About the Battery Pack

Power is supplied to the Cordless Scanner by a rechargeable battery pack that snaps onto the bottom of the scanner. Each scanner is shipped with a battery pack.

Specifications, page 7–4, for technical specifications.)

 Order backup battery pack(s) or replacement batteries from your distributor.

North American Charging Information

The battery pack is designed to plug into any two prong North American AC power outlet (1 10/120 Volt) for direct charging. You need no additional equipment and you can recharge the pack virtually anywhere.

Worldwide Charging Information

Since the battery pack is rated for both 1 10/120 volt 60 Hz and 230/240 volt 50 Hz applications, it may be charged worldwide. To accommodate the wide variety of electrical outlets internationally , a custom charge strip is required to charge the batteries.

WARNING: When the charge strip is used in 240V applications, only use battery 34/5770/NIMH/S. Do not attempt to charge battery part numbers: 34/5770/NICAD, 34/5770/NIMH, 34/5770/NIMH/F, or 34/5770/NICAD/F.

Battery Pack Recommendations

• Batteries are shipped uncharged and need to be fully charged and discharged two or more times to be fully conditioned.

• Charge the battery for 24 hours for at least the first two times to fully condition the battery.

• Charge the battery pack immediately before use or at least within a couple of days of use.

• Remove the battery pack from the power outlet or charge strip within 24 hours after charging is completed. Avoid extended overcharging; do not leave the battery charging for more than two days.

• Fully discharge the battery pack on a periodic basis by leaving the battery pack attached to the scanner overnight. (Make sure all idle modes are disabled for this procedure.)

• Avoid using the battery pack in extreme temperatures.

• Do not disassemble the battery pack. There are no user-serviceable

parts in the battery pack.

Proper Disposal of the Battery Pack

When the battery pack has reached the end of its useful life, the batteries should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler. Do not incinerate the battery pack or dispose of the battery pack with general waste materials. Contact the Product Service Department (see page 9–1) for recycling or disposal information.

ging Your Battery Pack

Charge the Battery Pack by following the steps shown below:

➊ Fully charge the battery (see page

1–3). Plug the battery pack directly into any common 120 Volt AC outlet in North America. If outside North America, use the custom charge strip.

Note: It is important that you charge the battery for

24 hours prior to the first use. No damage occurs if this is not done, but the battery capacity will not be 100%.

Recharge Time

4 hours at any voltage at 20C (68F).

instructions.

When the battery pack needs recharging, the yellow LED on top of the scanner pulses in short, continuous blinks and the scanner won’t beep when you pull the trigger. If the LED stops flashing when the temperature lowers or you do not use the battery pack for some time, you still need to charge the battery pack to avoid damaging the battery pack or causing scanner memory loss.

Setting Up and Connecting the Cordless System

Install the base and Cordless Scanner by following the steps shown below:

Important: Make sure the Cordless Scanner’s battery pack has been fully charged. See page 1–4 for charging instructions.

➊ Turn off the power to the host system. ➋ Connect the interface cable to the base and to the terminal/computer (steps

1–3, shown in the illustration below). Depending on your application, the interface cable you need may be different than the one shown below .

(Cable, Keyboard, and Terminal may vary.)

Note: For optimal coverage, place the base and its antenna as far away from

other sources of RF interference, with a clear transmitting path to the scanner(s). The base can be mounted on a wall or a ceiling. Try to place the base so that

the antenna is in a vertical (straight up and down) position whenever possible. An extra Base Association Bar Code is provided in case the base is mounted where the label might be difficult to scan (step 4 on the next page describes the Association process).

In an RS-232 configuration (see the illustration on the next page), connect your interface cable between the base unit (step 1 in the illustration) and the host system (2). You also need to use an external power supply (3). Contact your distributor for more information on ordering power supplies or RS-232 cables, including a “Y” extension power cable to mount the base for best RF coverage.

sample bar codes on the back cover of this manual.

Connecting More Scanners to the System

Up to nine Cordless Scanners may be associated with one base unit . Add more Cordless Scanners to a base unit by following the steps shown below:

➊ Make sure the Cordless Scanner’s battery pack has been fully charged. ➋ Scan the Association Bar Code (the bar code label on the top of the base)

to link each scanner to the base.

