INSTALLATION
Q
UICK 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 and remove the shipping hardware from the scale arms.
• 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 the StratosH scanner, please consider the following items.
Vertical Clearance
A minimum clearance height of 7.00" from the checkout counter surface is needed for the vertical 'hood' on all of the scanner
models.
Ventilation and Spacing
All StratosH 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.
Service Access
When routing and installing the cable(s) and power supply, make sure to leave access so 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.

INSTALLATION
Q
UICK INSTALLATION OUTLINE
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: Cable Installation (Interface Specific) 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 StratosH 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 StratosH can scan a bar code on six 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.
• 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
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 is installed in the checkout
counter.

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING THE UNIT
MS2320 Package Warning
All hardware securing the scale arms during shipping must be removed or the scale will not function!
Do not discard instruction sheet and shipping hardware! These items must be reinstalled if the unit is going
to be shipped. See Figure 16 for instructions on how to reinstall hardware before shipping.
Figure 16. Removal of Shipping Hardware
Do not discard these instructions and shipping hardware! If the unit is going to be reshipped at any time this
hardware must be reinstalled for preventing damage to the scale arms during shipping.
Lifting the Unit by the Handles
There are two handles located under the removable platter
near the base of the vertical window. These handles are
provided to assist in installation when placing the unit in the
checkout counter cutout.
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
handles. The unit will tilt forward when lifted by the handles if
it is not stabilized making installation in the countertop cutout
difficult.

2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the RS485S interface cable (MLPN 57-57004x-N-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled
Scanner RS232 / IBM 46xx to Host, on the bottom of the StratosH. Refer to Figure on page 21.
3. Connect the other end of the RS485S cable to communication port 9 on the host device.
Before continuing verify that the RS485S 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.
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.

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 StratosH.
7. Plug the external power supply (MLPN 46-46xxx*) into the 3-pin Molex socket labeled, DC Power In, on the bottom of
the StratosH.

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 StratosH 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.
