Introduction______________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________ aitronic
1-1
1. Introduction
The mobile terminals PMS 1200/1500, HTE 1800/1900 and MobiScan from aitronic
are usable in several ways for scanning barcodes and manually data capturing.
Different device types and options are available (refer to Technical Manual,
chapter 1 Device Types).
Depending on the type of the serial interface off- and online network applications
can be implemented.
For all devices in this manual the designation MT (Mobile Terminal) is used.
All PMS 1200/1500 device types in this manual are named PMS, all HTE 1800/1900
device types are named HTE. In general devices with keyboard include all functions
of devices without keyboard. In function descriptions which concern only to devices
with keyboards a particular reference is made.
Warning Hints____________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________ aitronic
2-1
2. Warning Hints
Laser Scanner Module
The mobile terminals PMS/HTE/MobiScan are equipped with a low power laser
diode for visible light. The wave length is 650 nm and the nominal laser power is 1,2
mW. The laser scanner meets the CDRH/IEC Class II requirements.
As with other strong light sources the operator should avoid looking directly into the
laser beam. Occasionally irradiation with CDRH/IEC Class II laser light is not known
to be injurious.
The required security labels are located below the laser light window.
Never open the laser module or perform any maintenance work at the module
because the laser security specification may be injured. The laser module may only
be repaired in the factory.
Accus
Attention! In case of improper handling of the accus there will be danger of
explosion. In case of waste disposal of used accus you should pay attention to the
Recycling Orders (look for chapter Recycling Orders/Battery Order).
At this point we want to explicitly attention to that we don’t overtake
guarantee for damages which are the consequence of wrong dealing with the
devices.
Security & Regulatory______________________________________________________

3. Security & Regulatory
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Care Instructions _________________________________________________________

4. Care Instructions
Your data capturing device with integrated laser scanner module is a high grade
and robust unit consisting of electronic and laser optic devices. An faulty treatment
of this device can considerable affect function and efficiency. To guarantee lasting
and constant operation you should consider the following care instructions!
Care of the Scanner
The red scanner screen of your terminal forms and the inner resided scanner
module form an optical unit. This screen is provided with a special coating. A
damage of this coating i.e. by scratches may lead to problems when scanning
barcodes. Because of this a clean and moist cloth should be used when cleaning
the screen. Before rough dirt may be removed with a soft brush. Cleaning agents
may not be used for the screens care and cleaning.
Terminal of the MobiScan family habe an aluminum case. All other scanners from
ours have a plastic case. Although both are robust materials for cleaning only a soft
cleaning angent should be used.
Dealing with the Devices Markings
The attached marking labels (warning and security labels) may not be removed on
principle. They are the legitimation for the operation with this terminal. Making the
terminals data plate or informations on the data plate (i.e. the serial number)
unrecognizable should be avoided. Missing information on the data plate may lead
to a more difficult identification. This may further lead to problems which couldn’t be
solved by telephone. In this case the terminal must be sent in.
Further we recommend the attachment of additional information (i.e. department or
personal numbers) labels with plastic back. Simple paper back labels aren’t durable
enough. In that way sticking parts may smudge the scanner screen. In this case on
the one hand the scanner function will be affected, on the other hand a cleaning
without ignoring the above instructions woun’t possible because a solvent would be
required.
Repairing Screen Damages
In case of overstress the screen may be loosen. We explicitly attention to that self
repairing with short time glue may affect in such strong way that the screen or the
casing must be changed.

Communication/Charging Adapter ____________________________________________

5. Communication/Charging Adapter
The Communication/Charging-Adapter deals
for connection a mobile terminal to an RS-
232 port of a PC or other computer. The
Communication/Charging-Adapter is equip-
ped with a fast charging device, which also
deals for loading the integrated mobile
teriminal accus.
Starting Operation
1. Switch of your computer.
2. Connect the RS-232 cable to the desired COM port of your PCs.
3. Connect the Communication/Charging-Adapters main plug to a 220 V AC outlet.

