Using THE BC-80X0
Radio Cradle
The BC-80X0 cradle, paired with one or more PowerScan™ M8300
readers, builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding
and transmission of bar-coded data.
It can be connected to a Host PC through an RS-232, USB, Wedge or
Pen cable and is suited for single-cradle point-to-point layouts. It can
also be connected to a C-BOX and therefore integrated into a fixed
scanner application.
The BC-8060 models also allow multi-cradle layouts through an RS-485
Network. For this network connection refer to the PowerScan™ D8330/
M8300 User Manual.
The label on the cradle has LED indicators and a scan finder button.
When the button is pressed, the cradle transmits a “broadcast”
message. All properly configured scanners (Radio RX Timeout set to
keep the radio “awake”) that are linked to that base (through a bind or a
join sequence) and within radio range coverage will emit a beep
sequence once every 2 seconds for 30 seconds. This functionality is
useful to:
• verify which scanners are linked to a certain base station
• detect a scanner forgotten somewhere
The LEDs signal the BC-80X0 status, as described in the following table:
*This LED refers to the accessory SBS-8000 Spare Battery Slot when
mounted to the BC-8060. Not available for BC-8010 models
.
