Section I - Scanning, Layouts, Mounting
Active Scan Area
The Symbol LS7808 is designed to be installed in the counter, with the
face of the scanner flush with the counter top.
The figure below shows a typical layout. The dotted area depicts the
active scan area and the arrow shows the optimal direction of product
flow. The scanner’s active scan zone extends about 6 in. (15.24 cm)
above the window and is angled at approximately 38° from the counter.
Typical Layouts
The illustrations below show typical Symbol LS7808 installations
with various options, as noted. For best operating results, locate
the power supply at least 4 in. (10.16 cm) below the scanner
chassis or 2 in. (5.08 cm) away laterally.

Installation/Mounting
The Symbol LS7808-SR20007TCR and LS7808-SR2X009SCR require
a stainless steel in-counter mounting kit (p/n 12-17206-02R) for
installation. There are two options for installing this model using the
kit, also known as a bucket. The steps for installation options A and B
follow.

Option A - Resting on the Counter Top
1. Cut a hole in the counter 6.26 in. (159 mm) square, as shown in the
illustration below.
2. Place the bucket into the hole.
3. Unscrew and remove the scanner connector cover.
4. Place the scanner on the counter near the bucket.
5. Route the cables from beneath the hole and attach to the scanner
as shown in Typical Layouts on page 4.
6. Reattach the connector cover and tighten the screws.
7. Lower the scanner into the bucket.
IMPORTANT Always reattach the connector cover and tighten the
screws after all cables are connected to the scanner ports. The
connector cover ensures that all cables are properly situated and
connections are secure.

Option B - Flush with the Counter Top
1. On the counter top, measure two concentric squares: an inside
square of 6.81 in. (173 mm) and an outside square of 7.91 in. (201
mm), as shown in the illustration below.
2. Cut out the 6.81 in. (173 mm) inner square.
3. With a router set to a depth of .05 in. (1.2 mm), route out the outside
square. The corner radius should not exceed 0.2 in. (5 mm). Ensure
the outside square is concentric with the inside square.
4. Place the bucket into the hole.
5. Unscrew and remove the scanner connector cover.
6. Place the scanner on the counter near the bucket.
7. Route the cables from beneath the hole and attach to the scanner as
shown in Typical Layouts on page 4.
8. Reattach the connector and tighten the screws.
9. Lower the scanner into the bucket.
IMPORTANT Always reattach the connector cover and tighten the
screws after all cables are connected to the scanner ports. The
connector cover ensures that all cables are properly situated and
connections are secure.

Mounting Instructions and EAS Installation Guide 9
Section II - Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS)
The Symbol LS7808-SR20007TCR and LS7808-SR2X009SCR include
an EAS antenna. The scanner and EAS system can operate
independently of each other, or using an exclusive interlock feature. The
deactivation range is mapped suitable to the scanning range, so both
can be accomplished almost simultaneously. The interlock feature
requires a good decode signal to activate the EAS system.
The scanner’s integrated EAS deactivation antenna requires an EAS
host cable. This Y-cable connects to the scanner’s host port at one end
and splits to the host and the EAS system at the other end.
Checkpoint® EAS Model Compatibility
The EAS cable is intended for use with Checkpoint CP-VII and CP-IX
systems. It does not support CP-IV and other low-power receiver-based
EAS deactivation systems.
Considerations
The Checkpoint EAS system operates by generating a periodic burst of
energy which deactivates EAS tags brought into proximity of the
scanner. Unless proper precautions are taken, this field may interfere
with the scanner’s operation.The following criteria must be observed
when installing EAS:
• The antenna box must be as far as possible (minimum 6 in. or
15.24 cm) from the scanner.
• The scanner (with integrated EAS antenna), EAS antenna box, EAS
control cable and EAS controller box must be as far as possible from
the scanner’s host and power cables. For a typical EAS installation,
see Typical Layouts on page 4.
• The counter in which the EAS antenna is installed must be made of
non-metallic materials. Metallic counters or metal objects in proximity
to the scanner interfere with EAS Deactivation.
CAUTION Do not attempt to activate the interlock feature. Activation
instructions are for a Symbol qualified technician only.

10 Symbol LS7808 Horizontal Slot Scanner
• If two antenna boxes are connected to the controller box, each of
them must be connected to a scanner (antenna). If one is left
unconnected, communications errors may occur. If only one antenna
is in use, disconnect the other antenna box at the controller box.
Deactivation for Sensormatic EAS System
To interface to Sensormatic systems, contact Symbol Product
Management.
Connecting the EAS Antenna
A host interface cable with EAS leads from Symbol is required. The EAS
leads are connected by Checkpoint Systems, Inc.
Contact your local Checkpoint representative to install the EAS cable to
the Checkpoint Deactivation System. To contact a representative, call
800-257-5540 (in the United States) or 609-848-1800 (outside the United
States).
Connecting the EAS Interlock
To activate the EAS system independent of the scanner, or combine the
two in an exclusive interlock feature, refer to the appropriate parameters
in the Symbol LS7808 Horizontal Slot Scanner Product Reference
Guide, p/n 72E-73952-xx.
The interlock feature discourages “sweetheart shopping.” These are
instances where some customers are favored and not all items are
scanned. The interlock prohibits the deactivation of the EAS tag without
the item being scanned first.

Symbol LS7808 Interlock Cable and EAS
To connect the EAS interlock feature to the scanner:
1. Peel off the EAS sticker on the bottom of the scanner. The sticker
covers the EAS interlock port.
2. Plug the EAS interlock cable into the port.
3. Attach the other end to the EAS system.
NOTE Refer to the Symbol LS7808 Horizontal Slot Scanner Product
Reference Guide, p/n 72E-73952-xx, to scan the proper bar
code to activate this feature.

If you have a problem using the equipment, contact your facility’s Technical or
Systems Support. If there is a problem with the equipment, they will contact the
Motorola Enterprise Mobility Support at: http:www.symbol.com/contactsupport.
