18 ProGlove Mark - User Manual3. SCANNING WITH MARKScanning Module Specications Omni-directional scanning:The ProGlove MARK is an omni-directional scanner. This means that the ProGlove MARK scans a wide range of barcodes and symbols. For this purpose, the scan reading eld is simply placed over the barcode. The ProGlove MARK will then record and decode it.Decoding:The ProGlove MARK can reliably scan all relevant 1D (linear) barcodes, 2D-stack codes (such as PDF417) or 2D matrix symbols (such as DataMatrix) with the help of powerful algorithms. The information from the barcode is sent to the host immediately after decoding. The scanner is then ready for scanning further symbols.Data formatting:The string of a decoded code can be processed and linked by simple or extend-ed data formatting.Decoder Reading Area Smallest symbol in the barcode (the mil (mm) number at the front shows the size of the smallest function in the barcode)Possible distance between user and barcode4 mil (0.102 mm) Code 39 3.3 in./8.4 cm to 8.8 in./22.4 cm5 mil (0.127 mm) Code 128 2.8 in./7.1 cm to 8.2 in./20.8 cm5 mil (0.127 mm) Code 39 2.0 in./5.08 cm to 13.5 in./34.3 cm5 mil (0.127 mm) PDF417 3.1 in./7.9 cm to 8.4 in./21.3 cm10 mil (0.254 mm) DataMatrixExample: A 10 mil DataMatrix symbol that can carry 25 alphanumeric charac-ters has a size of 4.57 mm * 4.57 mm.2.9 in./7.4 cm to 10.1 in./25.7 cm100% UPCA 1.8 in./4.6 cm to 26.0 in./66.0 cm20 mil (0.508 mm) Code 39 2.0 in./5.08 cm to 30.0 in./76.2 cmDecoder Settings The ProGlove Mark automatically detects barcodes when the user activates the trigger. The ProGlove MARK supports dierent reading congurations, which are described below:• Pick-List mode: The LED pointer is activated. MARK will only read LED bar-codes.• Manual (default): The scan unit starts capturing images when you press the shutter release button. As soon as a barcode is detected in the scan eld it is automatically decoded and transmitted.• Display mode: When scanning barcodes from displays or digital displays the ProGlove MARK can compensate for reections and detect barcodes faster via the display mode.The ProGlove conguration tool can be used to change the trigger modes.

28 ProGlove Mark - User Manual6. PROGLOVE MARK FAQFrequently Asked QuestionsThe Scanner MARK / Access Point / Charging Station1.1 How much does the scanner MARK weigh? What are the dimensions? Is the MARK harmful to the user while working?ProGlove MARK has been designed to be a part of the users natural movements. With a weight of 1.4 oz, there is no additional load during manual work. Due to its compact size of 2 x 1.75 x 0.5 in, ProGlove MARK does not interfere with work in conned spaces (e. g. assembly) in most cases. In addition, the scanner can be worn on both the left and right hand so that it can be adapted to any work situation.1.2 How long does the battery last in daily operations?The ProGlove MARK’s battery pack is designed for a shift of 8 hours with 2000-3000 scans. Due to environmental inuences and depending on the application, devia-tions may occur. For multi-shift operation, two scanners are therefore required for each workstation, which are used alternately. The scanner‘s battery is fully charged within approximately 3 hours.1.3 Which barcode types can be scanned?All common 1D and 2D barcode standards can be scanned with the ProGlove MARK.

Depending on the size and type of the barcode (and external fac-tors such as light), the distance for optimum detection of the barcodes is 6-24 in.1.5 Is the scanner harmful to my eyes?In ProGlove MARK, a camera and LEDs are used to detect the barcodes. The scanner is classied in accordance with IEC-62471 as a risk-free device which does not pose any photobiological hazard.
