INTRODUCTION
Metrologic's TECH 10®laser bar code projection scanner is encased in a NEMA-12 steel case. The scanner's
construction enables the scanner to operate in harsh surroundings, especially industrial environments. Water-
resistant, shock-resistant, and rugged, the TECH 10 scanner is also fast, aggressive and reliable. It can register
bar codes at a range of 203 mm – 559 mm (8" - 22") and can autodiscriminate among all common codes.
Among the scanner’s many features is an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) in the decoding system
that virtually eliminates misreads; and MECCA©(Metrologic Enhanced Code Correcting Algorithm), which enables
the scanner to read poorly printed, wrinkled or even torn bar codes on the first pass.

SCANNER CONNECTIONS TO THE HOST
To avoid potential problems, do not power up the scanner until the
communication cable is secured to the host
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Locate the 19-pin female end of the scanner link cable and find the widest key located above pins L and A.
Align this key with the corresponding key on the scanner box’s Mil spec connector. While pushing in on the
connector, rotate the ring clockwise until it locks into place with a click.
3. Connect the other end of the communication cable to the host device.
4. If the scanner will receive power from an external power source, check the AC input requirements of the
transformer to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet. The outlet should be near the equipment and
easily accessible.
5. Plug the transformer into the AC outlet to supply the power to the scanner.
6. Power up the host system.
7. Scan a few items to verify that data is being properly transmitted between the scanner and the host device.
Caution:
To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet
the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN 60950.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 950/UL 1950 and norm EN 60950, the power
source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

CONFIGURATION OF THE SCANNER TO THE HOST SYSTEM
The scanner is shipped from the factory programmed to a set of default conditions noted in the ScanSelect®
Scanner Programming Guide by an asterisk that appears before the brief definition next to the bar code.
In order for the scanner to communicate with the host system properly, it needs to be programmed to meet your
specific scanning needs. Since each host system is unique, the scanner must be configured to match the host
system requirements. The scanner can be configured by entering program mode and scanning the appropriate
bar codes that appear in the ScanSelect® Scanner Programming Guide. (When using ScanSet®, refer to the
ScanSet documentation for information on how to configure the scanner.)
1. Connect the scanner to the host system
(Refer to the Scanner Connections to the Host section in this guide).
2. Enter program mode by scanning the ENTER/EXIT program mode bar code.
(The unit will beep three times)
3. Scan the appropriate bar code(s) that appear in the ScanSelect Scanner Programming Guide.
(Reveal only one bar code to the scanner each time. With your hand, cover the bar code that should not
be scanned.)
4. Exit program mode by scanning the ENTER/EXIT program mode bar code again.
(The new options will be saved and the scanner is ready for normal operation.)
Caution:
To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet
the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN 60950.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 950/UL 1950 and norm EN 60950, the power
source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

PARTS OF THE SCANNER
Becoming familiar with the features of the TECH 10® scanner will help when operating the scanner. The following
illustration and list explain the pertinent parts.
Figure 1
1. Green and Red LEDs When the green LED is on, this shows that the unit is receiving power and the
laser is on. When the red LED flashes on, the scanner has read a bar code
successfully. When the red light turns off, communication to the host is complete.
2. Laser Output Window Laser light is emitted from this aperture.
3. Mil spec Connector This is a 19-pin male Mil spec connector. It is used to connect the scanner to a
host device by using a communication cable with a female Mil spec connector.
The communication cable may include a power transformer or it may be designed
to draw power directly from the host device. The standard TECH 10 only contains
one connector. If the scanner is being used with the MX001 box, then there will
be two Mil spec connectors on the unit.

INSTALLATION OF THE STAND
With the Metrologic stand (Part #45-45479), the scanner can be positioned in a vertical orientation. To use this
stand, four 6-32 x ½" machine screws and two #10 panhead wood screws will need to be purchased. The
maximum distance the screws should go into the scanner is ½ inch.
1. Lay the scanner face down on a clean cloth to prevent any scratches from occurring on the output
window. Position the scanner so the red and green LEDs are pointed toward you.
2. Lay the stand on top of the scanner with the angled bracket pointing up and toward you.
3. Align the four clearance holes to the four holes in the scanner’s case. Fasten the stand to the scanner
by inserting the four 6-32 x ½" screws into the four holes in the scanner’s case.
4. Drill two holes into the work surface that correspond with the holes in the 254 mm x 95 mm (10" x 3.75")
base of the stand.
5. Use the two #10 panhead wood screws to attach the stand and scanner to the work surface.
