RS232
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an RS232 StratosH application. The scanner must then be
configured to match the host's RS232 parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the StratosH will
communicate properly with the host system.
Configuration bar codes are located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (
MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (
1.
Turn off the host system.
2.
Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the RS232 interface cable (
RS232 to Host, on the bottom of the StratosH. Refer to figure on page 19.
3.
Connect the other end of the RS232 cable to the proper communication port on the host device.
Before continuing, verify that the RS232 interface cable is connected to the appropriate interface socket on the
scanner. An incorrect cable connection can cause communication problems or potential damage to the scanner
and/or terminal.
4.
Plug the external power supply (
StratosH.
xxx*
Specifies international connection. See Optional Accessories in the Introduction section of this guide for a complete listing.
Check the AC input requirements of the power supply to make sure the voltage matches the AC outlet.
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
checkstand in close proximity to the StratosH to facilitate calibration and service of the unit.
5.
Connect AC power to the transformer. If the AC outlet is equipped with an on/off switch, turn the power on.
6.
Turn on the host system.
7.
Scan the Recall Defaults bar code.
The Recall Defaults bar code is located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (
Need to Start Over.
8.
Configure the StratosH to match the host system's RS232 parameters.
Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (
Mode (scan the recall defaults bar code first).
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.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950/UL 60950 and norm EN/IEC 60950, the power source should
meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.
