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 NETWORK CONNECTIONS

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)

MULTI-INTERFACE

RS-232, USB, Wedge,

PEN Emulation

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

Pin Function 1 RS-485 + 2 RS-485 3 N.C. 4 VDC – 5 VDC – 6 N.C. 7 VDC + 8 VDC +

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.

System cables to Host

In this layout the BC-80X0 cradle is connected by a dedicated cable using the RS-232 interface to a C-BOX connection box as part of a fixed scanner network. This allows the flexibility of a hand-held reading station integrated into a variety of fixed scanning applications so that all readers (both fixed and hand-held), in the system provide communications to the Host.

The various C-BOX models provide many interface types for the Host system such as RS-232, RS-485, or Profibus.

POWERSCAN™ M8300 SYSTEM AND NETWORK LAYOUTS

3.2 MULTIDROP STAR-SYSTEM™ NETWORK LAYOUTS

Even though many stand-alone systems can operate in the same physical area without interfering with each other, it may be desirable to bridge data from multiple base stations in a network to a single Host. PowerScan

™

M8300 readers are compatible with STAR-System™ networks. These networks provide seamless active roaming for any RF reading device in the system.

Example: Multidrop STAR-System™ Network with Host as Master

In this layout the Host acts as the Master using STAR-Link™ software. The Host is connected in RS-232 to a STAR-Box™ converter, which is connected to the first slave in the RS-485 network. In this way the base stations provide communications between a single Host and all readers in the system. STARGATE™ base stations are used as slaves in this network. The Slaves at the ends of the network must be terminated (see the STARGATE™ and STAR-Box™ Installation Manuals and section

2.8.3).

See “Powerscan™ M8300/Star-System™ Setup” and “BC-8060 Star-System™ Network Setup” (sections 4.6 and 4.7), or the original manufacturer’s Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line, for system configuration specifications.

In this layout a BC-8060 cradle acts as the Master. The Host is connected to the BC-8060 Master using any one of the multi-standard interfaces (RS-232, USB, WEDGE, or PEN Emulation). The Master is then connected to the slaves in the RS-485 network. In this way the slave cradles provide communications between a single Host and all readers in the system. STARGATE™ base stations can also be used as slaves in this network. The devices at the ends of the network must be terminated (see section

2.8.3).

POWERSCAN™ M8300 SYSTEM AND NETWORK LAYOUTS

3.2.3 Master BC-8060 Network Troubleshooting

Two diagnostic strings can be sent via RS-232 from the Host to the Master cradle in order to have feedback about the network itself.

#+LSlave

Returns a list of all the Slaves recognized at boot up.

Example:

In a network where the Master cradle has address 0188 and one Slave cradle with address 0001, the response is:

188 1

#+Alive<xxxx>

Executes a continuous Alive request to the slave xxxx in order to monitor the performance of the connection. A diagnostic message is displayed on the Host.

Example:

If this command is sent for slave cradle with address 0032, the response is:

/*32: BC-80X0 SOFTWARE RELEASE 1.00 20/10/2006*/

if there are no communication errors

/*32: FAIL*/

if there are communication errors.

To exit from this command, reset the system by cycling power to the Master cradle.

4.9 USB READER CONFIGURATION

The USB interface is available for PowerScan and is compatible with the following Operating Systems:

Windows 98 (and later) IBM POS for Windows Mac OS 8.0 (and later) 4690 Operating System

USB Start-up

As with all USB devices, upon connection, the Host performs several checks by communicating with the device. During this phase normal operations are suspended (the LED on the PowerScan

™

D8330 reader blinks). Two basic conditions must be met before the device is ready, the correct USB driver must be loaded and sufficient power must be supplied to the reader.