Switching on/off
The device switches on in case of
• hitting the keyboard (devices with numerical keyboard) respectively the power on
key (upper left, devices with alphanumerical keyboard),
• pressing the scanner switch,
• connecting the serial interface to a PC where an application is active which has
activated the RTS signal of the serial interface (not with devices with RF module
and LAP-EC).
In case of inactive signal CTS (this means: no charging/ transmission adapter is
connected or on the PC no application is active which has set the serial interfaces
signal RTS) and for the duration which is adjusted with configuration parameter
Power Off Time no operation is performed (hitting of keyboard/scanner switch or
data transmssion with a RF device) the device powers off automatical to economize
the integrated accumulators and therefore to guarantee an long operation time.
Manually switching off is performed by
• holding down key SHIFT and pressing key
* in case of using a device with
numerical keyboard. After releasing both keys the device switches off itself.
• pressing the power on key (upper left) in case of using a device with
alphanumerical keyboard.
LCD Displays
Normally the actual entry mask for article number (Standard Program 1 and 2) and
quantity (only Standard Program 1) is shown. Another display content (program
message or the a stored record in case of scanning through data memory) keeps
staying on LCD until the scanner switch or the keyboard is hit or until the device is
switched off.
With RF devices (only in case of an actual entry mask) the data net activity is shown
on the last LCD position. The symbol ∗ indicates that the device was polled from the
RF server with its address (serial no.). The symbol o indicates that the device was
polled from the RF server with the login address (000000). Normally this two
symbols are changing alternately in case of an logged in device. If only the symbol o
is shown the device is not logged in. If a device resides outside the active RF area
or the RF server is not active no one of those two symbols are shown.

Scanner Handling
Testing the Scanner
Hold the scanner above a light surface and press the trigger. Now you should se the
red laser beam on the surface and with the PMS 1500 the LED 'Scanning' should be
on.
Scanning Barcodes
Hold the scanner in front of a barcode and press the trigger. Notice the fol-lowing
operating tips:
• Vary the scanner position in that way that the laser beam sweeps the middle of
the barcode and overlaps it at both sides.
• The larger the barcode, the farther away you should hold the scanner.
• Hold the scanner closer for barcodes which are printed with a higher density.
• Hold the scanner not in a right angle to the barcode. In this position light can
bounce back into the scanner and influence the decoding perfor-mance or even
prevent decoding at all.
When the scanner has read the barcode
• you will hear the 'Decode Beep' (standard configuration: short double beep),
• with the PMS 1500 the LED 'Good Read' will turn on for a short time (standard
configuration: 3 seconds),
• and the laser beam will be switched off.
If you follow these instructions and fail to scan read section "If nothing functions"
below.
What does the different beeps mean?
Listen to the 'Decode Beep' (standard configuration: short double beep). This
means that the barcode has been decoded successfully.
A long error beep means that the selected function respectively the read barcode is
not valid.
If nothing functions
If you follow previous instructions and fail to scan:
• Ensure that the accumulators are charged.
• Make sure that the MT is configured for the barcode type which should be read.
• Make sure that the barcodes are not demaged or dirty. Check the barc-ode print
quality.
If you have performed these checks and the barcode still cannot be decoded
contact your authorized distributor.
System Functions_________________________________________________________

7-5
What should be notice with laser light devices
The laser scanners use a low-powerlaser diode for visible laser light. As wiht any
bright light source the user should avoid staring directly into the laser beam.
Momentary exposure to a CDRH Class II laser is not known to be harmful.
The required safety labels are placed below the laser light window and above the
trigger switch.
Manually Data Entry
Enter article number and quantity manual with keys 0…9 The cursor points to the
next entry position.
Use key C (respectiveley CLR in case of devices with alphanumeric keyboard) to
delete the character left beside the cursor.
Use key + to close the entry of the article number and to go to the quanity entry
field.
Use key * (respectiveley MENU in case of devices with alphanumeric keyboard) to
enter the point in case of decimal entries.
Pressing key + when the cursor resides in the quanity entry field the article number
and the quantity will be stored into data memory and the empty entry mask is shown
again.
Deleting Characters
By pressing key C (respectiveley CLR in case of devices with alphanumeric
keyboard) the character left beside the cursor is deleted. In case of empty entry field
the cursor jumps to the previous entry field. Single digits of a scanned barcode can't
be deleted. In this case there is only the option to delete the entire entry field.
Deleting Entry Field
Devices with numerical Keyboard
By holding down key SHIFT and pressing key C the entire entry field in which the
cursor resides is deleted.
Devices with alphanumerical Keyboard
Press key DEL instead of SHIFT C

Select next Entry Field
If there has been at least one digit entered in the article number field and there is a
quantity field available (Standard Program 1) this may be selected by pressing key
+.
Closing Entry and storing the Record
If there has been at least one digit entered in the last entry field the whole entry is
closed by pressing key +.
Storing of the record is performed if
• the configuration parameter Data Destination Memory is set,
• or the configuration parameter Data Destination SIO is set but the RS-232
signal DTR is not active.
The record is transmitted to the serial interface if the configuration parame-ter Data
Destination SIO is set and the RS-232 signal DTR is active.
After storing respectively transmitting the record to the serial interface the next
empty entry mask is shown.

