PowerScan® M8500 Family Description The PowerScan® M8500 series readers can be used with either a BC-80X0 cradle or Stargate™ radio base station to build a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of bar coded data. The M8500 series can be used in the same environment where M8300 series readers are already installed. This manual includes just the commands required for the startup of the scanner and setting of the interface.
Using the PowerScan® PM8500 Family Using the PowerScan® PM8500 Family The PowerScan® PM8500 normally functions by capturing and decoding codes. The PowerScan® PM8500 reader uses an intelligent aiming system. By pulling the trigger, the aiming system indicates a field of view, which should be positioned over the code: Aiming System When you pull the trigger, a red beam illuminates the code. If the aiming system is centered and the entire symbology is within the aiming system, you will get a good read.
Indicators Indicators LED Indicators The PowerScan® PM8500 family uses green LED indicators to signal the following reader functions: STATUS BEHAVIOR Power ON At power-on, the LEDs blink briefly, then light up for 2 seconds to signal the power supply is present. Normal Function The LED lights up after a good decoding and will switch off only at the next trigger press. Beeper The PowerScan® PM8500 basic software provides beeper signals for good/wrong reading and for indicating errors.
Charging the Batteries Charging the Batteries Once the BC-80X0/C-8000 is powered, you can charge the reader's batteries. Place the PowerScan® M8500 into the BC-80X0 cradle or the C-8000 battery charger. The "Reader" LED on the cradle/battery charger turns red. The battery is completely charged when the "Reader" LED on the cradle/battery charger turns green. To change the battery, push the Release Button as indicated by Arrow 1 and extract the battery pack from the reader handle.
Charging the Batteries WARNING Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the scanner. When the battery is used in devices other than the designated product, it may damage the battery or reduce its life expectancy. If the device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury. Lithium-ion battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury if exposed to abusive conditions.
Setup Setup PowerScan® M8500/BC-80X0 Point-to Point Configuration 1. 2. 3. 4. Connect a BC-80X0 cradle to the Host. For installation and connection information see the BC-80X0 Quick Reference Manual. Charge the PowerScan® M8500 battery using an BC-80X0 or the C-8000 charger as described in this Quick Reference manual. A full charge takes 4 hours if using an external power supply; while it takes up to 10 hours if supplying power through the USB port.
PowerScan® M8500 Configuration PowerScan® M8500 Configuration PowerScan® M8500/BC-80X0 Point-to-Point Setup A rapid configuration procedure has been devised for point-to-point applications where a single reader is associated exclusively with its own BC-80X0 base station and where it is not necessary to set the Date and Time parameters.
PowerScan® M8500 Configuration PowerScan® M8500/BC-80X0 Stand Alone Setup When the BC-80X0 cradle is connected and powered, configure the PowerScan® M8500 by reading the following codes in the given sequence and follow the instructions. For the numeric code selection of steps 3, 4, and 5 use the table at the end of this Quick Reference 1. Restore PowerScan® M8500 Default 2. Enter Configuration 3. Set Date + six digits for Day, Month and Year (DDMMYY).
PowerScan® M8500 Configuration 4. Set Time + four digits for Hours and Minutes (HHMM). 5. Set Radio Address + four digits for the PowerScan® M8500 Address (from 0000 to 1999). All readers used in the same area must have different addresses. 6. Exit and Save Configuration 7. Read the Bind code to pair the PowerScan® M8500 to the BC-80X0 cradle. The reader is dedicated to the cradle. Any previously bound reader will be excluded.
PowerScan® M8500 Configuration 8. Firmly position the reader onto the cradle within 10 seconds, a beep will be emitted, signaling that the BC-80X0 cradle has been paired to the PowerScan® M8500, and the green LED on the reader will go off. Green LED 9. Configure the BC-80X0 cradle, refer to the “BC-80X0 Quick Reference”. END of procedure. YOUR READER IS NOW READY TO READ CODES.
PowerScan® M8500 Configuration Using Multiple Readers with Same Cradle If you want to use several readers associated with the same cradle, you must first Bind the cradle with one of the readers (see previously described configuration procedure). Successive readers can be associated with the same cradle by following the configuration procedure substituting the Bind command with Join. 7. Join The green LED on the PowerScan® M8500 will blink: the reader is ready to be positioned onto the cradle.
PowerScan® M8500 Configuration PowerScan® M8500/STAR-SYSTEM™ Setup The following procedure allows configuring a PowerScan® M8500 reader to communicate with various STAR-System™ devices such as Stargate™ RF base stations: 1. Restore PowerScan® M8500 Default 2. Enter Configuration 3. Set Date + six digits for Day, Month and Year (DDMMYY). 4. Set Time + four digits for Hours and Minutes (HHMM).
PowerScan® M8500 Configuration 5. Set the connection according to the length of the codes to be read: Code Length 240 Characters Code Length 240 Characters (not for systems with BC-80X0 as Master) 6. Set Radio Address + four digits from the Numeric Table for the PowerScan® M8500 Address (from 0000 to 1999). All readers used in the same area must have different addresses. 7.
PowerScan® M8500 Configuration 8. Set Last STAR-System™ Address + four digits from the Numeric Table in the range 0000 to 1999 Whenever the system is composed of a single base station, the first and last base station addresses (steps 7 and 8) must have the same value. 9. Exit and Save Configuration END of procedure. YOUR READER IS NOW READY TO READ CODES.
