INTRODUCTION
Metrologic's IS8000 series scanners bring the benefits of holography to longrange industrial bar code scanning. Enclosed in rugged NEMA-12 cases for
industrial environments, the IS8000 series provides omnidirectional scanning
with optional no code/wrong code warning. They can be mounted in any
orientation and are capable of primary/secondary setup for added versatility.
There are several IS8000 models to choose from depending on the scanning
application.
¾ The IS8300 produces 5,250 scan lines per second with a depth of field of
457.2 mm (18”)** and a width covering 304.8 mm (12”)**
¾ The IS8400 produces 3,360 scan lines per second with a depth of field of
711.2 mm (28”)* and a width covering 558.8 (22”)*
¾ The IS8500 produces 5,600 scan lines per second with a depth of field of
711.2 mm (28”)* and a width covering 558.8 (22”)*
¾ The IS8800 produces 5,600 scan lines per second with a depth of field of
812.8 mm (32”)* and a width covering 457.2 (18”)*
* The area defined is based conservatively on a 0.33 mm/0.013” bar code
width. Actual scan areas will vary by label size and application.
** The area defined is based conservatively on a 0.25 mm/0.010” bar code
width. Actual scan areas will vary by label size and application.
Several optional features are also available for the IS8000 series including a
hand-held scanner port, Triac output, a high volume external speaker box and
object sensor input with the use of a MX001 industrial control interface. All
scanners can be programmed using Metrologic’s MetroSet
program available on CD or downloadable from Metrologic’s web site at
www.metrologic.com.

cable to the HoloTrak
to the host.
3. Check the AC input
requirements of the power
supply to make sure the
voltage matches the AC
outlet.

INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST (OPTIONAL FEATURES)
Industrial Controller MX001 Interface Option
The MX001 Industrial Control Interface performs three functions.
¾ Through an object sensor input, the scanner can be alerted to any package
present in the scan field. The sensor must have a 12V or 5V at 10mA output
signal or switch closure (relay) output. The MX001 can also supply 12VDC
power at 200mA (max) to the sensor. (MetroSet 2 configuration required)
¾ The MX001 electronic switch or Triac, allows the scanner to control an
external device directly by switching on and off a 115 VAC at 10 Amps or
230VAC at 6 Amps output signal. (MetroSet 2 configuration required)
¾ It can alert the user that sensor conditions are not nominal (Sensor Alarm).
Special configuration of the MX001 Industrial controller is necessary for
proper installation. Please refer to the MX001 Industrial Control Interface
Installation and User's Guide [MLPN 00-02173] and the MetroSet 2
documentation for complete details.
To avoid potential problems, do not power up the scanner until the
communication cable is secured to the host.
Only one MX001 can be used in the primary/secondary setting
(not shown), and it MUST be connected to the primary scanner.
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Connect the communications
cable to the HoloTrak
the host.
3. Connect the External
MX001/Triac cable to the
HoloTrak and the MX001.
4. Check the AC input
requirements of the power
supply for the scanner
to make sure the voltage
matches the AC outlet.
5. Connect the power supply
to the HoloTrak.
6. Plug the power supply into
the AC outlet.
7. Power up the host system.

INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST (OPTIONAL FEATURES)
External Speaker Box Option
When attached, beeper tones from the scanner are emitted from both the
scanner speaker and external speaker to serve as an audible indication of the
operation of the scanner.
There are 6 beeper options available:
¾ Normal Tone ¾ Tone 2 ¾ Tone 4
¾ Tone 1 ¾ Tone 3 ¾ No Tone
®
Beeper tones can be adjusted by using the MetroSet

When the hand-held scanner first receives power, it will immediately go
through a self-diagnostic routine, then the green and red LEDs will flash,
and the unit will beep once.
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 60950.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 950/UL 1950 and norm EN 60950, the power

CONFIGURATION TO THE HOST SYSTEM
The scanner is shipped from the factory configured to a set of default conditions
noted in the Default Settings section of this guide. In order for the scanner to
communicate with the host system, it will need to be properly configured. Since
each host system is unique, the scanner must be configured to match the host
system requirements. Use the MetroSet®2 Scanner Configuration Program
provided to configure the scanner.
Primary/Secondary Configuration Note
During configuration, the secondary scanner’s communication protocol will be
established automatically through the primary scanner. If the configuration is to
be downloaded from the host to the scanners, it is required that both the primary
and the secondary scanners are powered up and ready to scan. The appropriate
communications cables should be connected between the host and the primary
scanner and between the primary and the secondary scanner.
Once a configuration is downloaded to the primary scanner, the primary will
automatically configure the HoloTrak secondary scanner. This step is necessary
in order to configure the secondary scanner properly. For all practical purposes,
the scanners will act as one scanner. Once both units are configured, the
scanner settings are stored in non-volatile RAM, and will not need to be
configured again.
