Getting Started

Honeywell’s Stratos™ bioptic scanner/scale incorporates a revolutionary hybrid platform that enables retailers to maximize cus­tomer throughput for rapid pass-through scanning of linear bar codes, plus area imaging technology for scanning of 2D and
mobile bar codes. The Stratos bioptic enhances the checkout scanning experience for traditional checkout lanes and self-check­out environments.

About This Manual

This User’s Guide provides installation and programming instructions for the Stratos bioptic. Product specifications, dimen­sions, warranty, and customer support information are also included.

Honeywell bar code scanners are factory programmed for the most common terminal and communications settings. If you need
to change these settings, programming is accomplished by scanning the bar codes in this guide.

An asterisk (*) next to an option indicates the default setting. See Serial Programming Commands beginning on page 13-1 for a
complete listing of the serial commands for programming bar codes.

Note: The Stratos bioptic is programmed via the vertical window only. The horizontal window intentionally does not read

programming bar codes as a means of preventing accidental scans.

Printing Single Bar Codes

If you wish to print single-page bar codes for any programming selection, hover your cursor over the bar code, and left click. A
document with that bar code on a single page is displayed. Click the Print button to print that page.

The bar code document contains all the programming bar codes from this manual. You can scroll through the pdf to locate any
other codes in which you are interested.

Dimensions

Site Requirements

Vertical Clearance

A minimum clearance height of 7 inches (17.78cm) from the checkout counter surface is needed for the vertical hood. For
further information, refer to Installation Diagrams beginning on page 2-1.

Ventilation and Spacing

The Stratos bioptic has a die-cast housing that dissipates heat, allowing the unit to operate without a ventilation fan. Hon­eywell recommends that the temperature surrounding the unit does not exceed 104°F (40°C). There should be adequate
convection and minimal heat producing equipment in close proximity of the unit. A cooling fan with a filter is recommended
if there will be a conveyor motor or other heat producing equipment close to the unit that will create a high temperature envi­ronment.

Adequate spacing between the unit and the checkout counter opening is required for proper operation of the scale. When
the Stratos bioptic is mounted properly, the scale platter should be able to move up and down freely without hitting the
edges of the checkout counter cutout. Refer to Installation beginning on page 2-1 for detailed cutout dimensions and
mounting instructions.

Lighting

The Stratos bioptic should not be pointed toward any strong light sources that would create glare on the vertical window.

Service Access

When routing and installing the cable(s) and power supply, make sure to leave access so that these components may be
swapped easily without the need to remove the unit from the checkout counter.

When calibrating or zeroing the scale, do not remove the unit from the checkout counter. Refer to Scale beginning on page
6-1 for detailed instructions on zeroing and calibration.

1 - 1

Power Installation

The Power Supply (AC/DC) should be connected to an AC outlet that is free of electrical noise (clean). A qualified electri­cian can determine the amount of electrical noise on the AC line. All power supplies must be properly grounded.

Honeywell recommends using a switched AC outlet. The switch should be located on the operator's side of the checkout
counter in close proximity to the Stratos bioptic to facilitate calibration and service of the unit.

Note: The power supply should never be disconnected from the Stratos bioptic without first disconnecting the AC power.

EAS Considerations

Do not install any large iron fixtures, such as steel support poles, near the Stratos bioptic. Doing so may re-shape the EAS
tag deactivation field. See EAS Settings beginning on page 10-1 for complete EAS information.

Power from Host

The Stratos 2700 can be powered from a USB PlusPower host or other host system that can supply at least 12 Volts at

1.5Amps using special cables. (This is the typical voltage and current available on a Green USB Plus Power connector).
It may also be possible to connect and power an auxiliary scanner, a BOB camera, or other peripheral. Please consult with

a Honeywell representative to review plans to power these or other auxiliary devices when the unit will be powered from the
host. See USB Host Power on page 3-5 for power conservation settings.

Unpacking Your Device

After you open the shipping carton containing the product, take the following steps:

• Check for damage during shipment. Report damage immediately to the carrier who delivered the carton.

• Make sure the items in the carton match your order.
Save the shipping container for later storage or shipping.

1. Make sure the shipping box is top-side up before opening.

2. Carefully remove the platter and store it in a safe location until the unit is properly
installed into the checkout counter.

3. Remove all loose packing materials from the box.

4. Lift the Stratos bioptic out of the box by grasping each end of the unit and lifting directly
up.

Note: Do not remove the scanner from the box by grabbing the shipping foam. This can

result in the unit falling.

