Checkrite II
Product Literature (80K)Incorrect or unreadable barcodes on retail products can result in your shipment being rejected by your customer. You could be 'fined' and in extreme cases possibly even lose a contract.
Checking all your barcodes on-line is now extremely easy using the new Checkrite II barcode validation system.
Checkrite II is a stand alone, on-line barcode validation system that is used in conjunction with Microscan high performance industrial barcode readers. It is a PLC based system housed in a stainless steel enclosure that handles the logic of monitoring the scanners electrical outputs (Good Match, Good Read, No Read etc.) and provides a visual indicator of the validity of the barcode by way of a 3 colour light stack. On a 'Fail' condition an external output is also available to halt the production line.
Show & Go Programming
Storing new match code 'master' data is very simple. The 3 way key
switch is set to the 'Learn' position and a barcode passed in front of
the scanner. The barcode data is then automatically stored as the
'master'. Serial Data input is also available (see below).
Good Match
If subsequent barcodes scanned match the stored number then the Green
Light will switch ON and stay on until the beginning of the next read
cycle (next product passes the scanner).
Mis-Match
If the barcode scanned does NOT match the stored number then the Red
Light will switch ON and stay on until the Reset switch on the front
of the Checkrite II is activated. The Volt-free Contact will also
activate which may be used to stop the conveyor.
No Read
If the barcode is missing, mis-applied or unreadable the Amber Light
will switch ON and stay on until the next read cycle. After a
pre-programmed number of consecutive 'No Reads' both the Amber and Red
lights will light and stay ON until the Checkrite II is reset. At the
same time the Volt-free contact will be activated as per the Mis-Match
condition.
Use of the Learn, Reset and normal running functions is via a key operated 3-way switch to ensure only the line supervisor can operate the system. Key holders can also disable the system for non bar-coded products. The master label can also be loaded via the serial port if extra data integrity is required - ask about custom software.
A Checkrite II system is supplied with a photo-eye trigger and all the cables needed for connection to the scanners. Only a single mains power supply is required. A scanner communications connector allows barcode data from the Microscan scanner to be easily monitored and can also be used to re-program the scanner if needed. An RS485 Networked option is also available.
