1.1 Connectivity

To connect the scanner, plug the cable into the interface port of the scanner and connect it to the host. To remove the cable, straighten one end of a paper clip and insert it into the cable release hole to pull out the cable. For IDM160/260 series you need to push down the bracket of the enclosure clip and pull out the cable.

IDM120 Series

For IDM Bluetooth scanners the cable needs to be connected to the smart cradles. The cable inlet is on the bottom side of the cradles.

IDM140/240 Series

IDM160/260 Series

Ensure that the cable is pushed all the way into the RJ inlet of the base

1.1.1 Standard Interfaces (RS-232, USB)

IDM scanners support USB

and RS-232 Serial interfaces.

• USB HID (Human Interface Device): The scanner works as a generic USB Keyboard.

• USB COM: The scanner works as a RS-232 serial device. Please note that you have to install the USB

COM Port driver (available on www.sick.com

) before use.

USB is not suitable for use in industrial environments. Therefore, at cable installation it is important to ensure that there are no close

sources of interference.

2.1 Preparation before using

2.1.1 Battery installation

1. Ensure the battery contacts of the battery pack are facing the charging contacts inside the battery cavity.

2. Slide the battery pack into the battery cavity until hearing a click sound before locking it with the end cap. The scanner will give 4 beeps when the battery pack is installed properly if the battery pack still has power.

3. Secure the end cap with the screw provided.

You can use the overlapping battery label to pull out the battery if needed.

2.1.2 Charging the battery

1. Choose an appropriate plug for your country and slide it into the power adapter cavity until it is locked. Then plug the AC power plug into the AC wall socket.

Please make sure the USB bus power switch is in “OFF” position.

3. Plug the DC power cord of the power supply unit into the DC Jack of the cradle. The smart cradle emits the power-on beeps and the central (IDMx4x)/ upper (IDMx6x) power indicator gives one blue blink. If you use the charging cradle, the central (IDMx4x)/ upper (IDMx6x) power indicator turns steady blue.

4. Place the scanner on the cradle. The status indicator of scanner will turn steady red if the battery is not fully charged. When the battery is fully charged, the status indicator of the scanner turns steady green.

Please note the important battery information on the next page!

Afterwards push the scanner head down.

Important information: Please charge the new battery pack for 8 hours prior to the first use. Ensure

& IDM Bluetooth

that you are using a battery with enough capacity. Otherwise the scanner might lose its radio connection. As soon as the scanner gives warning messages (one red blink and one beep at a regular interval) the scanner needs to be recharged. If the scanner gives 8 red blinks and 8 beeps, the battery power is extremely low. In that case the battery needs to be recharged immediately! If the scanner is not placed into the charging cradle right the way, the scanner turns off automatically. Due to an internal protection circuit there will now be measured 0 V on the outside contacts of the battery. If the battery is not recharged immediately, a further discharge takes place even though the scanner is turned off. Due to the internal chemical processes of lithium ion batteries, this will then result in an irreversible

2.1.3 Placing the scanner into the cradle

Ensure that the scanner is placed properly into the respective smart or charging cradle. If the unit is not placed correctly into the cradle, the charging might not start.

IDMx41: Insert the scanner

IDMx61: Insert the back of the scanner first.

The correct placement into the cradle can be verified by the charging LED on the scanner. (See also chapter

2.1.5 on page 14)

2.1.4 USB Bus power

• If USB 3.0 is available in your host device, both battery charging and regular operation can be supported by the USB Bus Power without using external power supply.

• If you want to use this feature, set the USB bus power switch to “ON”. Then connect the cradle and host device via an USB cable.

• If only USB 2.0 is available in your host device the external power supply is necessary as a power source, because the power supplied from USB 2.0 is not enough to support both battery charging and regular operation simultaneously.