5. Remove the shipping foam from around the scanner.

Note: Retain all packing materials in the event you need to re-pack the unit.

6. Remove the protective film from the top side platter surface, vertical scan window, and horizontal scan window.

Configuring the 2700

If the unit has not already been pre-configured with the proper POS interface and selectable options, program the configuration
now. You may do so using EZConfig-Scanning (see EZConfig-Scanning Introduction on page 12-2), or by scanning the pro­gramming bar codes in this manual.

Place the Platter

!

Place the platter in position over the horizontal window.

WARNING: Do not attempt to adjust the screws that support the platter. Any attempt to do so may throw
the scale out of calibration.

Adjust the Height

Make sure the platter is at the correct height and completely level. The front edge of the platter should be flush with the
check stand. To adjust the height, turn the leveling screws. If the model 2753 is installed, adjust the 4 leveling screws in the
check stand until the platter is at the correct height.

2 - 11

Remove the platter and make sure the scanner is level both with and without the platter installed. For installations that do

Ideal Good Not Level
(if not rocking) (if not rocking)

not have hanging ledges, adjust the leveling feet at the bottom 4 corners of the scanner until the platter is at the correct
height.

Check the platter height by sliding an item across the check stand and the platter. If you feel it bump over the leading or
trailing edge, adjust the leveling screws until it passes over the platter smoothly. The center of the platter should be slightly
higher than the counter so that when an item is placed on the scale, the item’s edges do not rest on the counter.

Leveling

Press your hands on each corner of the platter and gently rock the opposite corners. If the platter rocks on any corner,
adjust the leveling screws. Check the bubble level beneath the platter. It should indicate when the 2700 is level.

Programming the Bioptic Scanner Interface

Introduction

This chapter describes how to program the Stratos bioptic scanner for the desired interface. To program the scale interface,
refer to Programming the Scale Interface, beginning on page 6-1.

Printing Single Bar Codes

If you wish to print single-page bar codes for any programming selection, hover your cursor over the bar code, and left click. A
document with that bar code on a single page is displayed. Click the Print button to print that page.

The bar code document contains all the programming bar codes from this manual. You can scroll through the pdf to locate any
other codes in which you are interested.

Menu Bar Code Security Settings

Honeywell scanners are programmed by scanning menu bar codes or by sending serial commands to the scanner. If you want
to restrict the ability to scan menu codes, you can use the Menu Bar Code Security settings. Contact the nearest technical sup­port office (see Technical Assistance on page 16-1) for further information.

Setting Custom Defaults

You have the ability to create a set of menu commands as your own, custom defaults. To do so, scan the Set Custom Defaults
bar code below before scanning the menu commands for your custom defaults. If a menu command requires scanning numeric
codes from the back cover, then a Save code, that entire sequence will be saved to your custom defaults. When you have

entered all the commands you want to save for your custom defaults, scan the Save Custom Defaults bar code.

You may have a series of custom settings and want to correct a single setting. To do so, just scan the new setting to overwrite
the old one. For example, if you had previously saved the setting for Beeper Volume at Low to your custom defaults, and decide
you want the beeper volume set to High, just scan the Set Custom Defaults bar code, then scan the Beeper Volume High
menu code, and then Save Custom Defaults. The rest of the custom defaults will remain, but the beeper volume setting will be
updated.

3 - 1

Resetting the Custom Defaults

Activate Custom Defaults

RS232 Interface

If you want the custom default settings restored to your scanner, scan the Activate Custom Defaults bar code below. This is
the recommended default bar code for most users. It resets the scanner to the custom default settings. If there are no custom
defaults, it will reset the scanner to the factory default settings. Any settings that have not been specified through the custom
defaults will be defaulted to the factory default settings.

Programming the Scanner Interface - Plug and Play

Plug and Play bar codes provide instant scanner set up for commonly used interfaces. They are also used to program the scan­ner portion when using a dual cable interface.

Note: After you scan one of the codes, power cycle the scanner to have the interface in effect.

For scale and scanner/scale interfaces, refer to Programming the Scale Interface on page 6-1. For EAS Interfaces, refer to

Programming the EAS Interface on page 10-3.

RS232 Serial Port Interface

The RS232 Interface bar code is used when connecting to the serial port of a PC or terminal. The following RS232 Interface
bar code programs a carriage return (CR) and a line feed (LF) suffix, baud rate, and data format as indicated below.

