4. SETTING UP

Proceed as follows to set up the IS1000:

• Charge the laser reader battery

• Connect the radio base to the host or terminal by a special cable corresponding to the type of

interface selected (the terminal must be turned off before connection)

• Turn on the terminal

• If necessary, connect the radio base to the mains power supply by its power supply unit

• Set up the communication between the laser reader and radio base

• Configure the communication mode

• Configure the symbologies

4.1. Charging the Battery

Connect the laser reader to the charger as shown below (read window facing upwards).

Plug the power supply unit to the mains power supply.

The red charge LED (visible through the window) lights up and remains lit when charging.

The LED flashes when the charge is complete.

A full charge lasts approximately 3 hours.

Do not charge the laser reader after exposing it to very low or high temperatures.

It is recommended to charge the laser reader at an ambient temperature of between 0°C

and 45° C.

! Recommendation:

IS1000 – Installation and User’s Guide

4.2. Connecting the Radio Base to the Host

Each type of connection requires a different cable.

The cable part numbers are given in:

• The IS1000 Connection List

• The booklet IS1000 First Installation and Quick and Easy Set-up Bar Code Menu,

for.the most common connections

4.2.1. Examples of Connections

• RS232 Mode

• PC Keyboard-Wedge Mode

Do not use the power supply unit in PC Keyboard-Wedge mode.

4.2.2. Connection Procedure

The connections must always be made with the equipment turned off (radio

base and terminal).

The radio base power supply is provided by:

- The terminal by the cable connecting it to the radio base, via the DB25

connector, or

- Externally by a 12 V power supply unit connected to the mains power supply.

• Connect the cable to the terminal and to the DB25 connector on the radio base

• Turn on the terminal, which automatically turns on the radio base, when the

radio base power supply is via the DB25 connector

• If the radio base uses external power supply unit, connect it to the mains power

supply which automatically turns on the radio base.

• When the radio base is turned on, its red LED lights up and 6 beeps are emitted.

4.3. Linking the Laser Reader to the Radio Base

The first time the IS1000 is used, initialize the communication between the laser reader

and its radio base.

This is done by scanning the radio base ID bar code, located on the top of the base with

the laser reader.

Scanning of the label identifies the laser reader to the radio base and enables

communication.

The laser reader cannot read the radio base ID bar code if a parameter setting procedure

is in progress. To exit from configuration mode, read the code End of Configuration.

4.4. Programming the Communication Mode

Several communication modes are possible:

• RS232 (default mode)

• Keyboard-Wedge

• OCIA

• RS485

• USB interface

The most commonly used communication modes are listed in the IS1000 First Installation

and Quick and Easy Set-up Bar Code Menu.

The other modes are described in the IS1000 Configuration Guide.

Depending on the communication interface (other than RS232), it is mandatory to know

the connection number (ID) corresponding to your application.

This connection ID depends on the interface and hardware used.

It is given in the IS1000 Connection List.

To configure the communication mode, refer to the IS1000 Configuration Guide.
