INTRODUCTION

The MS5145 Eclipse is a singl e-line, hand-held laser scanne r.

Equipped with Metrologic’s patented CodeGate technol ogy, Eclipse can be

used in a wide variety of applications. Cod eGate technology allows the user to

easily target the desired bar cod e and complete the data transmission with a

simple press of a button. This combination mak es Ecli pse a perfect selection

for menu scanning, point-of-sale, docum ent processing and inventor y control.

With Metrologic’s state-of-the-art scanning technolog y embe dded inside, the

MS5145 Eclipse has a longer working range and a wider scan field than a

typcial CCD. The width of the scan line grows as the scanner moves further away

from bar codes. In addition, the laser beam pulses making lining up bar codes

easy, and when the scanner senses a b ar code (CodeSense™ Mode), the laser

beam automatically s witches to scan mode and activates CodeGate to ensure

high-speed scanning a nd acc uracy.

Many of the standard features include: PowerLink User-replaceable cables, Bits

‘n’ Pieces™ data editing, User Fr ie ndly Programming using MetroSel ect™ bar

codes, or MetroSet 2 Windows-based configur ation utility.

To configure the MS5145 scanner to meet the host s ystem’s specific ne eds,

refer to the Programming Guide or custom configurati on guide for

instructions on how to change the scanners def ault settings.

Caution:

To maintain compliance with federal regulations 21 CFR, Part 1040.10, section (f)(6) the scanner

must be plugged into an electrical outlet with a switch accessible to the user or be powered by a host

system containing a switch that will disable power to the scanner.

STANDARD RS232 SCANNER INSTALLATION

1. Turn off the host system.

2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 plug of the Po werLink cable into the jack on the

MS5145 RS232 scanner.

Note: If the MS5145 is receiving power from the host system, skip to step

#5. (See caution statement below*)

3. Connect the L-shaped plug of the po wer supply into the power jack on the

PowerLink cable. (See caution statement below**)

4. Make sure the AC input requirements of the power supply match the AC

outlet. Connect the power supply into an AC outlet.

6. Turn on the host system

7. When the MS5145 is ready to scan, the gree n LED will turn on, the red LED

will flash and the scanner will bee p once.

Manufacturer’s Note:

Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not gu arantee that the

scanned information will be communic ated properly to the host system. The

scanner and/or the host system may need to be configured for comm unic ations

to occur.

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 60950.

*To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950/UL 60950 and norm EN 60950, the

power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

KEYBOARD WEDG E INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)

Manufacturer’s Recommendation

If the keyboard port of the host system cannot supply enough current, the use of

an external power supply with the MS5145 Keybo ard W ed ge wil l be necessary.

Powering the MS5145 directly from the computer keybo ard connector could

interfere with the operation of the scanner or the c omputer. Not all computers

supply the same current through the keybo ard port, so a scanner may work on

one computer and not another (see caution statement on page 5).

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 60950.

*To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950/UL 60950 and norm EN 60950, the

power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

**To maintain compliance with federal regulations 21 CFR, Part 1040.10, section (f)(6) the scanner

must be plugged into an electrical outlet with a switch accessible to the user or be powered by a host

system containing a switch that will disable power to the scanner

Note: The center of the L-Shaped plug of the power supply is negative (“-“).

USB SCANNER INSTALLATION

1. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 plug of the Po werLink cable into the jack on the

MS5145 USB scanner.

Note: The MS5145 USB scanner will receive power directly from the host

system; no external power supply is required.

2. Connect the USB connector of the PowerLink cable into the USB port of the

host system.

3. When the MS5145 is ready to scan, the gree n LED will turn on, the red LED

will flash and the scanner will beep once.

DISCONNECTING THE POWERLINK CABLE F ROM THE SCANNER

Before removing the cable from the scanner, Metrologic recomme nds that the

power on the host system is off and the power supply has been discon nected

from the PowerLink cable.

1. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the back of the scanner.

