Physical Parameters

This section provides specifications for performance, environmental and electrical parameters. Reference the second section of this manual, Site Preparation and Installation, for physical measurements of all models and some accessories.

Scanning

The scanner has a scan zone between the two windows where the scanner projects laser light in order to scan items. Two separate projections, one from the horizontal window and one from the vertical window, combine to form a zone where bar code labels are read. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance section of this manual for more details about the topic: Scanning Items.

Weighing

Specifications for scale capacity, settling time, minimum and maximum static weight, zeroing, and warm-up time are given below. For more information regarding the topic: Proper Weighing Technique, refer to the Operation and Maintenance section of this manual.

Rated Weight Capacity

The scale’s operational weight capacity is:

30.00 pounds, displayed in 0.01 increments OR

15.000 kilograms1, displayed in 0.005 increments.

Minimum Increment

The minimum weight that can be accurately measured by the scale is 0.02 lb. (0.005 kg).

Maximum Static Weight (Overload)

A maximum static weight of 150 pounds (68 kg) can be sustained by the scale without incurring damage or degrading performance.

1. The scale can also be set for 9.99 kg max.

1-6

Magellan® 8500 Scanner

Automatic Zero Maintenance

The scale’s software constantly monitors and adjusts the Zero point as long as the deviation is within acceptable limits1, while compensating for any debris accumulation or removal. During power-up, the scale automatically re-zeros after verifying that all subsystems are functional. Additionally, the scale may be manually “zeroed” by pushing the Scale Zero Push Button located on the top of the vertical enclosure.

Warm-Up Time

There are two pertinent warm-up times that apply to the scanner or scan- ning-scale:

The two warm-up periods can be performed concurrently, thereby reducing the total required warm-up time to 60 minutes.

NOTE

Thermal Equilibrium

When the unit is moved from a cooler temperature (such as a storage area) to a warmer environment (such as a checkstand location), 60 minutes must be allowed to acclimate the unit to ambient conditions prior to calibration or operation.

Power-up

Once installed and powered up, a warm-up time of 15 minutes must be allowed before calibrating or performing weighing operations.

User Configurable Warm-up

The user may configure the unit for a pre-programmed warm-up time that is activated every time the scanner is powered up. During this time, the scale is viewed by the POS terminal as off-line.

1.Acceptable limitis of deviation are set at -0.2 to +0.6 pounds (-0.078kg to 0.23kg), which is -0.67 to +2.0% of total capacity.

Electrical Specifications

Before installation, always verify that the site’s electrical service meets the scanning-scale’s requirements. The scanner has been engineered for compatibility with most international electrical systems operating in ranges from 100 to 240VAC at 50-60 Hz. Verify that the power source will supply “clean” electrical power to the equipment; that is, it must be free of excess electrical noise.

Check the IEC power cord shipped with the scanning-scale. If the cord will not plug into your AC power receptacle, the power cord shipped is not compatible with your electrical system. Please contact your distributor immediately to receive the necessary information and components to ensure electrical compatibility.

Power Supply

The scanner utilizes a single power supply for all models. Unique installation and international connections are accomplished through selection of the proper IEC power cord

Laser and Product Safety

Laser safety requirements are based on IEC Standard Publication 60825-1 (2001) and CDRH 21CFR, Chapter 1, Subchapter J and (CDRH) Laser Product Performance Standard, User information [1040.10(h)1]:

• User Maintenance. No user maintenance of the system other than cleaning of the scan windows is required.

• Radiant Energy. The scanner is an IEC Class 1 and CDRH IIa laser product. The system uses two embedded Class 3B Visible Laser Diodes (VLDs) operating at 650.0 or 670.0 nm, in an opto-mechanical scanner, resulting in less than 3.9µW radiated power as observed through a 7mm aperture and averaged over 10 seconds. Maximum emitted peak output power at the lower window is 850µW. No attempt should be made by the user to remove the protective housing of the scanning-scale.

• Laser Light Viewing. The horizontal and vertical scan windows are the only apertures through which laser light may be observed in this product.

Exposure to the light emitted from the scan windows has been shown not to be harmful. The safety record of bar code scanning is perfect after millions of hours of use worldwide. This safe and efficient use of laser technology has gained wide acceptance in industries throughout the world.

Operators and installers of the unit should observe the following cautions and warnings:

 

 

Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those

 

 

 

 

specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.

 

 

The use of optical instruments with the scanner will increase eye hazard. (Opti-

 

 

cal instruments include binoculars, microscopes, telescopes and magnifying

 

 

glasses. This does not include eyeglasses worn by the user).

 

CAUTION

To prevent exposure to laser light, do not remove the protective housing of the

 

 

scanner. There are no user-serviceable parts inside your scanner or scanning-

 

 

scale.

 

 

 

1-10

Magellan® 8500 Scanner

Safety precautions to be taken:

No adjustments or alteration of the scanner or scanning-scale housing are to be attempted by the user.

The failure of the facet wheel motor while the unit is continuing to emit a laser beam causes the emission levels to exceed those for inherently safe operation. The unit has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationary

 

 

CAUTION

laser beam is ever emitted, the failing unit should be disconnected from its

 

 

 

 

 

 

power supply until repaired by a qualified technician.

Section 2

Site Preparation and Installation

This section provides a reference for preparing most checkstands to receive the scanner or scanning-scale. Included are physical parameters and instructions for checkstand preparation, power and ventilation considerations, cable routing information and unit installation.

Site Preparation lists all procedures necessary to prepare the checkstand. The instructions that follow, titled Checkstand Preparation, detail steps for the three models that are available (shown in Figure 2-1 below) to facilitate easy installation into almost any checkstand application around the world:

Model 8500 — Short Scanner

Model 8501 — Long Scanner

Model 8502 — Long Scanning-Scale

Some models are designed to fit with little or no modification into openings cut for previously installed scanners such as other Magellan® scanners, or NCR® scanner models 7820/24 and 7870. Other models are designed for applications with smaller footprint requirements.

Once the procedures in this section are complete, the scanner is ready for operation; with the exception that if a scanning-scale was installed, calibration will be required before placing the unit into operation. You must consult the local weights and measures authority to ensure that all legal requirements are met concerning calibration and certification. Section 5, Calibration, contains detailed procedures for calibrating the scale in either pounds or kilograms.

Pre-Installation Considerations

It should be noted that the scope of this manual does not encompass all factors related to worker safety and checkstand design. It does, however, offer a list of considerations that may be helpful in ensuring greater safety and productivity. Careful planning using these general guidelines should result in a more efficient, comfortable work environment.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the incidence of repetitive motion injuries has increased dramatically in recent years. Checkstand design and scanner installation and operation procedures can reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries, but not eliminate it.

Although there are currently no formal guidelines for checkstand ergonomics, the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) and the National Institute of Occupational Safety (NIOSH) of the Department of Health and Human Services have released the reports listed at the end of these recommendations. These reports contain useful suggestions for ergonomic improvement of checkstand designs and scanner installation, maintenance and usage. Portions of the reports are summarized below. For copies of the complete reports, or to inquire about any modifications to the recommendations, contact FMI and NIOSH at the addresses listed at the end of these recommendations.
