Preface
The Scantech Sirius S-7030 scanner combines the demand for table mounted-
and hand held scanning. The ergonomic design ensures effortless handling and
the sympathetic good looks will automatically enhance any working environment.
It is based on proven Scantech-ID technology which forms the basis of all our
omni-directional scanners. Bar code labels are read by presenting the labels
towards the scanner. Alternatively you can take the scanner in your hand and
present it towards the bar code. Using both functionality‟s results in maximum
scanning capabilities, using only a minimum footprint on the counter desk.
One button operates the Sleepmode (wake-up) and the „single-line‟feature, such
you can easily target, similar to an ordinary, non-omni directional handgun. This
is convenient if you need to scan just one out of many labels close to each
other.
The Sirius S-7030 reads all popular bar code symbologies. For the reading of
damaged and out-of-spec codes, the latest ASIC technology and STAR code
reconstruction software has been integrated.
The Sirius S-7030 is equipped with triple interface for integration in nearly every
environment. The interface (RS-232, Key Board Wedge or USB) is selected by
the cable connected. USB plus power is supported as well. The low power
consumption makes the Sirius multi-connectable. The Sirius is available in three
different colour schemes and standard supplied with an EAS antenna and its
very flexible stand for turning 360 and tilting ± 25 degrees.
This manual contains three chapters and three appendices. The first chapter
describes the Sirius and its general features. The description for installation
can be found in the second chapter. Precisely follow the instructions for the
installation of the scanner. The scanners‟settings can be changed with
the bar code labels from the Configuration Guide that came with the unit.
Chapter three describes the daily use of the scanner.
Appendix A gives the pin definition for the connected cable. The pin definition
may be required when you want to make a new or special cable for
communication with the POS/computer. Technical specifications of the Sirius
S-7030 can be found in Appendix B. Refer to Appendix C for troubleshooting
if the scanner is not working properly.

English:
The S-7030 scanner complies with safety standard IEC 825-1 (1993) for a Class I laser product. It
also complies with U.S. 21CFR1040 as applicable to a Class IIa laser product. Avoid long term
viewing of direct laser light.
Optical:
The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. Optical instruments include
binoculars, microscopes and magnifying glasses but do not include eye glasses worn by the user.
Radiant Energy:
The S-7030 uses a low-power laser diode operating at 630…670 nm in an opto-mechanical scanner
resulting in less than 0.6 mW peak output power. Laser light observed at 13 cm (5.1 in.) above the
window through a 7 mm (0.28 in.) aperture and averaged over 1000 seconds is less than 3.9 µW
per CDRH Class IIa specification. Do not attempt to remove the protective housing of the scanner,
as unscanned laser light with a peak output up to 0.8 mW could be accessible inside.
Laser Light Viewer:
The scanner window is the only aperture through which laser light may be observed on this product.
A failure of the scanner motor, while the laser diode continues to emit a laser beam, may cause
emission levels to exceed those for safe operation. The scanner has safeguards to prevent this
occurrence. If, however, a stationary laser beam is emitted, the failing scanner should be
disconnected from its power source immediately.
Adjustments:
Do not attempt any adjustments to or alteration of this product. Do not remove the scanner‟s
protective housing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
DANGER!
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser
light exposure.

2.1 CONNECTING THE SCANNER
Installation
Before you connect any cable to the scanner, decide whether you will guide it
backward as a tail or downward, through the foot and counter surface!
1. Remove the end cover.
Firmly press the end cover as indicated below and carefully slide the cover
approx. ¾ cm. downward (referring to normal operating position).
Now you can lift off the cover.
(If you have an older type of cover, press the two little clips on the bottom
and carefully shift the end cover downward and take it away. („Downward‟is
referring to the normal lower side of the scanner, if positioned in operating
position.))
2. Make sure the power has been turned off and connect the interface cable
to the 10-pin RJ-48 connector of the scanner as indicated below:
3. In case you use an EAS cable do not forget to mount the EAS connector
on the small white port under the data port.

Installation 11
4. Be sure you make a loop in the cable, which will fit under the end-cover,
as this is an essential part of the strain relief (see right picture above).
5. Guide the cable through the exit slit and carefully mount the end cover.
6. (If you have an older type of cover: lock the two little clips by shifting them
toward the front of the scanner until you hear it click.
The Sirius S-7030 is standard equipped with the following interfaces:
RS-232
Key Board Wedge (KBW)
USB and USB plus power.
The scanner also provides:
EAS connection
2.2 POWERING THE SIRIUS SCANNER.
The Sirius is designed so that you only need one single and simple cable for
both data and power using “Direct Power”(or “Power Of Terminal”).
This requires that your PC/POS systemis providing sufficient power on its
data port (RS-232, USB or KBW). See Appendix B for details.
All applicable Sirius interface cables have a power injector to connect an
optional external PSU in the case the POS systemdoes not supply (sufficient)
DC power for the scanner. See next page for illustration.
A standard PC USB port will supply sufficient power for the scanner to function
without any problems. The Sirius can also be connected to the „USB plus power‟
ports (the green connector).
If you use Key Board Wedge interface, the PC/POS systemusually supplies
sufficient power. Some PC/POS systems may have problems supplying the
required power via the Key Board connector. In this case you can easily add
an external power supply and connect it via the available power injector in the
KBW cable.

12
ATTENTION
Installation
Though most cables do have a power injector in the cable, this
does not automatically mean that you must use a power supply.
For safety reasons an automatic switch will disconnect the
power provided by the PC/POS system, as soon as a separate
power adapter is connected to the power injector.

Installation
2.3 MOUNTING THE SCANNER PLUS FLEXIBLE
STAND
To install the scanner on the flexible scanner stand, lead the cable either
13
backward via the slit in the rear-side of the stand, or guide it vertically through
the stand to be connected to the scanner. Furthermore the stand should be
fastened to the counter top. You than can easily put the scanner in the stand.
To mount the stand you are advised to precisely follow the next steps:
1. Gently pull the bottom disk out of the stand.
2. Place the bottom plate on the counter and mark the places for the
mounting holes on the counter top and mark the hole to lead the cables
through.
3. Drill the mounting holes and the lead-through hole.
ATTENTION
If you prefer not to drill in your counter, you can mount the stand
using the provided double-sided tape and have the cables leave the
foot at the rear, just above the circular basis.
4. Fix the bottom plate on the counter top using the screws or tape from the
mounting kit.

14
5. Optional:
Lead the cables from the bottom upwards
through the hole in the counter, through the
bottom plate and through the scanner stand.
Click the stand on the bottom plate.
