This chapter explains the Cordless System and its components. It also describes how

to charge the batteries and get the system installed and running.

About the Cordless System

The Cordless System consists of the MicroBar 9745 Cordless Base Station and at least

one Sabre 1552 Cordless Scanner. Up to nine scanners may be associated with one base.

Each scanner has a removable, rechargeable battery pack and provides real time

decoding within a 15.24 meter (50 foot)1 radius of the base.

The Cordless System is an economical, durable solution for a wide variety of portable

data collection applications. The system features

• a tough, ergonomic thermoplastic housing for comfort and durability.

• recognition and decoding of the most popular, industry-standard bar code

symbologies.

• scanner coverage of up to 730 square meters (7854 square feet) in open air

environments.

• a wide range of interfaces that are compatible with many POS, keyboard wedge,

and RS-232 terminals.

• visible and audible feedback for confirmation of a successful decode.

• a choice of rechargeable batteries designed to operate through a whole work day.

The Cordless System can be programmed for many communications parameters and

input/output protocols compatible to the host, as well as advanced data editing and

formatting. Programming is accomplished by using the single programming bar codes in

this manual (Chapters 2 through 5).

1 A 15.24 meter (50 foot) radius is obtained under optimal, “open air” conditions. Signals between the base and its

scanners need a clear path to communicate, free from RF interference.

Battery Pack

Power is supplied to the scanner by a rechargeable

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack that snaps

onto the bottom of the scanner.

North American Charging Information

The battery packs are designed to plug into any two

prong North American AC power outlet (110/120 Volt)

for direct charging. You need no additional equipment

and you can recharge the packs virtually anywhere. If

you want surge protection, a charge strip can provide extra protection.

Worldwide Charging Information

The NiMH battery pack is rated for both 110/120 Volt 60 Hz applications and for

230/240 Volt 50 Hz applications; therefore, it may be recharged worldwide. For

international charging and to accommodate the wide variety of electrical outlets, a

custom charge strip is required to charge the batteries. The charge strip is offered for

two or six battery pack configurations.

Contact your local Intermec representative for more information on charge strips.

Battery Pack Recommendations

• Charge the battery for 24 hours the first two or more times to fully charge the

battery.

• Charge the battery pack immediately before use or at least within a couple of days

of use.

• Remove the battery pack from the power outlet after charging is completed. Avoid

extended overcharging; do not leave the battery charging for more than 2 days.

• Periodically fully discharge the battery pack.

• Avoid using the battery pack in extreme temperatures.

• Do not disassemble the battery pack. There are no user-serviceable parts in the

battery pack.

Sabre 1552 Scanner and MicroBar 9745 Base Station System Manual

1-6

Proper Disposal of the Battery Pack

When the battery pack has reached the end of its useful life, the batteries should be

disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler. Do not incinerate the

battery pack or dispose of the battery pack with general waste materials. Contact

technical support for recycling or disposal information.

Charging the Battery Pack

1. Fully charge the battery pack. If you

are in North America, plug the battery

pack directly into any common 120

Volt AC outlet.

If you are outside North America, use

a custom charge strip. Plug the battery

packs into the charge strip and plug the

charge strip into an outlet.

2. Note that the LED on the bottom of the

battery pack lights red when the

battery pack is charging; it shows

green when it is fully charged and

ready to use.

It is important that you charge the

battery for 24 hours prior to first use.

No damage occurs if this is not done, but the battery capacity will not be at 100%.

3. After the battery pack is fully charged, attach it to the scanner by pressing the pack

firmly (align the prongs on the pack with the mating receptacles) in the base of the

scanner until the release buttons click, holding the pack firmly in place. (When you

attach a charged battery pack to the scanner, you will hear a single beep.)

When the battery pack needs recharging, the yellow LED on top of the scanner pulses in

short, continuous blinks and the scanner won’t beep when you pull the trigger. If the

LED stops flashing when the temperature lowers or you do not use the battery pack for

some time, you still need to charge the battery pack.

