Microscan Quadrus™Microscan Quadrus 2D Code Reader 2D Code Reader 

Microscan Quadrus is a compact fully integrated 2D code reader. Includes decoder, internal optics, and built-in lighting. Quadrus reads Data Matrix symbology from moving parts regardless of label orientation.

  • Read/minute: 300

  • Focal points: 3.0" (7.62cm) to 4" (10.16cm) depending on Reader
    5, 7.5, 10, and 15mil options are available

  • Reads Data Matrix ECC 0-200

  • 10 to 28 VDC input

The Quadrus fixed-mount 2D code reader integrates the camera lens, reader/decoder and light source into a compact, rugged enclosure. The Quadrus is equipped with a state-of-the-art image sensor, microprocessor, and custom lensing. Illumination is provided by an array of 20 high-output LEDs. The Quadrus features built in controls (I/Os, match code routines, trigger lines, etc.)

The new Quadrus 3.0 Data Matrix reader has two new and important software features.

  • Autocalibration

  • Image processing database

  • Fully-integrated

  • IP65 enclosure

  • Easy Setup Program (ESP™)

  • Dynamic reading

  • Real time control features

  • Calibrated focal points

  • Downloadable software

Service options include

  • Installation assistance program

  • Service agreements

  • Training

  • On-site service

  • Extended warranty

Symbologies
The Quadrus reads Data Matrix ECC 0-200 symbology. This is a highly secure and readable code even when torn, damaged or in poor condition. Other symbologies are forth-coming.

Features and Benefits

  • Autocalibration
    Reduces set up time substantially; now a point and one click process; longest set up time is approximately 30 seconds

  • Image processing database
    The Quadrus can recall up to 20 unique, user pre-defined CCD camera settings for reading a wide variety of data matrix symbols

  • Adaptive edge detection algorithm
    Reads labels with contrast variability; both from symbol to symbol and within a symbol

  • Adaptive edge detection algorithm
    Reads low contrast labels

  • Narrow margins - 2x quiet zone
    Reads space constrained labels with small margins (8 pixels)

  • More robust reading with edge detection algorithms in adaptive mode
    Reads symbols more robustly yet at same throughput of 5 decodes per second

  • Much faster decode time when threshold is set to fixed mode
    Reads good quality black and white labels significantly faster yielding throughputs of up to 10 decodes per second

  • ESP™ Auto baud detect
    One click to establish communication

  • ESP™ save configuration file as K-command text file
    Allows customers to save configuration file for embedded use

  • ESP™ terminal data capture mode
    Customers can run tests and save data

  • Simplified ESP™ calibration menu
    Fewer options reduces set up time

  • Daisy chain ID
    Allows daisy chained Quadrus to have identification
