Figure 2. Label Location on the Bottom of the Scanner with Example Caution To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner 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 requirements for a limited power source.
Cable Removal Disconnect the power supply from the PowerLink cable and turn off power to the host system before removing the cable from the scanner. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the front side of the scanner near the end of the handle.
Connect AC power to the transformer. Turn on the host system. 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.
NSTALLATION RS485 Turn off the host system. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the MVC cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS5145. Connect the other end of the MVC cable to Port 9 of the host device. Turn on the host device See page 5.
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.

Mode, please refer to the USB section of the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide (00-02544X). 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.

MetroSelect Configuration Guide. One Beep – On Power Up The green LED will turn on, then the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. The red LED will remain on for the duration of the beep. The scanner is now ready to scan.
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep. If the red LED does not flash and the scanner does not beep, then the bar code has not been successfully read.
Return the unit for repair to an Authorized Service Center. Continuous Razzberry Tone with no LEDs If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the scanner has an experienced an electronic failure. Return the unit for repair to an Authorized Service Center.

String Sent to Scanner = 02h 31h 30h 30h 31h 30h 34h 03h (All values are hexadecimal). If the command sent to the scanner is valid, the scanner will respond with an [ack]. If the command sent to the scanner in invalid, the scanner will respond with a [nak].

This mode uses the current Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits and Data Bits settings that are configured in the scanner. The default settings of the scanner are 9600, Space, 2, 7 respectively. If a command is sent to the scanner to change any of these settings, the change will NOT take effect until after serial configuration mode is exited.

The scanner will beep three times! This example illustrates two important points. First, if an invalid command is sent from the host, the scanner responds with a [nak] and the end-user must start over from the beginning. Second, if a command is sent to change the Baud Rate, the new baud rate does not take effect until after the end-user exits configuration mode.
ROUBLESHOOTING The following guide is for reference purposes only. Contact a customer service representative (see page 44) to preserve the limited warranty terms. Symptoms All Interfaces The unit has no LEDs, beep or laser. At power up the unit beeps two times and alternately flashes the LEDs.

Verify the type of bar code being read has been selected. Verify the bar code being scanned falls into the configured criteria. The scanner defaults to a minimum of three-character bar code. If the unit is setup to support ACK/NAK, RTS/CTS, XON/XOFF...

Caps Lock. Try operating the scanner in Alt mode. Check to make sure the baud rate and parity of the scanner and the port match and that the configuration is looking for “RS232” data. Check to make sure the unit is connected to the correct com port on the host device.
This program is for demonstration purposes only. It is only intended to prove that cabling is correct, the COM port is working, and the scanner is working. If the bar code data displays on the screen while using this program, it only demonstrates that the hardware interface and scanner are working.
Host applications. The MS5145 Keyboard Wedge Series (-47) is designed for keyboard emulation only. Many RS232 configurable functions available in other Honeywell scanners are also available as keyboard wedge functions. The following are the most important selectable options specific to keyboard...
The scanner is shipped from the factory configured to a set of default conditions. All default parameters of the scanner have an asterisk ( * ) marked in the default column. If an asterisk is not in the default column then the default setting is off or disabled.

Never attempt to look at the laser beam, even if the scanner appears to be nonfunctional. Never open the scanner in an attempt to look into the device. Doing so could result in hazardous laser light exposure. The use of optical instruments with the laser equipment will increase eye hazard.
