Product Overview The MS9530 Series Voyager RF is a wireless single line hand-held scanner with one bi-directional RF channel radio which provides about 20-30 meters portability. It has got a battery pack which can be removed from the unit to be charged through a Wall-Power supply in about 110 min.
BASE STATION The Base Station is a interface decoder to which the Voyager is connected via a virtual RS232 port. Its func tion is to receive RF data from Voyager RF and transmit it to the Host.
UNPACKING LIST The kit is packed accordi ng to its functionality: Transmitter: • Voyager RF: Reader + Battery Pack • Wall-Power Supply for Battery Pack charging • Voyager RF Configuration Manual • Voyager RF installation and User guide Base Station: • Base Station • Base Station Manual • For Wedge interface: 1.
CONNECTING THE BASE STATION TO THE HOST WEDGE INTERFACE 1. Turn off the Host system 2. Connect the cable Y-XX between the keyboard and Host 3. When Power supply required (it is recommended all the times for better RF transmissions), check that the voltage matches the AC outlet and then connect 4.
LINKING THE VOYAGER RF TO THE BASE STATION This section explains how to link the Vo yager RF to the Base Station. It is supposed that the software is already loaded into the unit and that the Base Station is configured with its own serial number. • Power ON the Base Station • Insert Battery Pack and press CodeGate button to power ON the unit.
• Read Fix Serial RF Number barcode to load Base Station's serial number into the Voyager. • Read Base Station Serial Number barcode. (located on the Base Station). • Read Enter/Exit Configuration Mode barcode. • After reading this barcode the Voyager will try to link the Base Station.
FIXING VOYAGER RF ID NUMBERS This section explains how to fix an Identifier number to each Voyager RF. Basically, each Base Station can work with up to 5 VoyagerRF’s at the same time. To enable this facility, an Identif ier Number (ID) mu st be configured to each Voyager RF.
The system is ready to work. Please note again, that each time a Voyager RF is activated, it indicates its ID number just before linking with Base Station with steady RED and GREEN LED’s whilst the YELLOW LED flashes an appropriate number of times in relation to its ID number.
BASE STATION TESTING BARCODE The Base Station will accept all data fr om Voyager RF where the Base Serial Number is “0000000000”. Use this Test Barcode as Base Serial Number when programming the Voyager RF Serial Number to fix t he Voyager RF in test Mode.
BATTERY PACK In order to charge the Batte ry Pack, there is no need to use a cradle. It can be re-charged when disconnected from the sca nner with the Voyager RF 5V, 1.5A Wall Power Supply. The Battery Pack can’t be recharged while inserted into the Voyager.
Standby mode will discharge the battery pac k in around 5 days. The number of readings will naturally decreas e as the standby time incr eases. To avoid having low battery messages appearing, it is recommended that the battery pack is disconnected from the sc anner when not in use over an extended period of time.
VISUAL INDICATORS The scanner has RED and GREEN LED’s. When the scanner is on, these visual indicators show the st ate of the scanner functionality. Start Up Sequence From Stand-by, once the user presses Co deGate button, the scanner goes into start-up mode.
Low Battery Message When the battery starts to loose its c harge, the scanner detects it and makes a Razzberry sound every time a new r eading is performed. The YELLOW, RED and GREEN LED’s will also flash alternatively. However, the Voyager RF will continue to operate.
PROGRAMING MODES Voyager RF can be programmed vi a Barcodes. Use Metrologic’s MetroSelect Single Line Configuration Guide to configure the unit. This configuration guide is common to all Voyagers.
MetroSet It is possible to download/upload se ttings from MetroSet 2 (PC based software) to each Voyager RF by radio. In order to do that, read t he MetroSet RF barcode with the Voyager RF that you want to work with and follow MetroSet RF instructions.
SOFTWARE VERSION It is possible to find out the software of Voyager RF as well as the Base Station to which the unit is linked with. Scanning the following barcode, the Base Station will transmit the actual software revision with the following format: MI9530 BASE STATION: #50200, MA RCH 2002.
EML EML Handshake is a defined data formatting handshake that allows the Voyager RF to send and receive data from the Host System through the Base Station.