8.3 Battery Low Procedure
In order to continue operation for a distinct time after the battery low level is reached
the first time (either about 3 minutes without switching on the scanner or switching
on the scanner about 25 times), the following 3-Phase-Procedure was implemented:
Phase 0 Normal operation, supply volage above battery low level, internal
Battery Low Counter = 0. If the battery low level is reached the first
time
− the message "Battery gets low, Close Operation!" is
displayed,
− the internal Battery Low Counter is set to 25,
− a change to Phase 1 happens.
Phase 1 Each 7 seconds respectively each time switching on the scanner
the Battery Low Counter is incremented if the supply voltage further
stays beyond the battery low level. If the Battery Low Counter
reaches the value 50 "Charge Battery!!" is displayed, a change
to Phase 2 happens and the device is switched off.
or
the Battery Low Counter is decremented if the supply voltage is
above the battery low level. A change to Phase 0 happens if the
Battery Low Counter reaches the value 0.
Phase 2 Each 7 seconds respectively each time switching on the scanner
the Battery Low Counter is decremented if the supply voltage is
above the battery low level. A change to Phase 0 happens if the
Battery Low Counter reaches the value 0.
or
if the supply voltage one more time reaches the battery low level the
Battery Low Counter is set to the value 565, "Charge Battery!!"
is displayed and the device is switched off.

For a software update the following steps must be performed:
• Connect device via charging/transmission-adapter to the desired COM to the
PC.
• Start program MTCON on the PC.
• If COM2 should be used this must be selected under Options/Serial Inter-
faces.
• Read the two following function barcodes:
Enable Load default
Function Codes Configuration
Öü$X1?ä Öüö*/öööösä
• Load desired S-File with function Functions/Software Update/S-File.
• If the required boot program version isn't already loaded (refer to table on
previous page) load boot program MTBOT.S with function Functions/Soft-ware
Update/S-File.
• When the boot program prompts ready load standard software MTSTDxxx.S
with function Functions/Soft-ware Update/S-File.
Although the standard software MTSTD is configurable concerning hard- and
software (exception: MTSTD can't be configured for the PSC Scanner with serial
LCD interface, with this device the special S-File must be loaded) for the different
device and communication types S-files are available. The nomenclature of the S-
files conforms to the following sheme:
MTSTDgp.S
SIO Protocol
_ no SIO Protocol,
F LAP-EC/RF,
G LAP-EC/RS-485-Cradle,
H LAP-EC/INAP.
Device Type
_ PMS 1200, PMS 1500 and hardware compatible devices,
P
PSC Scanner with serial LCD interface.
The underline '_' is only used if there are more parameters different from the
underline before the file extension.
Software Update__________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________aitronic
9-3
Examples: MTSTD.S Standard Software for PMS 1200/1500 and
compatible devices without SIO Protocol for
software update with MTCON or terminal
emulation program.
MTSTD_G.S Standard-Software für
PMS 1200/1500 and
compatible devices for connection to a RS-
485-Network. A software update must be
performed with MTCON or a terminal
emulation program.
The boot program (from v4.4) runs the software update with the actual parameters
(SIO parameter, protocol), so that it is possible to load software update via LAP-EC.
When the boot program is called it stores the actual parameters in Flash-ROM, so
that even after breaking off a software update a new run with these parameters is
possible. If it is not possible to run the software update with the actual parameters
the boot program can be set to the standard parameters if the reset button is
pressed during the RAM test after cold start.

