5000i Scanner Installation Guide
1. Scanner Overview
This chapter presents an overview of the 5000i scanner and provides information on how to
receive technical support for hardware and software problems.
Overview of the Scanner{ XE "Scanner,
5000i:Overview" }
The 5000i is a device that captures the image{ XE "Image capture" \i } of a form. It sends that
image to a host computer for analysis. Figure 1-1 illustrates the parts of the scanner.

Figure 1 – 1: Scanner Parts
In a typical scanning session, these components function as follows:
•
The power switch { XE "Power switch" }turns on the scanner and any other system
components that are plugged into the scanner's internal power strip.
•
•
The READY switch { XE "READY switch" }starts and stops the scanner.
The input hopper { XE "Input hopper" \i }holds the forms that are ready to be scanned. When
the scanner is made READY, the input hopper raises; when the scanner stops, the hopper
lowers, allowing you to load more documents. The input hopper accepts stacks of up to 750
forms, depending on the thickness and condition of the sheets.
•
The input hopper height adjustment switch { XE "Input hopper height adjustment switch" \i
}allows you to adjust the height of the input hopper so that the scanner can pick a sheet. Refer
to the Operator's Guide for the 5000i Scanner for instructions on setting this adjustment.
Chapter 1. Scanner Overview
Page 1
•
The output hopper { XE "Output hopper" }receives the forms that are successfully scanned.
When the scanner starts, the output hopper is raised; when the scanner stops, the stacker is
lowered, allowing you to remove the sheets. Before scanning, the output sheet stop
adjustment knob { XE "Output sheet-stop adjustment knob" }should be set to the length of
the scanned forms, so they will stack properly. The output hopper height adjustment switch
{ XE "Output hopper height adjustment switch" }adjusts the height at which the hopper halts.
Refer to the Operator's Guide for the 5000i Scanner for instructions on making these
adjustments.
•
•
The scanner picks the forms from the input hopper one at a time. From there, the form moves
along the transport bed by rollers that continually drive the form into the rail to remove
possible skew{ XE "Dynamic deskew station" }. The form then passes through the read heads
where the cameras capture the image of the form.
The form now goes through the turnaround station,{ XE "Turnaround station" } where the
form is turned over and sent to the wait station. At this point the software application
determines where the form should go. If the system includes the optional transport printer,{
XE "Transport printer" } then any information that needs to be printed on the form will be
sent there. The form is imprinted as it passes over the print head. The form is then sent to one
of two places:
−
The output hopper accepts up to 750 forms, depending on the thickness and condition
of the sheets. This hopper is reserved for forms that are read with no errors.
−
The select stacker { XE "Select stacker" }accepts up to 200 forms, depending on the
thickness and condition of the sheets. The software controls the hopper's use. It is used
for forms with correctable and non-correctable system errors. For example, if the system
detects a multiple response on a grid, it sends the form to the select stacker. The operator
can fix the form and scan it again.
Typical Standalone Configuration{ XE "Scanner,
5000i:Standalone configuration" }{ XE "Standalone
configuration" }
Figure 1-2 illustrates the components of a typical standalone 5000i scanner configuration. The
forms image is sent from the 5000i scanner to the computer for processing.

Chapter 2. Scanner Installation
Page 9
Checking the Voltage{ XE "Scanner installation:Check the
voltage" }
Before you plug the 5000i scanner into the designated wall outlet, the following power and
grounding requirements must be met and maintained to ensure optimum performance of the
scanner and its peripherals. To verify that the power and grounding requirements have been met,
refer to the following topics: Power Noise, Grounding, and Site Power Wiring{ XE "Wiring" \t
"See Site power wiring recommendations" } Recommendations.
Power Noise
The 5000i scanner is designed to operate satisfactorily under conditions of reasonable input
power noise. Input power noise specifications { XE "Power noise specifications" } are as
follows:
Condition
Description
Definitions
Surge or Sag – any sudden positive or negative excursion in the level
of the input voltage having a duration from 0.005 to 5 seconds.
Transient { XE "Transient specifications" }– any sudden positive or
negative change in the level of the input voltage having a duration of
between 1 nanosecond and 5 milliseconds.
Limits
No surge or sag shall exceed ± 15% of the normal rated voltage.
