Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
2002/96/EC
This Product, and its accessories, comply with the requirements of the Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC. If your
end-of-life Psion Teklogix product or accessory carries a label as shown
here, please contact your local country representative for details on how to

Restriction On Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
2002/95/EC
What is RoHS?
The European Union has mandated that high environmental standards be met
in the design and manufacture of electronic and electrical products sold in
Europe, to reduce hazardous substances from entering the environment. The
“Restriction on Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS)” prescribes the
maximum trace levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium,
and flame retardants PBB and PBDE that may be contained in a product.
Only products meeting these high environmental standards may be “placed
on the market” in EU member states after July 1, 2006.
RoHS Logo
Although there is no legal requirement to mark RoHS-compliant products,
Psion Teklogix Inc. indicates its compliance with the directive as follows:

The RoHS logo located either on the back of the product or underneath the
battery in the battery compartment (or on a related accessory such as the
charger or docking station) signifies that the product is RoHS-compliant as
per the EU directive. Other than as noted below, a Psion Teklogix product
that does not have an accompanying RoHS logo signifies that it was placed
on the EU market prior to July 1, 2006, and is thereby exempt from the
directive.
Note: Not all accessories or peripherals will have a RoHS logo due to
physical space limitations or as a result of their exempt status.
Disclaimer
Every effort has been made to make this material complete, accurate, and up-
to-date. In addition, changes are periodically added to the information herein;

LASER SAFETY COMPLIANCE
The laser scanner conforms to the applicable requirements of both CDRH 21 CFR 1040 and
EN60825-1 at the date of manufacture.
The laser light is visible to the human eye and is emitted from the output window c.
Laser warning and classification label d.
CAUTION
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of
procedures other than those specified herein may result in
exposure to hazardous visible laser light.
The laser scanner utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring directly at the laser beam
momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring at the beam as one would with
any very strong light source, such as the sun. Avoid that the laser beam hits the eye of an
observer, even through reflective surfaces such as mirrors, etc.

The label on the cradle contains LED indicators and a scan finder button. When the
button is pressed, the cradle transmits a “broadcast” message. All properly
configured scanners (Radio RX Timeout set to keep the radio “awake”) linked to that
base (through a bind or a join sequence) and within radio range coverage will emit a
beep sequence once every 2 seconds for 30 seconds. A scanner is considered to be
linked when the last transmission ends properly.
The scan finder works only in stand-alone layout (point to point or multiple readers).

INTRODUCTION

1 INTRODUCTION
Psion Teklogix renews its range of industrial laser scanners introducing the
PowerScan®family: PowerScan®D8330 and PowerScan®M8300. Robustness and
ergonomics remain unsurpassed: clearly audible beeper and bright "good read" LEDs
for areas where noise levels are normally high; the aim mode, which helps point to
the right code, has now been extended to the whole PowerScan®family. Optical
parts are completely suspended on shock absorbers and a careful choice of the body
materials, such as the co-moulded rubber, protect the PowerScan®from damage
due to "falls".
New enhanced architecture, based on an M16 high-speed microprocessor, enables
exceptional performance for promptness and reading speed of standard codes as
well as the ability to read poorly printed and damaged codes. Patented Puzzle Solver
Technology™ adds further strength to the PowerScan®powerful engine.
In all applications where mobility is a value, the new PowerScan®M8300 represents
the key to increase productivity and flexibility in the working area.
PowerScan®M8300 communicates through a low power, license-free radio in the
433 MHz band (910 MHz for USA version) and allows bi-directional communication
between the base station and the host. PowerScan®M8300 also includes a display
and a 3 push-button keypad. Thanks to these features, the operator can receive
information from the host, interact with the central system and visualize the code
read. The cordless system offers scalable solutions to solve simple applications and
complex projects:
•Point to point: each reader is associated with its own base station;
•Multipoint: up to 32 readers transmit data to one base station;
•Network: to cover a wide area, connecting up to 16 bases and 512 readers
simultaneously working in automatic roaming.
PowerScan®M8300 is 100% compatible with STAR-System™, the new Psion
Teklogix RF narrow band solution for mobile applications that provides the widest
family of narrow band devices on the market.
Your PowerScan®reader is supplied with its own Quick Reference Guide, which
provides connection, diagrams, reading diagrams, basic application parameter
settings, default values, and specific technical features. You can use either the Quick
Reference Guide or this Manual for initial configuration in order to set the default
values and select the interface for your application. This manual provides all the
necessary information for complete mechanical installation and system software
configuration.

CAUTION
Connections should always be made with power OFF!
2.1 POWERSCAN®D8330 INTERFACE CABLE CONNECTIONS
The PowerScan®D8330 reader incorporates a multi-standard interface, which can be
connected to a Host by plugging the correct interface cable into the connector and
closing the cable cover.
A. Rubber gasket
B. Plastic boot
C. Cable spacer
D. Cover
E. Strain relief

INSTALLATION

Follow the given procedure for correct cable insertion:
cSlip the cover over the cable.
dPush the plastic boot into the rubber gasket. Take care that the tab on the plastic
boot is aligned with the notch in the rubber gasket.
ePush the plastic boot and gasket into the handle. Ensure that the “Front” marking
on the plastic boot is facing out, with the arrow pointing towards the front of the
scanner.
fInsert the cable into the socket of the plastic boot.
gInsert the cable spacer into the cable wire and slide it towards the handle.
hPush the cover along the cable towards the reader, and hook it over the yellow
“tooth”.
iInsert the strain relief into the cover and tighten the screw to fix the whole
assembly to the reader handle.
