Quick Start Instructions The basic steps below must be performed to set up the RF scanner. Each of these steps is detailed in this manual. • • • • • User’s Guide Installing the Battery Verifying Scanner Operation Connecting the Base Station to the Host Terminal Linking the Scanner to a Base Station Verifying Scanner-to-Base Station Communications Installing the Battery To assure maximum usage, batteries should always be fully charged before their initial use. (See “Battery Charging and Maintenance” on page 8.) NOTE Orient the battery as shown in Figure 1, then push it into the scanner until it snaps in place. To remove the battery, push in on the release tabs on both sides of the battery’s base and pull it straight out of the scanner. Figure 1. Installing the Battery 1. Battery Release Tabs PowerScan® RF Scanner Verifying Once a charged battery has been installed in the scanner, scan the samScanner ple bar codes in the back of this manual that correspond to the symbolOperation ogies your scanner is programmed to read. If unsure how to do this, see the section on How to Scan in this manual. The system may signal with one or a combination of indicators depending upon how the scanner and Base Station are programmed to respond (see LED and Beeper Indications for details). If your scanner fails to read a sample bar code of a symbology it’s programmed to read, turn to the section titled, Troubleshooting. Power Supply Models require either a Listed class II or class III with a Limited Power Source (LPS). For the safety certification to be valid, class III input power sources must be IEC/EN60950-1 (EN 60335-series, EN 60065 or relevant) approved. Input: 100 - 240 VAC Output: 9 - 10 VDC Max. Current: 2.0 A Max. Power: 20 W For 4-slot battery charger: Input: 100 - 240 VAC Output: 12 VDC Max. Current: 2.5 A Max. Power: 30 W Connecting the Base Station to the Host Terminal It is important that the interface (I/F) cable be connected to the Base Station prior to applying power to the system. This is because the interface type (RS-232, IBM, Keyboard Wedge, etc.) is selected by the Base Station subject to the I/F cable it is connected to at the time of power-up. NOTE 1. User’s Guide Connect the I/F cable to the Base Station (see Figure 2A). The I/F cable is inserted into the connector and the cable retainer clip is rotated over the cable overmold until the retainer snaps in place (see Figure 2B). To disconnect the cable, push in on the retainer (away from the catch on the plastic wall) to release it and enable it to swing upward, allowing the cable to be pulled free (see Figure 2C). Figure 2. Connecting/Disconnecting the Interface (I/F) Cable 2. Consult your Host Terminal manual to determine the required communication parameters for the Host Terminal (e.g., baud rate, parity, etc.) and, if necessary, modify the programmed parameters to be compatible with those requirements. Scanner and Base Station programming is performed using one of the following: - Configurator Express™ Programming Software - PowerScan® Bar Code Scanner Programming Guide See References for more information about how to obtain software and manuals for this product. NOTE CAUTION The Host Terminal manual should also be consulted as to whether power must be turned off before connecting peripheral devices. Ensure that the correct procedure is followed to avoid damage to equipment or interruption of system functions. 3. Connect the I/F cable to the proper port on the Host Terminal (check your Host Terminal manual to determine hardware requirements). 4. Connect the AC Adapter's power cord at the Base Station and plug the AC/DC adapter in at the wall outlet (see Figure 3). PowerScan® RF Scanner The Base Station’s POWER LED should be illuminated when the unit is properly connected to power. Figure 3. Connecting Power to the Base Station 5.

Verify communication with the Host Terminal by aiming the linked scanner at a sample bar code from the back pages of this manual, and pulling the trigger (see How to Scan for tips about scanning bar codes). Confirm that the scanner/Base Station sent the data to the host terminal. If not, see the section, Troubleshooting. Once all communications are verified, the system is ready for use. Linking the To link a scanner to a Base Station, simply scan the Base Station ID bar Scanner to a code located on the top of the desired Base Station. As the scanner Base Station searches for the Base Station, a short beep is heard as it seeks for the correct channel. When the Base Station responds to the request, the scanner’s beeper will either sound a "Link Granted," or "Link Denied" signal (see the section, LED and Beeper Indications for more information). User’s Guide The existing Base Station system configuration can be automatically downloaded to the scanner. This automatic download feature is configurable and can be disabled. See the Systems Manual for more information about this feature. If downloading occurs, a slight delay with link verification announcement will occur. CAUTION Since a new/replacement scanner may have been shipped with a custom configuration or may have been modified with other special programming, it may not be desirable to download a potentially older configuration from an existing Base Station. In this case, reference the Systems Manual, or the Configurator Express™ On-Screen Programming Software and consider uploading the scanner’s newer configuration to the Base Station prior to linking. PowerScan® RF Scanner Verifying Scanner-toBase Station Communications Point the linked scanner at a sample bar code from the back pages of this manual, and pull the trigger (see How to Scan for tips on scanning bar codes). Watch the TX/RX (transmit/receive) indicator LED on the Base Station and/or scanner green LED while scanning the bar code. The LEDs should flash momentarily as the two devices communicate. If no communication is indicated, refer to the troubleshooting section of the Systems Manual. When the scanner is programmed to do so, communication can also be indicated by a second "acknowledgement" tone1 that is sounded after a "good read" tone. If a transmission error beep (warble) is heard following a "good read" tone instead of the single acknowledgement tone, communication between the devices may have failed2. Refer to the sections Using the PowerScan RF System, and Troubleshooting for possible remedies, should this occur. Mexico ONLY CAUTION Operation in Mexico must voluntarily be restricted to channels 1,2,8 and 9. See RF Channel Selection in the Systems Manual to set channels. The frequency range on channels 3 through 7 have been allocated by Mexico government standards. 