2. Bend an ordinary pap erclip into the shape shown a bove.

3. Insert the paperclip (or other small metallic pin) into the small ‘ pin-hole’.

4. You will hear a faint ‘click’. Pull gentl y on the strain-rel i ef of the PowerLink

cable and it will slide out of the scanner.

SCANNER PARTS

1. Green & Red LEDs

The MS5145’s laser pulses on an d off when no bar code is presented, and

stays on when it senses a bar code. The green LED remains o n dur ing

normal pulse and scanning ope ration, and it blinks during power sav e mode.

On a successful read of a bar code, the red LED will flash and th e scan ner

will beep once. The LEDs are also use d as dia g nostic indicators and mode

indicators.

2. Output Window

Laser Light emits from this aperture.

3. PowerLink Cable

The 10-pin modular plug on the P owerLink cable connects into the 10-pin

modular jack on the MS5145.

AUDIBLE INDICATORS

When the MS5145 scanner is operatio nal, it provides audible feedback. T hese

sounds indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are availa ble for the

tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and n o tone). T o change the tone,

refer to the Configuration Guide.

One Beep – on power up

The green LED will turn on, then the red LED wil l flash and the

scanner will beep once. T he red LED will remain on for the

duration of the beep. The scanner is no w ready to scan.

One Beep – during operation

When the scanner successfully r eads a bar code, the red LED

will flash and the scanner will beep once (if programmed to do

so). If the scanner does not beep once and the red l ight does

not flash, then the bar code has not been successfull y read.

Three Beeps – during operation

When entering the program mode, the red LED will flash while

the scanner simultaneous l y beeps three times. The red LED

will continue to flash until the unit exits program mode. Upo n

exiting program mode, the scanner will beep three times and

the red LED will stop flashing.

When configured for communication time out, 3 bee ps during

operation will indicate that a communic ation timeout has

occurred.

Three Beeps – on power up

This is a failure indicator. Refer to the Failure Modes section

of this guide on page 11.

Razzberry Tone

This is a failure indicator or an invalid cod e read during

program mode. Refer to the Failure Modes section of this

guide on page 12.

VISUAL INDICATORS

There is a red LED and a green LE D on the MS5145. When the scanner is on,

the activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner.

Green and Red LEDs are off

The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving

power from the host or transformer.

Steady Green

Indicates normal pulse or continuous las er operation.

Accompanied by a razzberry tone, it indicates that an inv alid

bar code has been scanned.

Flashing Green

After a period of inactivity, the ON time of the pulsing laser will

be shortened. During this time the green LED will flash. This

indicates that the scanner is in a power saver mode. When a

bar code enters the laser field, the scanner will wake up and

return to normal pulse mode.

Steady Green and Single Red Flash

When the scanner successfully r eads a bar code, the red LED

will flash and the scanner will beep. If the red LED does not

flash and the scanner does not beep, then the b ar cod e has

not been successfully read.

Steady Green and Steady Red

After a successful read, the scanner transmits the data to the

host device. Some communication modes require that the host

inform the scanner when data is ready to be rec eived. If the

host is not ready to accept the information, the scanner’s red

LED will remain on until the data can be transmitte d.

Steady Green and Continuous Flashing Red

When entering the program mode, the red LED will flash, the

green LED will turn on and the scanner will beep three times.

The red LED will continue to flash and th e green LED will stay

on until the unit exits the program mode.

FAILURE MODES

One Razzberry Tone on Power-up

This indicates the scanner has experi enced a laser or flipper

subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair to a Metrologic

Authorized Service Center.

Continuous Razzberry Tone with all LEDs off

If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry

tone, then the scanner has an experienced an e lectron ic

failure. Return the unit for repair to a Metrologic Authorized

Service Center.

Three Beeps – on power up

If the scanner beeps 3 times on power up then, the non-volatil e

memory (NovRAM) that holds the scanner configur ation has

failed. Return the unit for repair to a Metrologic Authorize d

Service Center.