Option Setting

Baud Rate 9,600 bps
Data Format 8 data bits, no parity bit, 1 stop bit

RS232 OPOS Scanner Only - Dual Cable

Scan the following bar codes to configure the Stratos bioptic as a scanner only, using the OPOS drivers in dual cable mode.
In a dual cable environment, the scanner and scale work independently. In this mode, the host must have a dedicated
RS232 port to receive the scale data and the bar code data is sent via its own cable to a separate communication port. The

bar codes below program the following baud rates and data formats:

* Regular

Caps Lock

Keyboard Style

This programs keyboard styles, such as Caps Lock and Shift Lock. If you have used Keyboard Conversion settings, they will
override any of the following Keyboard Style settings. Default = Regular.

Regular is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key off.

Caps Lock is used when you normally have the Caps Lock key on.

3 - 20

Shift Lock is used when you normally have the Shift Lock key on (not common to U.S. keyboards).

Shift Lock

Automatic Caps Lock

Autocaps via NumLock

Emulate External Keyboard

* Keyboard Conversion Off

Automatic Caps Lock is used if you change the Caps Lock key on and off. The software tracks and reflects if you have Caps

Lock on or off. This selection can only be used with systems that have an LED that notes the Caps Lock status (AT keyboards).

Autocaps via NumLock bar code should be scanned in countries (e.g., Germany, France) where the Caps Lock key cannot be
used to toggle Caps Lock. The NumLock option works similarly to the regular Autocaps, but uses the NumLock key to retrieve
the current state of the Caps Lock.

Emulate External Keyboard should be scanned if you do not have an external keyboard (IBM AT or equivalent).

Note: After scanning the Emulate External Keyboard bar code, you must power cycle your computer.

Keyboard Conversion

Alphabetic keyboard characters can be forced to be all upper case or all lowercase. So if you have the following bar code:
“abc569GK,” you can make the output “ABC569GK” by scanning Convert All Characters to Upper Case, or to “abc569gk” by
scanning Convert All Characters to Lower Case.

These settings override Keyboard Style selections.

Note: If your interface is a keyboard wedge, first scan the menu code for Automatic Caps Lock (page 3-21). Otherwise, your

output may not be as expected.

Default = Keyboard Conversion Off.

RS232 Receiver Timeout

* RTS/CTS Off

The unit stays awake to receive data until the RS232 Receiver Timeout expires. A bar code read resets the timeout. When an
RS232 receiver is sleeping, a character may be sent to wake up the receiver and reset the timeout. A transaction on the CTS
line will also wake up the receiver. The receiver takes 300 milliseconds to completely come up. Change the RS232 receiver
timeout by scanning the bar code below, then scanning digits from the inside back cover of this manual, then scanning Save.
The range is 0 to 65535 ms. Default = 0 ms (no timeout - always on).

RS232 Handshaking

RS232 Handshaking allows control of data transmission from the scanner using software commands from the host device.

RTS/CTS Off: RTS/CTS is turned off so no data flow control is used, but RTS is still active.
RTS/CTS Off, RTS Inactive: RTS/CTS is turned off so no data flow control is used and RTS is inactive.

Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send, and will wait indefinitely for CTS to be

asserted by the host.
Character-Based Flow Control, No Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has a character to send, and will wait indefi-

nitely for CTS to be asserted by the host
Two-Direction Flow Control: The scanner asserts RTS when it is OK for the host to transmit. The host asserts CTS when it is

OK for the device to transmit.
Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has data to send and waits for a delay (see RS232 Timeout on

page 3-29) for CTS to be asserted by the host. If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, the device transmit buffer is
cleared and scanning may resume.

Character-Based Flow Control with Timeout: The scanner asserts RTS when it has a character to send and waits for a delay
(see RS232 Timeout, page 3-29) for CTS to be asserted by the host. If the delay time expires and CTS is not asserted, the
device transmit buffer is cleared and scanning may resume.

CTS-Based Flow Control, No Timeout: When the host asserts CTS, scanning is enabled. When CTS is not asserted, scan­ning is disabled.

RTS On: RTS only is on during transmission. CTS is ignored.

Host Communications Timeout Beeper

If you wish to hear a razz tone or a beep when a communications timeout is reached, scan one of the following bar codes.

Default = Timeout Beeper Off.

