Introduction Metrologic's TECH 10 laser bar code projection scanner is encased in a NEMA-12 steel case. The scanner's construction enables the scanner to operate in harsh surroundings, especially industrial environments. Waterresistant, shock-resistant, and rugged, the TECH 10 scanner is also fast, aggressive and reliable. It can register bar codes at a range of 203mm 559mm (8" - 22") and can autodiscriminate among all common codes.
Scanner Connections to the Host In order for the TECH 10 scanner to maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner (Example: power supply, host system, etc.) must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN60950. To avoid potential problems, do not power up the scanner until the communication cable is secured to the host. 1. Turn off the host system. 2.
Configuration of the Scanner 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 next to the bar code. In order for the scanner to communicate with the host system properly, it needs to be programmed to meet your specific scanning needs. Since each host system is unique, the scanner must be configured to match the host system requirements.
Parts of the Scanner Becoming familiar with the features of the TECH 10 scanner will help when operating the scanner. The following illustration and list explain the pertinent parts. 4 1 Green and Red LEDs When the green LED is on, this shows 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, communication to the host is complete. 2 Laser Output Window Laser light is emitted from this aperture.
Installation of the Stand With the Metrologic stand (Part #45479), the scanner can be positioned in a vertical orientation. To use this stand, four 6-32 x ½" machine screws and two #10 panhead wood screws will need to be purchased. The maximum distance the screws should go into the scanner is ½ inch. 1. Lay the scanner face down on a clean cloth to prevent any scratches from occurring on the output window. Position the scanner so the red and green LEDs are pointed toward you. 2.

Labels A label is 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 on the back of the unit. This label contains information such as the model number, date of manufacture, and serial number. The following are samples of the labels that are found on the unit. Scanning Bar Codes The depth of field for the scanner is 254mm to 559mm (10" to 22") from the scanner window.
Maintenance Smudges or dirt that appears on the scanner window can interfere with proper scanning. Therefore, only maintenance required is an occasional cleaning of the glass window. 1. Spray glass cleaner onto lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth. 2. Gently wipe the scanner window.

Appendix B Pin Assignments for the Mil spec Connector Each TECH 10 scanner has a 19-pin male Mil spec connector that is on the side of the unit. To connect the scanner to the host device, use a communication cable with a female Mil spec connector. The communication cable may include a power transformer or it may be designed to draw power directly from the host device. This item can be ordered when the scanner is purchased. The following is a list of the pin assignments.
