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.
Before installing the StratosH scanner, please consider the following items.
A minimum clearance height of 7.00" from the checkout counter surface is needed for the vertical 'hood' on all of the scanner models.
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.
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
QUICK INSTALLATION OUTLINE
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.

UNPACKING THE UNIT
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.
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.

RS232
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an RS232 StratosH application. The scanner/scale must then be configured to match the host’s RS232 parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the StratosH 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 57-57000x-N-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled Scanner RS232 to Host, on the bottom of the StratosH. Refer to figure on page 16.
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 StratosH.
