Interface Installation  
RS232 
1.  Turn off power to the host device.  
2.  Plug the interface cable’s modular 
connector into the socket on the imager. 
3.  Connect the other end of the cable to a 
dedicated COM port on the host device. 
4.  Plug the 12V power supply
 into the 
power jack on the cable.  
5.  Check the AC input requirements  
of the power supply to verify the voltage 
matches the AC outlet.  The outlet must 
be located near the equipment and 
easily accessible. 
6.  Connect AC power
 to the transformer. 
7.  The MS7580 will start to initialize.  
The white and blue LED will alternately 
fade on and off for three seconds. 
When the imager has finished 
initializing, the imager will flash the white 
LED three times while simultaneously 
beeping three times. The low intensity 
blue LED will remain turned on.  
8.  Turn on power to the host device. 
Installation Notes 
•  MS7580-124-EAS models are equipped with an integrated RF EAS 
antenna. See page 35 for additional cable installation instructions for 
EAS equipped Genesis models. 
•  Plugging the imager into a port on the host system does not guarantee 
that scanned information will be communicated properly to the host 
system. The imager is shipped from the factory configured with default 
settings. Please refer to the MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration 
Guide (PN 00-02544) or MetroSet2’s help files for instructions on 
changing the imager’s configuration. In addition, please check that the 
imager and host system are using the same communication protocol. 
  The MS7580 requires 12V power to function for RS232 operation. Honeywell 
recommends using the external power supply shipped with the MS7580.
