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.  
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.  
SITE REQUIREMENTS  
Before installing your StratosS scanner, please consider the following items.  
Vertical Clearance  
A minimum clearance height of 5.25" from the checkout counter surface is needed for the vertical 'hood' on all of the scanner  
models.  
Ventilation and Spacing  
All StratosS models 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.  
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.  
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: Interface 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 StratosS to facilitate 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 StratosS can scan a bar code on five 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.

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  
Figure 13  
3. Lift the scanner out of the shipping box by gripping the bottom of the  
unit on both sides.  
Important! Do not lift the unit out of the box by gripping the sides of the  
platter.  
4. Carefully remove the shipping foam around the unit.  
Important! Do not turn the unit upside down or tilt the unit onto its side  
while removing the shipping foam. The platter is not attached  
to the unit and can fall off!  
Figure 14  
5. Lift the platter off the unit and store it in a safe location until the unit is  
installed in the checkout counter.  
Once the unit has been properly installed in the checkout counter,  
remove all protective film covering the platter’s horizontal window,  
the horizontal window under the platter on the unit base, and the  
vertical window. The unit will not function properly if the  
protective films are not removed.

INSTALLATION  
CABLE INSTALLATION (INTERFACE SPECIFIC)  
RS232  
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an RS232 StratosS application. The scanner must then be  
configured to match the host’s RS232 parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the StratosS will  
communicate properly with the host system.  
Configuration bar codes are located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407x) and the  
MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (MLPN 00-02034x).  
1. Turn off the host system.  
2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the RS232 interface cable (MLPN 57-57210x-N-3)  
into the 10-pin socket labeled Scanner Host RS232, on the bottom of the SratosS. Refer to figure on page 17.  
3. Connect the other end of the RS232 cable to the proper communication port on the host device.  
Before continuing, verify that the RS232 interface cable is connected to the appropriate interface socket on the  
scanner. An incorrect cable connection can cause communication problems or potential damage to the scanner  
and/or terminal.  
4. Plug the external power supply (MLPN 46-002xx) into the 3-pin Molex socket labeled, DC Power In, on the bottom of the  
StratosS.  
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. The switch should be located on the operator’s side of the  
checkout counter in close proximity to the StratosS to facilitate calibration and service of the unit.  
5. Connect AC power to the transformer. If the AC outlet is equipped with an on/off switch, turn the power on.  
6. Turn on the host system.  
7. Scan the recall Recall Defaults bar code.  
The Recall Defaults bar code is located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407x), under Need to  
Start Over.  
8. Configure the StratosS to match the host system’s RS232 parameters.  
Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407x) under Section G: RS232 for enabling RS232

CABLE INSTALLATION (INTERFACE SPECIFIC)  
FULL SPEED USB  
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for a Full Speed USB StratosS application. The scanner must  
then be configured to match the host’s USB parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the StratosS will  
communicate properly with the host system.  
Configuration bar codes are located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407x) and the  
MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (MLPN 00-02034x).  
1. Turn off the host system.  
2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the USB interface cable (MLPN 57-57201x-N-3 or 57-57227x-N-3) into the 10-pin socket  
labeled, Scanner Host USB, on the bottom of the StratosS. Refer to Figure on page 19.  
3. Connect the other end of the USB interface cable to the appropriate USB port on the host device.  
Before continuing verify that the USB interface cable is connected to the appropriate socket on the scanner. An  
incorrect cable connection can cause communication problems or potential damage to the scanner and/or terminal.  
Manufacturers Note: Plugging the scanner into the USB port of the host does not guarantee that scanned  
information will appear at the host. A software driver and correct configuration setting are also required for proper  
communication to occur.  
4. Plug the external power supply (MLPN 46-002xx) into the 3-pin Molex socket labeled, DC Power In, on the bottom of the  
StratosS.  
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. The switch should be located on the operator’s side of the  
checkout counter in close proximity to the StratosS to facilitate calibration and service of the unit.  
5. Connect AC power to the transformer. If the AC outlet is equipped with an on/off switch, turn the power on.

