INSTALLATION OF A SECONDARY SCANNER
1.Turn off the host system.
2.Connect the round end of the PowerLink RS232 AUX cable [MLPN
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.
