Using the SD9030 Dongle

The SD9030 Dongle, when paired with one or more Power­Scan™ PM9X00 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 USB and is
suited for single-cradle layouts.
When the button is pressed, the SD9030 Dongle will
transmit a "broadcast" message. When the broadcast is
sent, and the Radio RX Timeout is set to keep the radio
awake, all properly configured scanners that are linked to
that base and within radio range coverage will emit a beep
and blink for 5 seconds. This functionality is useful to:

• verify which scanner is linked to a certain base station

• detect a scanner forgotten somewhere

The backlight of the button shows the status of the
SD9030 Dongle as described by the table below.

Installation

Installation

To set up your SD9030 Dongle you must:

1. Physically install the SD9030 Dongle.

2. Make all system connections.

3. Configure the SD9030 Dongle.

Mounting the SD9030 Dongle

The package contains the following items:

• SD9030 Dongle • 2 Adhesive linking labels

• 1 Forklift mount • SD9030 Quick Reference Guide

The forklift mount is designed to ease the installation of
the dongle on a lateral guard or on the overhead guard of
a forklift.
The forklift mount can be easily fastened to the dongle by
following few steps:

1. Unscrew the highlighted nut at the bottom and free it
completely from the cable of the dongle. Place the nut
in a safe place.

2. Pass the cable of the dongle through the biggest hole

of the mount and hold the dongle as shown in figure.
Remember that the best radio range is achieved by
placing the antenna as far as possible from metal
parts.

Connecting to a Host

Connecting to a Host

The SD9030 Dongle can be connected to a Host with its
USB cable. In the picture below it is connected to a Data­logic Vehicle Mount Computer, but it can be connected to
any PC or Industrial PC with a USB port.
Simply connect the SD9030 Dongle to a free USB port of
the Host.

Connecting a Datalogic PowerScan™ PM9X00 to the SD9030 Dongle

Simply take your Datalogic PowerScan™ PM9X00 scanner
and scan the link label on the backside of the SD9030
Dongle or scan one of the adhesive labels provided in the
package.

By factory defaults, the SD9030 Dongle is preset to
use the STAR 2.0 High Speed protocol. To enable the
communication between a Datalogic PowerScan
STAR 2.0 Scanner and a SD9030 Dongle, please be
sure about which protocol is currently in use on
both devices. Use the barcode below in case you
need to restore the scanner with the same default
protocol used by the SD9030 Dongle.
