INTRODUCTION
The MS5145 Eclipseis a single-line, ha nd-held laser scanner.
Equipped with Metrologic’s patented CodeGatetech nology, Eclipsecan be
used in a wide variety of applications. CodeGate techn ology allo ws the user to
easily tar get the desired bar code and comp lete the data transmission with a
simple press of a button. This combination makes Eclipsea perfect selection
for menu scanning, point-of-sale, docum ent proc essing and inventor y co ntrol.
With Metrologic’s state-of-the-art scanni ng tech nology embedded ins ide, the
MS5145 Eclipseh as a longer working rang e an d a wider scan field than a
typcial CC D. T he width of the scan li ne grows as the scanner moves further away
from bar codes. In addition, the laser beam pulses mak ing lining up bar c odes
easy, and when the scanner senses a bar code (CodeSe nse™ Mode), the las er
beam automatic ally switches to scan mode and activ ates Code Gate to ensure
high-speed scanning a nd acc uracy.
Many of the standard features inc lude: Po werLink User-replaceable cables, Bits
‘n’ Pieces™ data editing, User Friendly Programming using MetroSel ect™ bar
codes, or MetroSet 2 Windows-based configuration utility.

QUICK START
1. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 plu g into the jack on the EclipseMS5145. You
will hear a ‘c lick’ when the connection is made.
2. Connect the L-shaped plug of the p ower supply into the power jack on the
PowerLink cable.
3. Connect the power supply i nto an AC outlet. Make sur e the AC input
requirements of the power supply match the AC outlet.
(See caution statement below)
4. When the MS5145 is ready to scan, the gree n LED will turn on, the red LED
will flas h and the scan ner will beep once.
5. The MS5145‘s operation is automatic. The laser pulses on and off. The
green LED remains on during normal pulse operatio n and it bli nks duri ng
power save mode.
Operational Test
6. Place a bar cod e in front of the scanning window. While aiming at the bar
code with the blinking laser beam, press the CodeGatebutton, scan ner will
beep onc e an d flash the re d LED if the bar code was successfully decoded.
7. The scanner is shipped from the factory programmed with default settings.
To configure the MS5145 scanner to meet the host system’s spec ific ne eds,
refer to the Programming Guide or custom configuration guide for
instructions on how to change the scanners default settings.
Caution:
To maintain compliance with federal regulations 21 CFR, Part 1040.10, section (f)(6) the scanner
must be plugged into an electrical outlet with a switch accessible to the user or be powered by a host
system containing a switch that will disable power to the scanner.

STANDARD RS232 SCANNER INSTALLATION
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 plug of the PowerLink cable into the jack on the
MS5145 RS2 32 scan ner.
Note: If the MS5145 is receiving power from the host system, skip to step
#5. (See caution statement below*)
3. Connect the L-shaped plug of the p ower supply into the po wer jack on the
PowerLink cable. (See caution statement below**)
4. Make sure the AC input requirements of the power supply match the AC
outlet. Connect the p ower suppl y into an AC outlet.
5. Connect the PowerLink cable to the proper port on the h ost system.
6. Turn on the host system
7. When the MS5145 is ready to scan, the green LED will turn on, the red LE D
will flas h and the scan ner wil l bee p once.
Manufacturer’s Note:
Plugging the scanner into a port on the host system do es not guarantee that the
scanned i nformation will be communicated prop erly to the host system. The
scanner an d/or the host s ystem may need to be configured for communications
to occur.
Caution:
To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet
the requirements for SELV (Safety Ext ra Low Voltage) according to EN 60950.
*To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950/UL 60950 and norm EN 60950, the
power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.
**To maintain compliance with federal regulations 21 CFR, Part 1040.10, section (f)(6) the scanner
must be plugged into an electrical outlet with a switch accessible to the user or be powered by a host
system containing a switch that will disable power to the scanner.

KEYBOARD WEDGE SCANNER INST ALLATION
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Connect the 10-pin RJ45 plug of the PowerLink cable into the jack on the
MS5145.
3. Disconnect the keyboard from the host system.
4. Connect the L-shaped plug of the p ower supply into the po wer jack on the
PowerLink cable (refer to the manufacturer’s recommendation and Note on
page 6).
5. Make sure the AC input requirements of the power supply match the AC
outlet. Connect the po wer supply into an AC outlet (see caution statement
on page 6**).
6. The PowerLink “Y” cable is termin ated with a 5-pin DIN female connector on
one end, and a 6-pin mini DIN male on t

KEYBOARD WEDGE INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
Manufacturer’s Recommendation
If the keyboard port of the host system ca nnot suppl y enough current, the use of
an external power su pply with the MS5 145 Keyb oard W edge wil l be necessary.
Powering the MS5145 directly from the computer keyboard connector could
interfere with the operation of the scanner or the computer. Not all computers
supply the same curr ent throug h the keyboard port, so a scanner may work on
one com puter and not another (see caution statement on page 5).
Caution:
To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet
the requirements for SELV (Safety Ext ra Low Voltage) according to EN 60950.
*To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950/UL 60950 and norm EN 60950, the
power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.
**To maintain compliance with federal regulations 21 CFR, Part 1040.10, section (f)(6) the scanner
must be plugged into an electrical outlet with a switch accessible to the user or be powered by a host
system containing a switch that will disable power to the scanner
Note: The center of the L-Shaped plug of the power supply is negative (“-“).