29ProGlove Mark - User Manual1.6 Is it possible to scan DPM barcodes (direct part marking)?DPM barcodes can be recorded with the ProGlove MARK, but the individual appli-cation should be tested. Due to numerous factors, the performance of needled or lasered barcodes can be limited.1.7 Can several barcodes be detected at the same time?Several barcodes cannot be detected at the same time. However, a barcode can contain several pieces of information (e. g., ArtNr, batch, weight, etc.) that can be analyzed and decoded via the access point - e. g., ArtBNr[TAB]Charge[TAB]Weight[ENTER].1.8 Is the scanner protected against dust and water?The ProGlove MARK is designed for use in industrial environments. The scanner is protected against dust and water on all sides and has the IP rating IP54 according to DIN EN 60529. 1.9 At what temperatures can the ProGlove MARK be used?The ProGlove MARK is designed for use at temperatures between 32 to 120°F. The ProGlove MARK can function in sub zero environments (e.g. Freezer Storage) but no long term tests have occurred to date. Therefore, use below freezing is not rec-ommended.1.10 Can barcodes be read at an oblique angle or on the head?Yes, the ProGlove MARK can detect barcodes rotated both horizontally and verti-cally. A rotation on its own axis (upside down) does not limit the scan performance.1.11 How is data transferred from the MARK to the access point?The data transmission between the ProGlove MARK and the Access Point takes place via the frequency 915 MHz. This frequency band can be used royalty-free and is reserved for short-range devices (e.g. radio microphones). Data transmission only takes place after a successful decoding event. Therefore, ProGlove is a system with low radiation exposure.1.12 Can the data be transferred via Bluetooth or WiFi?No, the data transfer between the MARK and the Access Point is carried out in the sub 1GHz range (frequency 915 MHz) (see 1.11). 1.13 Can the Scanner MARK automatically change the access point depending on the network strength (roaming) or be connected to several access points? Automatic switching of the connection to dierent access points (roaming) is not possible. MARK is connected to a single access point by scanning the pairing bar-code. However, it is possible to connect several MARKs to one access point.1.14 Does the ProGlove MARK have electromagnetic compatibility (EMC, EMC, ETSI) certication? The ProGlove MARK is certied as electromagnetically compatible according to DIN EN 301489-1/-3 and EN 300220-2. The system thus meets the legal require-ments for short-range radios (SRD).
30 ProGlove Mark - User Manual1.15 Does the ProGlove system collect user data?No, the ProGlove system is only used to transmit scanned barcode data. User data about the worker, e. g. name of the operator Movement proles, location and e-ciency gures are neither recorded nor transmitted.1.16 How is the Access Point connected to my system?The following interfaces allow us to connect the access point to a system or termi-nal:USB-HID: Emulated keyboard input. Simplest solution, works via Plug & PlayUSB-CDC: Emulated serial interface. Driver installation required for this. Provided by ProGlove.RS232: Serial interface (additional external power source required).No further installation of software is necessary.1.17 Do access points interfere with each other if there are several access points in the same room?No, we use a frequency algorithm to ensure that there is no interference between the access points. 1.18 Is the ProGlove MARK compatible with all ERP systems?The ProGlove emulates a keyboard with the access point, thus the ProGlove system is independent of third-party software. The ProGlove MARK is compatible with SAP, Oracle, Infor, Sage, Excel, text editor - the IPC / Terminal receives the translated barcode as input. 1.19 Can several MARKs be connected to one access point?It is possible to connect several MARKs to one access point. For example, a work-station would be possible where several users scan barcodes and send them to an input mask of the ERP system. However, it is not possible to trace which user sends the data to the system. In most cases, a user can only operate one input mask - this requires two individual access points, which are connected to a MARK scanner.1.20 How long does it take to charge a battery?A complete charging cycle of a scanner MARK takes about 3 hours. During charg-ing, the LED of the devices lights up red. If two devices are charged simultaneously in the charger, the charging time does not change. As soon as the battery is fully charged, the LED of the unit will turn green.1.21 Is there a charging station with more than two charging stations?No. Currently there is only one charging station for two MARK scanners.1.22 Is there a way to increase battery life?By individually adjusting the scanner MARK it is possible to increase the battery life. The following settings can be made for this:The Feedback option can be muted in the conguration tool under Device Set-tings / Feedback Settings / Feedback Prole.The Sleep Mode setting of the MARK scanner can also be shortened. These settings can be made under Device Settings / Energy Settings / Sleep Mode. All unused barcode types should be deactivated under Barcode Settings. If only 1D barcodes are used: Activate the function Fuzzy 1D Processing under Device Settings / Engine Settings.
