Replacing an Installed DX8210

If for any reason, a scanner fails, it can be replaced quickly with a spare unit with

parameters recovered from flash memory or a saved parameter file.

Replacing a Standalone Scanner Using Restore

A standalone scanner (a single scanner not connected to an array/tunnel) can be

replaced using the Restore button located near the LEDs on the top of the hous-

ing.

To replace the scanner using Restore:

1. Remove power from the existing scanner and remove the power and I/O

cables.

2. Label the cables attached to ETH1 and/or ETH2 so you can easily identify

ere they were connected, then remove the cables.

3. Detach the existing scanner from its mo

unting bracket, leaving the bracket

attached to the mounting structure.

4. Attach the replacement scanner to the mounting bracket.

5. Reattach the power, I/O, ETH1 and/or ETH2 cables.

6. Apply power to the system.

7. Once the scanner has booted up and the READY LED lights solid green,

press

and hold the RESTORE button until all of the LEDs turn on, indicating

that the parameters are being restored from the CBX510’s BM100 backup

module.

8. Release the RESTORE button. The green READY L

ED should come back on.

This procedure assumes that system parameters have been properly saved as

described in sections , and .

If you are not sure the replacement scanner has been defaulted to factory settings, it is

a good idea to default the unit before installing it in a system. To do this:

1. Attach a power cable to the replacement scanner and apply power.

2. Simultaneously, press and hold down the yellow X-Press and Restore buttons on the

unit until the LEDs flash three times.

3. Release the buttons. The unit is now reset to the factory default.

If laser placement is critical (such as in Packtrack applications with tight package spac-

ing), the laser location must be marked on the conveyor prior to the replacement, and

these marks must be used to align the replacement unit.
