INSTALLATION
Q
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

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING THE UNIT
1. Make sure the shipping box is top-side up before opening.
2. Remove the accessories box and check its content for the
following items.
• Product Manuals
• Power Supply
• Communication Cable(s)
3. Lift the scanner out of the shipping box by gripping the
bottom of the unit on both sides.
Important! Do not lift the unit out of the box by gripping
the sides of the platter.
4. Carefully remove the shipping foam around the unit.
Important! Do not turn the unit upside down or tilt the
unit onto its side while removing the shipping
foam. The platter is not attached to the unit
and can fall off!
5. Lift the platter off the unit and store it in a safe location
until the unit has been installed in the checkout counter.

INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE UNIT IN THE COUNTER
There are two options for mounting your MS2122 scanner. Option A, is a two-point mounting system that supports the unit at
the front and back. Option B, is a three-point mounting system that supports the unit at the back and on the sides.
Before starting to mount the MS2122 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.
• If any additional materials or tools are required for installation.

INSTALLATION
INTERFACE
RS232
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an RS232 StratosE application. The scanner must
then be configured to match the host’s RS232 parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the StratosE
will communicate properly with the host system.
Configuration bar codes are located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (
Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (MLPN 00-02034x).
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the RS232 interface cable (MLPN 57-57200x-N-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled
Scanner RS232 to Host, on the bottom of the StratosE. Refer to figure shown below.
3. Connect the other end of the RS232 interface cable to the proper communication port on the host device.
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.
4. Plug the external power supply into the 3-pin Molex socket labeled, DC Power In on the bottom of the StratosE.
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.
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.
5. Connect AC power to the transformer. If the AC outlet is equipped with an on/off switch, turn the power on.
6. Turn on the host system.
7. Scan the Recall Defaults bar code.
8. Configure the StratosE to match the host system’s RS232 parameters.
Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407x) under Section G: RS232, Enable RS232 Mode.
