1 Introduction

The iSCAN100 is the latest development in barcode scanning technology for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas where gas may be present. The unit offers a very high specification but at an affordable price as it is based on the very latest ideas in Ex protection technology.

The scanner is ergonomically designed in an IP55 pistol grip housing that is comfortable to use for an operator, even when wearing gloves. The housing has a rubber protective shield to protect it from dropping on to hard floors.

Supplied with a spiral cable the iSCAN100 can be connected to systems by a PS2 keyboard wedge or an RS232 serial interface. Most popular barcode symbologies are supported by the built-in decoder providing the PC or operator terminal with ASCII data.

A friction free scanning mechanism is designed to be highly reliable and give a long service life. Scanning 72 times per second at up to 33 cm away from the barcode makes this unit very practical to use for demanding applications

Each type is rigorously checked and tested by Extronics to ensure conformity to the ATEX standards and approvals.

Auto trigger activates the laser

Place the laser on the barcode. Data is automatically transmitted.

Page 15

4.2 Audible Indicators

When the iSCAN100 is in operation, it provides audible feedback. These sounds indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). To change the tone, refer to the MetroSelect® Single-Line Programming Guide

Alternatively see the help files contained in the

One Beep

When the scanner first receives power, the green LED will turn on, then the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. (The red LED will remain on for the duration of the beep.) The scanner is ready to scan. When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and the scanner beeps once (if programmed to do so). If the scanner does not beep once and the green light does not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

included with the scanner.

MetroSet®2 help files.

Two Beeps — On Power Up

When there is a Flash ROM upgrade needed, the scanner will beep twice followed by alternating flashing of the green and red LEDs.

Three Beeps - During Operation

When entering configuration mode, the red LED will flash while the scanner simultaneously beeps three times. The red and green LEDs will continue to flash while in this mode. Upon exiting configuration mode, the scanner will beep three times, and the LEDs will stop flashing.

When configured, 3 beeps can also indicate a communications time-out during normal scanning mode. When using one-code-programming, the scanner will beep three times (the current selected tone), followed by a short pause then by a high tone and a low tone. This tells the user that the single configuration bar code has successfully configured the scanner.

Raspberry Tone\Three Beeps - On Power Up

This is a failure indicator. Refer to "Failure Modes" on page 14.

Page 16

4.3 Visual Indicators

The iSCAN100 has three LED indicators (green, red and yellow) located on the head of the scanner. The MS9520 has two LED indicators (green and red) located on the head of the scanner. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner.

Green & red LED’s off

The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. The scanner is stand-by mode, and CodeGate® is enabled. Present a bar code to the scanner and the green LED will turn on when the laser turns on.

Steady Green

When the laser is active, the green LED is illuminated. The green LED will remain illuminated until the laser is deactivated. (Default Mode Only)

Steady Green and Single Red Flash

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. If the red LED does not flash or the scanner does not beep once, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

(Default Mode Only)

Steady Green and Steady Red

After a successful scan, the scanner transmits the data to the host device. Some communication modes require that the host inform the scanner when data is ready to be received. If the host is not ready to accept the information, the scanner's red LED will remain on until the data can be transmitted.

Alternating Flashing of Green and Red

This indicates the scanner is program mode. A raspberry tone indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned while in this mode. The scanner needs to have a Flash ROM upgrade if the alternating flashing of the red and green LEDs occurs during start-up and is accompanied by three beeps.

Steady Red, Green off

This indicates the scanner may be waiting for communication from the host.

Page 17

4.4 Failure Modes

Flashing Green and one Raspberry Tone

This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser sub-system failure. Return the unit for repair to an authorized service centre.

Flashing Red and Green with Two Raspberry Tones This indicates the scanner has experienced a scanning mechanism failure. Return the unit for repair to an authorized service centre.

Continuous Raspberry Tone with all LEDs off

If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous raspberry tone, then the scanner has an experienced an electronic failure. Return the unit for repair to an authorized service centre.

Three Beeps – on power up

If the scanner beeps 3 times on power up then the non-volatile memory (NovRAM) that holds the scanner configuration has failed. If the scanner does not respond after reprogramming, return the scanner for repair to an authorized service center.

Page 18

4.5 Programming Modes

The ISCAN100 has 3 modes of configuration.