The base stores a unique I.D. for each scanner (up to nine) to identify the scanner during data communication. Two beeps followed by clicking, then a single beep from the scanner indicates a “good” association. The base rejects a tenth Cordless Scanner trying to link to its network, sending the scanner an error command. (A rejected scanner beeps three times, indicating an unsuccessful association.)

Note: When you associate more scanners with the base, you don’t have to program your Cordless System to communicate with your terminal or computer if you’ve already completed step 5, above.

Basic Operation of the Cordless System

The following system block diagrams (on this and the following page) illustrate the basic operating components of the Cordless System.

Cordless Base

The Cordless Base provides the link between the Cordless Scanner and the host system. The base contains a control/interface assembly and an RF communication module. The RF communication module performs the data exchange between the Cordless Scanner and the control/interface assembly. The control assembly coordinates the central interface activities including: transmitting/receiving commands and data to/from the host system, performing software activities (parameter menuing, visual indicator support, power-on diagnostics), and data translation required for the host system.

RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation

The Cordless System uses a state of the art radio to transmit and receive data between the scanner and the base. Designed for point-to-point and multipoint to single point applications, the radio transmits data at a rate of 1 megabit per second (MBPS) in a half duplex (2 way) communications mode. The radio operates using a license free, low power, 2.4 GHz spread spectrum (frequency hopping) technique. This transmission technique, which sends relatively small data packets at a fast data rate over a radio signal with randomly changing frequencies, makes the Cordless System highly responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant to noisy RF environments.

The RF radio used in the Cordless System has been tested and approved as complying with the two leading standards-setting organizations that serve as regulatory models for compliance in most countries. In North America, the radio is approved under the standards in FCC B Part 15.249 regulations and, in Europe, under the standards in ETS 300 328 regulations.

chart of regulatory and safety agency approvals.)

Cordless Scanner

The Cordless Scanner enables bar code scanning with non-contact CCD or Laser input devices, real time decoding, and host connectivity within a 50 foot (15.24 meter) radius of the base unit. It provides the initial bar code data acquisition function and communicates to the base. The scanner is comprised of a CCD or laser scan engine, a decode/control assembly, and an RF communication module.

The scan engine performs the bar code image illumination and detection. The decode/control assembly coordinates the central communication activities including: capturing and decoding the bar code image data, performing software activities (parameter menuing, visual indicator support, low battery indication), and data translation required for the host system. The RF communication module performs the data exchange between the scanner and the base.

System Conditions

The components of the Cordless System interact in specific ways as you associate one or more scanners to a base, as you move a scanner out of range, bring a scanner back in range, replace a scanner battery pack, or swap scanners between two Cordless Systems. The following information explains the Cordless System operating conditions.

Association Process

After you scan the association label, the base synchronizes radio parameters and the work group parameter table in the scanner. The work group table is uploaded during the clicking sequence. Two beeps, clicking, then a single beep indicates the process is complete. The base blinks while it is sending the table to the scanner. Until the table is uploaded, scanning and data transmission is interrupted. If the base is off or not working properly , the scanner emits an error (triple) beep after trying for 30 seconds to associate to the base.

The work group table is also uploaded any time the base believes a previously associated scanner wishes to join the network. A scanner always tries to join the last base it was associated to, even if the scanner has been without power for several days. The base allows a scanner to associate as long as there are fewer than nine scanners actively associated to the base.

Scanner is Out of Range

The Cordless Scanner is always in communication with its base, even when it is not transmitting bar code data. Whenever the scanner can’t communicate with the base for a three second interval, it is out of range. If the trigger is pulled while the scanner is out of range, the green and yellow LEDs illuminate. When you scan a bar code, the scanner issues 3 beeps and does not try to send data to the base.

Note: While the scanner is out of range, it consumes more power searching for the base continuously. To conserve battery power, store the scanner with the battery pack removed, or program it for Battery Conservation mode (see page 2–12).

Scanner is Moved Back Into Range

The scanner silently rejoins (no beep after connecting and synchronizing with the base) if the scanner has not been reset (battery pack disconnected and reconnected), no menu codes have been scanned by other scanners in the work group, or the base has not been reset (see Base Reset Conditions, next page). Any one of these three conditions can cause the scanner to go through a reassociation process (definition on the next page) when it is moved back in range. If the scanner reassociates, you will hear a single beep when the reassociation process (uploading of the parameter table) is complete.

