Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to properly connect your Datalogic 90G000008 serial cable:

1. Identify Connectors: Locate the DB-9 female connector and the RJ-style connector on the cable.
2. Connect to Datalogic Device: Insert the RJ-style connector firmly into the designated serial port on your compatible Datalogic device (e.g., DLL 5110-M1, Lynx D302, Touch 65 Light). Ensure it clicks into place.
3. Connect to Host System: Plug the DB-9 female connector into the serial (COM) port of your host computer or terminal. Secure the connection using the thumbscrews on the DB-9 connector, if available, to prevent accidental disconnection.
4. Power On: Once the cable is securely connected at both ends, power on your Datalogic device and the host system.

Note: Ensure that the necessary drivers for your Datalogic device and its serial communication are installed on the host system before attempting data transfer.

Operating Instructions

The Datalogic 90G000008 serial cable is a passive component designed for data transmission. Proper operation primarily involves ensuring a secure and stable connection.

• Verify Connection: Before initiating any data transfer, visually inspect both ends of the cable to confirm they are securely seated in their respective ports.
• Software Configuration: Configure your host system's software (e.g., terminal emulator, application software) to communicate with the Datalogic device via the correct serial (COM) port and matching communication parameters (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, flow control). Refer to your Datalogic device's specific manual for recommended serial port settings.
• Data Transfer: Once configured, you can proceed with data transfer operations as per your Datalogic device's functionality.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Datalogic 90G000008 serial cable, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the cable and connectors with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure connectors are free of dust and debris.
• Storage: When not in use, store the cable in a clean, dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Avoid tightly coiling or kinking the cable, which can damage internal wires.
• Handling: Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of damage, such as frayed insulation, bent pins on the DB-9 connector, or cracked connector housings. Replace the cable if any damage is observed.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Datalogic 90G000008 serial cable, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Communication:
  • Ensure both ends of the cable are securely connected.
  • Verify that the Datalogic device and host system are powered on.
  • Check the serial port settings (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, flow control) in your host software to ensure they match the Datalogic device's requirements.
  • Confirm that the correct serial (COM) port is selected in your host software.
  • Test the cable with another compatible Datalogic device or host system if available, to rule out issues with the cable itself or the connected devices.
• Intermittent Connection or Data Errors:
  • Inspect the cable for any physical damage, such as cuts, kinks, or bent connector pins.
  • Ensure the DB-9 connector's thumbscrews are tightened.
  • Check for electromagnetic interference (EMI) from other electronic devices. Try relocating the cable or devices if possible.
• Device Not Recognized:
  • Ensure all necessary device drivers are installed on the host computer.
  • Consult the Datalogic device's manual for specific driver installation procedures.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, contact Datalogic technical support for further assistance.
