BC-80X0

USING THE BC-80X0 RADIO CRADLE

The BC-80X0 cradle, paired with one or more Powerscan™ M8300 readers,

builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission

of barcoded data.

It can be connected to a Host PC through an RS-232, USB, Wedge or Pen

cable and is suited for single-cradle point-to-point layouts. It can also be

connected to a C-BOX and therefore integrated into a fixed scanner application.

The BC-8060 models also allow multi-cradle layouts through an RS-485

Network. For this network connection refer to the Powerscan™ D8330/M8300

Reference Manual.

The label on the cradle contains LED indicators and a scan finder button.

When the button is pressed, the cradle transmits a “broadcast” message. All

properly configured scanners (Radio RX Timeout set to keep the radio “awake”)

that are linked to that base (through a bind or a join sequence) and within radio

range coverage will emit a beep sequence once every 2 seconds for 30

seconds. This functionality is useful to:

- verify which scanners are linked to a certain base station

- detect a scanner forgotten somewhere

The LEDs signal the BC-80X0 status, as described in the following table:

LED

STATUS

Aux

Yellow On = BC-80X0 is powered through an external power supply.

Yellow Blinking = BC-80X0 transmission occurs over the Host port.

Host

Yellow On = BC-80X0 is powered by the Host.

Yellow Blinking = BC-80X0 transmission occurs over the Host port.

Reader

Green On = the reader battery is completely charged.

Red On = the reader battery is charging.

Orange Blinking = reader battery fault – replace battery.

Red / Green Alternatively Blinking = charging error - see Ref. Manual

Spare*

Green On = the spare battery is completely charged.

Red On = the spare battery is charging.

Orange Blinking = spare battery fault – replace battery.

Red / Green Alternatively Blinking = charging error - see Ref. Manual

* This LED refers to the accessory SBS-8000 Spare Battery Slot when mounted to the BC-8060. Not

available for BC-8010 models.
