INTRODUCTION The MS5145 Eclipse is a single-line, hand-held laser scanner. Equipped with Metrologic’s patented CodeGate technology, Eclipse can be used in a wide variety of applications. CodeGate technology allows the user to easily target the desired bar code and complete the data transmission with a simple press of a button. This combination makes Eclipse a perfect selection for menu scanning, point-of-sale, document processing and inventory control.

OPERATIONAL TEST 1. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the jack on the Eclipse. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made. 2. Connect the L-shaped plug of the power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable. 3. Connect the power supply into an AC outlet. Make sure the AC input requirements of the power supply match the AC outlet. 4. 5. When the Eclipse is ready to scan, the green LED will turn on, the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM MS5145-00/9/11/14/41 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the jack on the Eclipse. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made. If the scanner is receiving power from the host system, skip to step #5. 3. Connect the L-shaped plug of the power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable. 4. Make sure the AC input requirements of the power supply match the AC outlet.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM Keyboard Wedge MS5145-47 1. Turn off the PC. 2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the jack on the Eclipse. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made. 3. Connect the L-shaped plug of the power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable. If the scanner is receiving power from the host system, skip to step #5. 4. Make sure the AC input requirements of the power supply match the AC outlet. Connect the power supply into an AC outlet.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM Stand Alone Keyboard MS5145-48 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector into the jack on the Eclipse. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made. If the scanner is receiving power from the host system, skip to step #5. 3. Connect the L-shaped plug of the power supply into the power jack on the PowerLink cable. 4. Make sure the AC input requirements of the power supply match the AC outlet.
INSTALLING THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM USB: LOW SPEED HID/POS USB MS5145-38 FULL SPEED USB MS5145-40 1. Turn off the host system. 2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 male connector of the USB cable into the jack on the Eclipse. You will hear a ‘click’ when the connection is made. 3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the host USB port. 4. Turn on the host system.
THE POWERLINK CABLE Disconnecting the PowerLink Cable 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 8. 1. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the top of the unit near the bottom of the Eclipse logo. 2. Bend an ordinary paperclip into the shape shown above. 3. Insert the paperclip (or other small metallic pin) into the small ‘pin-hole’. 4. You will here a faint ‘click’.
SCANNER PARTS Green & Red LEDs The MS5145’s laser pulses on and off when no bar code is presented, and stays on when it senses a bar code. The green LED remains on during normal pulse and scanning operation, and it blinks during power save mode. On a successful read of a bar code, the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. The LEDs are also used as diagnostic indicators and mode indicators.
THE MS5145 ECLIPSE™ SERIES HOW TO USE CODEGATE AND THE MANUAL ACTIVATION MODE CODEGATE® MANUAL ACTIVATION MODE* * This feature is not a default setting. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide for instructions on enabling the Manual Activation Mode. Figure 10a. Figure 10b.
AUDIBLE INDICATORS When the MS5145 scanner is operational, it 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 Configuration Guide. One Beep – on power up The green LED will turn on, then the red LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. The red LED will remain on for the duration of the beep. The scanner is now ready to scan.
VISUAL INDICATORS There is a red LED and a green LED on the MS5145. When the scanner is on, the activity of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner. Green and Red LEDs are off The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. Steady Green Indicates normal pulse or continuous laser operation. Accompanied by a razzberry tone, it indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned.
FAILURE MODES One Razzberry Tone on Power-up This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser or flipper subsystem failure. Return the unit for repair to a Metrologic Authorized Service Center. Continuous Razzberry Tone with all LEDs off If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the scanner has an experienced an electronic failure. Return the unit for repair to a Metrologic Authorized Service Center.
PROGRAMMING MODES The MS5145 Eclipse has 3 modes of programming. Bar Codes Eclipse can be configured by scanning the bar codes located in the MetroSelect® Single-Line Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02544). Please refer to this guide for instructions. This manual can be downloaded for FREE from Metrologic’s website (www.metrologic.com). MetroSet®2 This user-friendly Windows-based configuration program allows you to simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options.
PROGRAMMING MODES 4. During programming, the motor and laser turn off. YOU CANNOT SCAN A BAR CODE WHILE IN SERIAL PROGRAM MODE. 5. There is a 20 second window between commands. If a 20 second timeout occurs, the scanner will send a [nak] and you must start over. 6. To enter serial program mode, send the following command [stx]999999[etx]. 7. To exit serial program mode, send the following command [stx]999999[etx], the scanner will respond with an [ack] followed by 3 beeps. 8.
Programming Modes EXAMPLE #3: The following example shows the events that occur when an invalid bar code is sent. This sample will load the factory default settings and then set the baud rate to 19200.
Upgrading the Flash ROM Firmware The MetroSet2 program is a functional component of Metrologic’s new line of Flash- based scanners. This program allows the user of a Metrologic scanner to quickly upgrade to a new or custom version of software. It requires the use of a personal computer running under Windows 95 or greater and the use of a communication port. The user merely connects the scanner to a communications port of the PC, launches the MetroSet2 program, and blasts off to new software upgrades.

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. Symptoms Possible Causes Solution All Interfaces No power is being supplied to the unit. Check the transformer, the outlet and power strip. Make sure the cable is plugged into the unit. No power is being supplied to the unit from host. Some host systems cannot supply enough current to power Eclipse.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Causes Solution The unit powers up, but does not scan and/or beep. The bar code being scanned does not satisfy the programmed criteria for character length lock or minimum length. The unit scans a bar code, but locks up after the first scan and the red* LED stays on. The unit is configured to support some form of host handshaking but is not receiving the signal.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Symptoms Possible Causes Solution The unit scans but the data is not correct. The unit’s configuration is not correct. Make sure that the proper PC type AT, PS2 or XT is selected. Verify the correct country code and data format is selected. Adjust the inter-character delay symptom. The unit is transmitting each character twice. The unit’s configuration is not correct. Increase the interscan code delay setting. Adjust whether the F0 break is transmitted.
RS232 DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM If an RS232 scanner is not communicating with your IBM compatible PC, key in the following BASIC program to test that the communication port and scanner are working. This program is for demonstration purposes only. It is only intended to prove that cabling is correct, the COM port is working, and the scanner is working. If the bar code data displays on the screen while using this program, it only demonstrates that the hardware interface and scanner are working.
