INSTALLATION

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 Diva scale.

SITE REQUIREMENTS

Before installing your MS2420 scanner/Diva 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 MS2420 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/Diva 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 beginning on page 14 of this guide for detailed cutout dimensions and mounting instructions.

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 beginning on page 38 of this guide for detailed instructions on zeroing and calibration.

INSTALLATION

SITE REQUIREMENTS

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.

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

• The MS2420 can scan a bar code on five sides of a package. The packages should flow into the scan area that provides

• In what direction are the packages flowing? Most checkout counters are designed for left-handed takeaway. If the
