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.
• Calibrate the scale.
SITE REQUIREMENTS
Before installing your StratosS scanner/Avery 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 StratosS 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.
Adequate spacing between the unit and the checkout counter opening is required for proper operation of the scale. When the
scanner/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 for detailed cutout dimensions and mounting
instructions.
st

INSTALLATION
SITE REQUIREMENTS
ServiceAccess
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.
When calibrating or zeroing the scale, do not remove the unit from the checkout counter. Refer to the Scale Operation Section
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.
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 StratosS 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 StratosS 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.

CABLE INSTALLATION (INTERFACE SPECIFIC)
RS232
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an RS232 StratosS application. The scanner/Avery scale
must then be configured to match the host’s RS232 parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the
StratosS will communicate properly with the host system.
Configuration bar codes are located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide(MLPN 00-02407x) and the
MS2xxx 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 57-57210x-N-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled
Scanner Host RS232, on the bottom of the StratosS. Refer to figure on page 18.
3. Connect the other end of the RS232 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.
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

3. Connect the other end of the OCIA Interface cable (MLPN 57-57016x-N-3) to the appropriate communication port on the
host device.
Before continuing verify that the OCIA cable pinouts match the host system’s and 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.
Manufacturers Note: Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the host device does not guarantee that scanned
information will appear at the host device. A software driver and correct configuration settings are also required for
proper communication to occur.
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 (MLPN 57-57000x-N-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled Scale RS232 to Host, on the bottom of
the StratosS.
5. Connect the other end of the dual interface cable (MLPN 57-57000x-N-3) to the appropriate communication port on the
host’s scale device.
6. Plug the optional remote display cable (MLPN 46-00248x or 46-00249x) into the 10-pin socket labeled Scale to Display
on the bottom of the StratosS.
7. Plug the external power supply (MLPN 46-002xx) into the 3-pin Molex socket labeled, DC PowerIn, on the bottom of the
StratosS.
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 StratosS 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.
9. Turn on the host system.

INSTALLATION
CABLE INSTALLATION (SECONDARY METROLOGIC SCANNER)
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables between a secondary Metrologic scanner and the StratosS.
The StratosS and the secondary scanner must then be configured to communicate properly. Cable installation alone does not
guarantee that the StratosS will communicate properly with the host system and secondary scanner.
Contact a Metrologic customer service representative before connecting another manufacturer’s scanner to the
StratosS as a secondary scanner.
Configuration bar codes are located in the MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (MLPN 00-02034x) under
Scanner Configuration Bar Codes: Auxiliary Port, Quick Start for a Secondary Metrologic Scanners.
1. Refer to pages 17 - 24 for the type of interface (RS232, IBM 46xx, etc.) required for your application. Follow the cable
installation steps under the appropriate interface before continuing. Once the communication and power cables have
been installed follow step 2 below for the secondary scanner installation.
2. Connect the straight end of the RS232 PowerLink AUX cable (MLPN 57-57099x-3) into the RS232 socket of the secondary scanner (see figure on page 27).
3. Connect the angled end of the RS232 AUX cable (MLPN 57-57099x-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled Aux RS232 In, on
the bottom of the StratosS.
Important: The StratosS series’ aux port requires the signals; transmit, receive, RTS & CTS from the secondary scanner.
StratosS’ auxiliary port will support 5VDC devices with a 150mA maximum current. If the auxiliary device exceeds
this specification an external power supply will be required to power the auxiliary device.
The following Metrologic scanners can receive power from StratosS: the MS9520, MS9540, and the MS5145.
4. This step is required for secondary devices that require >5VDC and/or 150mA current to operate. Skip to step 5 if
the secondary device requires ≤ 5VDC.
Plug the power supply into the secondary scanner’s PowerLink cable (MLPN 57-57099x-3) and connect AC power to the
secondary scanner.
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.
5. Configure the StratosS and the secondary scanner. The auxiliary input port’s data format must match the main output
format of the secondary scanner.

SCANNER OPERATION
INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS
Audible
When in operation the StratosS 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.
OneBeep
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 34.
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, three 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 34.
Descending Tone
The scanner will emit a descending tone when the microprocessor is about to Flash upgrade.
Ascending Tone
The scanner will emit an ascending tone when the interface coprocessor is about to Flash upgrade.

SCANNER OPERATION
INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS
Visual
White and blue LEDs are located near the bottom corner of the vertical output window on the StratosS. When the scanner is
ON, the flashing or constant, illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the StratosS and the current scan. There is an
additional amber LED next to the scale zero symbol on all StratosS models that include a scale (see figure below).
Figure 29. LEDs
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.
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 configuration mode. A razzberry tone indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned in
this mode.
or
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 35). The scanner may
continue to operate depending on the type of error.

Diagnostic Indicator Display
There is a two-digit error code display located under horizontal output window near the Metrologic logo on the platter (see
figure below).
Figure 30. Error Code Display (Optional Product Roll Bar Shown)
The following is a list of possible error codes and their meanings. Some errors will require immediate scanner maintenance.
ERROR
CODE
01 Reserved
RAM ERROR – The scanner’s Random Access Memory (RAM) is tested as faulty. Return the unit for repair at an
02
authorized service center.
PROGRAM ERROR – The scanner’s software program is failing. Return the unit for repair.
03
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
04
problem by getting the proper hardware interface OR programming StratosS configuration 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
05
beeps. This error will remain during operation as a reminder that this power cycle is scanning against a defaultgenerated configuration.
DESCRIPTION

SCANNER OPERATION
INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS
Diagnostic Indicator Display
ERROR
CODE
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
06
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
09
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
11
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.

communication between the scanner and scale return the unit to authorized service center for repair.
SCALE RETURN TO ZERO ERROR – The scale did not return to zero between scale weight requests if the zero
14
checking function is enabled. The scale will need to be re-zeroed.
LASER #1 (VERTICAL) ERROR – The laser in the vertical scanning subsystem denotes a failure. The scanner
21
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
22
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.
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
23
laser (#2) is also in error, the horizontal scanning subsystem will be shut down and this error code will remain on
the Diagnostic Indicators.

POWER SAVE MODES
The MS2220 has five configurable power save modes. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide for 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 28 on page
31).
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 28 on page 31). 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:
Last
Scan
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 28 on page 31).
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.

SCALE OPERATION
SECURITY SEAL INSTALLATION
The certification of the weighing mechanism of the scale version of this scanner is subject to federal, state and local
Weights and Measures statutes and regulations and can only be performed by authorized government agencies
and/or their duly registered agents. Each time the scale or weighing mechanism is calibrated, it should be properly
sealed with a paper seal or a wire seal prior to being placed into service in commerce.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the scale to confirm compliance with the relevant Weights and Measures statutes
and regulations applicable in your area by checking with the appropriate government agency before placing a newly
calibrated unit into service or removing any official seals.
Type of seal to be used will depend on the guidelines specified by the local Weights and Measures authorities.
The security seal must only be installed if there were no

TROUBLESHOOTING
RS232DEMONSTRATION 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.

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
