The Gateway receives the scanned barcode data from the scanner via BLE. This barcode data is transmitted to the end
device via USB cable. In the USB HID mode, the Gateway simulates a computer keyboard. A serial connection is emulated
in the USB CDC mode. In order to use the USB CDC mode, the device must be set to “USB CDC” in the ProGlove Insight
Configuration Tool (https://insight.proglove.com/)
under “Connectivity Configuration - Integration path”. Also multipairing
is possible. The Gateway can be connected with up to 5 scanners simultaneously.

to enable secure mounting of the 10-Slot Charging Station
(with screws and/or zip-ties).
Two wall mount slots on the back side can be used to fix
the device with screw heads 135mm apart from each other.
The rail slot on the back enables mounting to a standard
DIN rail, facilitating the installation in an IT rack or similar
constructions. Additionally, the 10-Slot Charging Station
can be installed on a monitor arm or stand with holes 75mm
appart horizontally and vertically.

APPLICATION OF PROGLOVE SYSTEM
1ST STEP: CHARGE SCANNER 2ND STEP: CONNECT THE CONNECTIVITY DEVICE
CAUTION
Only use scanner in a dry Charging Station and
only touch with dry hands!
This may otherwise lead to the Charging Station
not functioning properly.
The pins face down.
Insert scanner in the
Charging Station.
RESULT
Scanner pulses red and charges in the Charging
Station.
NOTE
The LEDs pulse red while in charging mode. When
the battery is fully charged, the LEDs pulse green.
CAUTION
Only touch the connectivity device with dry hands! This may otherwise
lead to the connectivity device not functioning properly.
NOTE
The following steps are only needed when connecting via Gateway.
CONNECTION WITH USB CABLE IN USB HID MODE:
1. Connect the USB cable with the end
device. Follow the previous step 1 and step
2 for “Connetion with USB Cable in USB HID
Mode”. Continue with the following steps:
3. In the configuration tool
(https://insight.proglove.com/)
under “Connectivity Configuration >
Integration Path” select USB CDC.
More detailed information about this can be
found in chapter “Configure devices and firmware update.”

RESULT
The boot up of the Gateway takes around 2min until
the LED 1 lights up green. The connectivity device is
connected to the end device.
2. Plug the other end of the
USB cable into the Micro USB
socket of the Gateway. A
clear clicking sound confirms
the correct fastening.
4. Connect with the COM port on the end device.
RESULT
The boot up of the Gateway takes around 2min until
the LED 1 lights up green. The connectivity device is
connected to the end device.
3RD STEP: SWITCH ON THE SCANNER
1. Position scanner on the
fastening rail of the wearable.
The pins face down.
2. Push scanner down. A clear
clicking sound confirms the
correct fastening.
3. Press the textile trigger on
the glove for about 2 seconds
RESULT
Scanner lights up with all LEDs. You can hear a beeping
sound and feel a short vibration.
Scanner is switched on.
NOTE
Scanner switches off automatically after 15 minutes
without being used.

4TH STEP: CONNECT THE SCANNER
4TH STEP: CONNECT SCANNER (BLE)
CONNECT VIA PROGLOVE INSIGHT MOBILE:
For using a ProGlove scanner with ProGlove Insight Mobile
via software keyboard, Intent or SDK find more information
under docs.proglove.de> PG Insight Mobile.
CONNECT VIA CONNECTIVITY DEVICE
1. Press the trigger on the
wearable in order to activate the
scanner.
2. Aim scanner on the
connectivity device and scan
the pairing barcode on the
Gateway.
RESULT
Scanner lights up twice. You can hear a beeping sound
and feel a short vibration. Scanner is connected to the
connectivity device.
CONNECT VIA BLE HID TO AN END DEVICE
The scanner can be used to establish a connection via
Bluetooth Low Energy Human Interface Device (BLE HID) to
an end device. Possible operating systems are: Apple iOS, Google
Android, Microsoft Windows.
The individual steps for connecting to the respective operating
systems for the first time can be found in the following.
PREREQUISITES:
The end device supports at least Bluetooth 4.0 standard
No interference or physical obstacles (e.g. metal shelves)
interfere with the connection between the scanner and the
end device
The range between the scanner and the end device is
< 33 ft (10m)
TIP 1
Visually label the connected devices (scanner with the end
device), e.g.using numbering or a color code. This will
allow the user to find the right devices faster.
TIP 2
Adhere the pairing barcode to the end device. In this way,
the user can find it quickly and easily.

Under “Settings - Bluetooth,”
activate the Bluetooth option.
Select “LEO - 00000”.
01 02
LEO - 00000
On a battery-operated end device, the power-saving mode
can lock the end device and scanner simultaneously.
Permanently disable the power-saving mode of the end
device.
The last 5 digits of the serial number attached to the back
side identify the scanner among the available Bluetooth
devices.
Read the serial number of the scanner.
RESULT
Example serial number: LEO - 00000.
To make the scanner visible for the end device, the
scanner must be put into pairing mode:
1. Press the trigger on the
wearable in order to activate
the scanner.
2. Aim the scanner at the
pairing barcode and scan.
RESULT
Scanner pulses blue and beeping sounds can be heard.
Scanner is searching for an end device in pairing mode.
