INTRODUCTION Metrologic's IS8000 series scanners bring the benefits of holography to longrange industrial bar code scanning. Enclosed in rugged NEMA-12 cases for industrial environments, the IS8000 series provides omnidirectional scanning with optional no code/wrong code warning. They can be mounted in any orientation and are capable of primary/secondary setup for added versatility. There are several IS8000 models to choose from depending on the scanning application.
SCANNER AND ACCESSORIES The following is a list of parts included in a standard IS8000 kit: ¾ IS8000 Series HoloTrak® Holographic Scanner ¾ Power Supply ¾ ¾ [MLPN 46-46207-US] 12VDC @ 4.16 Amps, 220VAC or ¾ [MLPN 46-46207-UK] 12VDC @ 4.16 Amps, 240VAC or ¾ [MLPN 46-46207-EC] 12VDC @ 4.16 Amps, 120VAC Communication Cable ¾ ¾ [MLPN 52-52702] Standard 2 meter (6 ft.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST (STANDARD FEATURES) Single HoloTrak® Installation To avoid potential problems, do not power up the scanner until the communication cable is secured to the host. 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Connect the communications ® cable to the HoloTrak and to the host. 3. Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet. 4. Plug the power supply to the scanner. 5.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST (STANDARD FEATURES) Primary/Secondary setup continued from previous page. All equipment must be connected before power-up. After both units complete the power-up diagnostics, the operator will need to program the primary unit with the MetroSet Program provided. Additional Equipment needed: Primary/Secondary Cable [MLPN 52-52707] To avoid potential problems, do not power up the scanner until the communication cable is secured to the host. 1. Turn off the host system.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST (OPTIONAL FEATURES) Industrial Controller MX001 Interface Option The MX001 Industrial Control Interface performs three functions. ¾ Through an object sensor input, the scanner can be alerted to any package present in the scan field. The sensor must have a 12V or 5V at 10mA output signal or switch closure (relay) output. The MX001 can also supply 12VDC power at 200mA (max) to the sensor.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST (OPTIONAL FEATURES) External Speaker Box Option When attached, beeper tones from the scanner are emitted from both the scanner speaker and external speaker to serve as an audible indication of the operation of the scanner. There are 6 beeper options available: ¾ Normal Tone ¾ Tone 2 ¾ Tone 1 ¾ Tone 3 ¾ Tone 4 ¾ No Tone ® Beeper tones can be adjusted by using the MetroSet program.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST (OPTIONAL FEATURES) Hand-held Port Option A Non-Decode Hand-Held Scanner can be connected to an IS8000 series fixed scanner. To avoid potential problems, do not power up the scanner until the communication cable is secured to the host. 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Connect the communications cable ® to the HoloTrak and to the host. 3. Connect the communication cable of the hand-held scanner to the HoloTrak. 4.
CONFIGURATION TO THE HOST SYSTEM The scanner is shipped from the factory configured to a set of default conditions noted in the Default Settings section of this guide. In order for the scanner to communicate with the host system, it will need to be properly configured. Since each host system is unique, the scanner must be configured to match the host system requirements. Use the MetroSet®2 Scanner Configuration Program provided to configure the scanner.
INSTALLING AND RUNNING THE METROSET®2 PROGRAM How to Start To avoid potential problems, do not power up the scanner until the communication cable is secured to the host. 1. Turn off the PC after installing the MetroSet 2 program. 2. Connect the communication cable to the scanner and to the RS-232C serial port (COM1 or COM2) located on the PC. 3. Check the AC input requirements of the transformer to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet.
PARTS OF THE SCANNER c Green and Red LEDs The red LED is on when the unit is done power up, the VLD is emitting light and the unit is ready to scan. The green LED flashes when the scanner has read a bar code successfully. The functions of the LED's can be reversed through special configuration with the MetroSet®2 configuration program. See the Visual and Audible Indicators section of this guide for more details. d Speaker The speaker is configured to emit a beep when a bar code has been transmitted.
MOUNTING BRACKET INSTALLATION 1. Locate the mounting bolts on the sides of the scanner. 2. Align the bolts on the scanner with the channels on the mounting bracket. 3. Slide the unit into place until the scanner bolts sit securely in the bottom of the channels. 4. Rotate the unit to the desired angle and secure into place with a locking bolt in the lower slot. 5. Tighten both bolts to secure the scanner in place.
VISUAL AND AUDIBLE INDICATORS When the scanner is on, the activity of the red and green LEDs indicate the status of the scanner. Flashing Red, No Green During power-up and diagnostic mode. Steady Red, No Green Unit has completed power-up, the VLD is emitting light, and the unit is ready to scan. Steady Red, Green Flash When the scanner transmits a successful read, the green LED will flash. Generally, if the green LED does not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

MAINTENANCE Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. Therefore, the output window will need occasional cleaning. 1. Spray optical quality cleaning fluid onto lint free, nonabrasive cleaning cloth. 2. Gently wipe the output window. Do not use solvents like alchohol or acetone. These materials can damage the window.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PROBLEM No LEDs POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) ACTION NEEDED No Power Check the power supply and outlet. No Scan Pattern No Power Alternating Red and Green LEDs flash with a razz tone. Motor Failure Contact a Metrologic service representative. The communication cable is not connected to the COM port. Check the communication cable connection at the host and scanner. The communication cable is damaged. Replace the communication cable. Scanner configuration settings have been lost.

APPENDIX B Default Settings Many functions of the scanner can be configured, or enabled/disabled. The factory programs the scanner to a set of default parameters. These defaults are marked with an asterisk (*) in the default column on the following pages. Unmarked parameters show the unavailability for that protocol. To speak with the host system properly, the scanner must be configured to match the systems individual requirements. Not all functions support all communication protocols.
