SAFETY PRECAUTIONS POWER SUPPLY ATTENTION: READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE INSTALLING THE PRODUCT - This product is intended to be installed by Qualified Personnel only. The C-BOX 3X0 is intended to be supplied either by a UL Listed NEC Class 2 power source, or a UL Listed ITE Limited Power Source (LPS), rated 10-30 V dc, minimum 0.5 A.
Terminating Resistors Bus Connectors Cable Shield When connecting up the C-BOX 3X0, it is recommended to observe the guidelines in the VDE 0100 regulations for handling electrical equipment. WEEE COMPLIANCE Terminating resistors must be used if the C-BOX is installed at the beginning or end of the PROFIBUS cable segment.
In the C-BOX 310, visualize the data packet sent by the scanner on the LCD. The C-BOX 300 / C-BOX 310 mechanical dimensions are 167 x 115 x 61 mm (6.57 x 4.53 x 2.40 in.). The C-BOX 300 weighs about 440 g (15.50 oz); the C-BOX 310 weighs about 500 g (17.60 oz).
Verify that the C-BOX 3X0 and all the parts supplied with the equipment are present and intact when opening the packaging; the list of parts includes: C-BOX 3X0 Installation manual C-BOX 3X0 configuration CD-ROM 2 mounting screws Figure 1 - C-BOX 3X0 Package Contents C-BOX 300/310...
INSTALLATION OPENING THE DEVICE To install the C-BOX 3X0 or during normal maintenance, it is necessary to open it by unscrewing the four cover screws: The C-BOX 3X0 must be disconnected from the power supply during this operation. CAUTION It is possible to perform the following operations: •...

INSTALLATION C-BOX 3X0 can be installed to operate in different positions. The two screw holes inside the housing of the C-BOX 3X0 are for mechanical fixture (Figure 4). To mount the C-BOX 3X0: Open the C-BOX 3X0 by unscrewing the 4 cover screws. If necessary, using the two mounting holes inside the device as a pattern, mark the panel with an appropriate object and then drill two holes in the panel.
After making system cabling and switch settings (see sub-paragraphs under 2.4 and 2.5), connect the scanner to the 25-pin connector on the left side of the C-BOX 3X0 housing. Switch ON the C-BOX 3X0 power switch (see Figure 6).
Power is supplied to the C-BOX 3X0 through the pins provided on the spring clamp connector. The power switch (see Figure 6) switches the power supply ON or OFF for both the C-BOX 3X0 and the connected scanner. Figure 6 - Power Switch ON/OFF Positions C-BOX The power supply must be between 10 and 30 Vdc only.

Make sure that the C-BOX is correctly grounded. WARNING The C-BOX 3X0 is protected against polarity reversal, a red LED signals this condition. When this condition occurs, all other C-BOX LEDs will be off until the power feed is connected with correct polarity. NOTE C-BOX 300/310...
INSTALLATION 2.4.2 System Wiring The connection and wiring procedure for C-BOX 3X0 is described as follows: Open the C-BOX 3X0 as described in paragraph 2.2. Verify that the C-BOX 3X0 power switch is off (see Figure 6). Unscrew the compression connectors and pass all the system cables through them into the C-BOX 3X0 housing.

The scanner chassis grounding method can be selected by positioning a jumper (see Figure 9). In this way the scanner chassis can be connected to earth ground (only if pins 7 or 8 are connected to a good earth ground) or to the power supply ground signal.
To connect C-BOX 3X0 as a Profibus DP Slave, use a standard Siemens Profibus cable with a 9-pin male connector (see DIN 19245 part 1) and plug it into the 9-pin female external connector. HUNDREDS TENS UNITS Figure 11 - Rotary Switches C-BOX 300/310...

PROFIBUS network application as described in the configurator's Help On-Line or User's Manual. Further information on PROFIBUS protocol and Flow control is provided in the C-BOX 300/310 PROFIBUS document and Help On- Line installed from the configuration CD provided in the C-BOX package.
Normal Operation (default): In this position, the C-BOX 3X0 is in the normal operating mode. It communicates with the scanner through the 9-pin internal connector and the scanner auxiliary serial interface. The internal connector pinout is illustrated in the following table:...
Page 28
CFG: When the switch is in this position, the C-BOX 3X0 is in configuration mode. The communication with the scanner is interrupted and pins 2 and 3 are no longer dedicated to the scanner auxiliary interface but to the C-BOX 3X0 configuration (see table below). The system enters configuration mode and waits to be configured through WinHost (see WinHost Help On Line).
OFF), the C-BOX 3X0 is ready to receive code strings from the scanner's RS232 main interface. Then, it converts them to the Profibus DP network. GET/TEST/SEND: Through the C-BOX 300 internal buttons and the C-BOX 310 external keypad, it is possible to communicate with the scanner to perform one of the following functions: •...
2.8.1 GET/TEST/SEND Functions The C-BOX 300 has three internal function buttons. In the C-BOX 310, they are also available on the cover, and their function is indicated on the display. The GET/TEST/SEND function is not compatible with Matrix readers. NOTE The procedure to enable the GET/TEST/SEND function is the following: Press both the left and right buttons at the same time for at least one second;...
Page 31
Once the buttons are released in step 1, a ten-second timeout starts. If no button is pressed within this time (no function is selected), the procedure will be cancelled. The C-Box 300 warning LED (Figure 16) is turned OFF at the end of NOTE each procedure.
