INTRODUCTION
Metrologics ScanQuest Engines are miniature laser bar code scanners designed to be used in OEM applications and decode equipped OEM devices. The ScanQuest series provides fast, accurate, reliable scanning in a compact, lightweight package.

Two engine models are available: the IS4125 and the IS4110. The IS4125 has built-in decoding for versatile OEM operations, while the IS4110 non-decode engine interfaces directly with decode-equipped OEM devices*. The IS4125 has flash upgradeable firmware. * Note: The manufacturer of the end equipment must register with agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The specifications required for registration are not obtainable until the OEM manufacturer uses the ScanQuest Engine in its final configuration. Therefore, it becomes the responsibility of the manufacturer who incorporates the scan engine into their product to comply with all federal laser safety regulations. The manufacturer must submit a Laser Product Report for the FDA in the US or similar forms as required by other countries. Metrologic will assist its customers in complying with the necessary procedures.

Theory of Operation
An infrared (IR) device located behind the scanner window initiates the scanning process. The IR sensor is active as long as the unit is being powered. When the laser decodes a bar code, the scan engine transmits the data to the host system. If the same bar code stays in the field after successfully scanning, the laser stays on for approximately 4 seconds and then turns off. This prevents unintentional reads of the same bar code. To read the same symbol more than once, remove the object from the scan field for approximately 1 second and then present the symbol again. If the bar code and object is removed from the field during the scanning process, the laser turns off. In this stage, the scan engines computer remains on standby. However, if the object stays in the field, the laser remains on for up to 2.5 seconds trying to detect the bar code. To reactivate the scanning sequence, remove the object.

This aperture emits laser light.

Infrared Object Sensor: When a specified time has elapsed without any scanning, the unit will enter a standby mode. To reactivate the unit, present an object in front of the IR (infrared) sensor. Ribbon Cables: This IS4110 has a 10 position FFC/FPC cable and the IS4125 has a 12-position FFC/FPC cable. Refer to Scanner Termination starting on page 15.

INTRODUCTION
Label Locations
The serial number label is located on the bottom of the unit. On the top of the unit is the avoid exposure and model number label. The following are examples of these labels:

Figure 3: Labels

Maintenance
Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. Therefore, the output window will need occasional cleaning. 1. 2. 4 Spray glass cleaner onto lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth. Gently wipe the scanning window.

IR SENSOR ACTIVATION
An infrared (IR) sensor located behind the scanner window initiates the scanning process. In short range mode the signal projects approximately 101.61 mm 177.84 mm (4" 7") beyond the output window. In long range mode the signal projects approximately 228.61 mm 330.21 mm (9" 13") beyond the output window. The IR sensor remains active as long as the unit is powered. When the unit remains dormant for a time, the laser will turn off. In this stage, the scan engines computer is on standby. To reactivate the unit, present an object within the scan field.

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
Specifications for the Supplemental Window
The IS4100 ScanQuest series was designed for integration into OEM equipment. The device is designed to function at its maximum performance capabilities as shipped. If the scanner is integrated into a system that requires a supplemental window in front of it, its performance will be altered to some degree. To minimize the effect of adding a supplemental window in front of the scanner the following recommendations should be followed: Material The window should have a transmission of 95% or greater at 675 nm. The window should be optically flat and clear, and free of scratches, pits, seeds etc. This material is available through Metrologic.

Mounting The window should be placed at an angle of 10 degrees with respect to the plane of the scanner window (see figure 4 below).

SCAN SENSE TIMING IS4110 Timing Diagram

The SCAN SENSE pulse occurs once for each flip cycle. A flip cycle represents one scan in each direction (right to left then left to right from the scanner perspective). The HIGH to LOW transition of the SCAN SENSE signal initiates the start of the flip cycle. The frequency of the SCAN SENSE pulses is dependent on the frequency of the internal flipper. This varies from unit to unit from 26 Hz to 30 Hz. Therefore, the period of the SCAN SENSE pulses will vary from 33 ms to 39 ms.
