INTRODUCTION Scanner Components Figure 1.
INTRODUCTION The PowerLink Cable Connecting Important: If the PowerLink cable is not fully ‘latched’ the unit can power intermittently. Figure 2. Figure 3. Disconnecting Before removing the cable from the scanner, Metrologic recommends that the power on the host system is off and the power supply has been disconnected from the PowerLink cable. Figure 4. Releasing the PowerLink Cable 1. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the handle of the unit near the cable. 2.
INTRODUCTION Labels Each scanner has a label located on the underside of the head. This label provides the unit’s model number, date of manufacture, serial number, CE and caution information. The following figure gives an example of the label and its location. Figure 5. Label Sample and Location 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/IEC 60950-1.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM RS232 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the scanner. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages. 3. Connect the 9-pin D-type connector of the communication cable to the proper COM port of the host device. 4. Plug the power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM Keyboard Wedge 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 male end of the PowerLink cable into 10-pin socket on the scanner. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages. 3. Disconnect the keyboard from the host device. 4. Connect the “Y” ends of the communication cable to the keyboard and keyboard port on the host device. If necessary use the male/female adapter cable supplied with the scanner for proper connections. 5.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM Stand Alone Keyboard 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket on the scanner. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages. 3. Plug the other end of the communication cable into the host’s keyboard port. 4. Plug the external power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable. Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to verify the voltage matches the AC outlet.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM RS485S 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the MVC cable into the 10-pin socket on the scanner. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages. 3. Connect the other end of the MVC cable to the host device. 4. Turn on the host device. 5. The scanner will start to initialize. All LEDs (yellow, white, and blue) will light for approximately two seconds then start to alternately flash.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM Integrated USB: Full Speed (- 40 or - 106) Low Speed (- 38) 1. Turn off the host device. 2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the USB cable into the 10-pin socket on the scanner. There will be an audible click when the connector lock engages. 3.

SCANNER OPERATION Two Default Modes of Operation* Multi-Trigger, Out of Stand 1. The IR detects an object in the IR activation range and automatically turns on linear illumination. 2. Aim the scanner’s line of light over the bar code. 3. Pull the trigger to initiate scanning. The scanner’s light output will start to flash as it attempts to scan the bar code. If the trigger is released the scanner will stop trying to scan. 4.
SCANNER OPERATION Audible Indicators When the MS1690 series scanner is in operation, the scanner provides audible feedback. These sounds indicate the status of the scanner. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone). To change the tone, refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide, MLPN 00-02544 or MetroSet2’s help files.
SCANNER OPERATION Visual Indicators The MS1690 series scanner has three LED indicators (yellow, white and blue) located on the top of the scanner. When the scanner is on, the flashing or stationary activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner. No LEDs are Illuminated The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. Figure 15. The scanner is in stand-by mode.
SCANNER OPERATION Failure Modes Long Razzberry Tone – During Power Up Failed to initialize or configure the scanner. If the scanner does not respond after reprogramming, return the scanner for repair. Short Razzberry Tone – During Scanning An Invalid bar code has been scanned when in configuration mode.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE The following guide is for reference purposes only. Contact a Metrologic representative at 1-800-ID-Metro or 1-800-436-3876 to preserve the limited warranty terms. All Interfaces MS1690 Series Troubleshooting Guide Symptoms Possible Causes Solution No power is being supplied to the scanner. Check transformer, outlet and power strip. Make sure the cable is plugged into the scanner. No power is being supplied to the scanner from the host.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Causes Solution The unit powers The beeper is up, but does not disabled and no tone beep when bar is selected. code is scanned. Enable the beeper and select a tone. The unit powers up, but does not scan and/or beep. The bar code symbology trying to be scanned is not enabled. UPC/EAN, Code 39, interleaved 2 of 5, Code 93, Code 128, Codabar and PDF are enabled by default. Verify that the type of bar code being read has been selected.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms The unit beeps at some bar codes and NOT for others of the same bar code symbology. The unit scans the bar code but there is no data. Possible Causes Solution The bar code may have been printed incorrectly. Check if it is a check digit/character/ or border problem. The scanner is not configured correctly for this type of bar code. Check if check digits are set properly. The minimum symbol length setting does not work with the bar code.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Causes Solution The unit is transmitting each character twice. The configuration is not set correctly. Increase interscan code delay setting. Adjust whether the F0 break is transmitted. It may be necessary to try this in both settings. Alpha characters show as lower case. The computer is in Caps Lock mode. Enable Caps Lock detect setting of the scanner to detect if the PC is operating in Caps Lock. Everything works except for a couple of characters.

CONFIGURATION MODES The MS1690 series has three modes of configuration. • Bar Codes The MS1690 series can be configured by scanning the bar codes included in the Metrologic Single-Line Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02544). This manual can be downloaded for FREE from Metrologic’s website (www.metrologic.com). • MetroSet2 This user-friendly Windows-based configuration program allows you to simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options.
UPGRADING THE FLASH ROM FIRMWARE The MS1690 Focus series is part of Metrologic's line of scanners with flash upgradeable firmware. The upgrade process requires a new firmware file supplied to the customer by a customer service representative and Metrologic's MetroSet2 software. A personal computer running Windows 95 or greater with an available RS232 serial or USB port is also required to complete the upgrade. PowerLink Cable #54-54014 is required when using RS232 for the upgrade process.
SCANNER AND CABLE TERMINATIONS Scanner Pinout Connections MS1690-14 or MS1691-14, RS232 The MS1690 series scanner interfaces terminate to a 10-pin, RJ45 Female Socket. The serial number label indicates the interface enabled when the scanner is shipped from the factory.
