Checkstand Vibration

Installation Overview

30
There are a number of things to take into account when installing
the unit into a checkstand. Key factors are ergonomic/worker
safety, loading capacity and stability. Consider the scanner or scan-
ner/scale's weight when calculating the robustness of construction
needed to support it as well as maximum capacity of weighed and
scanned items.
If you choose to rout a countertop with a thickness of 0.75" (1.9 cm)
plywood, you'll need to add a backing strip that supports the area
routed out for the support flanges (see Figure 9 ). This support strip
should minimally be made of 0.75" (1.9 cm) thick plywood and be
approximately 4.0" (10.2 cm) wide and 14.0" (35.6 cm) long. This strip
should be glued as well as screwed to the underside of the countertop.
Proper function of the scanner/scale is dependent upon an installa-
tion which minimizes excess vibration from conveyor belts, fans,
and other such equipment. See

installed location and counter preparations to accommodate the
scanner or scanner/scale. Having completed those steps, physical
installation of the scanner or scanner/scale can begin. The follow-
ing instructions apply to all models.
This chapter describes:
1. Unpacking the unit.
2. Verifying operation before connecting to a POS system.
3. Routing and connecting cables.
4. Validating that your scanner communication parameters
match the POS terminal's system requirements.
5. Confirming connection to the (optional) EAS system.
6. Functional testing to verify operation when connected to the
POS system.
The following text describes each of these steps.