XON/XOFF

Standard ASCII control characters can be used to tell the scanner to start sending data (XON/XOFF On) or to stop sending
data (XON/XOFF Off). When the host sends the XOFF character (DC3, hex 13) to the scanner, data transmission stops.
To resume transmission, the host sends the XON character (DC1, hex 11). Data transmission continues where it left off

when XOFF was sent. Default = XON/XOFF Off.

ACK/NAK

ACK/NAK On

* ACK/NAK Off

Host NAK Retries

Host Timeout Retries

After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a NAK character (hex 15) response from the
host. If ACK is received, the communications cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more bar codes. If NAK is
received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again. Turn on the ACK/NAK
protocol by scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below. To turn off the protocol, scan ACK/NAK Off. Default = ACK/NAK

Off.

Host NAK Retries in ACK/NAK Mode

When in ACK/NAK mode, you may set the number of times a NAK is received before terminating the operation. Scan
the bar code below, then scan the number of retries (from 1-255) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then
scanning Save. Default = 0.

When Wake Activation Off is selected, the Sound button can be used to wake the scanner. When Wake Activation On is
selected, the scanner will wake when it senses activity, such as a cashier walking into the space where the scanner is
located. Default = Wake Activation On.

Wake Activation Sensitivity

This allows you to set the sensitivity of the scanner when Wake Activation is being used. The sensor can be pro­grammed to be more sensitive by selecting Far Distance, or less sensitive by selecting Close Distance. These indi-
cate that moving near the scanner from a far distance would wake it, or only by moving close to it would it wake.
Default = Far Distance.

Power Save Mode

Power Save Mode allows you to automatically set the conditions under which the scanner idles, sleeps, and wakes up.
When Off is selected, no power saving is used and the scanner remains powered on until the Sound button is pressed (see

Beep on EAS Deactivation

After a good read, the beeper will beep quickly (chirp) upon EAS deactivation when Beep on EAS Deactivation is set to
On. If you do not want a chirp on EAS deactivation, scan Beep on EAS Deactivation Off. Default = Off.

Error Indicators

Beeper Pitch – Error

The beeper pitch codes modify the pitch (frequency) of the sound the scanner emits when there is a bad read or error.

Default = Razz.

Number of Beeps/LED Flashes – Error

The number of beeps and LED flashes emitted by the scanner for a bad read or error can be programmed from 1 - 9. For
example, if you program this option to have five error beeps, there will be five error beeps and five LED flashes in response
to an error. To change the number of error beeps, scan the bar code below and then scan a digit (1-9) bar code and the

When the scanner is disabled by the POS system, the LEDs can be set to flash by scanning LED Flash On. If you do not
want the LEDs to flash, scan LED Flash Off. Default = LED Flash On.

Bar Code Scanning Delays

Reread Delay

This sets the time period before the Stratos bioptic scanner can read the same bar code a second time. Setting a reread
delay protects against accidental rereads of the same bar code. Longer delays are effective in minimizing accidental
rereads. Use shorter delays in applications where repetitive bar code scanning is required. These settings apply to both

1D and 2D bar codes unless the 2D Reread Delay (page 4-13) is set. Default = Short.

If you want to set your own length for the reread delay, scan the bar code below, then set the delay (from 0-30,000 millisec­onds) by scanning digits from the inside back cover, then scanning Save.

2D Reread Delay

Sometimes 2D bar codes can take longer to read than other bar codes. If you wish to set a separate Reread Delay for 2D
bar codes, scan one of the programming codes that follows. 2D Reread Delay Off indicates that the time set for Reread

Delay is used for both 1D and 2D bar codes. Default = 2D Reread Delay Off.

When Same Symbol Test On is scanned, the current bar code must be 1 character different from the previous bar code in
order to be read. When Same Symbol Test Off is scanned, the bar codes must be 25% different to be read. Default =

Same Symbol Test Off.

Bar Code Absence Detection

Use this selection to set a timeout (in milliseconds) before the scanner can read a bar code after any other code is read.
The timer starts after the first bar code has left the field of view. Scan Bar Code Absence Detection, set the timeout dura­tion (from 0-300,000 milliseconds) by scanning digits on the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual, then

You may use a character sent from the host to trigger the scanner to begin scanning. When the activation character is received,
the scanner continues scanning until either the Character Activation Laser Timeout (page 4-16), the deactivation character is
received (see Deactivation Character on page 4-16), or a bar code is transmitted. Scan the following On bar code to use char-
acter activation, then use Activation Character (following) to select the character you will send from the host to start scanning.

Default = Off.