CABLE INSTALLATION (SECONDARY METROLOGIC SCANNER)  
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables between a secondary Metrologic scanner and the StratosS.  
The StratosS and the secondary scanner must then be configured to communicate properly. Cable installation alone does  
not guarantee that the StratosS will communicate properly with the host system and secondary scanner.  
Contact a Metrologic customer service representative before connecting another manufacturer’s scanner to the  
StratosS as a secondary scanner.  
Configuration bar codes are located in the  
MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (MLPN 00-02034x) under Scanner Configuration Bar Codes:  
Auxiliary Port, Quick Start for a Secondary Metrologic Scanners.  
1. Refer to pages 16 - 22 for the type of interface (RS232, IBM 46xx, etc.) required for your application. Follow the cable  
installation steps under the appropriate interface before continuing. Once the communication and power cables have  
been installed follow step 2 below for the secondary scanner installation.  
2. Connect the straight end of the RS232 PowerLink AUX cable (MLPN 57-57099x-3) into the RS232 socket of the secondary  
scanner (see figure on page 25).  
3. Connect the angled end of the RS232 AUX cable (MLPN 57-57099x-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled Aux RS232 In, on  
the bottom of the StratosS.  
Important: The StratosS series’ aux port requires the signals; transmit, receive, RTS & CTS from the secondary scanner.  
StratosS’ auxiliary port will support 5VDC devices with a 150mA maximum current. If the auxiliary device exceeds  
this specification an external power supply will be required to power the auxiliary device.  
The following Metrologic scanners can receive power from StratosS: the MS9520, MS9540, and the MS5145.  
4. This step is required for secondary devices that require >5VDC and/or 150mA current to operate. Skip to step 5 if  
the secondary device requires 5VDC.  
Plug the power supply into the secondary scanner’s PowerLink cable (MLPN 57-57099x-3) and connect AC power to the  
secondary 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.  
5. Configure the StratosS and the secondary scanner. The auxiliary input port’s data format must match the main output  
format of the secondary scanner.

SCANNER OPERATION  
INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS  
Audible  
When in operation the StratosS 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, 6 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.  
One Beep  
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.  
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and the scanner beeps once (if configured to do  
so). If the scanner does not beep once and the white light does not flash, then the bar code has not been successfully read.  
Razzberry Tone  
This is a failure indicator. Refer to failure modes on page 31.  
Three Beeps - during operation  
When placing the scanner in configuration mode, the white LED will flash while the scanner simultaneously beeps three  
times. The white and blue LEDs will continue to flash until the unit exits configuration mode. Upon exiting configuration  
mode, the scanner will beep three times and the white LED will stop flashing.  
When configured, three beeps can also indicate a communications timeout during normal scanning mode.  
When using one-code-configuring, the scanner will beep three times (the current selected tone), followed by a short pause,  
a high tone and a low tone. This tells the user that the single configuration bar code has successfully configured the  
scanner.  
Three Beeps - on power up  
This is a failure indicator. Refer to failure modes on page 31.  
Descending Tone  
The scanner will emit a descending tone when the microprocessor is about to Flash upgrade.  
Ascending Tone  
The scanner will emit an ascending tone when the interface coprocessor is about to Flash upgrade.  
Visual  
White and blue LEDs are located near the bottom corner of the vertical  
output window. When the scanner is ON, the flashing or constant,  
illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the StratosS and the  
current scan.  
Figure 31. LEDs  
No White or Blue LED  
The LEDs will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving power from the host or transformer.  
They are also not illuminated when all lasers are turned off.

SCANNER OPERATION  
INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS  
Visual  
Steady Blue  
When all lasers are active, the blue LED is illuminated. The blue LED will remain illuminated until all lasers are deactivated.  
Steady Blue and Single White Flash  
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the white LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. If the white LED  
does not flash or the scanner does not beep once, then the bar code has not been successfully read.  
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 program mode. A razzberry tone indicates that an invalid bar code has been scanned  
in this mode.  
or  
If the unit is in sleep mode, each LED will flash once every 15 seconds.  
Steady White, Blue Off  
This indicates the scanner may be waiting for communication from the host.  
Flashing Blue  
This indicates there is an error active on the diagnostic indicator display (see Error Codes on page 32).  
The scanner may continue to operate depending on the type of error.  
Failure Modes  
Flashing Blue and One Razzberry Tone  
This indicates that the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. The scanner will try up to 3 times to correct the  
failure condition. If the laser subsystem continues to fail, that subsystem (horizontal or vertical) will be shut down and an  
error indication will be shown on the Diagnostic Indicator Display. This error stays on the display until corrected. If the  
remaining subsystem is still operational, scanning will continue using the operational components.  
Flashing Blue and White and Two Razzberry Tones  
This indicates that the scanner has experienced a motor subsystem failure. The scanner will try up to 3 times to correct the  
failure condition. If the motor subsystem continues to fail, that subsystem (horizontal or vertical) will be shut down and an  
error indication will be shown on the Diagnostic Indicator Display. This error stays on the display until corrected. If the  
remaining subsystem is still operational, scanning will continue using the still operational components.  
Continuous Razzberry Tone with Both LEDs Off  
If, upon power up, the scanner emits a continuous razzberry tone, then the scanner has an electronic failure. Return the unit  
for repair at an authorized service center.  
Three Beeps - On Power Up  
If the scanner beeps 3 times on power up then, the nonvolatile memory that holds the scanner configuration has failed.  
Return the unit for repair at an authorized service center.

INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS  
Diagnostic Indicator Display  
There is a two-digit error code display located under horizontal output window near the Metrologic logo on the platter (see  
figure below).  
Figure 32. Error Code Display (Optional Product Roll Bar Shown)  
The following is a list of possible error codes and their meanings. Some errors will require immediate scanner maintenance.  
ERROR  
CODE  
DESCRIPTION  
01  
02  
Reserved  
RAM ERROR – The scanner’s Random Access Memory (RAM) is tested as faulty. Return the unit for repair at an  
authorized service center.  
03  
04  
PROGRAM ERROR – The scanner’s software program is failing. Return the unit for repair.  
INTERFACE ERROR – After power up and any application exit (e.g. MetroSet, etc.), the scanner checks the  
interface hardware with that chosen in configuration. If they do not agree, an interface error exists. Correct this  
problem by getting the proper hardware interface OR programming StratosS configuration for the proper interface  
hardware attached.  
CONFIGURATION ERROR – The non-volatile configuration memory did not agree with the data last saved.  
Default configuration data is then used and the scanner continues operating. This error is also accompanied by 3  
beeps. This error will remain during operation as a reminder that this power cycle is scanning against a default-  
generated configuration.  
05  
06  
COMMUNICATION ERROR – The RS232 data line is being held active. This causes the scanner to read a  
“break” signal constantly and continuous attempts are made to enter MetroSet configuration mode. A short on the  
RX Data line can cause this condition. It can also be the result of a laptop in power save mode. The scanner will  
abort attempts to enter configuration mode after a short timeout. The scanner can automatically recover from this  
condition once the short in the RX Data line is corrected.  
COPROCESSOR COMMUNICATION ERROR – The main microprocessor is not communicating with the interface  
coprocessor. The interface coprocessor may be in a fault condition with the host or just not able to respond. This  
error may appear when the scanner is configured for USB or IBM interface applications or during an attempt to  
update the interface software through the flash utility. The unit should be repaired at an authorized service center.

The StratosS has five configurable power save modes. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide 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.  
Any movement detected by the IR will “wake” the scanner from the Laser Off power save mode (see Figure 30  
on page 29).  
3. Laser & Motor Off Power Save Mode:  
Turns the laser and motor OFF after a configured period of non-use.  
Any movement detected by the IR will “wake” the scanner from the power save mode (see Figure 30 on page 29).  
This mode’s “wake” time is slightly longer due to the motor’s need to restart.  
4. Dual Action Power Save Mode #1:  
“Blinks” the laser OFF & ON after a configured period of non-use turns the laser and motor OFF at thirty-minute intervals.  
Example:  
If the power save timeout is set to 15 minutes.  
Any movement detected by the IR will “wake” the scanner from the power save mode (see Figure 30 on page 29).  
5. Dual Action Power Save Mode #2 (Default):  
Turns the laser OFF after a configured period of non-use then turns the motor OFF after thirty-minute intervals.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Symptom  
Possible Cause(s)  
Solution  
All Interfaces  
The print quality of the bar  
code is suspect.  
The type of printer and/or the printer settings could be the  
problem.  
Scanner beeps at some  
bar codes and NOT form  
others of the same bar  
code symbology.  
Check the character length  
lock.  
Check the print mode or change the printer settings. For  
example change to econo mode or high speed.  
The aspect ratio of the bar  
code is out of tolerance.  
The unit is trying to scan a  
particular symbology that is  
not enabled.  
UPC/EAN and Code 128 are enabled by default. Verify that  
the type of bar code being read has been selected.  
The unit powers up but  
does not scan and/or  
beep.  
The unit has been  
configured for a character  
length lock or a minimum  
length and the bar code  
being scanned does not  
satisfy the configured  
criteria.  
Verify that the bar code that is being scanned falls into the  
criteria.  
Typical of Non-UPC/EAN codes. The scanner defaults to a  
minimum of 4 character bar code.  
The bar code may have  
been printed incorrectly.  
Check if it is a check digit, character or border problem.  
Check if check digits are set properly.  
The unit beeps at some  
bar codes but NOT for  
others of the same bar  
code symbology.  
The scanner is not  
configured correctly for this  
type of bar code.  
The minimum symbol length  
setting does not work with  
the bar code.  
Check if the correct minimum symbol length is set.  
RS232 Only  
The com port at the host is  
not working or is not  
configured properly.  
The unit powers up OK  
and scans OK but does  
not communicate properly  
to the host.  
Check to make sure that the baud rate and parity of the  
scanner and the communication port match and the program is  
looking for RS232 data.  
The cable is not connected  
to the proper com port.  
The com port is not  
operating properly.

