Checkstand Vibration
Installation Overview
2-18
There are a number of things to take into account when installing the unit
into a checkstand. Key factors are ergonomic/worker safety, loading capac-
ity and stability. Consider the scanner or scanner/scale's weight when cal-
culating 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

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 installation
which minimizes excess vibration from conveyor belts, fans, and other
such equipment. See

POS terminal's system requirements.
5. Confirming connection to the EAS system.
6. Functional testing to verify operation when connected to the POS
system.