Accessories for the Cordless System

Contact your local Intermec representative for more information or to order accessories.

Battery Packs

The permanently sealed battery packs contain four rechargeable “AA” cells, plus

circuitry to allow recharging via standard AC power outlets (eliminating cumbersome

and expensive custom charging stations). Each scanner is shipped with one NiMH

battery pack. Order backup batteries or replacement batteries separately.

Belt Holster

The belt holster holds the scanner when not in use. The belt holster consists of a foam

covered wire frame clasped to an adjustable nylon web belt designed to be worn around

the waist.

Charge Strips

To charge more than one battery pack at one time, charge strips are available. The

charge strips are offered in two or six outlet configurations and may be conveniently

wall mounted or set on flat surfaces. The charge strip uses a standard PC (IEC 320)

grounded power cord between the charge strip and the electrical AC outlet.

Note: The power cords must be ordered separately. For more information, contact your

local Intermec representative.

Head Cover

The head cover features a “D” ring to attach to a tool balancer to suspend the scanner

rather than putting it down.

Visual Menu™

Visual Menu is a software configuration tool that provides the ability to configure the

Cordless System by connecting the base to the COM port of a PC. Visual Menu allows

you to download firmware upgrades, change programmed parameters, and create and

print programming bar codes.

Wall Mount Kit (Standard or Industrial)

The standard wall mount holder stores the scanner on a vertical surface for convenient

access. The scanner easily slides between two rubberized fingers that hold the scanner

when it is not in use.

Similar to the standard wall mount holder, the rubberized fingers on the industrial wall

mount holder are smaller to maintain a firm grasp on the scanner under jolting and

jarring conditions, such as those expected in fork lift applications.

Setting Up the Cordless System

Important: Before you set up the Cordless System, make sure the scanner’s battery

pack has been fully charged. See “Charging the Battery Pack” earlier in this chapter for

charging instructions.

To set up the Cordless System

1. Turn off the power to the host system.

2. Connect the interface cable to the base and to the terminal/computer.

Depending on your application, the interface cable you need may be different than

the one shown below. Also, the cable, keyboard, and terminal/computer may vary.

Keyboard Wedge Interface Example

Note: For optimal coverage, place the base and its antenna as far away from other

sources of RF interference, with a clear transmitting path to the scanner(s).

Applications may run faster in RS-232 due to data rate restriction on some wedges.

Extension cables from the base to the host may be added to either wedge

applications (up to 15 feet) or RS-232 applications (up to 50 feet).

The base can be mounted on a wall or a ceiling. Try to place the base so that the

antenna is in a vertical (straight up and down) position whenever possible. An extra

Association Bar Code is provided in case the base is mounted where the label might

be difficult to scan.

In an RS-232 configuration, connect your interface cable between the base (1) and

the host system (2). You also need to use an external power supply (3). Contact

your Intermec sales representative for more information on ordering power supplies

or RS-232 cables, including “Y” extension and mouse power pickup cables to

mount the base for best RF coverage. Cable, keyboard, and terminal may vary.

RS-232 Interface Example

3. Turn on the power to the host system. Verify that the base is on; the green LED is

blinking. (The base does not have a beeper.)

4. Using the scanner, scan the Association Bar Code (the bar code label on the top of

the base) to link that scanner to the base. Two quick beeps followed by clicking and

a single beep indicates a “good” association. The scanner is now in communication

with the base.

Note: After association, if the battery pack is removed from the scanner and

replaced, the scanner automatically reassociates to the base if the base has remained

powered up. In this case, the scanner beeps when a charged battery pack is installed

and beeps a second time after full association, about 5 to 10 seconds later.

5. Program your Cordless System to work with your terminal or computer by scanning

the Terminal Setup Codes. Use the “Terminal Interface Selections” in Chapter 2 to

scan your Terminal ID.

