ODEL HARACTERISTICS MS2122 Scanner Caution and Serial Number Labels Figure 9. MS2122 Label Locations (Top) and Examples (Bottom) Caution: 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. To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No.
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.
NSTALLATION NPACKING THE Make sure the shipping box is top-side up before opening. Remove the accessories box and check its content for the following items. • Product Manuals • Power Supply • Communication Cable(s) Figure 10. Lift the scanner out of the shipping box by gripping the bottom of the unit on both sides.
NSTALLATION NSTALLING THE NIT IN THE OUNTER There are two options for mounting your MS2122 scanner. Option A, is a two-point mounting system that supports the unit at the front and back. Option B, is a three-point mounting system that supports the unit at the back and on the sides. Before starting to mount the MS2122 determine: •...
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 StratosE to facilitate service of the unit.
The outlet should be located near the equipment and be easily accessible. 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 StratosE to facilitate service of the unit.

ABLE NSTALLATION The following steps describe how to properly install the cables between a secondary Metrologic scanner and the StratosE. The StratosE and the secondary scanner must then be configured to communicate properly. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the StratosE will communicate properly with the host system and secondary scanner.
SW1 & SW2 switches 1 and 6 set to ON The StratosE has a connector (marked EAS In) on the bottom of the scanner. Metrologic has an optional EAS cable 52-52511A) available for purchase for connection between the Checkpoint device and the StratosE.
CANNER PERATION Figure 29. Top-Down (13 mil) IR A CTIVATION † † The StratosE’s default power save mode is Dual Action Power Save Mode #2 (see page 26). This power save mode turns the laser 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.
CANNER PERATION NDICATOR ESCRIPTIONS Audible When in operation the StratosE 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, 6 alternate tones and no tone) plus three volume settings. To change the tone or volume, refer to the Changing the Beeper Tone &...
CANNER PERATION NDICATOR ESCRIPTIONS Visual Steady Blue When all lasers are active, the blue LED is illuminated. The blue LED will remain illuminated until all lasers are deactivated. 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.
CANNER PERATION NDICATOR ESCRIPTIONS Diagnostic Indicator Display There is a two-digit error code display located under the platter near the bottom right corner of the output window (see figure below). Figure 32. Diagnostic Indicator Display The following is a list of possible error codes and their meanings. Some errors will require immediate scanner maintenance. Error Description Code...
Page 29
CANNER PERATION NDICATOR ESCRIPTIONS Diagnostic Indicator Display Error Description Code LASER #1 (VERTICAL) ERROR – The laser in the vertical scanning subsystem denotes a failure. The scanner will try three times to correct the laser operation. If the laser error persists, the vertical scanning subsystem will be shut down and this error code will remain on the Diagnostic Indicators.
CANNER PERATION OWER ODES The MS2122 has five configurable power save modes. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide ( 00-02407x) for MLPN additional information on Power Save Modes. Blink Power Save Mode: Blinks the laser OFF & ON after a configured period of non-use. When the scanner recognizes a bar code it will exit the Blink mode.
CANNER PERATION EEPER PTIONS AND UTTON UNCTIONS Changing the Beeper Tone Beeper tones may be configured directly or 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. The silent (no beep) tone is also selectable.
ONFIGURATION All MS2122 scanners have been configured at the factory with a set of default communication protocols. Since many host systems have unique formats and protocol requirements, Metrologic provides a wide range of configurable features that may ® be selected with the use of the MetroSelect...
AINTENANCE AILY AINTENANCE Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. Therefore, the output window will need occasional cleaning. For the glass window: Spray glass cleaner onto lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth. Gently wipe the scanner window. For the red window: Use mild soap and water with lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth.
ROUBLESHOOTING The following guide is for reference purposes only. Contact a Metrologic representative at 1-800-ID-METRO or 1-800-436-3876 to preserve the limited warranty terms. Symptom Possible Cause(s) Solution All Interfaces No LEDs, beep or motor No power is being supplied to Check the transformer, outlet and the power strip.

The auxiliary input port’s data format must match the main output format of the secondary scanner. * Refer to the MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum ( 00-02034x) under Scanner Configuration Bar Codes: MLPN Auxiliary Port, Quick Start for a Secondary Metrologic Scanner.
ROUBLESHOOTING RS232 D EMONSTRATION ROGRAM If an RS232 scanner is not communicating with your IBM compatible PC, key in the following BASIC program to test that the communication port and scanner are working. 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.
