Qscans with an rs232 interface can be programmed to simulate the output from
an Hid 5352 reader, using the 37 bit format.
Hid 5352 Emulation
INTRODUCTION
Either of the 2 digital inputs in the Qscan can be programmed to operate as
an armed loop. In the armed loop mode, if the arming loop is not ativated, the
Qscan will not transmit any data. Arming loops are typically used in parking
applications. If there is no car present, the arming loop will not be active,
therefore all barcode reads will be ignored.
Arming Loop
There are two leds on the Qscan. The led to the left is a bi-color led, and can be
programmed to operate in one of three modes - off to red, off to green, red to
green. The right led is a green led only. Typically, Qscans with a wiegand interface
will be connected to a device (a controller) which will control one or both of the
leds. For Qscans with a serial interface, the leds will be controlled by sending serial
commands to the reader.
Leds
Qscans with an emulations-style interface (wiegand, mag, f2f) can be wired in a
way which allows serial communications. You can go into this operating mode to
send commands to the Qscan for programming, and also for firmware updates.
