IMPORTANT NOTES - BEFORE YOU START It is important to carefully read the notes marked with a symbol on the pages contained in this manual. Not all configuration codes are designed to be used for both a single and dual cable scanner/scale system. Many of the configuration bar codes require additional steps before the unit can be configured and placed into service. Most of the bar codes in this addendum were designed to be used with a Stratos model that includes a scale.
SCALE PROGRAM MODE The following steps are only required for the scale configuration bar codes located on pages 5 - 19 (bar codes beginning with 996). 1. Power down the scanner/scale. Then, temporarily remove the scale platter and place it in a safe location. Figure 1. 2. Cut and remove the security seal over the program/calibration switch cover. See Figure 2 below for seal location on the StratosE and the StratosH models. See Figure 3 on page 3 for the seal location on the StratosS.
SCALE PROGRAM MODE Figure 3. StratosS Calibration Seal and Switch Location 5. Disconnect the scale-to-host RS232 cable from the unit (dual cable interface only). Figure 4. Disconnect scale-to-host RS232 Cable 6. Reinstall the platter and connect AC power to the scanner. 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.
SCALE PROGRAM MODE 7. If the system is equipped with a remote scale display, it will read H - - -. 8. Use the vertical window to scan the desired scale configuration bar codes, located on pages 5 - 19. Figure 5. 9. Reconnect the scale-to-host RS232 cable to the scanner (dual cable interface only). Figure 6. 10. The scale must now be calibrated, tested and certified by local Weights and Measures authorities before it can be placed in service.
SCALE/LOAD CELL CONFIGURATION BAR CODES Single or Dual Cable Scale Configuration Bar Codes Unit Configuration (Pounds or Kilograms) The following bar codes can be used to configure a Single or Dual Cable MS2xx0.
