INSTALLING THE IS6520-47/MS6520-47 TO THE PC

1. Turn off the PC.

2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the jack on the Cubit™ IS6520/MS6520. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made.

3. Connect the L-shaped plug of the power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable. Refer to Manufacturer’s Recommendation below.

4. Connect the power supply into an AC outlet. Make sure the AC input requirements of the power supply match the AC outlet.

5. Disconnect the keyboard from the PC.

6. The PowerLink cable is terminated with a 5-pin DIN female connector on one end, and a 6-pin mini DIN male on the other. Metrologic will supply an adapter cable with a 5-pin DIN male connector on one end and a 6-pin mini DIN female connector on the other. According to the termination required, connect the appropriate end of the adapter cable to the PowerLink cable, leaving the necessary termination exposed for connecting to the keyboard and the keyboard port on the PC. Refer to Appendix C page 31 for pin assignments.

7. Connect to the PowerLink cable to the keyboard and the keyboard port on the PC.

Manufacturer’s Recommendation:

Metrologic recommends the use of an external power supply with IS6520- 47/MS6520 Keyboard Wedge applications. Powering the IS6520-47/MS6520 directly from the computer keyboard connector could interfere with the operation of the scanner or the computer. Not all computers supply the same current through the keyboard port, explaining why a scanner would work on one computer and not another.

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.
