Be calibrated, sealed and certified by local Weights and Measures authorities after the scale configuration process has been completed. The scanner/scale can not be placed in service until it is sealed and certified by the proper authorities. For further details on calibration procedures for Weights and Measures certification, refer to the Scale Operation: Calibration section of the Stratos Installation and User’s Guide.
Always follow all Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) procedures when exposing the internal scanner/scale components. Enter the scale program mode by sliding the switch to the program position. See Figure 2 below for the switch location on the StratosE and StratosH.
Page 8
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 scanner/scale to facilitate calibration and service of the unit. To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN/IEC 60950-1.