With Plug and Play programming, you scan only one bar code to program the

Cordless System to work with a designated interface, including any required

prefixes and suffixes.

6. To determine if your Cordless System is set up correctly, scan one of the sample bar

codes in Appendix A, “Programming Chart and Sample Bar Codes.”

Getting Started

1-11

Connecting More Scanners to the Cordless System

Up to nine scanners may be associated with one base2.

To connect more scanners to the Cordless System

1. Make sure the scanner’s battery pack has been fully charged.

2. Scan the Association Bar Code (the bar code label on the top of the base) to link

each scanner to the base.

The base stores a unique ID for each scanner (up to nine) to identify the scanner during

data communication. Two beeps followed by clicking and a single beep from the

scanner indicates a “good” association. The base will reject a tenth scanner trying to

link to its network and it will send the scanner an error command. (A rejected scanner

beeps three times, indicating an unsuccessful association.)

Note: When you associate more scanners with the base, you don’t have to program your

Cordless System to communicate with your terminal or computer if you’ve already

completed Step 5 in “Setting Up the Cordless System” earlier in this chapter.

About the LED Sequences and Beeper

The base has a green LED that indicates its status and verifies it is communicating with

the host system. The scanner has a beeper and two LEDs on the top of it (green and

yellow) that indicate its power up, communication, and battery pack status. The tables

below list the indication and meaning of the beeps and LEDs for the base and scanner.

Basic Operation of the Cordless System

This section explains the basic operating components of the Cordless System.

Base

The base provides the link between the scanner and the host system. The base contains a

control/interface assembly and an RF communication module. The RF communication

module performs the data exchange between the scanner and the control/interface

assembly. The control assembly coordinates the central interface activities including

transmitting/receiving commands and data to/from the host system, performing software

activities (parameter menuing, visual indicator support, power-on diagnostics), and data

translation required for the host system.

RF (Radio Frequency) Module Operation

The Cordless System uses a state of the art radio to transmit and receive data between

the scanner and the base. Designed for point-to-point and multipoint to single point

applications, the radio transmits data at a rate of 1 megabit per second (Mbps) in a half

duplex (2 way) communications mode. The radio operates using a license free, low

power, 2.4 GHz spread spectrum (frequency hopping) technique. This transmission

technique, which sends relatively small data packets at a fast data rate over a radio

signal with randomly changing frequencies, makes the Cordless System highly

responsive to a wide variety of data collection applications and resistant to noisy RF

environments.

The RF radio used in the Cordless System has been tested and approved as complying

with the two leading standards-setting organizations that serve as regulatory models for

compliance in most countries. In North America, the radio is approved under the

standards in FCC B Part 15.249 regulations and, in Europe, under the standards in ETS

300 328 regulations.

Scanner

The scanner enables bar code scanning by using scan engines, real time decoding, and

host connectivity within a 15.24 meter (50 foot)3 radius of the base. It provides the

initial bar code data acquisition function and communicates to the base. The scanner

comprises a scan engine, a decode/control assembly, and an RF communication module.

The scan engine performs the bar code image illumination and detection. The

decode/control assembly coordinates the central communication activities including

capturing and decoding the bar code image data, performing software activities

(parameter menuing, visual indicator support, low battery indication), and data

translation required for the host system. The RF communication module performs the

data exchange between the scanner and the base.

3 A 50 foot (minimum) radius is maintained in most environments. For optimal performance, signals between the base and

its scanners need a clear path to communicate, free from RF interference.

System Conditions

The components of the Cordless System interact in specific ways as you associate one

or more scanners to a base, as you move a scanner out of range, bring a scanner back in

range, replace a scanner battery pack, or swap scanners between two Cordless Systems.

This information explains the Cordless System operating conditions.

