INSTALLATION

UICK INSTALLATION OUTLINE

The following is a quick preview of the steps required for 1 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.

SITE REQUIREMENTS

Before installing your Stratos

Vertical Clearance

A minimum clearance height of 7.50" from the checkout counter surface is needed for the vertical 'hood' on all of the scanner models. Additional clearance is recommended for unobstructed LED viewing by the operator.

Ventilation and Spacing

All StratosE models have a die-cast housing to dissipate heat allowing the unit to operate without a ventilation fan. Metrologic recommends that the temperature surrounding the unit does not 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.

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, Metrologic recommends removing the unit completely from the checkout counter.

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.

Metrologic 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 StratosE to facilitate 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 Stratos 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.

E can scan a bar code on all 6 sides of a package. The packages should flow into the scan area that

INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS

Audible

When in operation the StratosE provides audible feedback that indicates the status of the unit and the current scan. Eight settings are available for the tone of the beep (normal, 6 alternate tones and no tone) plus three volume settings. To change the tone or volume, refer to the Changing the Beeper Tone & Volume section of this manual.

One Beep

When the scanner first receives power the white LED will flash, the blue LED will turn on and the scanner will beep once (the white LED will remain on for the duration of the beep). The scanner is now ready to scan.

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and the scanner beeps once (if configured to do so). If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

Razzberry Tone

This is a failure indicator. Refer to failure modes on page 23.

Three Beeps - during operation

When placing the scanner in configuration mode, the white LED will flash while the scanner simultaneously beeps three times. The white and blue LEDs will continue to flash until the unit exits configuration mode. Upon exiting configuration mode, the scanner will beep three times and the white LED will stop flashing.

When configured, 3 beeps can also indicate a communications timeout during normal scanning mode.

When using one-code-configuring, the scanner will beep three times (the current selected tone), followed by a short pause, a high tone and a low tone. This tells the user that the single configuration bar code has successfully configured the scanner.

Three Beeps - On Power Up

This is a failure indicator. Refer to failure modes on page 23.

Descending Tone

The scanner will emit a descending tone when the microprocessor is about to Flash upgrade.

Ascending Tone

The scanner will emit a descending tone when the interface coprocessor is about to Flash upgrade.

Visual

There is an array of LEDs (white and/or blue) located on the top of the hood of the MS2122. When the scanner is on, the flashing or constant illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner.

No White or Blue LED

The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer. They are also not illuminated when all lasers are turned off for any reason.

Figure 31. LED Bar

SCANNER OPERATION

INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS

Visual

Steady Blue

When all lasers are active, the blue LED is illuminated. The blue LED will remain illuminated until all lasers are deactivated.

Steady Blue and Single White Flash

When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. If the white LED does not flash or the scanner does not beep once, then the bar code has not been successfully read.

Steady White and Blue

After a successful scan, the scanner transmits the data to the host device. Some communication modes require that the host inform the scanner when data is ready to be received. If the host is not ready to accept the information, the scanner’s white LED will remain on until the data can be transmitted.

Flashing Blue then Flashing White

This indicates the scanner is in program mode. A razzberry tone indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned in this mode.

If the unit is in sleep mode, each LED will flash once every 15 seconds.

Steady White, Blue Off

This indicates the scanner may be waiting for communication from the host.

Flashing Blue

This indicates there is an error active on the diagnostic indicator display (see Error Codes on page 24). The scanner may continue to operate depending on the type of error.

Failure Modes

Flashing Blue and One Razzberry Tone

This indicates that the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. The scanner will try up to 3 times to correct the failure condition. If the laser subsystem continues to fail, that subsystem (horizontal or vertical) will be shut down and an error indication will be shown on the Diagnostic Indicator Display. This error stays on the display until corrected. If the remaining subsystem is still operational, scanning will continue using the operational components.

Flashing Blue and White and Two Razzberry Tones

This indicates that the scanner has experienced a motor subsystem failure. The scanner will try up to 3 times to correct the failure condition. If the motor subsystem continues to fail, that subsystem (horizontal or vertical) will be shut down and an error indication will be shown on the Diagnostic Indicator Display. This error stays on the display until corrected. If the remaining subsystem is still operational, scanning will continue using the still operational components.

Continuous Razzberry Tone with Both LEDs Off

If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the scanner has an electronic failure. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center.