However, the surge or sag shall be considered acceptable provided its
amplitude does not exceed ± 50% of the normal rated voltage and it
returns to the steady-state rated level within 3 cycles of input power.
Recommendations
Dedicate a feeder line between the main building power panel and the
system branch circuit power panel serving the 5000i system.
If transients, surges, or sags outside of the limits stated above exist with
a dedicated feeder, do one or both of the following.
•
•
Install a line conditioner to limit transients.
Use a constant-voltage isolation transformer to control surges or
sags.
Grounding
Proper system grounding is extremely important to the safe and reliable operation of the
system. The 5000i scanner ground must meet two requirements:
1. It must serve as a return path for current in case of a short circuit between the power line
and the chassis of any system component.
2. It must serve as the ground reference point for the 5000i system components and data
cables.
Page 10
5000i Scanner Installation Guide
Dedicated Ground
A dedicated isolated/insulated ground { XE "Dedicated ground specifications" }for the 5000i
system must be provided. If possible, route a dedicated ground conductor { XE
"Conductor:Ground, dedicated" }between the main power panel and the 5000i system branch
circuit (with the dedicated feeder). If a dedicated ground conductor is not feasible,
Chapter 2. Scanner Installation
Page 11
then another code-approved method must be used. (The isolated ground conductor is noted
in the National Electrical Code{ XE "National Electrical Code" }{ XE "NEC" \t "See National
Electrical Code" }, Section 250-74, Exception 4.) Use of an isolated ground rod or grounding to
a water pipe is not acceptable.
An isolated/insulated ground conductor, equal to or larger in size than the heaviest gauge
AC feeder conductor in the circuit, should be bonded to the ground bus in the building main
power panel. Route it with the circuit conductors in the wiring conduit. Pass this ground
through any intermediate panel boards without connection to the panel board grounding
terminal bars. The National Electric Code, cited above, allows for the installation at the
intermediate panel board of an isolated ground bus, constructed from a terminal block kit,
for the interconnection of the isolated ground conductor.
This isolated/insulated ground conductor runs as a single, uninterrupted circuit between the
building main power panel and the 5000i system branch power panel. It forms the
interconnection point for the third-wire { XE "Ground:Third-wire" \i }grounds of all 5000i
system components. Connect all 5000i system component third-wire grounds to this ground;
do not connect any equipment other than 5000i system components to this ground conductor.
This condition is met if all system components are plugged into the { XE "Switched
convenience outlet" \t "See Convenience outlet" }switched convenience outlet{ XE
"Convenience outlet:switched" }{ XE "Electrical outlet, convenience" \t "See convenience
outlet" \i }{ XE "Outlet, convenience" \t "See Convenience outlet" } in the base of the scanner.
1) At some sites, local regulations require that all installed equipment be connected
to a system common ground. In this case, connect all 5000i system components to
the common ground at only one point. Connect third wire grounds of system
components onto a common bus that is connected to the common ground at a
single point.
2) Make sure the equipment third-wire { XE "Ground:Third-wire" \i }ground (green
wire) does not become connected to the conduit at the outlet box or connector. To
avoid an inadvertent connection, use a NEMA 5-20R type isolated-ground
receptacle, such as a
Hubble IG-5362.
Grounding in Multi-Story Buildings{ XE "Grounding:In multistory
building" \i }
When installing the 5000i system in a multi-story building{ XE "Multistory building,
grounding" \t "See Grounding in multistory building" }, provide a low noise ground by
connecting the isolated { XE "Conductor:Isolated/insulated" }ground { XE
"Ground:Conductor" \i }of the system to the structural steel of the building. Install the
isolated ground system as described above. In addition, bond one end of a heavy gauge wire
or copper braid to the isolated ground bus in the branch circuit panel serving the 5000i
system. Weld the other end of this wire or braid to the nearest vertical steel structural
member. Do not substitute a water pipe or an isolated ground rod for the vertical steel
member.
Page 12
5000i Scanner Installation Guide
Ground-To-Neutral Specifications{ XE "Conductor:Specifications,
ground-to-neutral" \t "See" }{ XE "Voltage:Ground-to-neutral" }
With circuit power turned off, the resistance between the circuit neutral conductor{ XE
"Conductor:Neutral" }{ XE "Neutral conductor" \t "See Conductor, neutral" } and the isolated
ground conductor must be less than 2.1 ohms.