If you believe you are in range and are still hearing a triple (error) beep, you may have been removed from off the base’s network. Try scanning the association label or reset scanner by removing and reinserting the battery .

Cordless System Manual

1–11

Replacing Battery Pack While Associated

When you insert the battery pack, the scanner beeps, followed by clicking. During this period the work group parameter table is uploaded to the scanner from the base. Scanning and data transmission is interrupted. When the scanner emits a second beep, you may scan again. If you don’t receive a second beep, the table was not transferred successfully either because the scanner was out of range or all of the data was not received. Scan the association label again.

Moving Scanners From One Base to Another

You may transfer a scanner between base networks by scanning a new base association label. Scanners can only be associated to one base at a time. Once a scanner has been associated to a base, it tries to stay associated to that base until a new base association label has been scanned. The new base adds a scanner to its association list as long as fewer than nine scanners are in its network. If a base has nine scanners in its network, you need to disassociate one scanner before adding another (see next section).

Swapping Scanners Between Two Systems with Nine Scanners on Each

You may use the Remove Scanner Selection (page 4–3) to disassociate any scanner and then add a new scanner by scanning the association label with the new scanner. If you cannot scan the disassociation label because the scanner you are trying to disassociate was damaged, remove power from that scanner and it automatically disassociates in approximately three seconds.

Glossary

Base Reset Conditions

The base resets when base power is lost or when a diagnostic problem is sensed. In either case, the scanners automatically reassociate, if they are within range.

Reassociation

The process of uploading the work group parameter table from the base is called “reassociation.” During reassociation, the scanner clicks, then beeps once. Reassociation is done automatically , without having to scan an association label.

Association List

The base keeps an association list of up to nine entries. This list maintains the associated scanners’ radio serial numbers and dynamic addresses. New dynamic addresses are assigned to the scanners each time a Base Reset occurs. This helps the Cordless System track the status of the different scanners in its network during the association and reassociation process.

Cordless System Manual

Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host

The Cordless Scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read” indication (a green LED on the scanner and an audible beep) after a bar code is scanned correctly and the base has acknowledged receiving the data. The Cordless System also provides two way communication between the Scanner and the base or host system.

When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base unit. Confirmation from the host system or the base indicates that the data sent was received by the host. The Cordless Scanner recognizes two forms of host confirmation: data acknowledgement (ACK) from the base unit or an “ACK” from the host system. If it can’t be determined that the data has been properly sent to the host system, the scanner issues 4 beeps (low, high, low , high tones). You must then check to see if the scanned data was received by the host system.

Acknowledgement from the Base

If the Cordless System is configured for a keyboard wedge host interface, a signal (ACK) is sent from the base confirming that the data was received and is being sent on to the host system. (Since keyboard wedge interfaces cannot provide bi-directional communications, they do not permit host confirmation.)

1) Good Read

2) ACK from Base

* Base sends data to Host after ACK is sent to Scanner

Acknowledgement from the Host System

Host system confirmation may be implemented with a bi-directional interface like Host RS-232. In this configuration, when the base unit receives the scanned data from the scanner and forwards it to the host, the Cordless System waits for a signal from the host that it received the data. (For information on enabling this feature and using Host Escape commands, see Host Ack Selection, page 3–5).

Accessories for the Cordless System

Several accessories are available for the Cordless System. Contact your distributor for more information or to order accessories.

Battery Packs

The battery pack for the cordless scanner is a rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) pack that, when fully charged, provides up to 18,000 scans or 28 hours of continuous use. The unique design of the battery allows the battery pack to be directly charged in a two prong 120 volt wall outlet commonly used in North America. For other parts of the world with different voltages and frequencies, the universal charge strip is needed. While the battery pack may be charged directly with 240 volts, the universal charge strips provide the method to physically adapt to the various power plug and socket configurations.

Each scanner is shipped with one battery pack. Order back up batteries or replacement batteries separately.

Charge Strips

To charge more than one battery pack at one time, charge strips are available. The charge strips are offered in two or six outlet configurations and may be conveniently wall mounted or placed on flat surfaces. The charge strip uses a standard PC (IEC 320) grounded power cord between the charge strip and the electrical AC outlet.