Three Beeps - On Power Up

If the scanner beeps 3 times on power up then, the nonvolatile memory that holds the scanner configuration has failed. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center.

SCANNER OPERATION

INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS

Diagnostic Indicator Display

There is a two-digit error code display located under the platter near the bottom right corner of the output window (see figure below).

Figure 32. Diagnostic Indicator Display

The following is a list of possible error codes and their meanings. Some errors will require immediate scanner maintenance.

Error Code

01 Reserved

Description

03 PROGRAM ERROR – The scanner’s software program is failing. Return the unit for repair.

RAM ERROR – The scanner’s Random Access Memory (RAM) is tested as faulty. Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center.

INTERFACE ERROR – After power up and any application exit (e.g. MetroSet, etc.), the scanner checks the interface hardware with that chosen in configuration. If they do not agree, an interface error exists. Correct this problem by getting the proper hardware interface OR by configuring the StratosE for the proper interface hardware attached.

CONFIGURATION ERROR – The non-volatile configuration memory did not agree with the data last saved. Default configuration data is then used and the scanner continues operating. This error is also accompanied by 3 beeps. This error will remain during operation as a reminder that this power cycle is scanning against a defaultgenerated configuration.

COMMUNICATION ERROR - The RS232 data line is being held active. This causes the scanner to read a “break” signal constantly and continuous attempts are made to enter MetroSet configuration mode. A short on the RX Data line can cause this condition. It can also be the result of a laptop in power save mode. The scanner will abort attempts to enter configuration mode after a short timeout. The scanner can automatically recover from this condition once the short in the RX Data line is corrected.

COPROCESSOR COMMUNICATION ERROR – The main microprocessor is not communicating with the interface coprocessor. The interface coprocessor may be in a fault condition with the host or just not able to respond. This error may appear when the scanner is configured for USB or IBM interface applications or during an attempt to update the interface software through the flash utility. The unit should be repaired at an authorized service center.

SWITCH ERROR – The switch used for volume selection or sleep mode is detected in error (always closed).

The condition is self-correcting if possible. If the error persists, return the unit for repair at an authorized service center. The scanning operation can continue with this error active.

SCANNER OPERATION

INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS

Diagnostic Indicator Display

Error Code

LASER #1 (VERTICAL) ERROR – The laser in the vertical scanning subsystem denotes a failure. The scanner

will try three times to correct the laser operation. If the laser error persists, the vertical scanning subsystem will be shut down and this error code will remain on the Diagnostic Indicators.

LASER #2 (RIGHT HORIZONTAL) ERROR – The right laser in the horizontal scanning subsystem denotes a failure. The scanner will try three times to correct the laser operation. If the laser error persists, and the left horizontal laser (#3) is also in error, the horizontal scanning subsystem will be shut down and this error code will remain on the Diagnostic Indicators.

Description

LASER #3 (LEFT HORIZONTAL) ERROR – The left laser in the horizontal scanning subsystem denotes a failure.

The scanner will try three times to correct the laser operation. If the laser error persists, and the right horizontal laser (#2) is also in error, the horizontal scanning subsystem will be shut down and this error code will remain on the Diagnostic Indicators.

MOTOR #1 (VERTICAL) ERROR – The motor in the vertical scanning subsystem denotes a failure. The scanner will try three times to correct the motor operation. If the motor error persists, the vertical scanning subsystem will be shut down and this error code will remain on the Diagnostic Indicators.

MOTOR #2 (HORIZONTAL) ERROR – The motor in the horizontal scanning subsystem denotes a failure. The scanner will try three times to correct the motor operation. If the motor error persists, the horizontal scanning subsystem will be shut down and this error code will remain on the Diagnostic Indicators.

SCANNER OPERATION

POWER SAVE MODES

The MS2122 has five configurable power save modes. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide ( additional information on Power Save Modes.

1. Blink Power Save Mode:

Blinks the laser OFF & ON after a configured period of non-use.

When the scanner recognizes a bar code it will exit the Blink mode.

2. Laser Off Power Save Mode:

Turns the laser OFF after a configured period of non-use. The motor continues to spin allowing for a faster “wake” up time.

Any movement detected by the IR will “wake” the scanner from the Laser Off power save mode (see figure 30 on page 21).

3. Laser & Motor Off Power Save Mode:

Turns the laser and motor OFF after a configured period of non-use.

