Introduction

The BC9xx0™ Base Station/Charger

The BC9xx0 base station, when paired with one or more PowerScan™ 9500 readers, builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of bar code data. It can be connected to a Host PC via RS-232, USB, or KBD Wedge, and is suited for single-cradle layouts. The BC91x0 models also provide a spare battery charger slot.
The label on the cradle contains LED indicators and a multi-function button.
n the button is pressed for less than 5 seconds, the cradle will transmit a
Whe "broadcast" message." When the broadcast is sent, all properly configured scanners (Radio RX Timeout set to keep the radio "awake") that are linked to that base and within radio range coverage will emit a beep and blink within 5 seconds. This functionality is useful to:
• verify which scanners are linked to a certain ase station
b
• detect a scanner forgotten somewhere
When the button is pressed for longer than 5
conds, all paired scanners will be unpaired.

As with other types of batteries, Lithium-Ion (LI) batteries will lose capacity over time. Capacity deterioration is noticeable after one year of service whether the battery is in use or not. It is difficult to precisely predict the finite life of a LI battery, but cell manufacturers rate them at 500 charge cycles. In other words, the batteries should be expected to take 500 full dis-

mize safety concerns.

Configuration Methods

Programming Bar Codes
The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the interface bar code, you can select other options and cus­tomize your reader through use of the instructions and programming bar
de labels available in the corresponding features section for your inter-
co face. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration
Parameters" st
Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on require only the scan of the single label to enact the change. Most, however, require the reader to be placed them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Programming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, scan a number of parameter settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit Programming Mode and return the reader to nor­mal operation.
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described above. Please read the description and setting instructions carefully when configuring each programmable feature.

To change the Bracket:
1. Remove the screw holding the Bracket in place. Retain the screw for re­use.
2. Carefully lift off the Bracket.
3. Install the other bracket by first slipping the end tab into place on the base station, then easing the tabs (shown in Figure 1 on page 9) into place on the sides.
4. Replace the screw to secure the Bracket to the Base Station.

Permanent Mounting

For either desktop or wall mounting, the cradle can be fastened directly to a flat surface using screws (not included).
Figure 3. Base Station Bottom
When mounting on drywall, the base should be screwed to a wall stud or supporting beam for additional support.

Mounting for Portable Use

If portability of the cradle is required, the metal plate must be used. There are two ways this can be done: (1) by first mounting the metal plate on a flat surface so the cradle can be slid off and on, or (2) mounting the metal plate onto the back of the base station and then screwing both to the desired sur­face.
For additional security on wall mounting, it is strongly recommended that the cradle be secured into place using two auxiliary screws through the mounting holes on the side.
Mounting the Metal Plate
1. Affix the metal plate onto the desired mounting surface using the two center screw holes (see Figure 4 on page 11).

MULTIPLE LABEL READING

In standard (default) mode, when the reader’s aiming system is activated (by a trigger pull, motion or other method depending on the mode), it then acquires and processes each image in the area in front of it (the Volume). In this case, the scanner stops processing the image once it decodes a label. If several labels are present in the volume, only the first label encountered is decoded and sent.
When Multiple Reading Mode is enabled, the scanner keeps on processing
image until all the labels present are decoded. The reader then sorts the
the data from all the bar codes (if configured to do so) before transmitting it.
Multiple Labels per Frame
Specifies the ability of the reader to decode and transmit a set of code labels in a specific volume and in a single frame of time. When in Multiple Labels per Frame the reader beeps and turns on the good read LED indication for each code read in a frame.
