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.

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 (“-“).

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

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.
11
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.
