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. No charging stand is required.

Once charged the unit can read and transmit more than 30,000 readings. In

order to save the battery charge, the unit will enter into standby mode, when left

idle. To “wake” the unit, and begin scanning, simply press the CodeGate button

located on the head of the scanner. When idle mode, the battery is still

supplying the unit and its charge will last for approximately 5 days.

To interface with the host, a Base Station is provided which allows the scanner

to transfer data to Host via various interfaces, including: Wedge, RS232, Light

Pen and OCIA emulation.

Every time the unit is activated, it will try to link with the Base Station for a few

seconds. In the event that there is no response, for example, the Base Station

is turned off or the unit is out of range etc, the scanner will give an error beep

and will keep the unit locked with the Green and Red LEDs “on” until the user

presses the CodeGate button. Once pressed, the unit will work normally once

the problem is solved.

The unit has Green and Red LED indicators to inform the user of the scanner’s

status. Basically, the Green LED is used for scanning issues and the Red LED

is used for radio transmissions.

There is also a beeper which provides an audible indicator for low battery,

errors, successful operations, programming mode and start up diagnostics.

As long as the Voyager RF has got a decoder built-in, it has got its own

programming manual which can be used to program decoding issues as well as

the RF interface (Base Station serial number, Mobil ID, and so on….)

BASE STATION

The Base Station is a interface decoder to which the Voyager is connected via a

virtual RS232 port. Its function is to receive RF data from Voyager RF and

transmit it to the Host.

Therefore, all the standard features that can be used when connecting a RS232

device to a Base Station, as explained in the Base Station Configuration Guide,

can be obtained from the Base Station when working with the Voyager RF.

It is very easy to change a Base Station parameter. Once the Voyager RF is

linked with the base, simply read the ENTER/EXIT barcode from Base Station

Configuration Guide and change the desired parameter. Once finished, read the

ENTER/EXIT bar code again to return it back to Standard Operation mode.

The Base Station can support several output interfaces such as; Wedge,

RS232, Light Pen and OCIA.

When a Wedge connection is desired, a Y-XX cable is required as well as

Power Supply when required*. Please refer to the Base Station Configuration

Guide to choose the configuration number as well as cable required to interface

with HOST

When RS232 Output interface is desired, an M-01 (DB25/DB9) and a power

supply are required.

For Light Pen and OCIA, no special cable is designed. Normally, it is designed

for each specific Host.

Each Base Station has got a unique serial number (Factory defined) and can

work with up to 5 Voyager RF at the same time. Each Voyager must have an

Identifier (ID: 1 to 5) defined as well as the serial number of the base station

which will receive the transmitted data. In case of RF collision, each Voyager

RF will wait its turn based upon its ID before re-trying. This means that Units

with a lower ID will be more aggressive whilst transmitting.

As long as the Voyager RF has got its own decoder and the Base Station also

has its own, then two manuals should be used.

Voyager RF manual is used for Barcode Decoding issues

Base Station Manual is used for interface issues.

User should combine both manual parameters to perform best functionality

which fits the desired application.

* Although not always necessary to utilise a power supply when the Base Station is in wedge

mode, it is good practice to power it with an external power supply to avoid any loss in RF

performance

Version: 1.1 Status: Approved

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. Power up the Host system

RS232 INTERFACE

1. Turn off the Host system

2. Connect the cable RS232(DB25/DB9) to the desired RS232

input port of the Host

3. When Host can’t provide power supply, check that the voltage

matches the AC outlet and then connect

4. Power up the Host system

LIGHT PEN AND OCIA INTERFACES

Technical assistance will be required depending on the HOST interface.

Now follow the matching procedures to link the Voyager RF to the Base Station

LINKING THE VOYAGER RF TO THE BASE STATION

This section explains how to link the Voyager 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.

•Voyager will show its ID number by keeping RED and

GREEN LEDs on while flashing YELLOW on as many times

as the ID value ( 1 to 5 )

•Voyager will try several attempts to link with Base Station.

Every try will make the Red LED flashing.

•If no Link is performed, an error beep will sound. In this

case press Code Gate button to continue. Otherwise, if link

is performed the scanner will operate normally.

•Read Enter/Exit Configuration Mode barcode

•Read the Recall Defaults barcode (MetroSelect Single Line

Voyager Configuration guide) to default Voyager parameters.

•Read the RF Defaults barcode to default RF engine

MS9530 Voyager RF Printed: September 2002

Version: 1.1 Status: Approved

•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. Now a linking should be performed.

At this moment the Voyager RF is linked to Base Station with ID =1.

Two Voyager RF’s with the same ID cannot be linked to the same

Base Station. In this case, follow the “Changing ID procedures” to

change the ID of the appropriate Voyager RF

The user can change any parameter of MetroSelect’s Single Line Configuration

Guide apart from the following:

RS-232, Keyboard, OCIA, Light Pen Parameters, IBM 46xx Configuration,

Custom Defaults, Scanner Operation-Led Options, Scanner Operation-

Host Scanner Commands, Scanner Operation-Test Modes, MS 9500

Voyager-Activation Range, MS 9500 Voyager-CodeGate Status

Failure to observe the above will result in the scanner operating with reduced

functionality.

NOTE ABOUT RF DEFAULTS:

This barcode will default the RF parameters of Scanner:

•RF interface will be fixed

•Serial Number will be fixed to 9999999999

•ID number will be fixed to 1

•Minimum length will be fixed to 1

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 Identifier Number (ID) must be configured to

each Voyager RF. By reading RF Defaults, ID=1 is configured.

There cannot be more than one Voyager RF with the same ID and Serial

Number.

In the case of two Voyager RF’s trying to communicate with the base station at

the same time, the unit with the lower ID will re-try first. That means that the

lower a number ID the VoyagerRF has, the more aggressive it will be.

To change the ID, follow the steps below,

•Read desired Voyager ID:i (i=1,..,5) barcode to load the ID = i into

the Voyager RF

MS9530 Voyager RF

9Printed: September 2002

Version: 1.1 Status: Approved

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. Ie; one YELLOW led flash means ID=1 and 5

YELLOW LED flashes would indicate that that unit’s ID=5
