Initialising a PDE deletes all data and executable program information from the PDE so that it can be configured for use with Ideal POS System.

Follow these steps at the PDE to initalise and prepare the PDE to accept the executable program from Ideal POS System.

Initialise PDE;

1. Ensure the PDE is switched off.

2. Press the following keys simultaneously. SF (Shift), M1 (Barcode reading trigger) and 0 (zero).

3. While holding these keys down, press the PW (Power) key. An initialise window will then appear.

4. Select the 'All' option and press Enter.

5. Select 'Yes' for OK.

6. Select the 'English' language option and press Enter. An initializing message will appear, followed by the PDE turning itself off.

The PDE is now cleared and ready to be configured for use with Ideal POS System.


Prepare the PDE to accept the executable program from Ideal POS System.

1. Enter the 'System Menu' by pressing the following keys simultaneously. SF (Shift) and 1 (one).

2. While holding these keys down, press the PW (Power) key.

3. From the 'System Menu', select 'Set System' by pressing 4 and Enter.

4. Enter the 'Communication' window by pressing 5 and Enter.

5. Enter the 'Com Port' window by pressing 3 and Enter.

6. If the connection to the PC is via cable, set both Basic and System Mode settings from Optical to Connector and press Enter.

7. Enter the 'Protocol Type' window by pressing 4 and Enter.

8. BHT Protocol should be selected, followed by pressing Enter.

9. Press Clear (C) until returning to the 'System Menu'.

10. The PDE is now ready to have an executable program sent to it from Ideal POS System.

11. In Ideal POS System, select the Download Program to PDE option from the PDE menu.

12. In IdealPOS go to Setup > PDE

13. Add a PDE

14. Enter a Description for the PDE

15. Select the Model (eg Denso BHT-8000 Series)

16. Select the COM Port the PDE is connected to

17. For the initial Download of the PDE Program, set the baud rate to 115200. Once the PDE program is downloaded change th baud rate back to 19200.

18. Save & Exit

19. Now go to PDE > Download Program to PDE

20. Select the PDE you wish to download to in the grid on the IdealPOS System.

21. At the PDE, select 'Download' from the 'System Menu', and press Enter.

22. Select 'File' from the 'Download' options and press Enter.

Note: The baud rate of the BHT-8000 and Ideal POS System 5.5 PDE setup has to be 19200.

The PDE will now have halted, waiting for information to be sent from Ideal POS System. There is about a 15 seconds wait before the PDE will consider that communication has failed.

Within that 15 seconds, press OK button on the already set up 'Download Program to PDE' window. A communication window should appear on the window, with activity occurring on it signifying that communications are succeeding.

The PDE will beep when the job is completed, a message will appear on the window of the PDE saying that the download is completed and the communication window will have closed.

1. At the PDE, press Clear ('C') until returning to the 'System Menu'.

2. From the 'System Menu', select 'Set System' by pressing 4 and Enter.

3. Enter the 'Execute Program' window by pressing 1 and Enter.

4. The 'Set Execute Program' window should have the IPDE program (e.g A: IPDE3L.PD3) highlighted.

5. Press Enter to select that program.

6. Turn the power off on the PDE, and turn it back on, and a Leda Business Equipment message should appear.

7. Press Clear ('C') and you are ready for the next step. (The main menu should be on the PDE Window, which should have options for Stocktake, Stock Transfer, Stock Received, UPC Import and Upload UPC.)

The BHT-8000 requires the stock/UPC file to be downloaded to it.
