INSTALLATION CABLE INSTALLATION (INTERFACE SPECIFIC) FULL SPEED USB The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for a Full Speed USB StratosH application. The scanner must then be configured to match the host’s USB parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the StratosH will communicate properly with the host system.
INSTALLATION CABLE INSTALLATION (INTERFACE SPECIFIC) FULL SPEED USB Step 8 is for USB Serial Emulation Mode or Keyboard Emulation Mode only. 8. Configure the StratosH for Bi-Directional USB Serial Emulation Mode or USB Keyboard Emulation Mode by scanning the appropriate configuration bar codes in the USB section of the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407x). Step 7 must be completed before continuing to step 8 for these features to work properly. xxx* Specifies international connection.
INSTALLATION CABLE INSTALLATION (INTERFACE SPECIFIC) RS485S The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an RS485S StratosH application. The scanner must then be configured to match the host’s RS485S parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the StratosH will communicate properly with the host system.

SCANNER OPERATION SCAN ZONE Figure 31. Horizontal Direct (13 mil) Figure 32. Vertical Direct (13 mil) Specifications are subject to change without notice.
SCANNER OPERATION IR ACTIVATION AREA (IR LED OUTPUT) The StratosH’s default power save mode† is Dual Action Power Save Mode #2 (see page 36). 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, will cause the scanner to exit the power save mode.
SCANNER OPERATION INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS Audible When in operation the StratosH 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, six alternate tones and no tone) plus three volume settings. To change the tone or volume, refer to the Changing the Beeper Tone & Volume section of this manual.
SCANNER OPERATION INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS Visual Steady White and Blue After a successful scan, the scanner transmits the data to the host device. Some communication modes require that the host inform the scanner when data is ready to be received. If the host is not ready to accept the information, the scanner’s white LED will remain on until the data can be transmitted. Flashing Blue then Flashing White This indicates the scanner is in configuration mode.
SCANNER OPERATION INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS Diagnostic Indicator Display There is a two-digit error code display located under the platter near the end of the scanner farthest from the vertical window (see figure below). Figure 35. Error Code Display The following is a list of possible error codes and their meanings. Some errors will require immediate scanner maintenance. ERROR CODE S DESCRIPTION 01 Reserved 02 RAM ERROR – The scanner’s Random Access Memory (RAM) is tested as faulty.
SCANNER OPERATION INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS Diagnostic Indicator Display ERROR CODE DESCRIPTION 11 SWITCH ERROR – The switch used for volume selection or sleep mode is detected in error (always closed). The condition is self-correcting if possible. If the error persists, return the unit for repair at an authorized service center. The scanning operation can continue with this error active. 21 LASER #1 (VERTICAL) ERROR – The laser in the vertical scanning subsystem denotes a failure.
SCANNER OPERATION POWER SAVE MODES The StratosH has five configurable power save modes. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407x) for additional information on Power Save Modes. 1. 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. 2. Laser Off Power Save Mode: Turns the laser OFF after a configured period of non-use. The motor continues to spin allowing for a faster “wake” up time.
SCANNER OPERATION BEEPER OPTIONS AND BUTTON FUNCTIONS Changing the Beeper Tone Beeper tones may be configured 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. Next Beep Tone ³ 9 9 9 9 7 5 Changing the Beeper Volume Volume levels may be configured using the volume button or incrementally using the following bar code.
SCANNER OPERATION STARTUP When the scanner first receives power the white LED will flash, the blue LED will turn on and the scanner will beep once (the white LED will remain on for the duration of the beep). The scanner is now ready to scan. POWER-UP TEST MODE When a StratosH scanner is first powered up, it cycles through a number of self-tests before starting normal operation.
MAINTENANCE PLATTER / HORIZONTAL SCAN WINDOW REPLACEMENT Figure 40. Platter/Horizontal Scan Window Replacement* * See replacement parts on page 3.
MAINTENANCE VERTICAL SCAN WINDOW REPLACEMENT (MLPN 46-46889) Figure 41. Vertical Scan Window Replacement DAILY MAINTENANCE Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. Therefore, the horizontal and vertical output windows will need occasional cleaning. For the glass window: 1. Spray glass cleaner onto lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth. 2. Gently wipe the scanner window. For the inner plastic window: 40 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING 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 spin. No power is being supplied to the scanner. Check the transformer, outlet and the power strip. Make sure the power cable is plugged into the scanner. During power up the unit beeps 3 times. A non-volatile RAM failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Possible Cause(s) Solution All Interfaces Check the character length lock. The aspect ratio of the bar code is out of tolerance. Scanner beeps at some bar codes and NOT for others of the same bar code symbology. Check if it is a check digit, character or border problem. The bar code may have been printed incorrectly. The scanner is not configured correctly for this type of bar code. Check if check digits are set properly.
TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Possible Cause(s) Solution Aux Port Operation With Any Interface The secondary scanner is not functioning. Refer to the user’s guide provided with the secondary scanner. The secondary scanner cable may not be connected to the proper port on the StratosH. The secondary scanner powers up but data is not relayed to the host. Ensure that the secondary scanner is connected to the StratosH’s com port marked “Aux” port. * The StratosH must be configured to enable the auxiliary port.
DEFAULT SETTINGS COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS Many functions of the scanner can be "configured" - that is, enabled or disabled. The scanner is shipped from the factory preconfigured to a set of default conditions. The default parameter of the scanner has an asterisk ( * ) in the charts on the following pages. If an asterisk is not in the default column then the default setting is Off or Disabled. Every interface does not support every parameter.