Any movement detected by the IR will “wake” the scanner from the power save mode (see figure 30 on page 21). This mode’s “wake” time is slightly longer due to the motor’s need to restart.

4. Dual Action Power Save Mode #1:

“Blinks” the laser OFF & ON after a configured period of non-use turns the laser and motor OFF at thirty-minute intervals.

Example:

If the power save timeout is set to 15 minutes.

Any movement detected by the IR will “wake” the scanner from the power save mode (see figure 30 on page 21).

5. Dual Action Power Save Mode #2 (Default):

Turns the laser OFF after a configured period of non-use then turns the motor OFF after thirty-minute intervals.

Example:

If the power save timeout is set to 15 minutes.

Any movement detected by the IR will “wake” the scanner from the power save mode (see figure 30 on page 21).

TROUBLESHOOTING

RS232 DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM

If an RS232 scanner is not communicating with your IBM compatible PC, key in the following BASIC program to test that the communication port and scanner are working. This program is for demonstration purposes only. It is only intended to prove that cabling is correct, the com port is working, and the scanner is working. If the bar code data displays on the screen while using this program, it only demonstrates that the hardware interface and scanner are working. At this point, investigate whether the application software and the scanner configuration match. If the application does not support RS232 scanners, a software wedge program that will take RS232 data and place it into a keyboard buffer may be needed. This program tells the PC to ignore RTS-CTS, Data Set Ready (DSR) and Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signals. If the demonstration program works and yours still does not, jumper RTS to CTS and Data Terminal Reading (DTR) to DCD and DSR on the back of your PC.

Laser

Laser Class 1: IEC 60825-1:1993+A1+A2, EN: 60825-1:1994+A1+A2

Caution Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure. Under no circumstances should the customer attempt to service the laser scanner. Never attempt to look at the laser beam, even if the scanner appears to be nonfunctional. Never open the scanner in an attempt to look into the device. Doing so could result in hazardous laser light exposure. The use of optical instruments with the laser equipment will increase eye hazard.

Atención La modificación de los procedimientos, o la utilización de controles o ajustes distintos de los especificados aquí, pueden provocar una luz de láser peligrosa. Bajo ninguna circunstancia el usuario deberá realizar el mantenimiento del láser del escáner. Ni intentar mirar al haz del láser incluso cuando este no esté operativo. Tampoco deberá abrir el escáner para examinar el aparato. El hacerlo puede conllevar una exposición peligrosa a la luz de láser. El uso de instrumentos ópticos con el equipo láser puede incrementar el riesgo para la vista.

Attention L'emploi de commandes, réglages ou procédés autres que ceux décrits ici peut entraîner de graves irradiations. Le client ne doit en aucun cas essayer d'entretenir lui-même le scanner ou le laser. Ne regardez jamais directement le rayon laser, même si vous croyez que le scanner est inactif. N'ouvrez jamais le scanner pour regarder dans l'appareil. Ce faisant, vous vous exposez à une rayonnement laser qú êst hazardous. L'emploi d'appareils optiques avec cet équipement laser augmente le risque d'endommagement de la vision.

Achtung Die Verwendung anderer als der hier beschriebenen Steuerungen, Einstellungen oder Verfahren kann eine gefährliche Laserstrahlung hervorrufen. Der Kunde sollte unter keinen Umständen versuchen, den Laser-Scanner selbst zu warten. Sehen Sie niemals in den Laserstrahl, selbst wenn Sie glauben, daß der Scanner nicht aktiv ist. Öffnen Sie niemals den Scanner, um in das Gerät hineinzusehen. Wenn Sie dies tun, können Sie sich einer gefährlichen Laserstrahlung aussetzen. Der Einsatz optischer Geräte mit dieser Laserausrüstung erhöht das Risiko einer Sehschädigung.

Attenzione L’utilizzo di sistemi di controllo, di regolazioni o di procedimenti diversi da quelli descritti nel presente Manuale può provocare delle esposizioni a raggi laser rischiose. Il cliente non deve assolutamente tentare di riparare egli stesso lo scanner laser. Non guardate mai il raggio laser, anche se credete che lo scanner non sia attivo. Non aprite mai lo scanner per guardare dentro l’apparecchio. Facendolo potete esporVi ad una esposizione laser rischiosa. L’uso di apparecchi ottici, equipaggiati con raggi laser, aumenta il rischio di danni alla vista.