Association Process

After you scan the Association Bar Code, the base synchronizes radio parameters and

the work group parameter table in the scanner. The work group table is uploaded during

the clicking sequence. Two beeps, clicking, then a single beep indicates the process is

complete. The base blinks while it is sending the table to the scanner. Until the table is

uploaded, scanning and data transmission are interrupted. If the base is off or not

working properly, the scanner emits an error (triple) beep after trying for 30 seconds to

associate to the base.

The work group table is also uploaded any time the base believes a previously

associated scanner wishes to join the network. A scanner always tries to join the last

base it was associated to, even if the scanner has been without power for several days.

The base allows a scanner to associate as long as there are fewer than nine scanners

actively associated to the base.

Sabre 1552 Scanner and MicroBar 9745 Base Station System Manual

1-16

Scanner is Out of Range

The scanner is always in communication with its base, even when it is not transmitting

bar code data. Whenever the scanner can’t communicate with the base for a 3-second

interval, it is out of range. If the trigger is pulled while the scanner is out of range, the

green and yellow LEDs illuminate. When you scan a bar code, the scanner issues three

beeps and does not try to send data to the base.

Note: While the scanner is out of range, it consumes more power searching for the base

continuously. To conserve battery power, store the scanner with the battery pack

removed, or program it for Battery Conservation mode.

Scanner is Moved Back Into Range

The scanner will silently rejoin (no beep after connecting and synchronizing with the

base) if the scanner has not been reset (battery pack disconnected and reconnected), no

menu codes have been scanned by other scanners in the work group, or the base has not

been reset. Any one of these three conditions can cause the scanner to go through a

reassociation process when it is moved back in range. Reassociation is the process of

uploading the work group parameter table from the base.

Reassociation is done automatically, without having to scan an association label. During

reassociation, the scanner clicks, then beeps once. You will hear a single beep when the

reassociation process is complete.

If you believe you are in range and are still hearing a triple (error) beep, you may have

been removed from the base’s network. Try scanning the Association Bar Code or reset

scanner by removing and reinserting the battery pack.

Replacing Battery Pack While Associated

When you insert the battery pack, the scanner beeps and then clicks. During this period,

the work group parameter table is uploaded to the scanner from the base. Scanning and

data transmission are interrupted. When the scanner emits a second beep, you may scan

again. If you don’t receive a second beep, the table was not transferred successfully

either because the scanner was out of range or all of the data was not received. Scan the

Association Bar Code again.

Moving Scanners From One Base to Another

You can transfer a scanner between base networks by scanning a new Association Bar

Code. Scanners can only be associated to one base at a time. Once a scanner is

associated to a base, it tries to stay associated to that base until you use it to scan a new

Association Bar Code. The new base adds a scanner to its association list as long as

fewer than nine scanners are in its network. If a base has nine scanners in its network,

you need to disassociate one scanner before adding another.

Getting Started

1-17

Each base keeps an association list of up to nine scanners. This list contains the

associated scanners’ radio serial numbers and dynamic addresses. New dynamic

addresses are assigned to the scanners each time a base Reset occurs. This helps the

Cordless System track the status of the different scanners in its network during the

association and reassociation process.

Swapping Scanners Between Two Systems with Nine Scanners on Each

You may use the Remove Scanner Selection to disassociate any scanner and then add a

new scanner by scanning the Association Bar Code with the new scanner. If you cannot

scan the disassociation label because the scanner you are trying to disassociate was

damaged, remove power from that scanner and it automatically disassociates in

approximately 3 seconds.

Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host

The scanner provides immediate feedback in the form of a “good read” indication (a

green LED on the scanner and an audible beep) after a bar code is scanned correctly and

the base has acknowledged receiving the data. The Cordless System also provides two-

way communication between the scanner and the base or host system.

When data is scanned, the data is sent to the host system via the base. Confirmation

from the host system or the base indicates that the data sent was received by the host.

The scanner recognizes two forms of host confirmation: data acknowledgement (ACK)

from the base or an ACK from the host system. If it can’t be determined that the data

has been properly sent to the host system, the scanner issues four beeps (low, high, low,

high tones). You must check to see if the scanned data was received by the host system.

