Cable Installation and Removal

Installation

Important: If the cable is not fully latched, the unit can power intermittently.

Figure 2. Connecting the Cable

1. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the cable into the 10-pin socket on the scanner.

There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages.

2. Gently pull on the cable strain relief to insure the cable is securely installed.

Removal

Before removing the cable from the scanner, Metrologic recommends that power to the host system be turned off. If the cable is a PowerLink cable, disconnect the power supply on the cable.

Figure 3. Releasing the Cable

1. Locate the small dimple on the handle of the unit near the cable connection.

2. Bend an ordinary paperclip into the shape shown above in Figure 3.

3. To release the cable lock, push the end of the paperclip through the rubber

on the handle where the dimple is located.

4. There will be an audible click when the connector lock releases. Pull gently

on the strain-relief of the cable to separate the cable from the scanner.

INTRODUCTION

Labels

Every MS9590 and MS9591 has a serial number label located on the underside of the scanner head and molded text on the scanner handle. The label and molded text provide important information such as the unit’s date of manufacture, serial number, CE and caution information. See Figure 4 for examples of these items and their location on the scanner.

Figure 4 . Molded Text and Serial Number Label

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.

SCANNER INSTALLATION

RS232 (-14)

1. Turn off the host device.

2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the

PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the scanner. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages.

3. Connect the 9-pin D-type connector

of the PowerLink cable to the proper COM port on the host device.

If the scanner is receiving power from the host system, skip to step #6.

4. Plug the power supply into the power

jack on the PowerLink cable.

Check the AC in input

requirements of the power supply to verify 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.

The scanner is shipped from the factory configured to set of default conditions. Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not guarantee that the scanned information will be communicated properly to the host device. The scanner and host device must use the same communication protocol. Please refer to the MetroSelect SingleLine Configuration Guide or the help files provided with MetroSet2 for instructions on changing the scanner’s factory default configuration.

See caution on page 6.

USB is the default communication protocol for an MS9590-106 and the MS9591-106. If the recall defaults bar code is scanned after the unit has been configured for RS485, the scanner will revert to the USB default communication protocol. The bar code above will need to be rescanned to return the unit to the RS485 communication protocol.

See caution on page 6.

The type of host connection available on an MVC cable is application dependent.

Contact a customer service representative at 1-800-ID-METRO for additional information on the MVC converter cable series.

SCANNER INSTALLATION

Keyboard Wedge (-47)

1. Turn off the host device.

2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the cable

into the 10-pin socket on the scanner. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages.

3. Disconnect the host device's keyboard.

4. Connect the "Y" ends of the cable to

the keyboard and keyboard port on the host device. If necessary, use the male/female adapter cable supplied with the scanner cable to make the proper connections.

If the scanner is receiving power from the host system, skip to step #7.

5. Plug the power supply into the power

jack on the PowerLink cable.

Check the AC in input

requirements of the power supply to verify the voltage matches the AC outlet. The outlet must be located near the equipment and be easily accessible.

Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not guarantee that the scanned information will be communicated properly to the host device. The scanner and host device must use the same communication protocol. Please refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide or the help files provided with MetroSet2 for instructions on changing the scanner’s factory default configuration.

Powering the MS9590-47 or the MS9591-47 directly from the host device may cause interference with the operation of the scanner or the host device. Not all host devices supply the same current through the keyboard port. Contact a Metrologic, customer service representative for information on available external power supplies.

See caution on page 6.
