  • Page 3: Voyager Rf Scanner - Overview

    Product Overview The MS9530 Series Voyager RF is a wireless single line hand-held scanner with one bi-directional RF channel radio which provides about 20-30 meters portability. It has got a battery pack which can be removed from the unit to be charged through a Wall-Power supply in about 110 min.
  • Page 4: Base Station

    BASE STATION The Base Station is a interface decoder to which the Voyager is connected via a virtual RS232 port. Its function is to receive RF data from Voyager RF and transmit it to the Host. Therefore, all the standard features that can be used when connecting a RS232 device to a Base Station, as explained in the Base Station Configuration Guide, can be obtained from the Base Station when working with the Voyager RF.

  • Page 9: Fixing Voyager Rf Id Numbers

    FIXING VOYAGER RF ID NUMBERS This section explains how to fix an Identifier number to each Voyager RF. Basically, each Base Station can work with up to 5 VoyagerRF’s at the same time. To enable this facility, an Identifier Number (ID) must be configured to each Voyager RF.
  • Page 10 The system is ready to work. Please note again, that each time a Voyager RF is activated, it indicates its ID number just before linking with Base Station with steady RED and GREEN LED’s whilst the YELLOW LED flashes an appropriate number of times in relation to its ID number.
  • Page 11: Base Station Testing Barcode

    BASE STATION TESTING BARCODE The Base Station will accept all data from Voyager RF where the Base Serial Number is “0000000000”. Use this Test Barcode as Base Serial Number when programming the Voyager RF Serial Number to fix the Voyager RF in test Mode. This Barcode is for testing purposes and should NEVER can be considered as functional Base Station Serial Number.

    Guide. Meanwhile, the MetroSelect Single Line Configuration Guide is used to control scanner and reading parameters, the Base Station Configuration Guide is mostly used to control data transmission to Host. PC Windows Based programs are provided to configure both Base Station and Voyager RF units: MetroSelect2 (RF version) to configure Voyager RF via RF (not yet available).
