Code Reader 2500 - Cabled
The Code Reader 2500 (CR2500)
is a Multi-Interface Unit (MIU)
Figure 11
and is available with USB (6 ft. or
12 ft.), RS-232 and PS/2 cables.
All of the cables are connected
to the CR2500 with a 8-pin DIN
connector.
Figure 13
Hand Held CR2500 - To install a cable directly to the CR2500, correctly line up the 8-pin
DIN connector into the back end of the unit. The arrows on the connector should be facing
down (Figure 1). When the unit and the cable connector are lined up, fi rmly push the cable
into the reader. The cable has a locking mechanism that will fi rmly hold the cable in place
(Figure 2). To unattach the cable from the reader, you must pinch the plastic on the 8-pin
DIN and pull back to disengage the connector.
CR2500's unique targeting
function uses two converging
targeting LEDs to guide the
user to optimal reading range.

8-pin DIN connector is at the bottom of the handle (Figure 3). Insert the 8-pin connector
and fi rmly push the cable into the handle. The cable has a locking mechanism that will
fi rmly hold the cable in place. If using the H2 cabled handle, for additional stability, there is
an optional cable attachment clip that can secure the cable to the handle with two threaded
screws (Figure 4). Screws shall be tightened to a torque setting of 2 inch-lbs.
