INTRODUCTION
Metrologic's Cubit®Series of compact omnidirectional bar code scanners
includes the MS6520 for retail applications and the IS6520 for OEM applications.
Both Cubit models have several key product features including:
•Fully Automatic Scanning Operation
•Single Cable Interface To Host
•PowerLink Quick Disconnect User-Replaceable Cables
•7 Beeper Tones
•Programmable Depth Of Fields
•Capable Of Scanning And Decoding All Standard Barcodes Including
Rss-14, RSS Limited And RSS Expanded Bar Codes
•OPOS And JPOS System Compatible
•Sunrise 2005 Compliant
The MS6520 is equipped with a tilt stand that can be mounted securely to the
countertop or wall for fixed -mount scanning. The multi-position stand has a
locking design that rotates the head of the MS6520 up to 64° making it perfect
for installation underneath check writing and credit card stands.
Since the IS6520 was designed to be part of an OEM product, it does not
include the tilt stand but instead is equipped with three (3) threaded mounting
holes on the back of the unit. The modular design of the IS6520 is versatile
enough for integration into a diversity of applications including kiosks, reverse
vending machines, time/attendance machines and price look-up systems.
A fixed vertical stand is also available for additional purchase. Please contact a
customer service representation at 1-800-ID-METRO for information.

INSTALLATION
RS232, Light Pen (IS6520-41/MS6520-41)
1. Turn off the host device.
2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the
PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket
on Cubit. You will hear a ‘click’ when
the connection is made.
3. Connect the 9-pin female end of the
PowerLink cable to the host device.
Note: Skip to step 6 if receiving power
from the host device.
4. Plug the external power supply into the
power jack on the PowerLink cable.
Check the AC input requirements
of the power supply to make sure
the voltage matches the AC
outlet. The outlet must be
located near the equipment and
be easily accessible.
5. Connect AC power to the transformer.
6. Turn on the host device.
Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system does not
guarantee that scanned information will be communicated properly to
the host system. The scanner is shipped from the factory configured
to a set of default parameters. Please refer to the MetroSelect
Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407) for instructions on changing the
scanner’s configuration. In addition, please check that the scanner
and host system are using the same communication protocol.
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.

INSTALLATION
Keyboard Wedge (IS6520-47/MS6520-47)
1. Turn off the host device.
2. Plug the male 10-pin RJ45 end of the
PowerLink cable into the 10-pin socket
on Cubit. You will hear a ‘click’ when
the connection is made.
3. Disconnect the keyboard from the host
device.
4. Connect the “Y” end of the PowerLink
cable to the keyboard and the keyboard
port on the host device. If necessary
use the male/female adapter cable
supplied with the scanner to make the
proper connections.
5. Plug the external power supply into the
power jack on the PowerLink cable.
Check the AC input requirements
of the power supply to make sure
the voltage matches the AC
outlet. The outlet must be
located near the equipment and
be easily accessible.
6. Connect AC power to the transformer.
7. Turn on the host device.
Powering the Cubit 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 through the keyboard port.
For this reason, Metrologic recommends using an external power
supply. For additional information contact a Metrologic customer
service representative.
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
