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.

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.

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 (“-“).

n

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.

8

SCANNER PARTS

1. Green & Red LEDs

The MS5145’s laser pulses on and off when no bar code is presented, and

stays on when it senses a bar code. The green LED remains on during

normal pulse and scanning operation, and it blinks during power save mode.

On a successful read of a bar code, the red LED will flash and the scanner

will beep once. The LEDs are also used as diagnostic indicators and mode

indicators.

2. Output Window

Laser Light emits from this aperture.

3. PowerLink Cable

The 10-pin modular plug on the PowerLink cable connects into the 10-pin

modular jack on the MS5145.

9

AUDIBLE INDICATORS

When the MS5145 scanner is operational, it provides audible feedback. These

sounds indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the

tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). To change the tone,

refer to the Configuration Guide.

One Beep – on power up

The green LED will turn on, then the red LED will flash and the

scanner will beep once. The red LED will remain on for the

duration of the beep. The scanner is now ready to scan.

One Beep – during operation

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED

will flash and the scanner will beep once (if programmed to do

so). If the scanner does not beep once and the red light does

not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

Three Beeps – during operation

When entering the program mode, the red LED will flash while

the scanner simultaneously beeps three times. The red LED

will continue to flash until the unit exits program mode. Upon

exiting program mode, the scanner will beep three times and

the red LED will stop flashing.

10

When configured for communication timeout, 3 beeps during

operation will indicate that a communication timeout has

occurred.

Three Beeps – on power up

This is a failure indicator. Refer to the Failure Modes section

of this guide on page 11.

Razzberry Tone

This is a failure indicator or an invalid code read during

program mode. Refer to the Failure Modes section of this

guide on page 12.

VISUAL INDICATORS

There is a red LED and a green LED on the MS5145. When the scanner is on,

the activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner.

Green and Red LEDs are off

The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving

power from the host or transformer.

Steady Green

Indicates normal pulse or continuous laser operation.

Accompanied by a razzberry tone, it indicates that an invalid

bar code has been scanned.

Flashing Green

After a period of inactivity, the ON time of the pulsing laser will

be shortened. During this time the green LED will flash. This

indicates that the scanner is in a power saver mode. When a

bar code enters the laser field, the scanner will wake up and

return to normal pulse mode.

Steady Green and Single Red Flash

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the red LED

will flash and the scanner will beep. If the red LED does not

flash and the scanner does not beep, then the bar code has

not been successfully read.

Steady Green and Steady Red

After a successful read, the scanner transmits the data to the

host device. Some communication modes require that the host

inform the scanner when data is ready to be received. If the

host is not ready to accept the information, the scanner’s red

LED will remain on until the data can be transmitted.

Steady Green and Continuous Flashing Red

When entering the program mode, the red LED will flash, the

green LED will turn on and the scanner will beep three times.

The red LED will continue to flash and the green LED will stay

on until the unit exits the program mode.

11

FAILURE MODES

One Razzberry Tone on Power-up

This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser or flipper

subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair to a Metrologic

Authorized Service Center.

Continuous Razzberry Tone with all LEDs off

If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry

tone, then the scanner has an experienced an electronic

failure. Return the unit for repair to a Metrologic Authorized

Service Center.

Three Beeps – on power up

If the scanner beeps 3 times on power up then, the non-volatile

memory (NovRAM) that holds the scanner configuration has

failed. Return the unit for repair to a Metrologic Authorized

Service Center.

RS-232 DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM

If an RS-232 scanner is not communicating with your IBM compatible PC, key in

the following BASIC program to test that the communication port and scanner are

working. This program is for demonstration purposes only. It is only intended to

prove that cabling is correct, the communication port is working, and the scanner

is working. If the bar code data displays on the screen while using this program,

it only demonstrates that the hardware interface and scanner are working. At this

point, investigate whether the application software and the scanner configuration

match. If the application does not support RS-232 scanners, a software wedge

program that will take RS-232 data and place it into a keyboard buffer may be

needed. This program tells the PC to ignore RTS-CTS, Data Set Ready (DSR)

and Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signals. If the demonstration program works and

yours still does not, jumper RTS to CTS and Data Terminal Ready (DTR) to DCD

and DSR on the back of your PC.

Metrologic warrants and represents that all MS5100 scanners are free of all defects in

material, workmanship and design, and have been produced and labeled in compliance

with all applicable U.S. Federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances pertaining

to their production and labeling.

This warranty is limited to repair, replacement of Product or refund of Product price at the

sole discretion of Metrologic. Faulty equipment must be returned to Metrologic. To do this,

In the event that it is determined the equipment failure is covered under this warranty,

Metrologic shall, at its sole option, repair the Product or replace the Product with a

functionally equivalent unit and return such repaired or replaced Product without charge

for service or return freight, whether distributor, dealer/reseller, or retail consumer, or

refund an amount equal to the original purchase price.

This limited warranty does not extend to any Product which, in the sole judgement of

Metrologic, has been subjected to abuse, misuse, neglect, improper installation, or

accident, nor any damage due to use or misuse produced from integration of the Product

into any mechanical, electrical or computer system. The warranty is void if the case of

Product is opened by anyone other than Metrologic’s repair department or authorized

repair centers.

THIS LIMITED WARRANTY, EXCEPT AS TO TITLE, IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR

GUARANTEES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDES, WITHOUT

LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

PURPOSE UNDER THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE, OR ARISING OUT OF CUSTOM OR

CONDUCT. THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES PROVIDED HEREIN ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF

ANY OTHER RIGHTS OR REMEDIES. IN NO EVENT SHALL METROLOGIC BE LIABLE FOR ANY

INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, DAMAGES TO PERSON

OR PROPERTY, OR EFFECT ON BUSINESS OR PROPERTY, OR OTHER DAMAGES OR

EXPENSES DUE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE PRODUCT, EXCEPT AS STATED IN THIS

WARRANTY. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY LIABILITY OF METROLOGIC EXCEED THE ACTUAL

AMOUNT PAID TO METROLOGIC FOR THE PRODUCT. METROLOGIC RESERVES THE RIGHT

APPENDIX E

Notice

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio

frequency and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in

a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to

correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the

user’s authority to operate the equipment.

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 B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

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.

Remarque

Cet appareil numerique de la class B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

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 mortel. L'emploi d'appareils optiques avec cet équipement laser augmente le risque

d'endommagement de la vision.

Achtung

Die Verwendung anderer als der hier beschriebenen Steuerungen, Einstellungen oder Verfahren kann

eine lebensgefährliche 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 lebensgefährlichen 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 dei raggi laser pericolosi per la vita. Il cliente non deve assolutamente tentare di

riparare egli stesso lo scanner laser. Non guardate mai nel raggio laser, anche se credete che lo

scanner non sia attivo. Non aprite mai lo scanner per guardare dentro l’apparecchio. Se tuttavia lo fate,

potete esporVi a dei raggi laser pericolosi per la vita. L’uso di apparecchi ottici con questo

equipaggiamento laser aumenta il rischio di danni alla vista.
