EQUIREMENTS Before installing your StratosS scanner, 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 StratosS 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).
• Power Supply • Communication Cables 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.

NSTALLATION EAS D EACTIVATION SW1 and SW2 are the switch banks inside the Checkpoint device that set the deactivation range. The following is a list of Checkpoint recommended switch bank settings. Base Model MS2221 MS2222 All StratosS models have a connector labeled EAS In on the bottom of the unit. Metrologic has an optional EAS cable 52-52511x) available for purchase for connection between the Checkpoint device and the StratosS.
OFF after a configured period of non-use then turns the motor OFF after thirty-minute intervals. Any movement detected by the IR in the activation area, shown below in grey, will cause the scanner to exit the power save mode.
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.
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.
“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.

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.
Page 38
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.
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 30 on page 29). This mode’s “wake” time is slightly longer due to the motor’s need to restart.
This feature is configuration dependent. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide 00-02407x) under Scanner Operation: Power Save Modes to enable this feature. MLPN Waking the Unit from All Power Save Modes The next button depression will awaken the scanner for normal operation.
TARTUP 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.
AINTENANCE ORIZONTAL INDOW After the replacement platter has been installed, remove all protective film from the new platter’s window. The unit will not function properly if the protective film is not removed. * See replacement parts on page 3. † If the platter on the MS2221 is not equipped with a product weight roll bar / lift handle, it can be removed using the same method as shown for the MS2222.
For the glass window: Spray glass cleaner onto lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth. Gently wipe the scanner window. For the inner plastic window: Use mild soap and water with lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth. Gently wipe the scanner window.

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.
Many functions of the scanner can be "configured" - that is, enabled or disabled. The scanner is shipped from the factory pre- configured to a set of default conditions. The default parameter of the scanner has an asterisk ( * ) in the charts on the following pages.