Acknowledgement From the Base

If the Cordless System is configured for a keyboard wedge host interface, a signal

(ACK) is sent from the base confirming that the data was received and is being sent on

to the host system. (Since keyboard wedge interfaces cannot provide bi-directional

communications, they do not permit host confirmation.)

Acknowledgement From the Host System

Host system confirmation may be implemented with a bi-directional interface like Host

RS-232. In this configuration, when the base receives the scanned data from the scanner

and forwards it to the host, the Cordless System waits for a signal from the host that it

received the data. (For information on enabling this feature and using Host Escape

commands, see “Host Ack Selection” in Chapter 3).

This chapter explains how to program the Cordless System to work with your terminal

or computer (host system).

Introduction

All operating parameters are stored in non-volatile memory resident in the Cordless

System, where they are permanently retained in the event of a power interruption. When

you receive your Cordless System, certain operating parameters have already been set.

These are the factory defaults, indicated by the symbol “*” on the programming pages

(beneath the default programming bar code). Default charts that list all the factory

default settings may be found in Chapter 8, “Specifications and Factory Defaults.”

Appendix A, “Programming Chart and Sample Bar Codes,” has a programming chart

that contains alphanumeric bar codes for setting additional programming options, such

as the digits representing Symbology Message Length. The programming chart explains

how and when to use the alphanumeric bar codes.

Note: After scanning these menu selections, you will notice a pause (up to 20 seconds)

while the base processes and uploads the new menu information to its parameter tables:

• Plug and Play Selections (on the next two pages)

• Factory Default Settings: ALL Application Groups (Chapter 2)

• Application Work Group Selections (Chapter 4)

Appendix A also has a sample bar codes page that provides bar code symbols you may

scan to verify that your Cordless System has been programmed correctly and is

communicating with your host system.

Base Low Power Mode

You may want the base to draw less power when it is being powered by a portable data

terminal or laptop. Use Base Low Power mode to tell the base to draw less power.

*Off

Note: Using Base Low Power mode slows decode time.

Battery Conservation Mode

In order to preserve scanner battery power, you can set the scanner to “go to sleep” after

the scanner or its base has been idle for a certain length of time. A scanner “checks in”

with its base on a periodic basis. If the base has been turned off, you can set the scanner

to turn itself off as well (sleep mode). If you prefer, you can set the scanner to turn itself

off regardless of the base’s state (nap or doze mode). Once a scanner is off, or asleep, a

single trigger pull wakes it up and begins the reassociation process. A second trigger

pull is required to scan a code.

Don’t Check for Network Base Before Timeout If you want the scanner to turn off after

a period of inactivity, regardless of the state of the base, scan this bar code (nap mode),

then scan the desired timeout selection. When the scanner has been idle for the timeout

length, it turns itself off. If the scanner has shown no activity for 1 hour, it will

automatically shut off by default.

Check for Network Before Timeout If you want the scanner to turn off when the base is

powered down, scan this bar code (sleep mode), then scan the desired timeout selection.

If the scanner gets no response from the base after the timeout length, the scanner turns

off.

Host ACK Selection

This selection programs the Cordless System to wait for a confirmation signal (ACK)

from the host after bar code data has been sent. When Host ACK is turned on, the host

system must be programmed to generate Escape Commands (see section below) for user

feedback. See “Communication Between the Cordless System and the Host” in Chapter

1 for an explanation of how Host ACK works.

Host ACK mode is designed to respond to a specific application work group (see

Chapter 4, “Application Work Groups Menu”); the host system issues an Escape

sequence to all scanners in the application work group. Up to 20 Escape commands may

be strung together to create custom beep/blink sequences.

