NSTALLATION
The following is a quick preview of the steps required for 1
section.
•
Determine clearance, ventilation and service access requirements.
•
Determine checkstand layout taking into account package flow, cable routing and power requirements.
•
Choose the mounting option which provides the best cable/power access and unit stability.
•
Unpack the unit.
•
Make the appropriate countertop cutouts and install all support brackets.
•
Place the unit in the counter.
•
Install the platter.
•
Follow the steps under the correct interface to connect the cables and power supply.
•
Configure the unit for the correct interface.

EQUIREMENTS
Before installing your StratosH scanner, please consider the following items.
Vertical Clearance
A minimum clearance height of 7.00" from the checkstand surface is needed for the vertical 'hood' on all of the scanner
models.
Ventilation and Spacing
All StratosH 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. A cooling fan with a filter is recommended if there will be
a conveyor motor or other heat producing equipment close to the unit that will create a high temperature environment.
Service Access
When routing and installing the cable(s) and power supply, make sure you leave access so that these components may be
swapped easily without the need to remove the unit from the checkstand.
When changing the StratosSWAP optics engine modules, Metrologic recommends removing the unit completely from the
checkstand.
Power Installation
The Power Supply (AC/DC) should be connected to an AC Outlet that is free of electrical noise (clean). A qualified electrician
can determine the amount of electrical noise on the AC line. See additional information on power installation and restrictions
under the Installation: Cable Installation (Interface Specific) section of this manual.
Metrologic recommends using a switched AC outlet. The switch should be located on the operator's side of the
checkstand in close proximity to the StratosH to facilitate calibration and service of the unit.
Checkstand Layout Considerations
When placing a scanner in a checkstand, the following factors should be considered.
•
Items should flow at a distance to the operator that maximizes comfort. The operator should not need to stretch or strain
to reach for and scan packages.
•
The StratosH can scan a bar code on six 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. A properly placed item diverter can
maximize the flow of packages.
•
In what direction are the packages flowing? Most checkstands are designed for left-handed takeaway. If the operator is
facing the vertical window of the scanner, packages flow from the operator's right to left. The packages are in queue on
the conveyor to the right and the bagging is to the left.
