3.0 Installation
3.1 Unpacking
Open the top side of the shipping carton. Remove the top packing foam. Lift the Unit from the box, ensuring a firm grip
on the main enclosure. Remove the power cord and Operator’s Manual. Retain original shipping carton and packaging for
future use.
3.2 Location and Setup
Install the Unit on a flat stable surface. This may be on top of or inside a standard airline podium or counter.
Do not install the Unit where it will be directly exposed to sunlight. Sunlight will affect the Unit’s optical sensors at the
stock input and exit points. Sunlight will also affect the readability of the front panel.
Physical and Environmental Installation Requirements (Base Model)
Power: 100-120/200-240 VAC, 50/60Hz Single Phase. Three wire ground plug.
Dimensions: Length: 16.75” (42.55cm) / Width: 8.63” (21.91cm) / Height: 6.50” (16.51cm)
Weight: 15 lbs
Operating Temperature: 40 to 104°F (4 to 40°C)
Storage Temperature: -4 to 140°F (-20 to 60°C)
Relative Operating Humidity: 5 to 95%, non-condensing, without degradation of performance
Relative Storage Humidity: 5 to 95%, non-condensing, without damage to any components
Ventilation: Make sure that the ventilation fan input is kept clear and free of foreign obstructions.
The fan input is located in the input path area so that the Unit can be installed in a very
enclosed (tight) area. As long as the stock area and the stock output point is kept clear,
the internal fan will function normally. The Unit has been designed so that the stock
itself cannot block the fan input.
3.3 Plugging into the Unit
The Unit requires two physical connections.
1. An IEC 320 power connection accepting 110/220 VAC (50/60Hz).
2. A standard RS-232 interface connection. The Unit has a DB-25 female pin connector and is configured as a DTE
connection. A simple null-modem cable connection quickly interfaces the Unit to a standard connection on a typical
PC-based host system.
3. Optional interfaces include parallel, dual serial, and Ethernet. These interfaces are accessible from the optional
interface plate location shown below.