Note: International versions of the power cords are provided by Welch Allyn’s country partners or may be purchased from your local PC supplier. Welch Allyn does not supply these power cords.

Belt Holster

The belt holster holds the Cordless Scanner when not in use. The belt holster consists of a foam covered wire frame clasped to an adjustable nylon web belt designed to be worn around the waist.

Wall Mount Kit (Standard)

The standard wall mount holder stores the Cordless Scanner on a vertical surface for convenient access. The scanner easily slides between two rubberized fingers that hold the scanner when it is not in use.

Wall Mount Kit (Industrial)

Similar to the standard wall mount holder, the rubberized fingers on the industrial wall mount holder are smaller to maintain a firm grasp on the scanner under jolting and jarring conditions, such as those expected in fork lift applications.

Head Cover

The head cover features a “D” ring to attach to a tool balancer to suspend the scanner rather than putting it down.

Base Wall Mount Bracket

For applications where ST2070 base needs to be firmly mounted to a wall. The bracket slides into the molded feature on the back side of the base.

Visual Menu

Visual Menu is a software configuration tool that provides the ability to configure the Cordless System by connecting the base unit to the COM port of a PC. Visual Menu allows you to download firmware upgrades, change programmed parameters, and create and print programming bar codes.

Battery Conservation Mode

In order to preserve scanner battery power, you can set the scanner to “go to sleep” after the scanner or its base has been idle for a certain length of time. A cordless scanner “checks in” with its base unit on a periodic basis. If the base unit has been turned off, you can set the scanner to turn itself off as well (sleep mode). If you prefer, you can set the scanner to turn itself of f regardless of the base unit state (nap mode). Once a scanner is off, or asleep, a single trigger pull wakes it up and begins the reassociation process, see page 1–12. A second trigger pull is required to scan a code.

If you want the scanner to turn off after a period of inactivity, regardless of the state of the base, scan Don’t Check for Network Base Before Timeout (nap mode), then scan the desired timeout length code (page 2–13). When the scanner has been idle for the timeout length, it turns itself off. If the scanner has shown no activity for 1 hour, it will automatically shut of f by default.

Host ACK mode is designed to respond to a specific Application Work Group (see Section 4 for more information on Work Groups); the host system issues an Escape sequence to commands may be strung together to create custom beep/blink sequences.

An example of an Escape string to create a “low, medium, high” beep sequence for scanners in Application Work Group 2 would be: “ character indicates the Work Group and the comma is used as the delimiter . If it can’t be determined that the data has been properly sent to the host system, the scanner issues 4 beeps (low, high, low, high tones). You must then check to see if the scanned data was received by the host system.

Note: Host ACK mode will only work with a host system that supports RTS/CTS flow control. If your host system does not support RTS/CTS handshaking, turning on Host ACK selection will cause some or all of your data to be lost.

Aux Data Format Editor

The Aux Data Format Editor selections are used to edit incoming data to the aux port. For example, you can use the Aux Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned.

It is not necessary to use the Aux Data Format Editor. A set of defaults for the aux data format is already programmed in the base. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the default settings.

Aux Data Format setting = none.

If you have changed aux data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return to the defaults, scan the Default Aux Data Format code.

To Add an Aux Data Format

STEP 1. Scan the Enter Aux Data Format symbol (pg. 3–19). STEP 2. Primary/Alternate Format

STEP 3. Terminal Type

STEP 4. Code I.D.

STEP 5. Length

STEP 6. Editor Commands

STEP 7. Scan Save to save your entries.

Determine if this will be your primary aux data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. (Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a different aux data format. After the one bar code has been read, the scanner reverts to the primary aux data format. See page 3–21.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are

programming.

Refer to the Supported Terminals Chart (page 2–5) and locate the Terminal ID number for your PC. Scan three numeric bar codes on the inside back cover to program the scanner for your terminal ID (you must enter 3 digits). For example, scan 0 0 3 for an IBM AT.

Section 4 Application Work Groups Menu

Introduction

Use this section to program parameters for application work groups for the Cordless System.

