V PREFACE The 5000/5100 stationary batch terminals are intended for versatile data collection applications with its large and expandable database capacity, and allow programmable solutions to meet varying needs of customers. Various operational parameters can be configured, such as backlight control, buzzer control, graphic screen and output format. Integrated with a proximity reader and backlit keypad, the 5000 terminal simply satisfies general needs regarding large data collection. Based on the 5000 terminal, the 5100 terminal comes with a backlit LCD for displaying information. Alternatively, both models can make use of a battery pack for achieving a non-interruptible operation during power outage. Without such power backup, the terminals will not function during a power fail, but all transaction and configuration data stored in memory will be maintained by the 3V lithium button cell for at least one week. The 5000/5100 terminals can be easily added to your legacy networks. Networking options include 10/100Base-T Ethernet. Moreover, detachable terminal blocks make it easy and flexible to connect with other external devices, such as a reader, door switch, siren, door sensor, electronic lock, etc. This manual serves to guide you through how to install, configure, and operate the 5000/5100 terminals. The Care & Maintenance section is specifically prepared for those who are in charge of taking care of the terminals. We recommend you to keep one copy of the manual at hand for quick reference or maintenance purposes. To avoid any improper disposal or operation, please read the manual thoroughly before use. Thank you for choosing the CipherLAB products!
1 CARE & MAINTENANCE This is specifically prepared for those who are in charge of taking care of the terminals, such as a terminal operator or maintenance engineer. Here are some tips on how to take care and maintain the terminals. Taking care of the terminal  Always keep electric equipments like the terminals away from any flammable sources.  Always make sure there is stable power supply for the terminal to operate properly.  This terminal is intended for indoor use. It may do damage to the terminals when being exposed to extreme temperatures or soaked wet.  When the body of the terminal gets dirty, use a clean and wet cloth to wipe off the dust. DO NOT use/mix any bleach or cleaner. Always keep the LCD dry.  For a liquid crystal display (LCD), DO NOT use any pointed or sharp objects to move against the surface. Maintaining the terminal  If you want to put away the terminal for a period of time, download the collected data to a host first, and then take out the battery pack. Store the terminal and battery pack separately.  When the terminal resumes its work, the rechargeable main and backup batteries will take a certain time to become fully charged.  If you shall find the terminal malfunctioning, refer to the Troubleshooting section for self help first.  If the problem persists, please write down the specific scenario and consult your local sales representative.  In no circumstances, users are allowed to repair components.
2 GETTING READY If you are using the terminal for the first time, the illustration below gives outline of the system and section references. Access to the configuration menus needs to disconnect the external and internal power connection of the terminal first. Therefore, we suggest that you do all the configuration and downloading jobs before setting up the system on site. Figure 1: References for setting up system