2.3.1 PAIR Mode

In PAIR mode, one smart cradle will work with one scanner. The smart cradle does not only provide the Bluetooth radio link with the scanner, but also offers the legacy cabled interfaces to the host device, including USB HID, USB COM, and RS-232 serial.

Use IDM Hand-held scanner in PAIR Mode:

1. Ensure the battery is fully charged. Refer to the section of “2.1.2 Charging the battery” for details.

2. Choose the interface cable, plug it into the smart cradle and connect it to the host device. (Refer to chapter “1.1 Connectivity” for details.)

3. Turn on the power of your host device.

4. Note that if the scanner is shipped together with a smart cradle, they are pre-paired already. You will see the link indicator of the scanner shows 1 blue blink per 2.5 seconds and the central (IDMx41)/ upper (IDMx61) power indicator of the smart cradle turns steady blue. If the scanner and smart cradle just give alternative red and green blinks (“Uninstall” state), please follow step 5 to establish the connection between scanner and smart cradle.

5. Scan the “PAIR mode” command. The status indicator of the scanner will turn steady red immediately.

Place the scanner into the smart cradle. You will hear one short beep to indicate the activation of the pairing process. The scanner will emit continuous short clicks and the link indicator of the scanner will flash blue quickly during the pairing process. When you hear 4 beeps in ascending tone, the pairing process is completed. You will see that the link indicator of the scanner gives 1 blue blink per 2.5 seconds and the central (IDMx41)/ upper (IDMx61) power indicator of the smart cradle turns steady blue. If the scanner pairing process failed or if the scanner is not placed into the smart cradle within 20 seconds, you will hear 2 “Di-do Di-do” beeps indicating that the pairing process was not successful. The scanner will return to the uninstall state automatically.

6. Scan the corresponding host interface quick set command (chapter 5.7) to complete the installation.

The default host interface of the smart cradle is preset to USB HID. If you want to set the host interface to USB COM you need to install the USB COM Port driver (available on www.sick.com

3 Configuration via Barcodes

3.1 Programming Commands

The IDM scanner bar code commands are specially designed proprietary bar code labels which allow you to set the IDM Scanner’s internal programming parameters. There are System Command, Family Code and Option Code for programming purpose. Each programmable family and bar code command label is listed on the same page with major system commands. The detailed explanations and special programming flowchart are printed on facing or following pages. The Option Codes and System Commands can be found in the appendix on page 128 and 130.

3.1.1 System Command

The System Command is the highest level bar code command which directs the IDM Scanner to perform immediate operations, such as entering programming mode (PROGRAM), exiting programming mode (EXIT), listing system information (SYSLIST), recovering to factory preset configurations (M_DEFAULT) and so on. Please note that all system commands will take a few seconds to complete the operations. User must wait for the completion beeps before scanning another bar code.

3.1.2 Family Code

The Family Code is scanned to select the user desired programming family. IDM Scanner has already provided more than one hundred programming families to meet any specific requirements.

3.1.3 Option Code

The Option Codes is a set of bar code commands represented by “0–9”, “A–F” and finishing selection (FIN). For most setting, you must select at least one option code following the family code selection to set the desired parameter for the selected programming family. The Option Codes can be found on page 128.

3.2 Programming Procedures

As you scan the bar code command to select the desired parameters, information about the final selected parameters represented by the bar code commands are stored in the Hand-held scanner’s internal Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory. If you turn off the unit, the Flash Memory ASIC or non-volatile memory retains all programming options. You don’t need to re-program the IDM Scanner if you want to keep the existing configurations in the next power on. The programming procedures of the IDM Scanner are designed as simple as possible for ease of setting. Most programming families take the “Single Scan Selection” programming procedure. But several programming families have more complex and flexible programmable options, and you must take “Multiple Scan Selection”, “Cycling Scan Selection” or “Dual Level Selection” to complete their programming procedures. Each kind of programming procedure is listed in the following pages for your reference. Please give careful attention to become familiar with each programming procedure.
