Installation
Installation Notes
Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the PC does not guarantee
that scanned information will appear at the PC. A software driver and
correct configuration settings are also required for proper
communications to occur.
Powering the MS5145 directly from the host device can sometimes
cause interference with the operation of the scanner or the computer.
Not all computers supply the same current. For this reason, using an
external power supply is recommended. For additional information,
contact a customer service representative.
All MS5145-00 scanners leave the factory with the Laser Emulation
Mode enabled. If recall defaults is scanned while re-configuring the
scanner the Laser Emulation Mode will no longer be enabled. Refer to
the MS5145-00 Laser Emulation Mode section of the MetroSelect
Single-Line Configuration Guide for information on enabling the Laser
Emulation Mode.

Scanner Operation
Modes of Operation
CodeGate®, Out-of-Stand
CodeGate activates when removed from the stand
Bar code data is transmitted when the button is pressed
12
Audible Indicators
When the MS5145 scanner is operational, the scanner provides audible
feedback to indicate the status of the scanner and the last scan. Eight settings
are available for the tone of the beep (normal, six alternate tones and no tone).
For instructions on how to change the tone of the beeper, refer to the Single-Line
MetroSelect Configuration Guide.
When configured for communication timeout, three beeps during operation will
indicate that a communication timeout has occurred.
Razzberry Tone
This is a failure indicator or an invalid code read during configuration mode.
Refer to the Failure Modes section of this guide on page 15.
13
Visual Indicators
The MS5145 is equipped with a red LED and green LED, which indicate the
scanner’s state and the status of the current scan when the unit is in operation.
Steady Green
Indicates normal pulse or continuous laser operation. Accompanied by a
razzberry tone, it indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned.
Flashing Green
After a period of inactivity, the ON time of the pulsing laser will be shortened.
During this time the green LED will flash. This indicates that the scanner is in a
power saver mode. When a bar code enters the laser field, the scanner will
wake up and return to normal pulse mode.
14
Failure Modes
One Razzberry Tone – On Power Up
This indicates the scanner has experienced a laser or flipper subsystem failure.
Return the unit for repair to an Authorized Service Center.

Configuration and Upgrades
Configuration Modes
The MS5145 Eclipse has three modes of configuration.
• Bar Codes
The Eclipse can be configured by scanning the bar codes located in the
MetroSelect® Single-Line Configuration Guide. This manual is available for
download at www.honeywellaidc.com.
• MetroSet®2
This user-friendly Windows®-based configuration program allows you to
simply ‘point-and-click’ at the desired scanner options. MetroSet2 is
available for download at www.honeywellaidc.com.
• Serial Programming
This mode of configuration is ideal for OEM applications. Serial
programming mode gives the end-user the ability to send a series of
commands using the serial port of the host system. The commands are
equivalent to the numerical values of the bar codes located in the
MetroSelect Single-Line Configuration Guide.
EXAMPLE #1:
Command for Disabling Codabar
Command = [stx]100104[etx]
String Sent to Scanner = 02h 31h 30h 30h 31h 30h 34h 03h
(All values are hexadecimal).
2. If the command sent to the scanner is valid, the scanner will respond with an
[ack].
3. If the command sent to the scanner in invalid, the scanner will respond with
a [nak].
Note: If this occurs, the end-user must start over at the very beginning of
the configuration sequence. Re-transmitting the invalid command
will not work. The user must start over.
26
4. During configuration, the motor and laser turn off. YOU CANNOT SCAN A
BAR CODE WHILE IN SERIAL CONFIGURATION MODE.
5. There is a 20 second window between commands. If a 20 second timeout
occurs, the scanner will send a [nak] and you must start over.
6. To enter serial configuration mode, send the following command
[stx]999999[etx].
7. To exit serial configuration mode, send the following command
[stx]999999[etx], the scanner will respond with an [ack] followed by 3 beeps.
8. This mode uses the current Baud Rate, Parity, Stop Bits and Data Bits
settings that are configured in the scanner. The default settings of the
scanner are 9600, Space, 2, 7 respectively. If a command is sent to the
scanner to change any of these settings, the change will NOT take effect
until after serial configuration mode is exited.
EXAMPLE #2:
The following example will set the scanner to the factory default settings,
Disable Scanning of Code 128 bar codes, change the beeper tone, and add
a “G” as a configurable prefix.
The commands sent to the scanner do not include the small superscripted
three ( 3 ) that you see in front of each bar code string in the MetroSelect
manual. THE THREE ( 3 ) SHOULD NOT BE SENT. IT IS A CODE TYPE
DESIGNATION ONLY!
27
EXAMPLE #3:
The following example shows the events that occur when an invalid bar code
is sent. This sample will load the factory default settings and then set the
baud rate to 19200.
First, if an invalid command is sent from the host, the scanner responds with
a [nak] and the end-user must start over from the beginning.
Second, if a command is sent to change the Baud Rate, the new baud rate
does not take effect until after the end-user exits configuration mode.
28
Upgrading the Firmware
The MS5145 is part of Honeywell’s line of scanners with flash upgradeable
firmware. The upgrade process requires a new firmware file supplied to the
customer by a customer service representative and Honeywell’s MetroSet2
software. A personal computer running Windows 95 or greater with an
available RS232 serial or USB port is required to complete the upgrade.
Note: PowerLink cable #54-54014 is required when using RS232 for the
upgrade process. To order this cable contact a customer service
representative. Do not use the standard cable supplied with keyboard
wedge or RS485 scanner interface kits. If using USB for the upgrade
process, the standard USB cable provided with the scanner can be used.
See Contact Information on page 35.
MetroSet2 is available for download, at no additional cost, from
www.honeywellaidc.com.
