INTRODUCTION

The MS5145 Eclipse is a single-line, hand-held laser scanner.

Equipped with Metrologic’s patented CodeGate technology, Eclipse can be

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 Metrologic’s state-of-the-art scanning technology embedded inside, the

MS5145 Eclipse has a longer working range and a wider scan field than a

typcial 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 of the standard features include: PowerLink User-replaceable cables, Bits

‘n’ Pieces™ data editing, User Friendly Programming using MetroSelect™ bar

codes, or MetroSet 2 Windows-based configuration utility.

QUICK START

1. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 plug into the jack on the Eclipse MS5145. You

will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made.

2. Connect the L-shaped plug of the power supply into the power jack on the

PowerLink cable.

3. Connect the power supply into an AC outlet. Make sure the AC input

requirements of the power supply match the AC outlet.

(See caution statement below)

p

no

4. When the MS5145 is ready to scan, the green LED will turn on, the red LED

will flash and the scanner will beep once.

5. The MS5145‘s operation is automatic. The laser pulses on and off. The

green LED remains on during normal pulse operation and it blinks during

power save mode.

Operational Test

6. Place a bar code in front of the scanning window. While aiming at the bar

code with the blinking laser beam, press the CodeGate button, scanner will

beep once and flash the red LED if the bar code was successfully decoded.

s

7. The scanner is shipped from the factory programmed with default settings.

To configure the MS5145 scanner to meet the host system’s specific needs,

refer to the Programming Guide or custom configuration guide for

instructions on how to change the scanners default settings.

Caution:

To maintain compliance with federal regulations 21 CFR, Part 1040.10, section (f)(6) the scanner

must be plugged into an electrical outlet with a switch accessible to the user or be powered by a host

system containing a switch that will disable power to the scanner.

STANDARD RS232 SCANNER INSTALLATION

1. Turn off the host system.

2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 plug of the PowerLink cable into the jack on the

MS5145 RS232 scanner.

Note: If the MS5145 is receiving power from the host system, skip to step

#5. (See caution statement below*)

3. Connect the L-shaped plug of the power supply into the power jack on the

PowerLink cable. (See caution statement below**)

4. Make sure the AC input requirements of the power supply match the AC

outlet. Connect the power supply into an AC outlet.

5. Connect the PowerLink cable to the proper port on the host system.

6. Turn on the host system

7. When the MS5145 is ready to scan, the green LED will turn on, the red LED

will flash and the scanner will beep once.

Manufacturer’s Note:

Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not guarantee that the

scanned information will be communicated properly to the host system. The

scanner and/or the host system may need to be configured for communications

to occur.

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. 60950/UL 60950 and norm EN 60950, the

power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

**To maintain compliance with federal regulations 21 CFR, Part 1040.10, section (f)(6) the scanner

must be plugged into an electrical outlet with a switch accessible to the user or be powered by a host

system containing a switch that will disable power to the scanner.

KEYBOARD WEDGE SCANNER INSTALLATION

1. Turn off the host system.

2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 plug of the PowerLink cable into the jack on the

MS5145.

3. Disconnect the keyboard from the host system.

4. Connect the L-shaped plug of the power supply into the power jack on the

PowerLink cable (refer to the manufacturer’s recommendation and Note on
page 6).

5. Make sure the AC input requirements of the power supply match the AC

outlet. Connect the power supply into an AC outlet (see caution statement
on page 6**).

6. The PowerLink “Y” cable is terminated with a 5-pin DIN female connector on

one end, and a 6-pin mini DIN male on t

5

KEYBOARD WEDGE INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)

Manufacturer’s Recommendation

If the keyboard port of the host system cannot supply enough current, the use of

an external power supply with the MS5145 Keyboard Wedge will be necessary.

Powering the MS5145 directly from the computer keyboard connector could

interfere with the operation of the scanner or the computer. Not all computers

supply the same current through the keyboard port, so a scanner may work on

one computer and not another (see caution statement on page 5).

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. 60950/UL 60950 and norm EN 60950, the

power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

**To maintain compliance with federal regulations 21 CFR, Part 1040.10, section (f)(6) the scanner

must be plugged into an electrical outlet with a switch accessible to the user or be powered by a host

system containing a switch that will disable power to the scanner

Note: The center of the L-Shaped plug of the power supply is negative (“-“).

USB SCANNER INSTALLATION

1. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 plug of the PowerLink cable into the jack on the

MS5145 USB scanner.

Note: The MS5145 USB scanner will receive power directly from the host

system; no external power supply is required.

2. Connect the USB connector of the PowerLink cable into the USB port of the

host system.

no

3. When the MS5145 is ready to scan, the green LED will turn on, the red LED

will flash and the scanner will beep once.

7

DISCONNECTING THE POWERLINK CABLE FROM THE SCANNER

&

Before removing the cable from the scanner, Metrologic recommends that the

power on the host system is off and the power supply has been disconnected

from the PowerLink cable.

1. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the back of the scanner.

2. Bend an ordinary paperclip into the shape shown above.

3. Insert the paperclip (or other small metallic pin) into the small ‘pin-hole’.

4. You will hear a faint ‘click’. Pull gently on the strain-relief of the PowerLink

cable and it will slide out of the scanner.
