Metrologic Instruments MS7600

INSTALLATION OF A SECONDARY SCANNER

1. Turn off the host system.

2. Connect the round end of the PowerLink RS232 AUX cable [MLPN 54-54667A]

to the RS232 jack of the secondary scanner (see figure 20).

3. Connect the other end of the PowerLink RS232 AUX cable into the 3rd jack

down from the top of the MS7600.

The following Metrologic scanners can be used in the “Aux” input of the

MS7600: the MS9520, MS9540, MS7220, MS7120, MS6720, MS6220,

MS6520, MS5145 or another MS7600.

Important: The MS7600 aux port requires the signals: transmit, receive,

RTS & CTS from the secondary scanner.

4. Connect the MS7600/Host PowerLink* cable to the appropriate interface

jack on the back of the MS7600.

5. Connect the other end of the MS7600/Host PowerLink cable to the host.

6. Connect the external power supplies for the secondary scanner and the

MS7600 to the power jacks on the two PowerLink cables.

Before continuing verify that the PowerLink cables are connected to the

appropriate interface jacks on the scanner. An incorrect cable connection

can cause communication problems or potential damage to the scanner.

7. Insert the attached rubber plug into the remaining jack not being used on the

MS7600.

8. Check the AC input requirements of both power supplies to make sure the

voltage matches the AC outlets.

9. Connect AC power to the transformers. The outlets should be near the

equipment and easily accessible.

10. Configure the MS7600 for the appropriate interface configuration settings*.

* The MS7600/host cable connection is interface dependent. Refer to the

installation steps provided for the type of interface (RS232, IBM 46xx, etc.)

required for your application.

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. 60950-00/UL 60950 and norm EN 60950, the power

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