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.

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.

APPENDIX E

Notices

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense. Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this
equipment could void the users authority to operate this device.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.

Notice

This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Remarque

Cet appareil numérique de la classe A conformé a la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Caution

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified
herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure. Under no circumstances should the
customer attempt to service the laser scanner. Never attempt to look at the laser beam, even
if the scanner appears to be nonfunctional. Never open the scanner in an attempt to look
into the device. Doing so could result in hazardous laser light exposure. The use of optical
instruments with the laser equipment will increase eye hazard.

Atención

La modificación de los procedimientos, o la utilización de controles o ajustes distintos de
los especificados aquí, pueden provocar una luz de láser peligrosa. Bajo ninguna
circunstancia el usuario deberá realizar el mantenimiento del láser del escáner. Ni intentar
mirar al haz del láser incluso cuando este no esté operativo. Tampoco deberá abrir el
escáner para examinar el aparato. El hacerlo puede conllevar una exposición peligrosa a la
luz de láser. El uso de instrumentos ópticos con el equipo láser puede incrementar el
riesgo para la vista.

Attention

L'emploi de commandes, réglages ou procédés autres que ceux décrits ici peut entraîner
de graves irradiations. Le client ne doit en aucun cas essayer d'entretenir lui-même le
scanner ou le laser. Ne regardez jamais directement le rayon laser, même si vous croyez
que le scanner est inactif. N'ouvrez jamais le scanner pour regarder dans l'appareil. Ce
faisant, vous vous exposez à une rayonnement laser qú êst hazardous. L'emploi
d'appareils optiques avec cet équipement laser augmente le risque d'endommagement de
la vision.

APPENDIX E (CONTINUED)

Achtung

Die Verwendung anderer als der hier beschriebenen Steuerungen, Einstellungen oder
Verfahren kann eine gefährliche Laserstrahlung hervorrufen. Der Kunde sollte unter keinen
Umständen versuchen, den Laser-Scanner selbst zu warten. Sehen Sie niemals in den
Laserstrahl, selbst wenn Sie glauben, daß der Scanner nicht aktiv ist. Öffnen Sie niemals
den Scanner, um in das Gerät hineinzusehen. Wenn Sie dies tun, können Sie sich einer
gefährlichen Laserstrahlung aussetzen. Der Einsatz optischer Geräte mit dieser
Laserausrüstung erhöht das Risiko einer Sehschädigung.

Attenzione

L’utilizzo di sistemi di controllo, di regolazioni o di procedimenti diversi da quelli descritti nel
presente Manuale può provocare delle esposizioni a raggi laser rischiose. Il cliente non
deve assolutamente tentare di riparare egli stesso lo scanner laser. Non guardate mai il
raggio laser, anche se credete che lo scanner non sia attivo. Non aprite mai lo scanner per
guardare dentro l’apparecchio. Facendolo potete esporVi ad una esposizione laser
rischiosa. L’uso di apparecchi ottici, equipaggiati con raggi laser, aumenta il rischio di
danni alla vista.
