    Ventilation and Spacing All Stratos 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.

  • Page 30: Service Access

    When changing the StratosSWAP optics engine modules, Metrologic recommends removing the unit completely from the checkstand. When calibrating or zeroing the scale, do not remove the unit from the checkstand.

    CANNER PERATION NDICATOR ESCRIPTIONS Visual There is an array of LEDs (white and/or blue) located on the top of the hood of the MS202x. When the scanner is on, the flashing or constant illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the current scan and the scanner. Figure 48.
  • Page 65 CANNER PERATION NDICATOR ESCRIPTIONS Visual Flashing Blue then Flashing White This indicates the scanner is in program mode. A razzberry tone indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned in this mode. 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.

  • Page 66: Failure

    CANNER PERATION NDICATOR ESCRIPTIONS 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 3 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.
