Handheld bar code reader Honeywell Eclipse 5145

The Honeywell Eclipse 5145 is a compact handheld bar code reader that uses a laser sensor to deliver fast single-line scanning. Designed as a low-cost alternative to CCD scanners, the Eclipse 5145 supports common retail and back-office workflows and connects via USB. The scanner features a lightweight housing and a user-replaceable cable system compatible with other Honeywell models.

Advantages

The device includes Honeywell’s CodeGate® technology to target a specific barcode and transmit data with a single button press, and CodeSense which wakes the scanner when a barcode is detected. Flash ROM allows firmware updates via MetroSet2 on a standard PC, and the Powerlink cable design permits use of the same replaceable cables and power supplies as Voyager® and Orbit® models. The scanner is compatible with OPOS and JPOS systems and offers a fast read rate up to 72 reads/s.

• Point-of-sale scanning in retail environments
• Menu scanning and controlled item selection
• Document processing where single-line capture is required

How to use

Use MetroSet2 on a PC to apply firmware updates or change configuration settings. The scanner’s CodeSense feature will wake the device automatically when a barcode enters its field of view.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, keep the laser window clean and avoid scanning damaged or highly reflective barcodes. Use the manufacturer-recommended Powerlink cables for power and connectivity, and perform firmware updates via MetroSet2 to maintain compatibility with your POS or inventory systems.
