ESD Precautions The engine is shipped in ESD safe packaging. Use care when handling the scan engine outside its packaging. Be sure ground- ing wrist straps and properly grounded work areas are used. Dust and Dirt The engine must be sufficiently enclosed to prevent dust particles from gathering on the imager and lens. When stocking the unit, keep it in its protective packaging.
Introduction and Installation About the N56XX Decoded Out Image Engines The N56XX decoded out engine is a miniature, CMOS imager-based (black/white or color) image capture and bar code imaging module device. It is configured to be sold as a bracketed module or as the optics module and decoder board separately. The modules are designed for easy integration into an OEM portable device.
Optics Module to Decoder Board Connector The imager flex circuit is a custom component. There are two flex circuit options available; one for bracketed and non-bracketed applications and a longer one for non-bracketed applications only. The flex coming across the decoder board and connecting to the top of (not across) the engine is the recommended orientation.
Host Interface Signal Descriptions Note: Do not connect unused pins to GND. TTL Level 232 Interface Signal Description Input TTL level 232 polarity control with 68k ohm pull-up. Connect to ground for 232 Inv UART to UART serial signal polarity and override internal polarity control. This signal can also be driven to a logic low level internally and tying or pulling this input to Vcc is not recommended.
USB Interface Signal Description <no connection> Power Supply voltage input. Refer to specified input values on page 3-1. Power Supply and signal ground. Input/ USB D- differential data signal. Output <reserved> Output Input/ USB D+ differential data signal. Output <reserved> Output PWRDWN/ Output...
This interface is used if you want to connect via USB with IBM SurePOS capabilities. (This is the best choice when connect- ing to the USB port of an IBM POS terminal). Note: For additional USB programming and technical information, refer to Honeywell’s “USB Application Note,” available at www.honeywellaidc.com.
Lower power trigger mode causes the N56XX to power off between scans. A manual trigger activation causes the power to be turned on. The trigger line is controlled on the N56XX with a pullup so the line must be left floating to successfully enter the low power modes.

If it takes 2 ms for the illumination to be full-on, in response to nFLASH_OUT, FLACON should be configured to 127 (2 ms = 127 * 16.7 µS). This signal is driven by an Open Drain NC7WZ07 device with a V = 5.5V through the 100K pull up resistor on the Omax engine.
• Allow ambient light to assist the image engine in bar code decoding, thereby reducing the on-time of the illumination LEDs. Honeywell engineers have successfully designed the image engine into many applications as described above. Please contact your Honeywell sales manager or solutions architect for detailed design assistance.
Electrical DC Characteristics Operating Voltage Configuration Nominal Unit RS232 Only 4.75 5.25 USB (Full Speed) Only 4.75 5.25 USB (High Speed) Only 1.At least 3.0V must be maintained at the N56XX input connector during scanning. 2.At least 4.75V must be maintained at the N56XX input connector during scanning. 3.No RS232 option available.
Current Draw For RS232: Idle, Standby and Power Off power modes are controlled by the SDRTIM, 232LPT, TRGLPT, and TRGMOD set- tings. Idle mode is entered when the SDRTIM time-out expires. Standby mode is entered when the SDRTIM and 232LPT time- outs expire.
Power Conditioning and Interruptions Always apply power to the imager after connecting to the interface device. Warning! Connecting the imager to live power (“hot plugging”) may damage the electronic components of the imager. A clean and stable power source is required for the imager. Momentary power interruptions or fluctuations put the imager into Power Off mode.
Tx - Sending data from the host* Note: * The following settings were used to capture the above plots: DEFALT;TERMID0;TRGLPT2;232LPT2;TRGMOD2. Power Off Timing (Low Power Mode)* After nWAKE and nTRIG are released it takes about 6 seconds for the PWRDWN signal to go high (hardware time-out) with the lowest setting for TRGLPT (TRGLPT1 - low power time-out of 1 second).
