Specifications Manual
1. Abstract
This manual provides specifications for the OPL-9815 barcode data collector.
2. Overview
The OPL-9815 is a barcode data collector that contains a compact laser module.
This data collector offers efficient scanning performance that is suitable for various business
environments and is able to store scanned data and data configured via keyboard input.
Bluetooth ver 2.1 is one of the communication options for this device allowing it to wirelessly
connect to many peripherals like printers, smart phones and tablets. The supported profiles
are SPP (Serial port profiles) and HID (keyboard emulation).
Infra-red is another communication option of the OPL-9815. Stored data can be sent out via
an IrDA Ver.1.2-compliant infra-red transceiver. For easy connection to a computer, Opticon
sells several cradles that can be used to receive the infra-red transmission and convert that
to a standard RS232 or USB signal that can be connected to any computer. On top of the
communication features that the cradles can offer, they can also be used to charge the
battery inside the data collector.
The OPL-9815 also has a GPS (Global Positioning System) feature and clock function.
Those extra features of the OPL-9815 make it possible to add location data and a time
stamp to scanned barcode data. Additional to the OPL 9813, this model features a backlit
display and a keyboard with 18 keys.
The OPL-9815 can use a variety of cradles:
• CRD 9723 single-bay cradle (1 x charging, 1 x communication)
• CRD 9723 multi-bay cradle (5 x charging, 1 x communication)
• CRD 9723 multi-bay cradle (5 x charging, 5 x communication)
• CRD 9722 single-bay cradle (1 x charging, no communication)
• CRD 9726 Single-bay cradle with land-line modem
• CRD 9727 Single-bay cradle with GSM modem
Use a dedicated C-language-based development tool to develop applications for the OPL-
9815.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1) This device may not cause harmful interference and
2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
