INTRODUCTION
Caution and Serial Number Labels
Figure 3. 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.
Maintenance
Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. The output window should be routinely cleaned with glass cleaner sprayed onto a lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth.

1. Drill three #39 pilot holes. Note the position OrbitCG will rest (see Figure 5). Use the dimensions provided in figure x or the locking plate as a template to drill three #39 pilot holes in the mounting surface.
2. Attach the locking plate to the wall/counter. Secure the locking plate to the counter/wall with the three #7 x 1.00" wood screws provided (see Figure 6).
3. Attach the base plate to the OrbitCG. Secure the base cover to the bottom of OrbitCG using the four M3 x 8 mm screws provided (see Figure 7).
4. Mount OrbitCG to the locking plate. Hold OrbitCG 90° clockwise from the desired position then lower it over the locking plate until it sits flush to the countertop. Twist OrbitCG counter clockwise 90° to lock the scanner in place (see Figure 8).

INSTALLATION

RS232, Light Pen Emulation
1. Turn off the host device.
2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS7180.
3. Connect the 9-pin female end of the PowerLink cable to 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 and be easily accessible.
5. Connect AC power to the transformer.
6. Turn on the host device.
Figure 9.
When the scanner first receives power, the blue and white LED will toggle on and off then the scanner will beep once.
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 setting are also required for proper communication to occur.
Powering the MS7180 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, Metrologic recommends using an external power supply. For additional information contact a Metrologic customer service representative.

INSTALLATION
IBM 46xx
1. Turn off the host device.
2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the MVC cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS7180.
3. Connect the other end of the MVC cable to the host device.
4. Turn on the host device.
When the scanner first receives power, the blue and white LED will toggle on and off then the scanner will beep once.
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 setting are also required for proper communication to occur.

INSTALLATION
Keyboard Wedge
1. Turn off the host device.
2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the MS7180.
3. Disconnect the keyboard from the host device.
4. Connect the “Y” end of the PowerLink cable to the keyboard and the keyboard port on the host PC. If necessary use the male/female adapter cable supplied with the scanner for proper 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 and be easily accessible.
6. Connect AC power to the transformer.
7. Turn on the host device.
When the scanner first receives power, the blue and white LED will toggle on and off then the scanner will beep once.
Powering the MS7180 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 through the keyboard port. For this reason, Metrologic recommends using an external power supply. For additional information contact a Metrologic customer service representative.

Plugging the scanner into the USB port of the PC does not guarantee that scanned information will appear at the PC. A software driver and the correct configuration settings are also required for proper communication to occur.
For Previous User’s of the MS7120 Orbit* with an MX009:
The following bar code must be scanned in order for the new integrated USB MS7180 OrbitCG to function with the same serial emulation driver as the old external USB MS7120.
