INTRODUCTION
The MS5145 Eclipse™ is a single-line, hand-held laser scanner.
Equipped with Honeywell’s patented CodeGate
used in a wide variety of applications. CodeGate technology allows the user to
easily target the desired bar code and complete the data transmission with a
simple press of a button. This combination makes Eclipse a perfect selection for
menu scanning, point-of-sale, document processing and inventory control.
With state-of-the-art scanning technology embedded inside, the MS5145 Eclipse
has a longer working range and a wider scan field than a typical CCD. The width
of the scan line grows as the scanner moves further away from bar codes. In
addition, the laser beam pulses, making lining up bar codes easy and when the
scanner senses a bar code (CodeSense® Mode), the laser beam automatically
switches to scan mode and activates CodeGate to ensure high-speed scanning
and accuracy.
Many standard features are included such as: user configurable Flash ROM,
PowerLink user-replaceable cables, MetroSet
and data editing (parsing).

DESCRIPTION
Maintenance
Smudges and dirt on the unit’s window can interfere with the unit’s performance.
If the window requires cleaning, use only a mild glass cleaner containing no
ammonia. When cleaning the window, spray the cleaner onto a lint free, nonabrasive cleaning cloth then gently wipe the window clean.
If the unit’s case requires cleaning, use a mild cleaning agent that does not
contain strong oxidizing chemicals. Strong cleaning agents may discolor or
damage the unit’s exterior.

Caution and Serial Number Labels
Figure 2. Label Location on the Bottom of the Scanner with Example
Caution
To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must
meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN/IEC 60950-1.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1/UL 60950-1 and norm
EN/IEC 60950-1, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a
limited power source.

INTRODUCTION
Cable Removal
Disconnect the power supply from the PowerLink cable and turn off power to the
host system before removing the cable from the scanner.
1. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the front
side of the scanner near the end of
the handle.
2. Bend an ordinary paperclip into the
shape shown.
3. Insert the paperclip (or other small
metallic pin) into the small ‘pin-hole’.
There will be a faint ‘click’ when the
connector’s lock releases.
4. Pull gently on the cable’s strain-relief
to remove the cable.
Cable Connection Warning
Important: If the PowerLink cable is not fully latched, the unit can power
intermittently.

INSTALLATION
RS232, Light Pen or Laser Emulation
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Plug the male, 10-pin RJ45 end
of the PowerLink cable into the
10-pin socket on the MS5145.
3. Connect the 9-pin female end of the
PowerLink cable to the appropriate
communication port on the host
device.
4. Plug the external power supply into the
power jack on the PowerLink cable.
Check the AC input requirements
of the power supply to make sure
the voltage matches the AC
outlet. The outlet must be
located near the equipment.
5. Connect AC power to the transformer.
6. Turn on the host system.
Figure 6. RS232, Light Pen, or Laser
Emulation Connections
Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC does not guarantee that
scanned information will appear at the PC. A software driver and correct
configuration settings are also required for proper communications to
occur.
Powering the MS5145 directly from the host device can sometimes cause
interference with the operation of the scanner or the computer. Not all
computers supply the same current. For this reason, using an external
power supply is recommended. For additional information, contact a
customer service representative.
All MS5145-00 scanners leave the factory with the Laser Emulation Mode
enabled. If recall defaults is scanned while re-configuring the scanner the
Laser Emulation Mode will no longer be enabled. Refer to the MS5145-00
Laser Emulation Mode section of the MetroSelect Single-Line
Configuration Guide for information on enabling the Laser Emulation
Mode.

1. Turn off the host system.
2. Plug the male, 10-pin RJ45 end
of the PowerLink cable into the
10-pin socket on the MS5145.
3. Disconnect the keyboard from the
host/PC.
4. Connect the Y ends of the PowerLink
cable to the keyboard and the host’s
keyboard port. If necessary, use the
supplied adapter cable to make the
connections.
5. Plug the external power supply into the
power jack on the PowerLink cable.
Check the AC input
requirements of the power
supply to make sure the
voltage matches the AC
outlet. The outlet must be
located near the equipment.

6. Connect AC power to the transformer.
7. Turn on the host system.
Powering the MS5145-47 directly from the computer can sometimes
cause interference with the operation of the scanner or the computer.
Not all computers supply the same current through the keyboard port,
explaining why a scanner may work on one computer and not another.
Contact a customer service representative if an external power supply is
required.
See page 5.

INSTALLATION
Stand-Alone Keyboard
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male
connector into the jack on the
Eclipse. There will be a ‘click’ when
the connection is made.
If the scanner is receiving
power from the host system,
skip to step #5.
3. Connect the L-shaped plug of the
power supply into the power jack on
the PowerLink cable.
Make sure the AC input
requirements of the power
supply match the AC outlet.
Connect the power supply
into an AC outlet. The outlet
should be near the equipment
and easily accessible.
4. Connect the PowerLink cable to the
keyboard port on the host system.

INSTALLATION
USB: Low Speed USB (-38)
Full
Speed USB (-40)
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male
connector of the USB cable into the
jack on the Eclipse. There will be a
‘click’ when the connection is made.
3. Connect the other end of the USB
cable to the host USB port.
4. Turn on the host system.
As a default, the MS5145-38 leaves the factory with USB Keyboard
Emulation Mode enabled.
For information on configuring the MS5145-38 for USB Serial Emulation
Mode, please refer to the USB section of the MetroSelect Single-Line
Configuration Guide (00-02544X).
Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not guarantee
that scanned information will be communicated properly to the host
system. All Eclipse’s are shipped already configured with a set of
factory defaults. Please refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line
Configuration Guide or MetroSet2’s help files for instructions on
changing the scanner’s factory default configuration. The scanner and
host system must use the same communication protocols.
