FCC ID: NBFAS-8520-B Cradle

 

Installation The AS-8520 Wireless Imager is easy to install and use. Please see the following figure showing the steps to perform the installation.

* Note: Turn off the host computer before installation. 1. Connect the interface (I/F) cable to the cradle. 2. Connect the power cord to the cradle. 3. Route the I/F cable and power cord through the notch. 4. Connect the I/F cable to the host computer communication port. 5. Connect the AC adapter to the wall outlet. 6. Place the imager in the cradle and verify the charge LED is flashing. Charge the battery for at least 8 hours before the first use. 7. To verify operation, please link the imager with cradle first (Refer to Wireless Connection in page 5). Point the imager at the barcode and pull the trigger. The imager should emit a beep indicating that the barcode has been scanned and transmitted to the cradle successfully. 1 How To Scan 1. The imager must be pointed at slight angle to the barcode so that the light reflected off the barcode can be seen by the imager. Do not hold the imager perpendicular to the barcode. 2. The scan line must cross the entire barcode. The imager can not read the barcode data without seeing the entire barcode. 2 Troubleshooting If the imager can not operate properly, the following checks should be performed:

1. The cradle uses an external power supply and the external power supply has failed, the imager will not operate. Change the power supply with a known good power supply and reset the imager. 2. Verify the interface cable is securely connected to the host computer. Consult your technical support personnel or refer to your host system manual to verify the proper connection for the imager. 3 3. Verify the interface cable is securely connected to the cradle. 4. Check that the barcodes are of sufficient quality to be recognized by the imager. Wrinkled, smudged, or torn labels will cause the imager to not read at all. Scan a known good label to check the imagers read operation. 5. Ensure that the cradles interface type is compatible with the host computer by consulting your host system manual. 4 Wireless Connection Linking the imager with the cradle Follow these instructions to link the two devices:

1. Connect power to the cradle. The radio LED (marked with a light symbol) will blink amber and the cradle will beep. 2. To ensure the cradle is unlinked from any other imager, check if the cradle send inquiry beep or not (see Inquiry Beep Control in page 17). 3. Read the link label on the bottom of the cradle with the imager. The imager will sound a good read beep and the LED will flash amber. 4. Re-place the imager in the cradle to continue the charge. Once an imager is linked to a cradle, they will remain linked until specific action is taken to unlink them (see Unlinking). They will remain linked if the cradle is unplugged, if the battery is removed from the imager or if the entire charge is used up, and if the imager is taken out of range of the cradle. Under normal operation, scanning of the link label will only be required once in the life of the product. 5 Unlinking There are three ways to unlink an imager from a cradle:

1. Scan the Force imager to disconnect and sleep Force imager to disconnect and sleep

barcode Reading the unlink barcode above while the imager is in range of the cradle will break the link between the two devices and allow another imager to link to the cradle. It will also have the imager in Deep Sleep Mode. If the barcode is read when the imager is out of range of its linked cradle, the imager will unlink, but the cradle will remain linked to the imager and will not allow another imager to be linked to it. In this case, you may perform the item 2 below to link another imager. 2. Scan the Link Label and put on the original cradle If the cradle is linked with an imager and the original pair was stopped by out of range of the cradle or out of battery of the imager, scan the link label of the cradle with a new imager and then put on the cradle, the cradle will drop the original pair and establish a new link with the new imager. 3. Scan the Link Label on an alternate cradle Scanning the link label on a cradle will drop the link between the original pair and establish a link between the imager and new cradle. If the new link is performed within range of the old cradle, it is free to establish a link to the next imager that reads its link label. If it is done outside of the range of the old cradle, it retains its old link and will not allow a new imager to link to it until a new imager scan the link label and put on the cradle. 6 Battery Charging The imager contains a 1000mAh Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery. A full charged battery will provide up to 15,000 scans over a 12 hours period. Actual charge life on the imager will depend on the configuration of how the imager is configured via the programmable feature in this manual; in particular, Deep Sleep Mode settings can impact battery life. When the imager is placed in the cradle, the battery will automatically charge. While charging is taking place, the charging LED (marked with a battery symbol) will blink green. When the battery is fully charged, the charging LED will stay on a solid green. If there is an error in charging either with a failure in the charging circuit or with a failure of the battery, the charging LED will flash red. When this happens, the battery needs to be replaced. 7 bottom of the imager. 2. Take off the battery 1. Loosen the screw at the container out of the imager.

