INTRODUCTION Caution and Serial Number Labels Figure 2. Label Location on the Bottom of the Scanner with Example Caution 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/IEC 60950-1. To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1/UL 60950-1 and norm EN/IEC 60950-1, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.
INTRODUCTION Cable Removal Disconnect the power supply from the PowerLink cable and turn off power to the host system before removing the cable from the scanner. 1. 2. 3. 4. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the front side of the scanner near the end of the handle. Bend an ordinary paperclip into the shape shown. Insert the paperclip (or other small metallic pin) into the small ‘pin-hole’. There will be a faint ‘click’ when the connector’s lock releases.
INSTALLATION RS232, Light Pen or Laser Emulation 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Plug the male, 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS5145. 3. Connect the 9-Pin female end of the PowerLink cable to the appropriate communication port on the host device. 4. Plug the external power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable. Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet.
INSTALLATION RS485S 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the MVC cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS5145. 3. Connect the other end of the MVC cable to Port 9 of the host device. 4. Turn on the host device Figure 7. RS485S (above) Connections See page 5. S 8 ® Applicable for IBM Host applications.
INSTALLATION Keyboard Wedge 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Plug the male, 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS5145. 3. Disconnect the keyboard from the host/PC. 4. Connect the Y ends of the PowerLink cable to the keyboard and the host’s keyboard port. If necessary, use the supplied adapter cable to make the connections. 5. Plug the external power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable.
INSTALLATION Stand-Alone Keyboard 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the jack on the Eclipse. There will be a ‘click’ when the connection is made. If the scanner is receiving power from the host system, skip to step #5. 3. Connect the L-shaped plug of the power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable. Make sure the AC input requirements of the power supply match the AC outlet. Connect the power supply into an AC outlet.
INSTALLATION USB: Low Speed USB (-38) Full Speed USB (-40) 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector of the USB cable into the jack on the Eclipse. There will be a ‘click’ when the connection is made. 3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the host USB port. 4. Turn on the host system. Figure 10. USB As a default, the MS5145-38 leaves the factory with USB Keyboard Emulation Mode enabled.
SCANNER OPERATION How to Use CodeGate and the Manual Activation Mode CODEGATE® MANUAL ACTIVATION MODE* * This feature is not a default setting. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide for instructions on enabling the Manual Activation Mode. Figure 11. CodeGate Enabled Figure 12.
SCANNER OPERATION Indicators Audible When the MS5145 scanner is operational, the scanner provides audible feedback to indicate the status of the scanner and the last scan. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, six alternate tones and no tone). For instructions on how to change the tone of the beeper, refer to the Single-Line MetroSelect Configuration Guide. One Beep – On Power Up The green LED will turn on, then the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once.
SCANNER OPERATION Indicators Visual The MS5145 is equipped with a red LED and green LED which indicate the scanner’s state and the status of the current scan when the unit is in operation. Figure 13. LED Color and Location Green and Red LEDs Are Off The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. Steady Green Indicates normal pulse or continuous laser operation. Accompanied by a razzberry tone, it indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned.
SCANNER OPERATION Indicators Failure One Razzberry Tone – On Power Up This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser or flipper subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair to a Metrologic Authorized Service Center. Continuous Razzberry Tone with no LEDs If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the scanner has an experienced an electronic failure. Return the unit for repair to a Metrologic Authorized Service Center.

SCANNER OPERATION Configuration Modes The MS5145 Eclipse has three modes of configuration. • Bar Codes The Eclipse can be configured by scanning the bar codes located in the MetroSelect® Single-Line Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02544). This manual can be downloaded FREE at www.metrologic.com. • MetroSet®2 This user-friendly Windows-based configuration software allows you to simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options. This software can be downloaded FREE at www.metrologic.
SCANNER OPERATION 4. During configuration, the motor and laser turn off. YOU CANNOT SCAN A BAR CODE WHILE IN SERIAL CONFIGURATION MODE. 5. There is a 20 second window between commands. If a 20 second timeout occurs, the scanner will send a [nak] and you must start over. 6. To enter serial configuration mode, send the following command [stx]999999[etx]. 7. To exit serial configuration mode, send the following command [stx]999999[etx], the scanner will respond with an [ack] followed by 3 beeps. 8.
SCANNER OPERATION 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE The following guide is for reference purposes only. Contact a Metrologic representative at 1-800-ID-Metro or 1-800-436-3876 to preserve the limited warranty terms. Symptoms Possible Causes Solution All Interfaces No power is being supplied to the unit. Check the transformer, the outlet and power strip. Make sure the cable is plugged into the unit. No power is being supplied to the unit from host. Some host systems cannot supply enough current to power Eclipse.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Causes Solution The unit powers up, but does not scan and/or beep. The unit is trying to scan a particular symbology that is not enabled. UPC/EAN, Code 39, interleaved 2 of 5, Code 93, Code 128 and Codabar are enabled by default. Verify the type of bar code being read has been selected. The unit powers up, but does not scan and/or beep. The bar code being scanned does not satisfy the configured criteria for character length lock or minimum length.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Causes Solution The unit scans but the data is not correct. The unit’s configuration is not correct. Make sure that the proper PC type AT, PS2 or XT is selected. Verify the correct country code and data format is selected. Adjust the inter-character delay symptom. The unit is transmitting each character twice. The unit’s configuration is not correct. Increase the interscan code delay setting. Adjust whether the F0 break is transmitted.
RS232 DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM If an RS232 scanner is not communicating with your IBM compatible PC, key in the following BASIC program to test that the communication port and scanner are working. This program is for demonstration purposes only. It is only intended to prove that cabling is correct, the COM port is working, and the scanner is working. If the bar code data displays on the screen while using this program, it only demonstrates that the hardware interface and scanner are working.

UPGRADING THE FLASH ROM FIRMWARE The MS5145 is part of Metrologic's line of scanners with flash upgradeable firmware. The upgrade process requires a new firmware file supplied to the customer by a customer service representative and Metrologic's MetroSet2 software . A personal computer running Windows 95 or greater with an available RS232 serial or USB port is required to complete the upgrade. PowerLink cable #54-54014 is required when using RS232 for the upgrade process.
SCANNER AND CABLE TERMINATIONS Scanner Pinout Connections The MS5145 scanner interfaces terminate to a 10-pin modular jack. The serial number label indicates the interface enabled when the scanner is shipped from the factory. Figure 15.
