General Mounting Guidelines
As you plan and install the AL5010 barcode solution for your application, be
sure to keep the following mounting guidelines in mind:
 Determine the proper orientation and position of the reader.
 Leave adequate clearances for maintenance and wiring.
 AL5010 Reader: ~ 1-inch [25 mm]
Required for scan head removal from mounting base.
 Interface Modules: ~ 8-12 inches [203-305 mm]
 Plan mechanical installation based on the application’s electrical require-
ments. See General Electrical Installation Guidelines in Chapter 4.
It is important that you follow all safety precautions when installing, setting
up, operating, maintaining, troubleshooting or replacing any Accu-Sort
products, parts or related equipment. See Chapter 2, Safety.
Reader Positioning: Fixed Laser
IMPORTANT: The AL5010 is able to decode barcodes at a variety of
angles; however significant angular distortion may degrade reading
performance. When positioning the reader, remember that the scan beam
exits the scan window parallel to the mounting base.
 When mounting the AL5010, take into consideration your
application’s barcode orientation.
 Mount the reader so that the scan beams will intersect barcodes.
IMPORTANT: To avoid the laser reflecting back onto itself
and lowering performance, install at a 10-degree skew.
