Chapter 2: Hardware Information The LED 2.3 The LED A single tri-coloured LED is located on the upper-left corner of the NEO, just above the display. Default behaviour of the LED is described in the table below. The LED can also be controlled by application programs, using APIs found in the Psion Teklogix Mobile Devices SDK (see Appendix A: “Resources” for details on where to obtain this SDK). 2.4 LED Behaviour Charge Status Scanner State Solid Green Charge complete.

Chapter 2: Hardware Information Maintaining the NEO IP and Drop-Test Ratings 2.5 Maintaining the NEO IP and Drop-Test Ratings NEO has been designed and tested to meet IP54 and a 4´ drop rating to polished concrete (a total of 26 drops to include all corners, edges and faces). In some environments, it may be beneficial to use the Protective Rubber Boot (PX3062) to extend the product’s durability.

Chapter 2: Hardware Information Mechanical Description of the NEO Case and Anchor Points Figure 2.1 NEO Expansion Port and Mounting/Anchor Point Locations Designers should take care that attached devices: • • • Do not obstruct the scanner beam. Do not interfere with removal and replacement of the battery cover and battery. Allow insertion into the single- or quad-charging stations, if required.
PAGE 22
Chapter 2: Hardware Information NEO Expansion Port 2.7 NEO Expansion Port 2.7.1 NEO Expansion Port Appearance The NEO expansion port is on the back of the unit above the battery compartment, and is normally protected by a press-in rubber cover. The cover should be left in place if the expansion port is not in use. Removing the cover reveals the expansion port, the two lower threaded anchor points, and the lower mounting slot. The expansion port comprises 16 small contact pads, and 2 larger contact pads.
PAGE 23
Chapter 2: Hardware Information NEO Expansion Port Theory of Operation Figure 2.3 Expansion Port Label Removed When designing connectors: • • • 2.7.3 Ensure that current is equally shared between the common pins for ground and battery. Design such that shock or vibration is not likely to force a disconnection of the DETECT pins. Ensure that connector pins are not likely to catch on the edges of the plastic mask during mounting or dismounting.
PAGE 24
Chapter 2: Hardware Information NEO Expansion Port Theory of Operation The TRIGGER input signal is used to activate the built-in data capture scanner. The DETECT input signal is sampled to detect an attached expansion device. An expansion module must pull the DETECT input low to indicate that it is attached. When an expansion device is detected, the PCon (peripheral controller) will allow the output power to be enabled.
PAGE 25
Chapter 2: Hardware Information NEO Expansion Port Theory of Operation This current should be considered as peak and current use at this level should be restricted to 100 ms duration with a repetition rate greater than 5 seconds. The average current drawn through this interface should be 500 mA or less. Reliable connections are necessary to provide power to the expansion module. It is expected that the connector surface will be cleaned before installation and sealed when in use.
