OM-DRAGON™

USING OM-DRAGON™ RADIO CRADLE

The OM-DRAGON™ cradle, paired with one or more DRAGON™ M series

laser guns, builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and

transmission of barcoded data.

It can be connected to a Host PC through an RS232, Wedge or Pen cable and

is suited for both single-cradle and multi-cradle layouts.

It can also be connected to a C-Box and therefore integrated into a fixed

scanner application.

To setup your OM-DRAGON™ cradle you must:

1. Physically install the cradle.

2. Make all system connections.

3. Configure the OM-DRAGON™ cradle.

DATALOGIC

INSTALLATION

The OM-DRAGON™ can be mounted for portable or fixed desktop usage, or it

can be fixed to a wall. In all cases, the mounting base must be used.

The OM-DRAGON™ package contains the following:

OM-DRAGON™ 3 screws

This Quick Reference Manual 3 threaded dowels

2 adhesive strips 1 alignment plate

4 rubber feet 1 Antenna

Figure 1 - OM-DRAGON™ Mounting Base bottom view

PORTABLE DESKTOP USE

For desktop use, the OM-DRAGON™ is already correctly positioned on the

base.

1. Referring to Figure 1, carefully clean the rubber feet seat of the base to

remove any impurities that could reduce adhesion.

2. Remove the protective plastic from the rubber feet and stick them onto the

bottom surface of the base.

3. Insert the antenna in the appropriate hole on the body of the cradle and

screw it clockwise until tight.

FIXED DESKTOP USE

For fixed desktop installation use the adhesive strips referring to Figure 1.

1. If you are installing several cradles and you desire to align them, you can

use the alignment plate (see Alignment Plate Installation), otherwise

continue with step 2.

2. Carefully clean the adhesive strip seat of the base to remove any

impurities that could reduce adhesion.

3. Remove the protective plastic from one side of the adhesive strips and

stick them onto the base surface.

4. Remove the plastic from the other side of the strips and affix the base to

the table.

5. Insert the antenna in the appropriate hole on the body of the cradle and

screw it clockwise until tight.

WALL MOUNTING

Since the OM-DRAGON™ is mounted on its base when delivered, before

performing the following operation, unscrew the fixing screw and detach the

cradle from the base by holding the base tight and pushing the cradle

backwards.

you desire to mount the OM-DRAGON™.

3. Drill three appropriate size holes.

4. Insert the threaded dowels into the holes.

5. Position the base on the wall and affix it by means of the three screws.

6. Reattach the cradle body by sliding it along the mounting tabs until aligned.

7. Fix the cradle to the base by means of the fixing screw. (See Figure 2).

8. Insert the antenna in the appropriate hole on the body of the cradle and

screw it clockwise until tight.

ALIGNMENT PLATE

1. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 4, snap the Alignment Plate into the holes

provided on the base so that the plate remains extended from the side of

the base.
