Caution: To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must meet the requirements for SELV
(Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN/IEC 60950-1.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1/UL 60950-1 and norm EN/IEC 60950-1, the power source
should meet applicable performance requirements for a limited power source.

INSTALLATION
QUICK INSTALLATION OUTLINE
The following is a quick preview of the steps required for 1st time installations. Each item is discussed in detail later in this
section.
•Determine clearance, ventilation and service access requirements.
•Determine checkout counter layout taking into account package flow, cable routing and power requirements.
•Choose the mounting option which provides the best cable/power access and unit stability.
•Unpack the unit and remove the shipping hardware from the scale arms.
•Make the appropriate countertop cutouts and install all support brackets.
•Place the unit in the counter.
•Install the platter.
•Follow the steps under the correct interface to connect the cables and power supply.
•Configure the unit for the correct interface.
•Calibrate the scale.
SITE REQUIREMENTS
Before installing your StratosHscanner, please consider the following items.
Vertical Clearance
A minimum clearance height of 7.00" from the checkout counter surface is needed for the vertical 'hood' on all of the scanner
models.
Ventilation and Spacing
All StratosHmodels have a die-cast housing to dissipate heat allowing the unit to operate without a ventilation fan. Metrologic
recommends that the temperature surrounding the unit does not exceed 40°C (104°F). There should be adequate convection
and minimal heat producing equipment in close proximity of the unit. A cooling fan with a filter is recommended if there will be
a conveyor motor or other heat producing equipment close to the unit that will create a high temperature environment.
Adequate spacing between the unit and the checkout counter opening is required for proper operation of the scale. When the
scanner/scale model is mounted properly, the scale platter should be able to move up and down freely without hitting the
edges of the checkout counter cutout. Refer to Installing the Unit in the Counter for detailed cutout dimensions and mounting
instructions.
Service Access
When routing and installing the cable(s) and power supply, make sure you leave access so that these components may be
swapped easily without the need to remove the unit from the checkout counter.
When changing the StratosSWAP™ optics engine modules, Metrologic recommends removing the unit completely from the
checkout counter.
When calibrating or zeroing the scale, do not remove the unit from the checkout counter. Refer to the Scale Operation Section
of this guide for detailed instructions on zeroing and calibration.

11
INSTALLATION
QUICK INSTALLATION OUTLINE
POWER INSTALLATION
The Power Supply (AC/DC) should be connected to an AC Outlet that is free of electrical noise (clean). A qualified electrician
can determine the amount of electrical noise on the AC line. See additional information on power installation and restrictions
under the Installation: Cable Installation (Interface Specific) section of this manual.
Metrologic recommends using a switched AC outlet. The switch should be located on the operator’s side of the
checkout counter in close proximity to the StratosHto facilitate calibration and service of the unit.
Checkout Counter Layout Considerations
When placing a scanner in a checkout counter, the following factors should be considered.
•Items should flow at a distance to the operator that maximizes comfort. The operator should not need to stretch or strain
to reach for and scan packages.
•The StratosHcan scan a bar code on six sides of a package. The packages should flow into the scan area that provides
the maximum reading performance. No lifting or orientation of the items is necessary. A properly placed item diverter can
maximize the flow of packages.
•In what direction are the packages flowing? Most checkout counters are designed for left-handed takeaway. If the
operator is facing the vertical window of the scanner, packages flow from the operator's right to left. The packages are in
queue on the conveyor to the right and the bagging is to the left.

12
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING THE UNIT
1. Make sure the shipping box is top-side up before opening.
2. Remove the accessories box and check the box’s content
for the following items.
•Product Manuals
•Power Supply
•Communication Cables
•Remote Scale Display Pole (Optional)
3. Carefully remove the platter and store it in a safe location
until the unit is properly installed into the checkout counter.
4. Remove all loose packing materials from the box.
5. Lift the MS2320 scanner out of the box by carefully
grasping both sides near the center of the unit and lifting
directly up. Refer to Figure 13 for hand placement.
Important! Do not remove the MS2320 scanner from the
box by grabbing the shipping foam. This can
result in the unit falling!
6. Carefully remove the shipping foam from around
the MS2320 scanner.

INSTALLATION
UNPACKING THE UNIT
MS2320 Package Warning
There is a protective film located on the topside platter surface, vertical scan windows outer surface, and the horizontal scan
windows top surface. This film must be removed prior to performing any scanner operation (see Figure 15).
All foam wedges securing the scale arms during shipping must be removed or the scale will not function (see Figure 15)!
Do not discard these instructions and shipping foam wedges! If the unit is going to be reshipped at any time
this foam must be reinstalled prevent damage to the scale arms during shipping.
There is a protective sheet layered behind the Vertical Scan Window which must be removed or the MS2320 scanning ability
will be greatly reduced (see Figure 16).
Lifting the Unit by the Handles
There are two handles located under the removable platter
near the base of the vertical window. These handles are
provided to assist in installation when placing the unit in the
checkout counter cutout.
To decrease the risk of dropping the unit during
installation, rest both thumbs against the vertical window
frame for added stability when lifting the unit by the
handles. The unit will tilt forward when lifted by the handles if
it is not stabilized making installation in the countertop cutout
difficult.
