INTRODUCTION
1 INTRODUCTION
Datalogic renews its range of industrial laser scanners introducing the Dragon™
family: Dragon™ Desk and Dragon™ Mobile. Robustness and ergonomics remain
unsurpassed: clearly audible beeper and bright "good read" LEDs for areas where
noise levels are normally high; the aim mode, which helps point to the right code, has
now been extended to the whole Dragon™ family. Optical parts are completely
suspended on shock absorbers and a careful choice of the body materials, such as
the co-moulded rubber, protect the Dragon™ from damage due to "falls".
New enhanced architecture, based on an M16 high-speed microprocessor, enables
exceptional performance for promptness and reading speed of standard codes as
well as the ability to read poorly printed and damaged codes. Puzzle Solver
Technology™, a patent from Datalogic, adds further strength to the Dragon™
powerful engine.
In all applications where mobility is a value, the new Dragon™ M represents the key
to increase productivity and flexibility in the working area. Dragon™ M
communicates through a low power, licence free radio in the 433 MHz band
(910 MHz for USA version) and allows bi-directional communication between the
base station and the host. Dragon™ M also includes a display and a 3 push-button
keypad. Thanks to these features, the operator can receive information from the host,
interact with the central system and visualise the code read. The cordless system
offers scalable solutions to solve simple applications and complex projects:
• Point to point: each gun is associated with its own base station;
• Multipoint: up to 32 guns transmit data to one base station;
• Network: to cover a wide area, connecting up to 16 bases and 512 guns
simultaneously working in automatic roaming.
Dragon™ M is 100% compatible with STAR-System™, the new Datalogic RF narrow
band solution for mobile applications that provides the widest family of narrow band
devices on the market.
Your Dragon™ reader is supplied with its own Quick Reference Manual, which
provides connection, diagrams, reading diagrams, basic application parameter
settings, default values, and specific technical features. You can use either the Quick
Reference Manual or this Manual for initial configuration in order to set the default
values and select the interface for your application. This manual provides all the
necessary information for complete mechanical installation and system software
configuration.

Pull the rubber boot towards the connector until it covers and is flush with the
connector moulding.
Lock the rubber boot clip around the rubber boot aligning them as shown in the
figure.
Insert the assembly (connector + rubber boot locked through clip) into the reader
connector. Push the cover along the cable towards the reader handle and make it
hook over the yellow tooth therefore closing the handle.
Insert the strain relief into the cover.
Insert the screw into the strain relief and tighten to fix the whole assembly to the
reader handle.
Connections should always be made with power OFF!

OM-30X0 Connectors
The OM-30X0 incorporates a multi-standard interface, which can be connected to a
Host by simply plugging the correct interface cable into the Host connector, placed on
the base of the cradle. In addition the cradle must be connected to an external power
supply.
To disconnect the cable, insert a paper clip or other similar object into the hole
corresponding to the Host connector on the body of the cradle.
Push down on the clip while unplugging the cable.

2.8 NETWORK CONNECTIONS
2.8.1 OM3000 Network Connectors
The multidrop network is a bus system which is propagated from one OM-3000
cradle to another using individual cables. This is possible thanks to the RS485
connector on the front panel of the cradle.
Power Supply

(OM-3000 only)
MULTI-INTERFACE

All cradles are connected together within the bus system through the Datalogic
RS485 splitter cable (CAB-428, part number 90A051950), which must be inserted in
the RS485 cradle connector.
Obviously cable length is to be kept to a minimum as with all bus systems.

2.8.2 Network Cabling
The Multidrop line is made using RJ45 connectors and a cable having the following
specifications:
• twisted pair AWG 24 wires
• 120 Ω impedance
• maximum network cable length 1200 meters

When wiring the multidrop cables, note the following:
Pin 8 (or 7) can be connected only if the power has to be propagated from a cradle to a
STARGATE™ base station or STAR-Box™ converter via the cable.
Pins 5 (or 4) should always be connected as reference ground.
To avoid excessive voltage drop, it is recommended not to propagate power between
OM-3000 cradles when used as battery chargers but to supply each cradle
individually. The total number of devices, which can be connected to a single power
supply, depends on the power supply voltage, the wire length and resistance and
therefore the voltage drop. Do NOT connect VDC+ between network devices that are
individually powered.
9
DRAGON™ DX31/MX31
2.8.3 Network Termination
The first and last cradles of the chain (the two ends of the bus) must be properly
terminated. The cradle has an internal terminator that can be selected via jumper.
For this selection you must open the device.
No Termination Static Dynamic
Terminator for Multidrop Network
Static termination works for all network configurations. However, the network is
always under load even when no data transmission takes place.
Dynamic termination can be used for baud rates at or above 38400 and provides less
load on the network when idle.

INSTALLATION
2.9 DRAGON™ MX31 BATTERY MAINTENANCE
2.9.1 Battery Charging
Once the system is connected and powered, you can place the Dragon™ Mx31 into
the cradle to charge the battery.
When the reader is correctly inserted in the cradle, the "Reader" red LED on the cradle
goes on to indicate that the battery is charging. The "Reader" green LED on the cradle
goes on when the battery is completely charged.
2.9.2 Replacing Dragon™ Mx31 Batteries
To change the batteries in your Dragon™ Mx31 scanner, press the black button or
unscrew the fixing screw on the handle cover and extract the battery pack from the
reader handle.

2
When the batteries are extracted from the scanner, the timer
maintains the current hour and date for about 1 minute.
NOTE
Replace the old battery pack with a new one by inserting it within the reader handle
and pushing it until it clicks.
Do not incinerate, disassemble, short terminals or expose to
high temperature. Risk of fire, explosion. Use specified
charger only. Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by
an incorrect type. Dispose of the batteries as required by the
WARNING
relevant laws in force.

stick them onto the base surface.
5. Remove the plastic from the other
side of the strips and affix the base
to the wall as indicated in the figure
below.
3. Using the mounting holes on the
base as a pattern, mark the wall
where you desire to mount the OM30X0/C-3000.
4. Drill the appropriate size holes and
insert the threaded dowels (not
provided) into the holes.
5. Position the base on the wall as
indicated in the figure below and
affix it by means of the screws (not

3 DRAGON™ M131 SYSTEM AND NETWORK
LAYOUTS
There are two basic system layouts that can be employed: Stand Alone systems
(including Point-to-Point layouts) and Multidrop STAR-System™ Networks.

3.1.3 Multiple Stand Alone Layouts
Many stand alone connections can operate in the same physical area without
interference, provided all readers and cradles in the system have different addresses.

Multiple Stand Alone Systems in the Same Area
Since the cradles can communicate to multiple Dragon™ M131 readers, you might
find it useful to employ one or more C-3000 battery chargers in addition to the
OM-30X0 cradle, so that the battery re-charging operation can be performed for
several scanners at the same time.

System cables to Host
In this layout the OM-30X0 cradle is connected by a dedicated cable using the RS232
interface to a C-BOX connection box as part of a fixed scanner network. This allows the
flexibility of a hand-held reading station integrated into a variety of fixed scanning
applications so that all readers (both fixed and hand-held), in the system provide
communications to the Host.
The various C-BOX models provide many interface types for the Host system such as
RS232, RS485, Profibus.