An example of an Escape string to create a “low, medium, high” beep sequence for

scanners in Application Work Group 2 would be: “2esc4esc5esc6,”. The first character

indicates the application work group and specifies that the comma is used as the

delimiter. If it can’t be determined that the data has been properly sent to the host

system, the scanner issues four beeps (low, high, low, high tones). You must then check

to see if the scanned data was received by the host system.

Note: Host ACK mode will only work with a host system that supports RTS/CTS flow

control. If your host system does not support RTS/CTS handshaking, turning on Host

ACK will cause some or all of your data to be lost.

*Off

Escape Commands

The Cordless System will respond to beep and blink commands from the host system.

The format for these commands is: y Esc x , where “y” is the Application Work Group

number and “x” is one of the Escape commands listed below. A comma must be used to

terminate the command. The following table lists the Escape commands that must be

generated from the host system and the resulting action(s).

Note: Scanning High Volume changes the beeper tone. If the factory default tone is

desired, scan the Factory Default Settings bar code.

Beeper Pitch

You may wish to set your beeper to a higher or lower pitch. This feature is helpful if

there are several scanners being used in close proximity. Different pitches make it easier

to distinguish which scanner is beeping.

Code ID Prefix

This selection allows you to turn on or off the transmission of a Code ID before the

decoded symbology. (See the Symbology Chart below for the single character code that

identifies each symbology.) When you scan the On code, all current prefixes are

cleared, then a Code ID for all symbologies is programmed.

Prefix/Suffix Selections

When a bar code is scanned, additional information is sent to the host computer along

with the bar code data. This group of bar code data and additional, user-defined data is

called a “message string.” The selections in this section are used to build the user-

defined data into the message string.

Prefix and suffix characters are data characters that can be sent before and after scanned

data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific

symbologies.

Points to Keep in Mind

• It is not necessary to build a message string. The selections in this chapter are only

used if you wish to alter the default settings.

Default prefix = None. Default suffix = Carriage Return.

• A prefix or suffix may be added or cleared from one symbology or all symbologies.

• You can add any prefix or suffix from the Hex to ASCII Conversion Chart later in

this chapter, plus Code ID and AIM ID.

• You can string together several entries for several symbologies at one time.

• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the

output.

To add a prefix or suffix

1. Scan the Add Prefix or Add Suffix bar code.

Add Prefix

Add Suffix

2. Determine the two-digit hex value from the Symbology Chart later in this chapter

for the symbology to which you want to apply the prefix or suffix.

3. Scan the two hex digits from the “Programming Chart” in Appendix A or scan 9, 9

for all symbologies.

4. Determine the hex value from the Hex to ASCII Conversion Chart later in this

chapter for the prefix or suffix you wish to enter.

5. Scan the two-digit hex value from the Programming Chart.

Note: Repeat Steps 4 and 5 for every prefix or suffix character.

6. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

7. Repeat Steps 1-6 to add a prefix or suffix for another symbology.

To clear one or all prefixes or suffixes

You can clear a single prefix or suffix, or clear all prefixes/suffixes for a symbology.

When you Clear One Prefix (Suffix), the specific character you select is deleted from

the symbology you want. When you Clear All Prefixes (Suffixes), all the prefixes or

suffixes for a symbology are deleted.

1. Scan the Clear One Prefix or Clear One Suffix symbol.

Clear One Prefix

Clear One Suffix

2. Determine the two-digit hex value from the Symbology Chart later in this chapter

for the symbology from which you want to clear the prefix or suffix.

3. Scan the two-digit hex value from the “Programming Chart” in Appendix A or scan

9, 9 for all symbologies.

4. Scan Save to exit and save, or scan Discard to exit without saving.

Prefix and Suffix Examples

Here are four examples.

Example 1: Add Suffix for Specific Symbology

To send a CR (carriage return) suffix for UPC only

1. Scan Add Suffix.

2. The hex value of UPC is “63.” Scan 6 and 3.

3. A “CR” is equivalent to “0D.” Scan 0 and D.

4. Scan Save.