Battery Order
Following the 'Verordnung über die Rücknahme und Entsorgung gebrauchter
Batterien und Akkumulatoren’ (shortcut: Batterieverordnung - BattV) BGBl I page
658 from 27.3.1998 manufacturers and distributors only may put batteries and
accumulators containing poisonous material into circulation if they ensure that the
consumer may return it back after usage. This Battery Order is also valid for salvage
devices which contain fixed installed batteries and accumulators.
In the same manner the consumer is bound to recycle used batteries and
accumulators following this Battery Order.
The complete (german) Battery Order may be inspected under Internet address
http://www.umweltrecht.de/recht/abfall/bat.htm
Our home page contains a corresponding link.
Therefore we offer a feeless returning back service (free to the door) for used
batteries and accumulators coming from our devices and also for complete salvage
devices coming from us which contain fixed installed batteries and accumulators to
our clients.
IT Salvage Devices Order
At the time this manual was printed only a draft of the ‘Verordnung über die
Entsorgung von Geräten der Informations-, Büro- und Kommunikationstechnik’ (IT-
Altgeräte-Verordnung - ITV) which was passed from the Bundeskabinett at
19.5.1998. Following this draft manufacturers and importers must take back salvage
IT devices to recycle it.

Data Transmission
Data transmission can be done with MTWIN or a client specific application.
With Charging/Communication Adapter or Infrared Cradle (offline)
Connect the charging/communication adapter or the infrared cradle to the
appropriate interface (default for MTWIN is COM1) of the PC and start MTWIN on
the PC.
With RS-485 Cradle or LAP-EC (offline)
Connect the RS-485-Cradle (resp. the RS-485 network) to the appropriate interface
(COM1 or COM2) of the PC and start PRONET on the PC.
With RF Modue and LAP-EC (online)
Connect the RF base station (accesspoint) to the appropriate interface (COM1 or
COM2) of the PC and start PRONET on the PC (refer to PRONET MANUAL).
With Charging/Communication Adapter (RS-232) or Infrared Cradle
The data transmission may be performed in several ways:
• Manual data transmission with the appropriate function codes or the appropriate
menu function.
• Calling the data via the serial interface from PC program MTWIN or from a client
specific application.
• In case of configuration parameter Start Data Transmission: PowerOn+
CTS or SIO Command set after switching on the terminal via interface line DTR
"Ready for Data Transmission" will be show on the LCD.
At the beginning of data transmission "Data Transmission active..." will be
shown an the captured data are transmitted.The end of data transmission will be
shown with "Data Transmission completed" angezeigt.
If the terminal is connected to the serial interface during data capturing and therefor
switched on all the time, the captured data may be called using the appropriate SIO
command.
ATTENTION: In case of infrared data transmission a finally error rate can’t be
prevented (below 1 promille). Therefor when using an infrared cradle the XModem-
protocol muss be used for data transmission!
Standard Program MTSTD__________________________________________________

With RF Communication or RS-485 Network and LAP-EC
In case of active LAP-EC the captured data are first stored in data memory. The
data transmission is then performed in background to the PC. An established data
connection between terminal and PC is required. This data connection is active
when the terminal is logged in and right below on the LCD the symbol o is shown.
When using an RS-485 cradle the terminal must be put into the cradle.
After the data transmission is successful performed the data transmission lock
should be set by SIO command T1 ("Data transmitted" will be shown). In this
condition the data memory may be cleared by SIO command CLRMEM or by
holding down key SHIFT and pressing key C (resp. key DEL in case of
alphanumerical keyboard).
The transmitted data have the following format:
%%STX-ssssss/rrrrr/tt.mm.jjjj/hh:mm:ss<CR><LF>
<artical no.><HT><quantity><CR><LF>
M M M M M
<artical no.><HT><quantity><CR><LF>
%%ETX-cccc<CR><LF>
rrrrr Amount of the following data records,
ssssss Devices serial number (refer to data plate),
tt.mm.jjjj Date of data transmission,
hh:mm:ss Time of data transmission,
cccc 16-Bit checksum in hex format. The checksum is calculated
starting with "%STX" up to "%%ETX-" included by adding all
printable ASCII characters (hex codes $20 up to $7E included).

Erasing the Data Memory
To clear the data memory manually the "Data transmitted". Condition is
required. This condition is reached after a succesful data transmission and/or by
setting the data transmission lock by SIO command T1.
Devices with numerical Keyboard
By holding down key SHIFT and pressing key C "Delete Data Memory?" will be
shown. After confirming with key + data memory will be cleared. All other key will
cancel this function.
Devices with alphanumerical Keyboard
Press key DEL instead of key SHIFT C.
