Installation

Quick Installation Outline

The following is a quick preview of the steps required for first time installations. Each item is discussed in detail later in this section.

Determine clearance, ventilation and service access requirements.

Determine checkout counter layout taking into account package flow, cable routing, and power requirements.

Choose the mounting option which provides the best cable/power access and unit stability.

Unpack the unit.

Make the appropriate countertop cutouts and install all support brackets.

Place the unit in the counter.

Install the platter.

Follow the steps under the correct interface to connect the cables and power supply.

Configure the unit for the correct interface.

Calibrate the Diva scale.

Site Requirements

Before installing your MS2420/MS2430 scanner/Diva scale, please consider the following items.

Vertical Clearance

A minimum clearance height of 5.25" from the checkout counter surface is needed for the vertical 'hood' on all of the scanner models.

Ventilation and Spacing

All MS2420 and MS2430 models have a die-cast housing to dissipate heat allowing the unit to operate without a ventilation fan. The temperature surrounding the unit is recommended not to exceed 40°C (104°F). 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 scanner/Diva scale model 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 Installing the Unit in the Counter beginning on page 18 of this guide for detailed cutout dimensions and mounting instructions.

15

Site Requirements

Service Access

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

When changing the StratosSWAP optics engine modules, removing the unit completely from the checkout counter is recommended.

When calibrating or zeroing the scale, do not remove the unit from the checkout counter. Refer to the Scale Operation Section beginning on page 47 of this guide for detailed instructions on zeroing and calibration.

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. See additional information on power installation and restrictions under the Installation: Interface section of this manual.

Note: A switched AC outlet is recommended. The switch should be located on the operator’s side of the checkout counter in close proximity to the MS2420/MS2430 to facilitate calibration and service of the unit.

Checkout Counter Layout Considerations

When placing a scanner in a checkout counter, the following factors should be considered.

Items should flow at a distance to the operator that maximizes comfort. The operator should not need to stretch or strain to reach for and scan packages.

The MS2420 and MS2430 can scan a bar code on five sides of a package. The packages should flow into the scan area that provides the maximum reading performance. No lifting or orientation of the items is necessary. A properly placed item diverter can maximize the flow of packages.

In what direction are the packages flowing? Most checkout counters are designed for left-handed takeaway. If the operator is facing the vertical window of the scanner, packages flow from the operator's right to left. The packages are in queue on the conveyor to the right and the bagging is to the left.

16

Unpacking the Unit

1.Make sure the shipping box is topside up before opening.

2.Remove the accessories box and check the box’s content for the following items.

Product Manuals

Power Supply

Communication Cables

Remote Scale Display (Optional)

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

4.Lift the MS2420/MS2430 scanner out of the box by carefully grasping both sides near the center of the unit and lifting directly up. Refer to Figure 12 for hand placement.

Important! Do not remove the MS2420/MS2430 scanner from the box by grabbing the shipping foam. This can result in the unit falling!

5.Carefully remove the shipping foam from around the MS2420/MS2430 scanner.

17

Unpacking the Unit

MS2420/MS2430 Package Warning

There is a protective film located on the topside platter surface, vertical scan windows outer surface, and the horizontal scan windows top surface. These protective films must be removed prior to performing any scanner operation (see Figure 14).

Both foam wedges securing the scale arms during shipping must be removed or the scale will not function (see Figure 14)!

Figure 14. Protective shipping foam and lining.

Note: Do not discard these instructions and shipping foam wedges! If the unit is going to be reshipped at any time this foam must be reinstalled prevent damage to the scale arms during shipping.

Installing the Unit in the Counter

Before starting to mount the MS2420/MS2430 determine:

the scanner's orientation in reference to the operator and the direction of package flow,

the mounting method that provides the most stability for the scanner, and

if any additional materials or tools are required for installation.

Lifting the Unit by the Finger Recesses

There are two finger recesses located under the removable platter near the base of the vertical window. These finger recesses are provided to assist in installation when placing the unit in the checkout counter cutout (see Figure 15).

To decrease the risk of dropping the unit during installation, rest both thumbs against the vertical window frame for added stability when lifting the unit by the finger recesses. The unit may tilt forward when lifted by the finger recesses if it is not stabilized making installation in

the countertop cutout difficult. Figure 15. Lifting the Unit by the Finger

Recesses

Cable Installation (Interface Specific)

RS232

The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an RS232 application. The scanner/Diva scale must then be configured to match the host’s RS232 parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the scanner will communicate properly with the host system.

Note: Configuration bar codes are located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (PN 00-02407x) and the MS2x20 Stratos Series Scanner/Diva Scale Configuration Addendum (PN 00-02272x).

1.Turn off the host system.

2.Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the RS232 interface cable (PN 57-57210x-N-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled ‘Scanner Host RS232’ on the bottom of the scanner. Refer to the figure on page 23.

3.Connect the other end of the RS232 cable to the proper communication port on the host device.

Stop: Before continuing, verify that the RS232 interface cable is connected to the appropriate interface socket on the scanner. An incorrect cable connection can cause communication problems or potential damage to the scanner and/or terminal.

Steps 4 and 5 are for dual cable interfaces where the scale and the scanner connect to the host with their own separate communication cables. Skip to step 6 for a single cable interface where the scale and scanner connect to the host with a single cable.

4.Plug the dual interface cable (PN 57-57000x-N-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled ‘Scale RS232 to Host’ on the bottom of the scanner.

5.Connect the other end of the dual interface cable (PN 57-57000x-N-3) to the appropriate communication port on the host’s scale device.

6.Plug the optional remote scale display cable (PN 46-00375, 46-00376, or 46-00377) into the 10-pin socket labeled ‘Scale to Display’ on the bottom of the scanner.

7.Plug the external power supply (PN 46-002xx) into the 3-pin Molex socket labeled ‘DC Power In’ on the bottom of the scanner.

Note: Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet. The outlet should be located near the equipment and be easily accessible.

Using a switched AC outlet is recommended. The switch should be located on the operator’s side of the checkout counter in close proximity to the scanner to facilitate calibration and service of the unit.

8. Connect AC power to the transformer. If the AC outlet is equipped with an on/off switch, turn the power on.
