Otherwise the camera may not respond to triggers properly. Connect to the Primary unit again and change Read Cycle > Trigger = External Edge Send and Save to camera (<Z>) When the <K150DAISY> is executed, the trigger mode on the secondary camera change to match the primary. By executing the <K150DAISY> when the trigger = Serial Data, the secondary units will only respond to a serial trigger to start the read cycle. If the primary camera has the trigger = External Edge, then after the <K150DAISY> all of the secondary cameras will be responding to the external trigger as well. This did appear to work in the limited testing in the office. MD – 2017-02-07 Operating System Any

With a Change to Implicit Messaging the below .EDS files are the new form of setup. kA23800000008JcCAI_en_US_1.zip

The attached file will show a simplified schematic of the input circuit to the QX-870. This diagram will show the electrical connections of Trigger, New Master, and Input 1 on connectors A, B and T. The diagram also shows the Standard trigger sensors (99-000020-xx, 99-000017-xx) wired into the circuit. The intent of this diagram is to help you understand how to wire the inputs for your application. Pay special attention to the wiring of the trigger, Notice that the Input Common line is toggled to control the read cycle. This is necessary in order for the QX-870 to pass the signal to other readers through connectors A and B. When the circuit is wired in this fashion, the New Master pin and Input 1 can not be used. To use The New Master pin, or to use input 1, you must re-wire the trigger sensor so that Input common is tied to Power, and the NPN trigger signal feeds into the Trigger2 line. When wired in the fashion, the trigger signal will not feed to other readers through connectors A and B. Common problems when wired incorrectly: Using the New Master pin triggers the reader Two readers triggered by one sensor when the trigger lines are not connected (the input common line may be tied together to cause this). Trigger input does not work. New Master pin does not work. New Master pin operation is intermittent.

The purpose of this document is to assist the user in transitioning from the MS-820 to the QX-830. MS-820 scanners have been used in a wide variety of applications, including food packaging, electronics manufacturing, automotive manufacturing, and other industrial environments. With the introduction of the QX-830 Compact Industrial Scanner and the QX Platform, applications that have used the MS-820 have the opportunity to simplify their connectivity, enhance their decode performance, and increase their configuration flexibility by upgrading to the new system. kA23800000008FECAY_en_US_1.pdf

The attached spec sheet shows mounting arm options. For QX-830 mounting accessories, reference the MS-820 parts. For QX-870 accessories, reference MS-860. kA23800000008FICAY_en_US_1.pdf

Notice regarding Daisy Chain Master and Serial vs. Ethernet. When building a Daisy Chain to an RS-232 Host, ALL scanners in the Daisy chain MUST be RS-232. If an Ethernet Reader is installed, the Host MUST be Ethernet. Refer to the Configuration guide for connection examples. QX-830 http://files.microscan.com/elqNow/elqRedir.htm?ref=http://files.microscan.com/_att/32782460-b3fb-443c-a969-9d9ba78a476d/qx830configsheet.pdf QX-870 http://files.microscan.com/elqNow/elqRedir.htm?ref=http://files.microscan.com/_att/d9c18db2-5ce4-4063-820b-9d1a6ac7befa/qx870configguide.pdf

There was a firmware bug causing the scanners to decode when no code was present. This can be resolved by upgrading to firmware revision 35-338301-14 or newer: http://www.microscan.com/en-us/ServiceAndSupport/DownloadCenter.aspx

The QX poroducts do not have subnet crossing capabilities (http ping,). Products on the same subnet have no problems To resolve this, update to -14 or newer firmware.

This document shows the outside diameters of the QX cabling products. These dimensions can be used for reference sizes when determining cable paths. kA23800000008JBCAY_en_US_1.doc

When using the barcode programming feature within the QX products if you try to change the AIAG with a barcode it will not continue reading the rest of your programming symbols including which will save the settings. As a work around you will need to program AIAG settings within the software or with serial commands.

This document shows an example of a QX product and M12 12-pin plug flying lead cordset wired to a light stack and a momentary contact switch (new master). kA238000000086SCAQ_en_US_1.pdf

TURCK makes solder-cup connectors with backshells that can be used to connect to the M12 12-pin connectors on QX Products. The Female connector (U2-02855) part number is: B81121-0/PG9 The Male connector (U2-02854) part number is: BS 81121-0/PG9 See the attached drawings for detailed information. kA23800000008FNCAY_en_US_1.zip

1. When downloading new code it does not default the reader. You need to do a after downloading new app code. 2. When installing new app code the unit must be powered off for the New App code to take effect.

There is a feature in the QXHawk that allows multiple configuration settings. (this can include focal distance) Then when the QXHawk is in a read cycle it can scroll through these settings if it does not find symbol with the one it is currently using. This feature is called Configuration Database and is fully explained in the user manual. (Chapter 4 page 4-17+) Besides that you would either have to go through a calibration routine (Chapter 7 page 7-22+) or set the focus manually by serial command. (Also in user manual)

Order part number 98-000016-01 for the 6 inch universal arm and adapter plate. This is the same part that is used for the QX-830 and QX-870. Note: new parts include slotted holes to fit the QX Hawk. If you are using existing parts, check for the slotted holes to verify compatibility. See image below.

On attached document is a list of the part numbers used for mounting the QX Hawk. kA238000000089RCAQ_en_US_1.doc

The symptoms are that the QX Hawk Stops Communicating, The LED's keep Flashing, and it still triggers and reads. It takes a full power reset to restore communications. Possible Cause: An issue in the -15 Firmware that if you use WOI and Pre-Processing in the same read it stops communicating.

There is a problem when attempting to upload an image from QX Hawk in the Evaluation screen, ESP reports 'Image Upload Failed. Failed to save off the image in the reader.' To fix this, download and install the current version of QX Hawk firmware: http://files.microscan.com/elqNow/elqRedir.htm?ref=http://files.microscan.com/_att/d46296e3-3002-4189-9839-e7516e4e6fbb/QX_Hawk_FW_APP-15_DSP-11.zip

Problem When using ordered output, and Noread message is disabled, good read data will not output beyond the position of the noread message. Example ordered output set for: code1,code2,code3,code4 Noread message: Disabled If code2 does not decode, data output should be code1,code3,code4 actual output: Code1 Solution This was fixed in -15 firmware. Download and install firmware: http://files.microscan.com/elqNow/elqRedir.htm?ref=http://files.microscan.com/_att/d46296e3-3002-4189-9839-e7516e4e6fbb/QX_Hawk_FW_APP-15_DSP-11.zip

Problem When using the configuration database symbology option to disable Data Matrix, the database entry will still decode Data Matrix codes. Solution this is a firmware bug. download and install the current firmware version http://files.microscan.com/elqNow/elqRedir.htm?ref=http://files.microscan.com/_att/d46296e3-3002-4189-9839-e7516e4e6fbb/QX_Hawk_FW_APP-15_DSP-11.zip

Be sure that the PC is powered on, and Windows is loaded. Plug in th eUSB connector, then power-on the reader. If the reader is powered-on while not plugged into the PC, it will not activate the USB interface. This applies to Quadrus MINI USB products. The MINI Hawk will operate correctly when using current firmware.
