Please consult factory for availability. & When included, the power pack is a wall mount device with 110 vac primary, and a regulated +5 VDC secondary output. + Connector contains a molded-in power jack. ^ Power must be supplied on pin 9 of the DB-9 connector. SCANTEAM 6980 User’s Guide 3 Installation All versions of the SCANTEAM 6980 depend on an external source of +5 VDC power to operate. Since most RS-232 interface ports don’t provide a power source, an external + 5 VDC power supply must be plugged into the molded receptacle in the SCANTEAM 6980’s interface connector for all versions, except the 6980-5 +. The SCANTEAM 6980 is easily installed into a PC system in the following steps: 1) Turn the system power off. 2) Connect the MSR cable to the PC’s 9 pin D male RS-232 port. 3) Connect the 5 VDC adaptor cable to the MSR and then plug the 5 VDC adaptor into a 120 vac receptacle. 4) The MSR can be mounted to the wall, the side of a PC, a keyboard, or simply to a counter with the hook and loop fastener strips included with the product. Alternatively, the screws holding the bottom plastic case on the MSR may be replaced with longer screws for mounting purposes. 5) Turn the system power on. 6) Configure your host device to accept RS-232 data on its RS-232 port. 7) Test the SCANTEAM 6980’s host interface configuration by passing a magnetic stripe card through the SCANTEAM 6980. The magnetic stripe data should appear on your PC screen. If the data does not appear on the screen, you may have to modify the output data configuration of the SCANTEAM 6980 (see page 6, Configuration Options). + The SCANTEAM 6980-5 will only operate when the host device supplies power on pin 9 of its DB-9 RS-232 interface port. 4 SCANTEAM 6980 User’s Guide Output Data Format Note: See DIP Switch Feature Selection chart on page 8 for factory default settings.