Fasten the screw to the 9 Wireless Features The AS-8520 Wireless model includes an imager and a cradle. When the imager and cradle are linked together, the imager will read and decode barcodes and transmit them via a Wireless radio to the cradle. The cradle will then transmit the barcode data to the host computer over the host cable. The host interfaces available from the cradle are RS-232, Keyboard wedge, and USB as a normal corded imager. 10 Auto Update When this feature is enabled, an imager and its linked cradle can automatically ensure they stay in sync with regard to firmware and/or configuration. This is accomplished by the linked imager and cradle comparing firmware version number and configuration file check sum. If either is different, the cradle will automatically update the imager with its firmware/configuration. If the units are linked, any changes made to the cradles configuration through the scan utility software will automatically be sent to the imager at the completion of the programming session. By the same token, any changes made to the linked imagers configuration will be transmitted to the cradle at the end of the programming session. The following options are available for Auto Update:

None-The communication only uses TxD and RxD signals without regard for any hardware or software handshaking protocol. RTS/CTS-If the cradle wants to send the barcode data to host computer, it will issue the RTS signal first, wait for the CTS signal from the host computer, and then perform the normal data communication. If there is no replied CTS signal from the host computer after the timeout (Response Delay) duration, the imager will issue a 5 warning beeps. Xon/Xoff- When the host computer is unable to accept data, it sends a Xoff code to inform the cradle to suspend data transmission, and Xon to continue. ACK/NAK- When the ACK/NAK protocol is used, the cradle waits for an ACK (acknowledge) or (not acknowledge) from the host computer after data transmission, and will resend in response to a NAK. Inter-character delay: It is delay time between data characters data output. It is also same as Inter-char. delay of keyboard wedge. Block transmission delay: It is a delay time between barcode data output. It is also same as Block transmission delay of keyboard wedge. Response delay: This delay is used for serial communication of the cradle to waiting for handshaking acknowledgment from the host computer. 36 Program Option Bar Code Option Alphanumeric Flow control None RTS/CTS Xon/Xoff ACK/NAK RTS/CTS bracket mode 00-99 (msec) Inter-character delay 00-99 (10 msec) Block transmission delay Response delay 00-99 (100 msec) Entry 00 01 02 03 04 00-99 00 00-99 00 00-99 20 Exit 37 Program Option Bar Code Option Alphanumeric Entry Baud rate Parity Data bit Stop bit 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 00 01 02 00 01 00 01 Exit 300 BPS 600 BPS 1200 BPS 2400 BPS 4800 BPS 9600 BPS 19200 BPS 38400 BPS None Odd Even 8 bits 7 bits One bit Two bits 38 39 Pin Assignments 1 2 43 5 67 8910 10-pin AS Series 10-pin RJ-45 Connector Pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 RS-232 Keyboard I/F NC NC CLK / PC DATA / PC DATA / KB NC CLK / KB GND GND I/F NA TXD NC GND CTS RXD RTS GND NC 40 Keyboard Wedge PS/2 Connector (To Host Side):

1) Scan Programming and Insert G1 characters setting barcode. 2) Use the ASCII code table to find the value of A41,B 42. 3) Scan 4, 1 and 4, 2 from the barcode on the fold out back page. 4) Scan Finish from the barcode on the fold out page. 116 5) Repeat the same procedure in Insert G2 characters setting. 6) Scan Exit barcode. 1) Insert data group 1-4 position. Please refer to the specific barcode that you want to use. Insert data group 1-4 position: The imager offers 4 positions to insert among the symbol. The position default value is 00 to indicate no character insertion. Beside, make sure insertion positions are not greater than the symbols; otherwise the insertion data is not effective. 2) 117 Program Option Bar Code Option Alphanumeric Insert G1 characters setting Insert G2 characters setting Insert G3 characters setting Insert G4 characters setting Insert data group 1 position Entry 1-22 characters GROUP1 00-ffH ASCII code 1-22 characters GROUP2 00-ffH ASCII code 1-22 characters GROUP3 00-ffH ASCII code 1-22 characters GROUP4 00-ffH ASCII code 00-64 00 00-64

(Others) Code ID position: Upon your usage, the transmitting position of Code ID can be selected to place Before Code Data or After Code Data when it is transmitted. Code ID transmission: If your application is needed to transmit Code ID, you must set this to Proprietary ID or AIM ID. Code length transmission: A number of data digits can be transmitted before the code data when Enable is selected. The total length of the barcode is the number of barcode data except Truncate Leading/Ending Digits. And the length is a number with two digits. Code name transmission: This function is to show unknown barcode symbologies that include all readable symbologies of the imager. When Enable is selected, Code Name will be transmitted before code data, you will know what kind of barcode symbology is. Case conversion: Setup the scanned data characters to be transmitted all in upper case or lower case. For example: If upper case is selected, 12aBcDeF will be converted and transmitted to host as 12ABCDEF.
