PERATIONAL Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the jack on the Eclipse. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made. Connect the L-shaped plug of the power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable. Connect the power supply into an AC outlet.
NSTALLING THE CANNER TO THE YSTEM MS5145-00/9/11/14/41 Turn off the host system. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the jack on the Eclipse. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made. If the scanner is receiving power from the host system, skip to step #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 Metrologic Customer Service Representative if you require an external power supply. 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 60950.

OWER ABLE Disconnecting the PowerLink Cable Before removing the cable from the scanner, Metrologic recommends that the power on the host system is off and the power supply has been disconnected from the PowerLink cable. Figure 8. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the top of the unit near the bottom of the Eclipse logo.
CANNER ARTS Green & Red LEDs The MS5145’s laser pulses on and off when no bar code is presented, and stays on when it senses a bar code. The green LED remains on during normal pulse and scanning operation, and it blinks during power save mode. On a successful read of a bar code, the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once.

UDIBLE NDICATORS When the MS5145 scanner is operational, it provides audible feedback. These sounds indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). To change the tone, refer to the Configuration Guide.
ISUAL NDICATORS There is a red LED and a green LED on the MS5145. When the scanner is on, the activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner. Green and Red LEDs are off The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer.
ODES One Razzberry Tone on Power-up This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser or flipper subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair to a Metrologic Authorized Service Center. Continuous Razzberry Tone with all LEDs off If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the scanner has an experienced an electronic failure.
MetroSet This user-friendly Windows-based configuration program allows you to simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options. This program can be downloaded for FREE from Metrologic’ website (www.metrologic.com), or set-up disks can be ordered by calling 1-800-ID-METRO. Serial Programming This mode of programming is ideal for OEM applications. This mode gives the end-user the ability to send a series of commands using the serial port of the host system.

ROGRAMMING ODES During programming, the motor and laser turn off. YOU CANNOT SCAN A BAR CODE WHILE IN SERIAL PROGRAM MODE. There is a 20 second window between commands. If a 20 second timeout occurs, the scanner will send a [nak] and you must start over. To enter serial program mode, send the following command [stx]999999[etx].

The MetroSet2 program is a functional component of Metrologic’s new line of Flash- based scanners. This program allows the user of a Metrologic scanner to quickly upgrade to a new or custom version of software. It requires the use of a personal computer running under Windows 95 or greater and the use of a communication port.
ABELS Each scanner has one label on the underside of the unit. This label has the model number, date of manufacture, serial number, laser and caution information. The following is an example of this label.
