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.
ServiceAccess
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.

UNPACKING THE UNIT
MS2320 Package Warning
All hardware securing the scale arms during shipping must be removed or the scale will not function!
Do notdiscardinstruction 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.

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.
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 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.

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.
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 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 Blueand 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.
ContinuousRazzberryTonewith 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.

01
DESCRIPTION
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 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
05
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
06
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 RS485

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
13
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
14
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
21
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.
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
31
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
32
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.

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 errors during the scale calibration verification tests.
Pressure Sensitive Security Seal*
1. Temporarily remove the platter and place it in a safe location.
2. Reinstall the calibration switch/button cover.

Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. Therefore, the horizontal and vertical output windows
will need occasional cleaning.
1. Use mild soap and water with lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth.
2. Gently wipe the scanner window.
Routinely check and clean the base unit to ensure that no debris is interfering with the platter movement.

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.
