INTRODUCTION Metrologic's Cubit™ is a compact, omnidirectional bar code scanner that can be used as a presentation scanner or as the scanning component in Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) applications. Incorporating the latest in scanning technology Cubit™ can scan and decode all standard bar codes in any orientation. As an OEM product, the IS6520 is both easy to use and install. The IS6520 is equipped with three threaded mounting holes, serial programming and PowerLink quick-disconnect cables.
SCANNER AND ACCESSORIES The following is a list of the parts included in the IS6520/MS6520 Kit. • Cubit™ IS6520/MS6520 - Omnidirectional Scanning Engine • PowerLink Power Supply - AC to DC Power Transformer. Regulated 5.2 VDC @ 650 mA output.
QUICK START 1. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the jack on the Cubit™ IS6520/MS6520. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made. 2. Connect the L-shaped plug of the power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable. 3. Connect the power supply into an AC outlet. Make sure the AC input requirements of the power supply match the AC outlet. Ž Œ 4. • When the IS6520 is ready to scan, the green LED will turn on, the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. • 5.
INSTALLING THE IS6520-41/MS6520-41 TO THE HOST SYSTEM 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the jack on the Cubit™ IS6520/MS6520. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made. Note: If the Cubit™ IS6520 is receiving power from the host system, skip to step #5. (See caution statement below) 3. Connect the L-shaped plug of the power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable. 4. Connect the power supply into an AC outlet.
INSTALLING THE IS6520-47/MS6520-47 TO THE PC 1. Turn off the PC. 2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the jack on the Cubit™ IS6520/MS6520. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made. 3. Connect the L-shaped plug of the power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable. Refer to Manufacturer’s Recommendation below. 4. Connect the power supply into an AC outlet. Make sure the AC input requirements of the power supply match the AC outlet. 5.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 950/UL 1950 and norm EN 60950, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.
DISCONNECTING THE POWERLINK CABLES FROM THE SCANNER 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. •& Ž • Œ 1. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the back of the scanner. 2. Bend an ordinary paperclip into the shape shown above. 3. Insert the paperclip (or other small metallic pin) into the small ‘pin-hole’. 4. You will here a faint ‘click’.
SCANNER PARTS C B A D A. Speaker Serves as an audible indicator. B. Green & Red LEDs During normal operation, the green LED is on. This indicates that the laser is on and the unit is ready to scan. On a successful read of a bar code, the red LED will turn on. After communication to the host is complete, the red LED will turn off. The LEDs are also used as diagnostic indicators and mode indicators. C. Output Window Laser light emits form this aperture. D.
MOUNTING HOLES Each IS6520/MS6520 Cubit™ is equipped with three threaded mounting holes located on the back of the scanner. The following diagram shows the exact location of each mounting hole. The mounting holes are 6 millimeters deep and are threaded for use with 3 millimeter screws. Caution: Using a screw that is longer than 6 millimeters can potentially damage the scanner. 0 mm 20 mm (0") (0.8") 0 mm (0") 20 mm (0.8") 41 mm (1.6") 62 mm (2.4") 9 82 mm (3.
AUDIBLE INDICATORS When the IS6520/MS6520 scanner is in operation, 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 MetroSelect® Programming Guide MLPN 2407. One Beep When the scanner first receives power, the green LED will turn on, then the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. (The red LED will remain on for the duration of the beep.
FAILURE MODES Flashing Green and One Razzberry Tone This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center. Flashing Green and Red and Two Razzberry Tones This indicates the scanner has experienced a motor failure. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center. Continuous Razzberry Tone with Both LEDs Off If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the scanner has an electronic failure.
VISUAL INDICATORS There is a red LED and a green LED on IS6520/MS6520. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary, activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner. No Red or Green LED The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. Steady Green When the laser is active, the green LED is illuminated. The green LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated.
PROGRAMMING MODES The IS6520/MS6520 Cubit™ has 3 modes of programming. Bar Codes: Cubit™ can be configured by scanning the bar codes located in the MetroSelect® Configuration Guide (MLPN 2407). Please refer to this guide for instructions. This manual can be downloaded for FREE from Metrologic’s website (www.metrologic.com). MetroSet™: This user-friendly Windows-based configuration program allows you to simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options.
PROGRAMMING MODES (CONTINUED) 6. To enter serial program mode, send the following command [stx]999999[etx]. 7. To exit serial program mode, send the following command [stx]999999[etx], the scanner will respond with an [ack] and a long beep. 8. This mode uses the current Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits and Data Bits settings that are configured in the scanner. The default settings of the scanner are 9600, Space, 2, 7 respectively.
PROGRAMMING MODES (CONTINUED) EXAMPLE #3: The following example shows the events that occur when an invalid bar code is sent. This sample will load the factory default settings and then set the baud rate to 19200.

LABELS Each scanner has a label on the back of the unit. This label has the model number, date of manufacture, serial number, CE and caution information. The following is an example of this label: MAINTENANCE Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. Therefore, the output window will need occasional cleaning. 1. Spray glass cleaner onto lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth. 2. Gently wipe the scanner window.
