal resistance is the following. This is very important for a MSEZ and why other batteries cause the instrument to display “FFFFF” or behave erratically. They have a minimum internal resistance.Many standard non-rechargeable batteries may work too but this can get expensive. This allows for an acceptable number of flashes before they need to be replaced.

They have a minimum capacity, or they can hold a given amount of energy.The batteries supplied with MSEZ were selected because they meet 3 requirements What batteries are recommended for the MSEZ instrument?