 For all systems, the correct USB driver for

the default USB-KBD interface is included in the Host Operating System and will either be loaded automatically or will be suggested by the O.S. and should therefore be selected from the dialog box (the first time only). Normally the Host supplies sufficient power to the device and the start-up phase ends correctly. (The reader's LED stops blinking and the reader emits the beep OK signal). In rare cases, if the Host does not supply sufficient power to the device, a dialog box will appear on the Host and the device will be blocked (the reader's LED continues blinking). In this case, disconnect the USB device cable at the Host (the reader's LED stops blinking), and then try a different USB port as indicated by the Operating System message. (The device emits the beep OK signal. You can now read codes).

 At this point you can read the USB interface configuration code according to your

application. Load drivers from the O.S. (if requested). When configuring the USB-COM interface, the relevant files and drivers must be installed from the USB Device Installation software, which can be downloaded from the original manufacturer’s web page at http://www.scanning.datalogic.com.

The device is ready. Successive start-ups will automatically recognize the previously loaded drivers.

4.10 CHANGING DEFAULT SETTINGS

Once your reader is setup, you can change the default parameters to meet your application needs. Refer to the preceding paragraphs for initial configuration in order to set the default values and select the interface for your application.

In this manual, the configuration parameters are divided into logical groups making it easy to find the desired function based on its reference group.

The first four groups are for Standard Interface parameter configuration for all PowerScan configurations only:

RS-232

USB

WEDGE

PEN EMULATION

NETWORK PARAMETERS are available only for BC-8060 Network configurations.

The following parameter groups are common to all interface applications:

DATA FORMAT parameters regard the messages sent to the Host system for all

interfaces except Pen Emulation.

POWER SAVE manages overall current consumption in the reading device. READING PARAMETERS control various operating modes and indicator status

functioning.

DECODING PARAMETERS maintain correct barcode decoding in certain special

reading conditions.

CODE SELECTION parameters allow configuration of a personalized mix of codes,

code families and their options.

ADVANCED FORMATTING PARAMETERS allow code concatenation and advanced

formatting of messages towards the Host. It cannot be used with Pen Emulation connections.

RADIO PARAMETERS (M8300 series only) allow configuration of radio control

parameters.

DISPLAY PARAMETERS (some M8300 series models only) allow configuration of

reader display parameters.

KEYBOARD SETTING

ALPHANUMERIC KEYBOARD SETTING

The device (reader or cradle) can be used with terminals or PCs with various keyboard types and nationalities through a simple keyboard setting procedure.

The type of computer or terminal must be selected before activating the keyboard setting command.

Keyboard setting consists of communicating to the device how to send data corresponding to the keyboard used in the application. The keys must be set in a specific order.

Press and release a key to set it.

Some characters may require more than one key pressed simultaneously during normal use (refer to the manual of your PC or terminal for keyboard use). The exact sequence must be indicated to the reader in this case pressing and releasing the different keys.

Example:

If one has to press the "Shift" and "4" keys simultaneously on the keyboard to transmit the character "$" to the video, to set the "$", press and release "Shift" then press and release "4".

Each pressed and released key must generate an acoustic signal on the device; otherwise repress the key. Never press more than one key at the same time, even if this corresponds to the normal use of your keyboard.

Press "Backspace" to correct a wrong key entry. In this case the device emits 2 beeps. NOTE: "CAPS LOCK" and "NUM LOCK" must be off before starting the keyboard setting procedure. "SHIFT" must be repressed for each character and cannot be substituted by "CAPS LOCK".

Some ASCII characters may be missing, depending on the keyboard type. These are generally particular characters relative to the various national symbologies. In this case:

 The first 4 characters (Shift, Alt, Ctrl, and Backspace) can only be substituted with keys not

used, or substituted with each other.

 Characters can be substituted with other single symbols (e.g. "SPACE") even if not included

in the barcode set used.

 Characters can be substituted with others corresponding to your keyboard.

The device signals with 2 beeps to indicate the keys have been registered.

Do not place the reader onto the BC-80X0 cradle during this procedure. Otherwise, battery charging will occur, modifying the LEDS’ functioning.