Activation Character

This sets the character used to trigger scanning when using Character Activation Mode. On the ASCII Conversion Chart

(Code Page 1252), page A-3, find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to trigger scanning. Scan

the following bar code, then use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents that ASCII
character. Scan Save to finish.

End Character Activation After Good Read

After a bar code is successfully detected and read from the scanner, the laser can be programmed either to remain on and
scanning, or to turn off. When End Character Activation After Good Read is enabled, the laser turns off and stops scan­ning after a good read. If you scan Do Not End Character Activation After Good Read, the laser remains on after a good
read. Default = End Character Activation After Good Read.

scanning Save. Default = 5000 ms.

Character Deactivation Mode

If you have sent a character from the host to trigger the scanner to begin scanning, you can also send a deactivation character
to stop scanning. Scan the following On bar code to use character deactivation, then use Deactivation Character (following) to
select the character you will send from the host to terminate scanning. Default = Off.

Deactivation Character

This sets the character used to terminate scanning when using Character Deactivation Mode. On the ASCII Conversion

Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-3, find the hex value that represents the character you want to use to terminate scanning.

Scan the following bar code, then use the Programming Chart inside the back cover of this manual to read the alphanu­meric combination that represents that ASCII character. Scan Save to finish.

Output Sequence Overview

Require Output Sequence

When turned off, the bar code data will be output to the host as the scanner decodes it. When turned on, all output data
must conform to an edited sequence or the scanner will not transmit the output data to the host device.

4 - 16

Output Sequence Editor

A - Code 39

B - Code 128

C - Code 93

This programming selection allows you to program the scanner to output data (when scanning more than one symbol) in
whatever order your application requires, regardless of the order in which the bar codes are scanned. Reading the Default
Sequence symbol programs the scanner to the Universal values, shown below. These are the defaults. Be certain you
want to delete or clear all formats before you read the Default Sequence symbol.

Note: To make Output Sequence Editor selections, you’ll need to know the code I.D., code length, and character match(es)

your application requires. Use the Alphanumeric symbols (inside back cover) to read these options. You must hold
the trigger while reading each bar code in the sequence.

To Add an Output Sequence

1. Scan the Enter Sequence symbol (see Require Output Sequence, page 4-19).

2. Code I.D.
On the Symbology Charts on page A-1, find the symbology to which you want to apply the output sequence format.
Locate the Hex value for that symbology and scan the 2 digit hex value from the Programming Chart (inside back
cover).

3. Length
Specify what length (up to 9999 characters) of data output will be acceptable for this symbology. Scan the four digit
data length from the Programming Chart. (Note: 50 characters is entered as 0050. 9999 is a universal number,
indicating all lengths.) When calculating the length, you must count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or formatted
characters as part of the length (unless using 9999).

4. Character Match Sequences
On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-3, find the Hex value that represents the character(s) you
want to match. Use the Programming Chart to read the alphanumeric combination that represents the ASCII
characters. (99 is the Universal number, indicating all characters.)

5. End Output Sequence Editor
Scan F F to enter an Output Sequence for an additional symbology, or Save to save your entries.

This exits without saving any Output Sequence changes.

Output Sequence Example

In this example, you are scanning Code 93, Code 128, and Code 39 bar codes, but you want the scanner to output Code 39
1st, Code 128 2nd, and Code 93 3rd, as shown below.

Note: Code 93 must be enabled to use this example.

You would set up the sequence editor with the following command line:
SEQBLK62999941FF6A999942FF69999943FF
The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
SEQBLKsequence editor start command
62 code identifier for Code 39
9999 code length that must match for Code 39, 9999 = all lengths

FF termination string for second code
69 code identifier for Code 93
9999 code length that must match for Code 93, 9999 = all lengths
43 start character match for Code 93, 43h = “C”
FF termination string for third code
To program the previous example using specific lengths, you would have to count any programmed prefixes, suffixes, or for-

matted characters as part of the length. If you use the example on page 4-17, but assume a <CR> suffix and specific code
lengths, you would use the following command line:

SEQBLK62001241FF6A001342FF69001243FF

The breakdown of the command line is shown below:
SEQBLKsequence editor start command
62 code identifier for Code 39
0012 A - Code 39 sample length (11) plus CR suffix (1) = 12
41 start character match for Code 39, 41h = “A”
FF termination string for first code
6A code identifier for Code 128
0013 B - Code 128 sample length (12) plus CR suffix (1) = 13
42 start character match for Code 128, 42h = “B”
FF termination string for second code
69 code identifier for Code 93
0012 C - Code 93 sample length (11) plus CR suffix (1) = 12
43 start character match for Code 93, 43h = “C”

Sequence Match Beeper

By default, the scanner beeps when a sequence match is found. If you want the scanner to remain silent, scan the follow­ing Sequence Match Beeper Off bar code. Default = Sequence Match Beeper On.

