Introduction Metrologic’s TECH 7 laser bar code projection scanner is encased in an NEMA-12 steel case. The case construction enables the scanner to operate in harsh surroundings, especially industrial environments. Water-resistant, shock-resistant, and rugged, the TECH 7 is also fast, aggressive and reliable. It can register bar codes at a range of 76mm - 254mm (3" - 10") and can autodiscriminate among all common codes.
Scanner Installation 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. To avoid potential problems, do not power up the scanner until the communication cable is secured to the host. 1. "Power off" the host system. 2. Locate the 19-pin female end of the scanner link cable and find the widest key located above pins L and A.
Configuration to the Host System The scanner is shipped from the factory programmed to a set of default conditions noted in the ScanSelect Scanner Programming Guide by an asterisk that appears before the brief definition located next to the bar code. In order for the scanner to communicate with a host system properly, it may need to be programmed. Since each host system is unique, configure the scanner to match the host system requirements.
Stand Installation With the Metrologic stand (Part #45475), the scanner can be positioned in one of two directions. The two orientation choices are vertical or horizontal. (Refer to Figure 1) To install this stand, use the four 632 x ½ inch machine screws and two #10 panhead wood screws. 1. Drill two holes into the work surface that are the same size and distance as the holes on the stand base. (Refer to Figure 2) Figure 1 Base of Stand 2.
Back Plate Installation With the Metrologic back plate (Part #45473), position the scanner in one of two directions. The two orientation choices are vertical or horizontal. (Refer to Figure 4). To use this stand, use the four 6-32 x ½ inch machine screws and four wood screws to attach the unit to the back plate and work surface. The maximum distance the screws should go into the scanner is a ½ inch. Figure 4 1.
Parts of the Scanner 1 Green and Red LEDs 2 Speaker 3 Laser Output Window 4 Mil spec Connector Figure 6 6 1 Green and Red LEDs When the green LED is on, this indicates that the unit is receiving power and the laser is on. When the red LED flashes on, the scanner has read a bar code successfully. When the red light turns off, communica-tion to the host is complete. 2 Speaker The speaker emits a beep when a bar code has been decoded. 3 Laser Output Window This aperture emits the laser light.
Visual Indicators There is a red and green LED at the top of the scanner. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the scan and scanner. Steady Green When the laser is on, the green LED is also on. This occurs when an object is in the scan field. Steady Green; Red Flash When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash then beep once.
Signaux optiques Sur la partie supérieure du scanner se trouvent une diode LED rouge et une diode LED verte. Quand le scanner est sous tension, les diodes rouge et verte clignotantes ou allumées vous informent sur l'état du scanner. Ni la diode rouge, ni la diode verte n'est allumée Il existe deux raisons possibles pour que les diodes ne s'allument pas.
Optische Anzeigen Auf dem Scanner befinden sich eine rote und eine grüne Leuchtdiode. Bei eingeschaltetem Scanner geben Ihnen die blinkenden bzw. feststehenden Leuchtdiodenanzeigen Aufschluß über den Abtast- und Scannerstatus. Weder rote noch grüne Leuchtdiodenanzeige Es gibt zwei mögliche Gründe, weshalb die Leuchtdiodenanzeigen nicht aufleuchten.
Segnali ottici Sullo scanner si trovano due diodi luminosi: uno rosso e uno verde. Quando lo scanner è inserito, i diodi luminosi, che possono o essere accesi in continuazione o lampeggiare, Vi informano sullo stato della scansione e dell’apparecchio. Né il diodo luminoso rosso né quello verde sono accesi Vi sono due possibili cause se i diodi luminosi non sono accesi.
Labels There is one label located inside the window of the scanner noting that this device is a CDRH Class IIa laser product and IEC 825 LASERKLASSE 1. Also, on the scanner is a label located on the back of the unit. This label contains information such as the model number, date of manufacture, serial number, and approvals. The following are samples of the labels located on the unit.
Depth of Scan Field for the MS770 Scanner The depth of field for the scanner is 76mm to 254mm (3" - 10") from the laser output window. Pass the symbol through the scan area in order for the scanner to recognize the bar code.
Depth of Scan Field for the MS775 Scanner The depth of field for the scanner is 76mm to 254mm (3" - 10") from the laser output window. Pass the symbol through the scan area in order for the scanner to recognize the bar code.
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, nonabrasive cleaning cloth. 2. Gently wipe the output window. Applications and Protocols The model number on each scanner includes the scanner number and communications protocol.
