connectors on the rear panel which
accept circular, twist-lock, sealed
socket connectors. The center 9-pin
trigger connector is covered with a
removable dust cap.
A connector kit (P/N 98-200003-01) is
included with your scanner. The kit con-
tains a 9-pin socket connector kit (P/N 200002-01), a 28-pin cable connector kit
(P/N 98-200001-01), and related pins, clamps, screws, and dust seals.
Use the 28-pin connector kit (P/N 98-200001-01) as part of your host cable
assembly for connection with the 28-pin socket connector. (See
page
1-9.)
Use the 9-pin socket connector (P/N 98-200002-01) to mate with the 9-pin
power connector (see
the 9-pin trigger connector (see
Note: The 9-pin cable connector kit (P/N 98-200002-01) will mate with either
the power connector or the trigger connector.
Under ideal conditions, maximum
cable lengths can meet the distances
shown in table 1-2. However, since
cable lengths and sizes are dictated
by local conditions such as wire size,
shielding, grounding, extraneous sig-
nal noise, etc., maximum cable dis-
tances will vary.
Several pins are repeated on different connectors. For example, you can
apply power optionally through the host or trigger connector, as well as the
power connector. You can also use pins 7 and 9 of either the trigger or
power connectors to route current through internal relay contacts which
open or close according to user-determined conditions (a noread, a match,
or a mismatch). The same pulse that drives this internal relay sends a TTL
pulse (high or low) to pin 6 on the host and pins 8 of both the trigger and
power connectors. If no data is decoded, a noread pulse is output to pin 6 of
the host connector. (See
