Verificador Portátil Inspector® 4000 ANSI

The Inspector 4000 fulfills the ANSI method standards like no other verifier on the market. Key features include a patented Auto-Optic scan head that allows menu selections for four aperture sizes and two light wavelengths.

The Inspector 4000 meets the American National Standard Institute’s "Guideline for Bar Code Quality’ (ANSI X3.182) method for verification. It also meets Uniform Code Council (UCC) and CEN specifications regarding verification methods.

This truly unique and powerful instrument is also easy to use. All the popular linear symbologies are supported. Store and print capability, multiple scan averaging and subsymbology choices are easily accessed through a simple four-button user interface. Analysis information appears immediately on a 32-character alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD). A distinct audible tone and a series of five colored LED’s indicate whether a bar code is in or out of specification.

In addition to the ANSI method parameters, traditional analysis parameters are provided on the LCD without the need for special mode settings.

Data can also be sent to an optional printer or to RS-232 compatible equipment for further analysis.

Two Auto-Optic scan head versions are available – 3, 6, 10, 20 mil or 3, 5, 10, 20 mil aperture choices. Both versions provide red (660 nm)and infra-red (925nm) light wavelength selections.

Accessories available include two printer models and a battery charger/power supply.

• Portable verifier for screening codes printed on thermal or laser printers

• Codes with Large (> 25-mil) X dimension

• Verify using IR light

• Printing codes with multiple sized X dimension

• Measure reflectance of material

• UPC codes on flat surfaces

• Applications using code 93 bar codes

The RJS Inspector 4000 performs the ANSI method of verification. This document is intended to describe the verifier’s standards of compliance.

Reflectance Compliance - 660 nm wavelength (red) light (see note 1)

The calibration plaque supplied with the Inspector 4000 is RJS part number 930-08. The plaque’s 660 nm (red) reflectance values are traceable to the Applied Image Primary Verification Calibrated Standard per ANSI X3.182 Step Reflectance Chart (see note 2).

Reflectance Compliance - 925 nm wavelength (infra-red) light (see note 1)

The 925 nm (infra-red) calibration plaque reflectance values are traceable to RJS standards developed between 1975 and 1978 for the initial Autoscan product.

The Inspector 4000 gathers data and performs all ANSI method parameter calculations per the X3.182-1990 methodology. No optical correction algorithms are incorporated in this system. One RJS proprietary calculation correction algorithm is incorporated to provide a more accurate and consistent Decodability calculation for manual scanning. This algorithm produces maximum accuracy for Decodability when a symbol is scanned in both directions during a multiple scan analysis.

The optical configuration meets all aspects of the X3.182-1990 requirements.

The four round apertures used for the ANSI verification method are each physically inspected and measured to be within +/- .0004 inch of their intended diameter sizes when in the final optical configuration.

Final system test is performed by scanning a set of test symbols that are traceable to Applied Image U.P.C. Primary Verification Standard (per ANSI X3.182) calibrated at 660 nm and 6 mil aperture (or 5 mil depending on the scanner model being tested.) All calculated parameters are confirmed to be within +/- 4 % of all target parameters marked on the symbols (see notes 1 and 2).

Notes:

1. The Inspector 4000 can be set up to be calibrated to practically any reflectance standard. High and low calibration reflectance target values for both the red and infra-red light sources are user programmable via menus.

2. Applied Image certified Calibration Standards are manufactured to Applied Image, Inc. and Uniform Code Council, Inc. specifications, using ANSI X3.182-1990 methodology, and are calibrated using standards traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (N.I.S.T.)
