Honeywell MS5145 - 00 User manual

Introduction

Product Overview

The MS5145 Eclipse is a single-line, hand-held laser scanner.

Equipped with Honeywell’s patented CodeGate® technology,

Eclipse can be used in a wide variety of applications. CodeGate

technology allows the user toeasily target the desired bar code

and complete the data transmission with a simple press of a

button. This combination makes Eclipse a perfect selection for

menu scanning, point-of-sale, document processing and inventory

control.

With state-of-the-art scanning technology embedded inside, the

MS5145 Eclipse has a longer working range and a wider scan field

than a typical CCD. The width of the scan line grows as the

scanner moves further away from bar codes. In addition, the laser

beam pulses, making lining up bar codes easy and when the

scanner senses a bar code (CodeSense® Mode), the laser beam

automatically switches to scan mode and activates CodeGate to

ensure high-speed scanning and accuracy.

Many standard features are included such as: user configurable

Flash ROM, PowerLink user-replaceable cables, MetroSet®2 and

MetroSelect® configuration, and data editing (parsing).

Maintenance

Smudges and dirt on the unit’s window can interfere with the

unit’s performance. If the window requires cleaning, use only a

mild glass cleaner containing no ammonia. When cleaning the

window, spray the cleaner onto a lint free, non-abrasive cleaning

cloth then gently wipe the window clean.

If the unit’s case requires cleaning, use a mild cleaning agent that

does not contain strong oxidizing chemicals. Strong cleaning

agents may discolor ordamage the unit’s exterior.

Caution and Serial Number Labels

Figure 2. Label Location on the Bottom of the Scanner with Example

Caution: To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected

to the imager must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low

Voltage) according to EN/IEC 60950-1.

To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1/UL

60950-1 and norm EN/IEC 60950-1, the power source should meet

applicable performance requirem

ents for a limited power source.

Cable Installation and Removal

Installation

1. Insert the cable’s modular connector into the socket on the

scanner.

2. Pull gently on the cable strain relief to ensure the cable is

installed.

Note: If the PowerLink cable is not fully latched, the unit can

power intermittently.

Figure 3.

Removal

Disconnect the power supply from the PowerLink cable and turn

off power to the host system before removing the cable from the

scanner.

1. Locate the small ’pin-hole’ on the

front side of the scanner near the

end of the handle.

2. Bend an ordinary paperclip into the

shape shown.

3. Insert the paperclip (or other small

metallic pin) into the small ’pin-hole’.

There will be a faint ’click’ when the

connector’s lock releases.

4. Pull gently on the cable’s strain-relief

to remove the cable.

Installation

RS232, Light Pen or Laser Emulation

1. Turn off the host system.

2.Plug the male, 10-pin RJ45 end of the

PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket

on the MS5145.

3. Connect the 9-pin female end of the

PowerLink cable to the appropriate

communication port on the host device.

4. Plug the external power supply into the

power jack on the PowerLink cable.

5. Check the AC input requirements of the

power supply to make sure eth voltage

matches the AC outlet. The outlet must

be located near the equipment.

6. Connect AC power to the transformer.

7. Turn on the host system.

Installation Notes

Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC

does not guarantee that scanned information will

appear at the PC. A software driver and correct

configuration settings are also required for proper

communications to occur.

Powering the MS5145 directly from the host device

can sometimes cause interference with the operation

of the scanner or the computer. Not all computers

supply the same current. For this reason, using an

external power supply is recommended. For additional

information, contact a customer service representative.

All MS5145-00 scanners leave the factory with the

Laser Emulation Mode enabled. If recall defaults is

scanned while re-configuring the scanner the Laser

Emulation Mode will no longer be enabled. Refer to

the MS5145-00 Laser Emulation Mode section of the

MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide for in-

formation on enabling the Laser Emulation Mode.

See caution on page 5.

Keyboard Wedge

1. Turn off the host system.

2. Plug the male, 10-pin RJ45

end of the PowerLink cable

into the 10-pin socket on the

MS5145.

3. Disconnect the keyboard

from the host/PC.

4. Connect the Y ends of the

PowerLink cable to the key-

board and the host’s

keyboard port. If necessary,

use the supplied adapter

cable to make the

connections.

5. Plug the external power

supply into the power jack

on the Power Link cable.

6. Check the AC input require-

ments of the power supply

to make sure the voltage

Figure 7. Keyboard Wedge

matches the AC outlet. The

outlet must be located near

the equipment

7. Connect AC power to the transformer.

8. Turn on the host system.

Installation Note

Powering the MS5145-47 directly from the computer

can sometimes cause interference with the operation

of the scanner or the computer. Not all computers supply

the same current through the keyboard port, explaining

why a scanner may work on one computer and not

another. Contact a customer service representative if an

external power supply is required.

See caution on page 5.

Stand-Alone Keyboard

1. Turn off the host system.

2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male

connector into the jack on the Eclipse.

There will be a ’click’ when the

connection is made.

3. Connect the L-shaped plug of the

power supply into the power jack on

the PowerLink cable.

4. Make sure the AC input requirements

of the power supply match the AC

outlet. Connect the power supply into

an AC outlet. The outlet should be

near the equipment and easily

accessible.

5. Connect the PowerLink cable to the

keyboard port on the host system.

6. Turn on the host system.

Installation Note

Powering the MS5145-47 directly from the computer can

sometimes cause interference with the operation of the

scanner or the computer. Not all computers supply the

same current through the keyboard port, explaining why

a scanner may work on one computer and not another.

Installation Notes

As a default, the MS5145-38 leaves the factory with

USB Keyboard Emulation Mode enabled.

For information on configuring the MS5145-38 for

USB Serial Emulation Mode, please refer to the USB

section of the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration

Guide..

Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system

does not guarantee that scanned information will be

communicated properly to the host system. All

Eclipse’s are shipped already configured with a set of

factory defaults. Please refer to the MetroSelect

Single-Line Configuration Guide or MetroSet2’s help

files for instructions on changing the scanner’s factory

default configuration. The scanner and host system

must use the same communication protocols.
