Introduction
Product Overview
The MS5145 Eclipseis a single-line, hand-held laser scanner.
Equipped with Honeywell’s patented CodeGate®technology, Eclipse can be
used in a wide variety of applications. CodeGate technology allows the user to
easily target the desired bar code and complete the data transmission with a
simple press of a button. This combination makes Eclipse a perfect selection for
menu scanning, point-of-sale, document processing and inventory control.
With state-of-the-art scanning technology embedded inside, the MS5145 Eclipse
has a longer working range and a wider scan field than a typical CCD. The width
of the scan line grows as the scanner moves further away from bar codes. In
addition, the laser beam pulses, making lining up bar codes easy and when the
scanner senses a bar code (CodeSense®Mode), the laser beam automatically
switches to scan mode and activates CodeGate to ensure high-speed scanning
and accuracy.
Many standard features are included such as: user configurable Flash ROM,
PowerLink user-replaceable cables, MetroSet®2 and MetroSelect®configuration,
and data editing (parsing).

Maintenance
Smudges and dirt on the unit’s window can interfere with the unit’s performance.
If the window requires cleaning, use only a mild glass cleaner containing no
ammonia. When cleaning the window, spray the cleaner onto a lint free, non-
abrasive cleaning cloth then gently wipe the window clean.
If the unit’s case requires cleaning, use a mild cleaning agent that does not
contain strong oxidizing chemicals. Strong cleaning agents may discolor or
damage the unit’s exterior.

Caution and Serial Number Labels
Figure 2. Label Location on the Bottom of the Scanner with Example
Caution: To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to
the imager must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage)
according to EN/IEC 60950-1.
5
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1/UL 60950-1
and norm EN/IEC 60950-1, the power source should meet applicable
performance requirements for a limited power source.

Cable Installation and Removal
Installation
1. Insert the cable’s modular connector into the socket on the scanner.
2. Pull gently on the cable strain relief to ensure the cable is installed.
Note: If the PowerLink cable is not fully latched, the unit can power
intermittently.
Figure 3.
Removal
Disconnect the power supply from the PowerLink cable and turn off power to the
host system before removing the cable from the scanner.
1. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ on the front
side of the scanner near the end of the
handle.
2. Bend an ordinary paperclip into the shape
shown.
3. Insert the paperclip (or other small metallic
pin) into the small ‘pin-hole’. There will be
a faint ‘click’ when the connector’s lock
releases.
4. Pull gently on the cable’s strain-relief to
remove the cable.