31ProGlove Mark - User ManualProGlove Standard Glove2.1 How long does the ProGlove Standard glove last?Depending on the application, our gloves last from a few shifts (in production and assembly) up to several weeks (in some logistic applications). We have wear and tear data available upon request.2.2 What sizes of the ProGlove Standard gloves are oered? The gloves are available in sizes 7 (small women‘s hand) to 10 (large men‘s hand). The gloves come in 5 pair packs with either a left or right hand fastening clip for the scanner.Hint: If the glove is worn too small, it can lead to pressure marks on the back of the hand. Furthermore, if the gloves are too small, the scanner can be accidentally triggered by simply bending the nger.2.3 To what extent does the ProGlove standard glove protect against me-chanical stress (cut protection, tear resistance, etc.)? The ProGlove Standard Glove is classied as a protective glove against mechanical risks and covers most requirements for use in industrial environments. The perfor-mance classication 2131 is covered in accordance to the basic standard EN 420 and the specic standard EN 388.Abrasion resistance: Level 2 Cut resistance: Level 1Tear resistance: Level 3 Puncture resistance: Level 12.4 How often can the scan button on the ProGlove standard glove be trig-gered?The switch is designed for up to 300,000 trips. The trigger is reinforced with a Dia-mond polyacrylic cap to ensure long life under intensive use.2.5 Does the ProGlove Standard glove have ESD certication (Electrostatic Discharge)?The ProGlove Standard Glove is designed for use in manufacturing, assembly, and logistics and therefore has no ESD certication. A special version of the ProGlove Longlife was developed for use in ESD applications (see 3.1).2.6 Can a tablet be operated with the ProGlove Standard glove?This depends on the tablet. Our ProGloves have worked seamlessly with all com-mon tablets so far. These tablets can be easily operated with our gloves.2.7 Can the ProGlove Standard glove be recycled?ProGlove is registered with the Foundation „Elektro-Altgeräte Register“ (electron-ic waste register) in accordance with ElektroG and thus ensures that customers have the possibility to return their old equipment and act in compliance with the law.

32 ProGlove Mark - User ManualProGlove Longlife 3.1 In which sizes is the ProGlove Longlife available?The ProGlove Longlife is available in three dierent sizes (S, M, L). Thanks to a dirt-repellent industrial Velcro fastener, the cu can be individually adapted and quickly put on and taken o. The variable closure system therefore enables an op-timal t on dierent hand sizes and shapes with the best wearing comfort.3.2 Can accidental scanning occur due to the trigger in the palm? Accidental scanning due to gripping movements is prevented by an integrated plastic protective ring, which adapts to the palm of the hand by means of an elastic foam.3.3 Why was the trigger on the ProGlove Longlife placed into the palm of the hand?The ProGlove Longlife has been designed as an overwrap which can be worn over the free hand or over other gloves. The positioning of the trigger in the palm of the palm also allows the user to wear very thick or special gloves (e. g. cold protection or cut protection class 3). The trigger is placed in the depression of the palm of the hand so that triggering is a natural hand movement. Thanks to ergonomic and medical examinations and cooperation with a hand surgeon, it was possible to determine the optimum position for the trigger button.3.4 Does the ProGlove Longlife have ESD certication (electrostatic dis-charge)?Yes - a special version of the ProGlove Longlife was developed for use in ESD ap-plications (electronics production). This is suitable and certied according to D-3-00036 or DIN EN 61340-5-1 for use in the ESD area.
