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
time installations. Each item is discussed in detail later in this

INSTALLATION
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, 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.

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING THE UNIT
1. Make sure the shipping box is top-side up before opening.
2. Remove the accessories box and check the box’s content
for the following items.
• Remote Display (Optional)
• Product Manuals
• Power Supply
• Communication Cables
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

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
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 Power In, 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.