With circuit power on and all 5000i system components unplugged, the voltage between the
circuit neutral conductor and the isolated ground conductor must be less than 0.6 VAC.
Chapter 2. Scanner Installation
Page 13
Site Power Wiring Recommendations
The table below describes the conditions{ XE "Scanner installation:Site power wiring
recommendations" } { XE "Power wiring recommendations" }for power wiring at a scanner site.
Condition
Description
Dedicated Feeder
Run a separate dedicated feeder from the building main power panel to
the branch power panel serving the 5000i system. The cabling should be
of sufficient diameter to produce no less than 110V at the outlet when
the 5000i is connected and powered on. This feeder should be a
minimum of 30 amp service to allow for future growth of the system.
Dedicated Isolated/
Insulated Ground
An isolated/dedicated ground is required. Run this ground conductor as
an uninterrupted circuit from the power panel to the 5000i system branch
panel. The gauge of this conductor must be at least as large as that of
the AC circuit conductors in all stages of the circuit.
Panel Branch Circuits
All branch circuits leaving tne 5000i branch power panel should be at
least 10 AWG copper wire. There should be no circuits from this power
panel serving devices that are not part of the 5000i system.
One branch circuit from this power panel should be dedicated at the
scanner (this circuit will also service the computer and monitor), and
there should be at least one additional dedicated circuit for each
additional scanner.
Additional Utility
Provide additional convenience outlets in the vicinity of the 5000i
Convenience Connectors scanner. Connect these outlets (may be used for vacuums, paper
joggers, and other electrical devices) to a branch panel other than the
scanner branch panel to provide maximum noise isolation for the 5000i
system components.
Scanner Electrical
Connections
Dedicate one 15 amp (120 VAC) or 7.5 amp (220 VAC) circuit to each
5000i scanner at the site. All may be served from the same branch
panel, provided its rated capacity is not exceeded.
Electrical Outlets{ XE
"Electrical outlet" \i }
All 120V outlets for the 5000i scanner should be Hubble IG-5362 or
equivalent (NEMA 5-20R). All 240V outlets should be Hubble IG2410A
or equivalent. Outlets for the peripheral equipment should be of the type
and rating specified in the hardware reference manuals for the
equipment.
The quantity of outlets that must be provided for the peripheral
equipment varies according to system configuration. (See Panel Branch
circuits above.) Outlets should be located within 6 feet (2 meters) of the
working location of the equipment.
Page 14
5000i Scanner Installation Guide
Electrical Requirements{ XE "Scanner installation:Electrical
requirements" }
The steady-state line-to-neutral voltage should be maintained within -10% to +5% of the normal
rated voltage. The short term and long term frequency variations must be maintained at less than
±5% of the specified power line frequency, as measured at the input power side of the scanner
when it is powered on. The table below lists the electrical requirements for the power operation
of the 5000i scanner.

After you have verified the power and grounding requirements, perform the "Power Supply
Check-out Procedures."
Power Supply Check-out Procedures{ XE "Scanner
installation:Power supply checkout procedure" }
Perform the following checks with the scanner on but with the transport bed motor off
(unless otherwise directed by the procedure).
The 5000i scanner is equipped with four power { XE "Power supply:Checkout procedures"
}supplies.
They are:
•
•
•
•
914 022 769, +12V 250W Power Supply
914 022 264, +12V 200W Solenoid Boost Power Supply (Unregulated)
914 022 744, +5V Power Supply (LEDs){ XE "Power supply:+5V logic" }
914 022 751, +5V and ±15V Logic Power Supply
The +12V, 250W power supply produces +12.5V { XE "Power supply:12.5V logic" }for the
transport bed solenoids and hopper drive motors. The +12V, 200W, power supply produces
+12V boost voltage to pull the solenoids. The +5V power supply{ XE "Power supply:+5V
logic" } produces +5V for the read head LEDs. The logic power supply produces +5V, +15V
and -15V logic power for the cameras and various scanner PC boards.
The logic power supply and the LED power supply require periodic check-out and
adjustment. In addition, the 12V, 250W power supply needs to be adjusted to 12.5V. If any
voltage is outside the proper range, adjust the outputs as described in the following “Logic
Voltage Checkout Procedures.” If you cannot adjust the output, replace the power supply.
There are no field repair procedures for any of the scanner's power supplies.
