Recommended Power Installation:
Since the typical grocery envi-
ronment includes conveyor belts and electric motors, care should be taken
to ensure that the scanner has a supply of "clean" power (power without
excessive electrical noise). A wiring diagram shows the recommended wir-
ing that will provide the scanner with a "clean" source of power. Refer to
.

Counter Preparation:
Since the majority of grocery checkout lanes are
designed as "left-hand take away," the counter drawings in this chapter
focus on this counter design. Simply reverse the layout for a "right-hand
take away" requirement. The unit scans equally well in either of these two
configurations.
Liquid Drainage:
Should a liquid spill occur, ensure that moisture can
flow through the checkstand without pooling.
Leveling:
Plan ahead and provide screws/bolts in the checkstand mounts
and a leveling guide (board) to allow leveling of the scanner or scanner/
scale within the counter. Use a 0.375" thick board to replicate the mount-
ing flange on the long scanner or scanner/scale, and adjust screws or bolts
until the board is flush within the counter. Use a 4.0" wide board stood on
its end to adjust leveling screws/bolts in rail support applications.
Cable Routing:
Placement of the scanner/scale should be planned to
allow easy access to other components as well as optimize communication
between the scanner, the POS terminal, the optional Remote Scale Dis-
®
TM
play and the Sensormatic ScanMax Pro controller. Note that cables
may drop straight down from the scanner's connector panel, or may be
conveniently routed along the unit's side using the hardware provided. Do
not route interface cables near any electrical motors or other sources of
electromagnetic interference.
Remote Scale Display Placement:
The customer, and checker in
some instances, must be able to easily view and read the Remote Scale Dis-
play. Ambient light and mounting height considerations are discussed
later in this chapter.
