should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

INSTALLATION

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

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.

CABLE INSTALLATION (SECONDARY METROLOGIC SCANNER)

The following steps describe how to properly install the cables between a secondary Metrologic scanner and the StratosH. The StratosH and the secondary scanner must then be configured to communicate properly. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the StratosH will communicate properly with the host system and secondary scanner.

Contact a Metrologic customer service representative before connecting another manufacturer’s scanner to the StratosH 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 Scanner.

1. Refer to pages 15 - 22 for the type of interface (RS232, RS485 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) to the RS232 into the socket of the secondary scanner (see figure on page 25).

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 StratosH.

Important: The StratosH series’ aux port requires the signals; transmit, receive, RTS & CTS from the secondary scanner.

The StratosH’s 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 StratosH: 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 ≤ 150mA 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 StratosH 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 StratosH 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, six 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 31.

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 31.

Visual

White and blue LEDs are located at the top of the vertical output window. When the scanner is illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the StratosH and the current scan.

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.

SCANNER OPERATION

INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS

Visual

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.

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 32). 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 three 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 three 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 three 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.

INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS

Diagnostic Indicator Display

There is a two-digit error code display located under the platter near the end of the scanner farthest from the vertical window (see figure below).

Figure 33. Error Code Display

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

ERROR

CODE

Reserved

DESCRIPTION

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

authorized service center.

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

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 programming StratosH 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

three beeps. This error will remain during operation as a reminder that this power cycle is scanning against a default-generated 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 RS485

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.

Applicable for IBM® Host applications.

ERROR

CODE

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.

SCALE ERROR – Single Cable Scanner/Scales Only. The scanner does not communicate with the scale. Make sure there is nothing plugged into the Scale RS232 to

Host port. If there is a cable connected, disconnect the cable it may be causing the communication error. If there is still no communication between the scanner and scale return the unit to an authorized service center for repair.

SCALE RETURN TO ZERO ERROR – The scale did not return to zero between scale weight requests if the zero

checking function in enabled. The scale will need to be re-zeroed.

DESCRIPTION

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.

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 StratosH 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 31 on page 29).

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 31 on page 29). 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 31 on page 29).

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 31 on page 29).

CALIBRATION

The scanner/scale must be calibrated if:

• it is a first time installation

• the scale cannot be re-zeroed

• the calibration verification tests indicate errors

• there is a change in the units of measure [i.e. from pounds (lbs.) to kilograms (kg)]

• if the scale load cell has been replaced

• the calibration seal is missing or torn

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.

Tools Required

• Field Standard 30.0 pound Weight Set or 15.0 kilogram Weight Set

• Wire or Paper Seal

Type of seal to be used will depend on the guidelines specified by the local Weights and Measures

authorities.

• Phillips #1 Screw Driver

Scale Calibration Methods

• Scale Calibration with Remote Display uses the scale display to sequence through the calibration steps and store

critical calibration points.

• Bar Code Scale Calibration without Remote Display* uses the scanner / scale only and assumes there is no

remote scale display. A bar code is used to initiate the calibration sequence and the speaker volume switch is used to store critical range values.

* This calibration procedure will work with the remote display connected to the StratosH but no data will appear on the remote display.

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.