Partial Sequence

If an output sequence operation is terminated before all your output sequence criteria are met, the bar code data acquired
to that point is a “partial sequence.”

Scan Discard Partial Sequence to discard partial sequences when the output sequence operation is terminated before
completion. Scan Transmit Partial Sequence to transmit partial sequences. (Any fields in the sequence where no data

match occurred will be skipped in the output.)

If you have programmed a Sequence Timeout (page 4-18) and the timeout

Default = Discard Partial Sequence.

Require Output Sequence

When an output sequence is Required, all output data must conform to an edited sequence or the scanner will not transmit
the output data to the host device. When it’s On/Not Required, the scanner will attempt to get the output data to conform
to an edited sequence but, if it cannot, the scanner transmits all output data to the host device as is.

4 - 19

When the output sequence is Off, the bar code data is output to the host as the scanner decodes it. Default = Off.

No Read

With No Read turned On, the scanner notifies you if a code cannot be read. If using an EZConfig-Scanning Tool Scan Data
Window (see page 12-2), an “NR” appears when a code cannot be read. If No Read is turned Off, the “NR” will not appear.

Default = Off.

If you want a different notation than “NR,” for example, “Error,” or “Bad Code,” you can edit the output message (see Data

Programming an Auxiliary Scanner

Introduction

This chapter describes how to program auxiliary scanners that will be connected to the Stratos bioptic.

Scanner to Bioptic Communication

The following settings are used to set up communication between Honeywell scanners and bioptic scanners.

Note: The scanner’s baud rate must be set to 38400 and the RS232 Timeout must be set to 3000 in order to communicate with

a bioptic scanner. See "RS232 Baud Rate" on page 3-24, and RS232 Timeout on page 3-29 for further information.

Scanner-Bioptic Packet Mode

Packet Mode On must be scanned to set the scanner’s format so it is compatible with a bioptic scanner. Default = Packet
Mode Off.

ACK/NAK

After transmitting data, the scanner waits for an ACK character (hex 06) or a NAK character (hex 15) response from the
host. If ACK is received, the communications cycle is completed and the scanner looks for more bar codes. If NAK is
received, the last set of bar code data is retransmitted and the scanner waits for ACK/NAK again. Turn on the ACK/NAK
protocol by scanning the ACK/NAK On bar code below. To turn off the protocol, scan ACK/NAK Off. Default = ACK/NAK
Off.

Communication Timeout

This allows you to set the length (in milliseconds) for a timeout for the host ACK/NAK response. Scan the bar code below,
then set the timeout (from 1-65535 milliseconds) by scanning digits from the Programming Chart, then scanning Save.

Default = 2000 ms.

Scale Calibration

Herbert

Dibal

Digi Teraoka

Avery FX100

The scale must be calibrated if:

• It is a first time installation

• The scale cannot be re-zeroed

• The calibration verification tests indicate errors

• There is a change in the units of measure (i.e., from pounds to kilograms)

• The scale load cell has been replaced

• The calibration seal is missing or torn

Tools Required

• Field standard 30 lb. or 15 kg weight set

• Single line or other pole display with cable (for dual cable and pole display-based installation)

• #1 Phillips head driver to remove plastic wire seal retainer cover

• Diagonal wire cutters to remove any existing wire seals

• 7mm or 9/32 hex head driver to remove metal access plate

• Thin rod (e.g., small screwdriver, hex key or paper clip) for activating the protected calibration switch

• Wire or paper seal (the type of seal depends on the guidelines specified by the local Weights and Measures authorities)

Priming the Scale for Calibration

Calibrate the scale after the unit is installed in the checkout countertop. It is important to use the correct certified (pounds
or kilograms) field weight set when calibrating the scale.

1. Make sure that the unit is properly installed at the correct height and properly leveled before calibrating.

2. Ensure that the unit is solidly supported on all four corners without any rocking motion when pressing opposite corners
of the scale.

3. Check the platter to ensure that nothing is interfering with its freedom to move. Assure that no debris is present from
daily use of the scanner/scale if it has been in service. Make sure the platter seats normally on the scale arms.

4. Apply power to the scanner/scale.
