MS2420/MS2430 Scanner/Diva Scale Caution and Serial Number Labels Figure 10. MS2420/MS2430 Label Locations (Top) and Examples (Bottom) Caution: To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the imager must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN/IEC 60950-1.
Ventilation and Spacing All MS2420 and MS2430 models have a die-cast housing to dissipate heat allowing the unit to operate without a ventilation fan. The temperature surrounding the unit is recommended not to exceed 40°C (104°F). There should be adequate convection and minimal heat producing equipment in close proximity of the unit.
The MS2420 and MS2430 can scan a bar code on five 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.
Figure 11 4. Lift the MS2420/MS2430 scanner out of the box by carefully grasping both sides near the center of the unit and lifting directly up. Refer to Figure 12 for hand placement.
Installing the Unit in the Counter Before starting to mount the MS2420/MS2430 determine: the scanner's orientation in reference to the operator and the direction of package flow, ...

Audible Indicators When in operation the MS2420/MS2430 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.
LED indicates the status of the MS2420/MS2430 and the current scan. There is an additional amber LED next to the scale zero symbol on all MS2420/MS2430 models that include a scale (see Figure 32).
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.
If they do not agree, an interface error exists. Correct this problem by getting the proper hardware interface OR programming MS2420/MS2430 configuration for the proper interface hardware attached. CONFIGURATION ERROR – The non-volatile configuration memory did not agree with the data last saved.
Page 45
Diagnostic Indicator Display Error Description Code 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.

Power Save Modes The MS2420/MS2430 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 and ON after a configured period of non-use.
Beeper Options and Button Functions Changing the Beeper Tone Beeper tones may be configured incrementally using the following bar code. The new tone will be heard followed by a short pause. Two more new tones will be heard signifying the new setting has been stored in memory.
Power-Up Test Mode When a MS2420/MS2430 scanner is first powered up, it cycles through a number of self-tests before starting normal operation. If there are any initial failures during this sequence of tests the scanner will beep or razz to indicate the error and an error code will appear in the diagnostic indicator display.
Scale Operation Scale Zeroing After the unit has been officially calibrated (see page 48) the scale can be re-zeroed by pressing the scale- zeroing button either on the unit or on the remote display stand. When the scale is at zero the amber LED will be illuminated.
A bar code is used to initiate the calibration sequence and the Multi-Functional Button (see page 44) is used to store critical range values. * This calibration procedure will work with the remote display connected to the MS2420/MS2430 but no data will appear on the remote display.
Priming the Scale for Calibration (lbs. or kg) Prime the scale before starting either method of calibration. Note: Calibrate the scanner/Diva scale after the unit is installed in the checkout countertop. It is important to use the correct certified (lb. or kg.) field weight set when calibrating the scale. 1.
Place the security screw and cover in a safe location. Figure 42. Diva Scale security seals 3. Press the calibration button to access the Service Mode. ‘Cal’ then ‘Conf’ will appear on the remote display. Figure 43.

Daily Maintenance Smudges and dirt on the unit’s window can interfere with the unit’s performance. If the horizontal or vertical output windows require cleaning, use only a mild glass cleaner containing no ammonia. When cleaning the window, spray the cleaner onto a lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth then gently wipe the window clean. If the unit’s case requires cleaning, use a mild cleaning agent that does not contain strong oxidizing chemicals.
