Equipment (WEEE) Directive
2002/96/EC & Waste Batteries Directive
2006/66/EC

This Product, and its accessories, comply with the requirements of the
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/
EC. The batteries used in this Product comply with the requirements of
Directive 2006/66/EC.

Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS)
Directive 2002/95/EC

What is RoHS?

The European Union has mandated that high environmental stan­dards be met in the design and manufacture of electronic and electri­cal products sold in Europe, to reduce hazardous substances from
entering the environment. The “Restriction on Hazardous Sub­stances Directive (RoHS)” prescribes the maximum trace levels of
lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and flame retardants
PBB and PBDE that may be contained in a product. Only products
meeting these high environmental standards may be “placed on the
market” in EU member states after July 1, 2006.

RoHS Logo

Although there is no legal requirement to mark RoHS-compliant
products, Psion Inc. indicates its compliance with the directive as fol­lows:

The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or under­neath the battery in the battery compartment (or on a related acces­sory such as the charger or docking station) signifies that the
product is RoHS-compliant as per the EU directive. Other than as
noted below, a Psion product that does not have an accompanying
RoHS logo signifies that it was placed on the EU market prior to
July 1, 2006, and is thereby exempt from the directive.

Note: Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to

physical space limitations or as a result of their exempt status.

The label on the cradle contains LED indicators and a scan finder button. When the
button is pressed, the cradle transmits a “broadcast” message. All properly
configured scanners (Radio RX Timeout set to keep the radio “awake”) linked to that
base (through a bind or a join sequence) and within radio range coverage will emit a
beep sequence once every 2 seconds for 30 seconds. A scanner is considered to be
linked when the last transmission ends properly.

The scan finder works only in stand-alone layout (point to point or multiple readers).

1 INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

PowerScan

™

D8330 and PowerScan™ M8300 offer unsurpassed robustness and

ergonomics: clearly audible beeper and bright "good read" LEDs assist in areas where
noise levels are normally high; the aim mode, which helps point to the right code, has
now been extended to the whole PowerScan

™

family. Optical parts are completely
suspended on shock absorbers and a careful choice of the body materials, such as the
co-moulded rubber, protect the PowerScan

™

from damage due to falls.

New enhanced architecture, based on an M16 high-speed microprocessor, enables
exceptional performance for promptness and reading speed of standard codes as well
as the ability to read poorly printed and damaged codes. Patented Puzzle Solver
Technology™ adds further strength to the PowerScan’s powerful engine.

In all applications where mobility is a value, the new PowerScan

™

M8300 represents
the key to increase productivity and flexibility in the working area.
PowerScan

™

M8300 communicates through a low power, license free radio in the 433
MHz band (910 MHz for USA version) and allows bi-directional communication
between the base station and the host. PowerScan

™

M8300 also includes a display
and a 3-key push-button keypad. Thanks to these features, the operator can receive
information from the host, interact with the central system and visualize the code
read. The cordless system offers scalable solutions to solve simple applications and
complex projects:

 Point to point: each reader is associated with its own base station;
 Multipoint: up to 32 readers transmit data to one base station;
 Network: to cover a wide area, connecting up to 16 bases and 512 readers

simultaneously working in automatic roaming.

PowerScan

™

M8300 is 100% compatible with STAR-System™, the Psion RF narrow
band solution for mobile applications that provides the widest family of narrow band
devices on the market.

Your PowerScan

™

reader is supplied with its own Quick Reference Guide, which
provides connection, diagrams, reading diagrams, basic application parameter
settings, default values, and specific technical features. You can use either the Quick
Reference Guide or this Manual for initial configuration in order to set the default
values and select the interface for your application. This manual provides all the
necessary information for complete mechanical installation and system software
configuration.

2.8.1 BC-8060 Network Connectors

The multidrop network is a bus system which is propagated from one BC-8060 cradle
to another using individual cables. This is possible thanks to the RS-485 connector on
the front panel of the cradle.

Power Supply

RS-485

(BC-8060only)

All cradles are connected together within the bus system through the Psion
RS-485 splitter cable (CAB-428, part number 90A051950), which must be inserted in
the RS-485 cradle connector.

Cable length is to be kept to a minimum, as with all bus systems.

INSTALLATION

2.8.2 Network Cabling

The Multidrop line is made using RJ45 connectors and a cable having the following
specifications:

 twisted pair AWG 24 wires
 120  impedance
 maximum network cable length 1200 meters

When wiring the multidrop cables, note the following:

Pin 8 (or 7) can be connected only if the power has to be propagated from a cradle to
a STARGATE™ base station or STAR-Box™ converter via the cable.

Pins 5 (or 4) should always be connected as reference ground.

To avoid excessive voltage drop, it is recommended not to propagate power between
BC-8060 cradles when used as battery chargers but to supply each cradle
individually. The total number of devices, which can be connected to a single power
supply, depends on the power supply voltage, the wire length and resistance and
therefore the voltage drop. Do NOT connect VDC+ between network devices that are
individually powered.

2.8.3 Network Termination

The first and last cradles of the chain (the two ends of the bus) must be properly
terminated. The cradle has an internal terminator that can be selected via jumper. For
this selection you must open the device.

No Termination Static Dynamic

Terminator for Multidrop Network

Static termination works for all network configurations. However, the network is
always under load even when no data transmission takes place.

Dynamic termination can be used for baud rates at or above 38400 and provides less
load on the network when idle.