1. See LED and Beeper Indications for more details about beeper signals. 2. Other reasons for a "warble" are that the Base Station may be configured differently than the scanner, or that the system’s interface doesn’t support the symbology (bar code type) you’re trying to scan. User’s Guide Using the PowerScan RF System This section covers the following topics: • Battery Charging and Maintenance • How to Scan • LED and Beeper Indications Battery Charging and Maintenance NOTE When the scanner is in use, a low battery condition is indicated by a repeated two-flash signal from the scanner’s green LED every time the trigger is pulled before the laser is enabled. This indicator may have been disabled via custom programming. See LED and Beeper Indications for more information. Seat the scanner in the Base Station as shown in Figure 4, ensuring that the battery fully engages the station’s metal contacts. The CHARGE LED on the Base Station should flash, indicating the battery is charging. Figure 4. Charging the Battery PowerScan® RF Scanner Rapid flashing indicates that charging is taking place. Rapid charging occurs when the battery temperature is between 10°C (50°F) and 46°C (115°F), and/or voltage of the battery is between 2.0 and 3.2V. Charge time is less than 4.2 hours. Rapid charge ends with the battery at approximately 90 to 95% capacity. The CHARGE LED remains on steady when trickle charging or after the charge cycle is complete. A scanner may be charged simultaneously while other scanners are in use with the Base Station. NOTE NOTE Batteries will not charge if their temperature is below 0°C (30°F). If a battery that is too cold is inserted into the Base Station, the Charge LED will not illuminate. Tips for Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries will better hold a charge if Extending allowed to discharge at least once a week. The chemical reactions that Battery Life correspond to charge and discharge in a rechargeable battery should occur to obtain the maximum number of charge/discharge cycles in the battery. If a battery is removed from the scanner and stored, it should be fully charged when stored. Batteries will lose the ability to hold a charge when stored for long periods of time (weeks, months, or longer). Batteries will typically have about 30% charge capacity when shipped. To assure maximum usage, the battery should be fully charged before use. Store your battery in a cool dry place. Do not leave your battery exposed to direct sunlight or temperatures below 0°C (30°F) and above 38°C (100°F). Annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs is recommended, to ensure maximum performance. NOTE User’s Guide Disposing of There presently are no US, North America or World disposal requireBatteries ments for NiMH batteries, so when they won't hold a charge anymore, the batteries can be disposed of, preferably through a recycling center. Four Station If you have a Four Station Charger, batteries are inserted for charging Charger as shown in Figure 5. A 90% rapid charge can be achieved in only two hours when using this optional accessory, half the time than when a Base Station is used for charging. The LEDs at each battery station operate the same as the CHARGE LED on the Base Station, with rapid flashing indicating that rapid charging is taking place and on steady during trickle charging or when the rapid charge cycle is finished. NOTE If you insert a battery into the Four Station Charger and no LEDs illuminate, the battery may be too cold. Batteries must be at 0°C or higher to charge. Do not attempt to charge cold batteries, since placing them in the charger will curtail the charging of other batteries already present in the unit. Figure 5. Using the Four Station Charger Accessory 1. 10 Device Power LED 2. Station Charge LEDs PowerScan® RF Scanner How to Scan Figure 6 illustrates some tips to help get the best scanning results: 1. The scanner must be pointed at a slight angle to the bar code. Do not hold the scanner perpendicular to the bar code. 2. The laser beam must cross the entire bar code. The scanner cannot correctly read if the entire bar code is not scanned. Figure 6. Scanning Tips User’s Guide 11 Depth of Field There are currently four different range models for the scanner. Depending upon the model type of your scanner, you’ll need to hold the unit at a given distance from the bar code to achieve optimum scanning results. The following diagrams provide depth of field information for each of the models when scanning grade A, Code 39 bar codes: Standard Range (SR), High Density (HD), Long Range (LR) and Extra Long Range (XLR). Definition of a "mil" A "mil" is equal to 0.001 inches. In the context of the illustrations in this section, a mil represents the minimum bar code element width. Thus a 5 mil bar code would have a minimum element width of 5 mils (or 0.005 inches). Measurements are based on SR models set with the standard 28° scan width (as opposed to the Half Angle setting of 14°). Reference the Programming Manual for more information about the Half Angle feature. NOTE Specifications are subject to change without notice. Figure 7.