This programming section contains the following menu selections:

• Output Selections (User Feedback)

• Prefix and Suffix

• Data Formatter

When you set up and connect the Cordless System to your host system, you associate the Cordless Scanner to its Base unit. If you are using more than one Cordless Scanner, you may also set up application work groups. (Instructions for associating more scanners – up to nine – to the Base are on page 1–7.)

Application work groups may be set up in different configurations using the programming selections found in this section of the manual. For example, one group may need the beeper turned off, will only scan Code 39 bar codes, and needs a carriage return suffix added to the data being sent to the host system via the Base. Another group may require that scanner voting be turned on, will scan UPC A, and needs a space added to the transmitted data, between the main UPC bar code data and the five digit addenda.

The Application Work Groups Selection (on the next page) sets up the application work group(s). After you’ve scanned the association bar code on the Base, scan one of the work group numbers to assign the Cordless Scanner to a specific group. Y ou may then program whatever parameters your application requires from the Output (User Feedback), Prefix and Suffix, and Data Formatter Selections menu pages.

T o add a new Cordless Scanner to an established group, associate the scanner to the Base and scan the application work group number. The scanner will operate and send data to the host system according to that group’s programmed selections. Any programming selections you change or make with one Cordless Scanner will affect all the scanners in a work group.

Note: T o program a group’ s parameters, you must first scan the group number and then the programming selections (prefix, suffix, data formatter, etc.). The parameters can’t be programmed first and then “made” a group by scanning an application work group number.

To remove a scanner associated with a Base unit, use the Remove Scanner Selection on page 4–3. For instance, if nine scanners are associated with a Base (the maximum number) and you want to add a new scanner, you will need to remove one scanner from the established work groups. After removing one scanner by using the Remove Scanner programming bar code, add the new scanner by scanning the association bar code on the Base unit.

Prefix/Suffix Description and Examples

When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional, user-defined data is called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-defined data into the message string.

Prefix and Suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after scanned data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific symbologies. The following illustration shows the breakdown of a message string:

Data Format Editor

The Data Format Editor selections are used to edit scanned data. For example, you can use the Data Format Editor to insert characters at certain points in bar code data as it is scanned.

It is not necessary to use the Data Format Editor. A set of defaults for the data format is already programmed in the scanner. The selections in the following pages are used only if you wish to alter the default settings.

Format setting = none.

If you have changed data format settings, and wish to clear all formats and return to the defaults, scan the Default Data Format code.

To Add a Data Format

STEP 1. Scan the Enter Data Format symbol (pg. 4–15). STEP 2. Primary/Alternate Format

STEP 3. Terminal Type

STEP 4. Code I.D.

STEP 5. Length

STEP 6. Editor Commands

STEP 7. Scan Save to save your entries.

Determine if this will be your primary data format, or one of 3 alternate formats. (Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a different data format. After the one bar code has been read, the scanner reverts to the primary data format. See page 4–17.) If you are programming the primary format, scan 0. If you are programming an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are programming.

On pg. 4–1 1, find the symbology to which you want to apply the data format. Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart.

Refer to the Format Editor Commands (page 4–13). Scan the symbols that represent the command you want to enter. 94 alphanumeric characters may be entered for each symbology data format.

 Clear One Data Format

This deletes one data format for one symbology . If you are clearing the primary format, scan 0. If you are clearing an alternate format, scan 1, 2, or 3, depending on the alternate format you are clearing. Scan the Terminal Type (refer to the Supported Terminals Chart on page 2–5), Code I.D. and the length of the format you want to delete. That length data format for that symbology is deleted and all other formats are unaffected.

Miscellaneous Commands

FB Suppress all occurrences of up to 15 different characters, starting at the

normally transmitted out the main port, and needs to be temporarily sent out

the aux port. The first EB in a format string opens the aux port, temporarily

re-directing data transmission out the aux port. Send commands (F1, F2, F3,

F4) are then used to transmit data. A second EB command closes the aux

port and resumes normal data transmission through the main port.

Alternate Data Formats

Alternate formats allow you “single shot” capability to scan one bar code using a different data format than your primary format. When data formats are programmed (see page 4–12), you must input whether you are programming the primary format, or an alternate format numbered 1, 2, or 3.

An alternate format is initiated by scanning one of the 3 alternate format bar codes below. The scanner will scan the next bar code, formatting the data with the selected alternate format, then revert immediately to the primary format.