• Bar Codes iSCAN100 can be configured by scanning the bar codes located in the MetroSelect® Single-Line Programming Guide supplied with the scanner. Please refer to this guide for instructions.

• MetroSet®2 This user-friendly Windows-based configuration program allows you to simply `point-and-click' at the desired scanner options. This program can be downloaded for FREE from the following URL:

www.europe.metrologic.com/europe/download/software/metroset2install.exe.

• Serial Programming This mode of programming is ideal for OEM applications. This mode gives the end-user the ability to send a series of commands using the serial port of the host system. The commands are equivalent to the numerical values of the bar codes located in the MetroSelect Single-Line Programming Guide supplied with the scanner.

Page 19

4.6 Serial Programming

Each command sent to the scanner is the ASCII representation of each numeral in the configuration bar code. The entire numeric string is framed with an ASCII [stx] and an ASCII [etx].

4.6.1 EXAMPLE #1:

Command for Disabling Codabar Command = [stx]100104[etx] String Sent to Scanner = 02h 31h 30h 30h 31h 30h 34h 03h (All values are hexadecimal).

If the command sent to the scanner is valid, the scanner will respond with an [ack]. If the command sent to the scanner in invalid, the scanner will respond with a

[nak]. NOTE: If this occurs, the end-user must start over at the very beginning of the configuration sequence. Simply re-transmitting the invalid command will not work, you must start over.

During programming, the motor and laser turn off. YOU CANNOT SCAN A BAR CODE WHILE IN SERIAL PROGRAM MODE.

There is a 20 second window between commands. If a 20 second time-out occurs, the scanner will send a [flak] and you must start over.

To enter serial program mode, send the following command [stx]999999[etx]. To exit serial program mode, send the following command [stx]999999[etx], the

scanner will respond with an [ack] followed by 3 beeps. This mode uses the current Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits and Data Bits settings

that are configured in the scanner. The default settings of the scanner are 9600, Space, 2, 7 respectively. If a command is sent to the scanner to change any of these settings, the change will NOT take effect until after serial program mode is exited.

Page 20

4.6.2 EXAMPLE #2:

The following example will set the scanner to the factory default settings, Disable Scanning of Code 128 bar codes, change the beeper tone, and add a "G" as a programmable prefix.

02h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 39h 03h [ack] or 06h

The commands sent to the scanner do not include the small superscripted `3' that you see in front of each bar code string in the MetroSelect manual. THE '3' SHOULD NOT BE SENT, IT IS A CODE TYPE DESIGNATION ONLY!

As you will note for commands requiring additional bar codes to be scanned (such as prefixes, suffixes, time-outs, etc.), simply send the code bytes in the same order that you would normally scan the bar codes.

SCANNER

This example illustrates two important points. First, if an invalid command is sent from the host, the scanner responds with a [nak]

and the end-user must start over from the beginning. Second, if a command is sent to change the Baud Rate, the new baud rate does

not take effect until after the end-user exits program mode.

4.7 Upgrading The Flash ROM Firmware

The Meteor program is a functional component of Extronics new line of Flashbased scanners. This program allows the user of Extronics scanner to quickly upgrade to a new or custom version of software. It requires the use of a personal computer running under Windows 95 or greater and the use of a communication port. The user merely connects the scanner to a communications port of the PC, launches the Meteor program, and blasts off to new software upgrades.

Each MS9500, regardless of the version number or communication protocol, can be upgraded. In other words, all RS232 (-41), keyboard wedge (-47), light pen (-

41), laser emulation (-00), OCIA (-9) and IBM 468X/469X (-11) units can be upgraded. To upgrade all units, a power supply and PowerLink cable

54012) are required. The upgrades and custom software versions will be supplied by Extronics in files

called Motorola S-record files. These files contain all the information needed to upgrade the scanner. Simply add this file to the working directory or retrieve from its current location.

The program guides the user with its simplistic one click approach. The user must first select the file; once selected and verified, the file is ready to be used in the upgrade. Press the button to upgrade the scanner, the unit will go into a "flash mode" — both the green and red LEDs will be on. The user can follow the progress of the upgrade by watching the screen for details. When the upgrade is complete, the scanner will respond with its normal one beep on power up. If two beeps occur, the scanner did not upgrade properly. (Contact an Extronics for additional details).
