1. turn off the host system.
2. connect the 10-pin rj45 plug of the powerlink cable into the jack on the ms5145.
3. disconnect the keyboard from the host system.
4. connect the l-shaped plug of the power supply into the power jack on the powerlink cable (refer to the manufacturer's recommendation and note on page 6).
5. make sure the ac input requirements of the power supply match the ac outlet. connect the power supply into an ac outlet (see caution statement on page 6↑**).
6. the powerlink "y" cable is terminated with a 5-pin din female connector on one end, and a 6-pin mini din male on the other. metrologic will supply an adapter cable with a 5-pin din male connector on one end and a 6-pin mini din female connector on the other. according to the termination required, connect the appropriate end of the adapter cable to the powerlink "y" cable, leaving the necessary termination exposed for connecting to the keyboard and the keyboard port on the host system.
7. connect the powerlink "y" cable to the keyboard and keyboard port on the host system.

8. power up the host system.
9. when the ms5145 is ready to scan, the green led will turn on, the red led will flash and the scanner will beep once.
manufacturer's recommendation
if the keyboard port of the host system cannot supply enough current, the use of an external power supply with the ms5145 keyboard wedge will be necessary.
powering the ms5145 directly from the computer keyboard connector could interfere with the operation of the scanner or the computer. not all computers supply the same current through the keyboard port, so a scanner may work on one computer and not another (see caution statement on page 5).
1、to maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for selv (safety extra low voltage) according to en 60950.
2、*to maintain compliance with standard csa c22.2 no. 60950/ul 60950 and norm en 60950, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.
3、**to maintain compliance with federal regulations 21 cfr, part 1040.10, section (f)(6) the scanner must be plugged into an electrical outlet with a switch accessible to the user or be powered by a host system containing a switch that will disable power to the scanner
the center of the l-shaped plug of the power supply is negative ("-").
