Product Overview

The MS9530 Series Voyager RF is a wireless single line hand-held scanner with one bi-directional RF channel radio which provides about 20-30 meters portability.

It has got a battery pack which can be removed from the unit to be charged through a Wall-Power supply in about 110 min. No charging stand is required.

Once charged the unit can read and transmit more than 30,000 readings. In order to save the battery charge, the unit will enter into standby mode, when left idle. To “wake” the unit, and begin scanning, simply press the CodeGate button located on the head of the scanner. When idle mode, the battery is still supplying the unit and its charge will last for approximately 5 days.

To interface with the host, a Base Station is provided which allows the scanner to transfer data to Host via various interfaces, including: Wedge, RS232, Light Pen and OCIA emulation.

Every time the unit is activated, it will try to link with the Base Station for a few seconds. In the event that there is no response, for example, the Base Station is turned off or the unit is out of range etc, the scanner will give an error beep and will keep the unit locked with the Green and Red LEDs “on” until the user presses the CodeGate button. Once pressed, the unit will work normally once the problem is solved.

The unit has Green and Red LED indicators to inform the user of the scanner’s status. Basically, the Green LED is used for scanning issues and the Red LED is used for radio transmissions.

There is also a beeper which provides an audible indicator for low battery, errors, successful operations, programming mode and start up diagnostics.

As long as the Voyager RF has got a decoder built-in, it has got its own programming manual which can be used to program decoding issues as well as the RF interface (Base Station serial number, Mobil ID, and so on….)
