Sabre 1552 Scanner and MicroBar 9745 Base Station System Manual
Keyboard/Terminal and RS-232 (Host Port) Connector
The base can output data to keyboard wedge terminals, CRT terminals, and personal
computers. The base also provides direct RS-232 output.
Terminal selection may be programmed using "Plug and Play Selections" or the
"Terminal Interface Selections" in Chapter 2. Output data can be configured for your
application by using Chapters 2 through 5 (Output Parameters, General Operating, and
Symbology Menus).
External Power Connector
DC power to the base can come from an external power supply or from the terminal to
which the base is connected. External power is provided through a two-position barrel-
type connector on the base's back panel. The input voltage range is 4 VDC to 14 VDC
and the schematic diagram is shown below.
