To install a 10.3 mm or a 24 mm liquid lens module of a DataMan 470 reader, perform the following steps:

WARNING:  Disconnect the DataMan reader from power before continuing.
CAUTION:  Do not leave the image sensor exposed to the environment.
  1. Remove the adhesive protective film covering the threaded lens opening.

  2. Attach the 24 mm Lens to the device by using the screw thread on the metal ring.

    Insert an S-Mount adapter, thread the 10.3 mm Lens into the reader, and tighten the locking ring.

  3. Insert the Liquid Lens cable into the connector of the reader.

    WARNING:  To avoid equipment damage, the cables must be routed as shown in the figure.

  4. Attach the Liquid Lens to the front side of the 24 mm Lens.
  5. In case of the 10.3 mm Lens, attach the liquid lens module onto the nose of the lens.

  6. Place the HPIL unit on the front of the device.