Symptom  
Possible Cause(s)  
Solution  
RS232 Only  
The host is receiving  
data but the data  
does not look correct.  
The scanner and host may not be  
configured for the same interface.  
Check that the scanner and the host are configured for the  
same interface.  
Add some intercharacter delay to the transmitted output by  
using the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-  
02407x).  
Characters are being The intercharacter delay needs to be

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 StratosS.  
Ensure that the secondary scanner is connected to the  
MS2220 com port marked “Aux” port.  
The secondary  
scanner powers up  
but data is not  
relayed to the host.  
* The StratosS must be configured to enable the auxiliary  
port.  
The auxiliary com port may not be  
operating properly.  
The auxiliary input port’s data format must match the main  
output format of the secondary scanner.  
* Refer to the MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (MLPN 00-02034x) under Scanner Configuration Bar  
Codes: Auxiliary Port, Quick Start for a Secondary Metrologic Scanner.  
RS232 DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM  
If an RS232 scanner is not communicating with your IBM compatible PC, key in the following BASIC program to test that  
the communication port and scanner are working. This program is for demonstration purposes only. It is only intended to  
prove that cabling is correct, the com port is working, and the scanner is working. If the bar code data displays on the  
screen while using this program, it only demonstrates that the hardware interface and scanner are working. At this point,  
investigate whether the application software and the scanner configuration match. If the application does not support  
RS232 scanners, a software wedge program that will take RS232 data and place it into a keyboard buffer may be needed.  
This program tells the PC to ignore RTS-CTS, Data Set Ready (DSR) and Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signals. If the  
demonstration program works and yours still does not, jumper RTS to CTS and Data Terminal Reading (DTR) to DCD and  
DSR on the back of your PC.

Caution  
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser  
light exposure. Under no circumstances should the customer attempt to service the laser scanner. Never attempt to look at the  
laser beam, even if the scanner appears to be nonfunctional. Never open the scanner in an attempt to look into the device.  
Doing so could result in hazardous laser light exposure. The use of optical instruments with the laser equipment will increase  
eye hazard.  
Atención  
La modificación de los procedimientos, o la utilización de controles o ajustes distintos de los especificados aquí, pueden  
provocar una luz de láser peligrosa. Bajo ninguna circunstancia el usuario deberá realizar el mantenimiento del láser del  
escáner. Ni intentar mirar al haz del láser incluso cuando este no esté operativo. Tampoco deberá abrir el escáner para  
examinar el aparato. El hacerlo puede conllevar una exposición peligrosa a la luz de láser. El uso de instrumentos ópticos con  
el equipo láser puede incrementar el riesgo para la vista.  
Attention  
L'emploi de commandes, réglages ou procédés autres que ceux décrits ici peut entraîner de graves irradiations. Le client ne  
doit en aucun cas essayer d'entretenir lui-même le scanner ou le laser. Ne regardez jamais directement le rayon laser, même  
si vous croyez que le scanner est inactif. N'ouvrez jamais le scanner pour regarder dans l'appareil. Ce faisant, vous vous  
exposez à une rayonnement laser qú êst hazardous. L'emploi d'appareils optiques avec cet équipement laser augmente le  
risque d'endommagement de la vision.  
Achtung  
Die Verwendung anderer als der hier beschriebenen Steuerungen, Einstellungen oder Verfahren kann eine gefährliche  
Laserstrahlung hervorrufen. Der Kunde sollte unter keinen Umständen versuchen, den Laser-Scanner selbst zu warten.  
Sehen Sie niemals in den Laserstrahl, selbst wenn Sie glauben, daß der Scanner nicht aktiv ist. Öffnen Sie niemals den  
Scanner, um in das Gerät hineinzusehen. Wenn Sie dies tun, können Sie sich einer gefährlichen Laserstrahlung aussetzen.  
Der Einsatz optischer Geräte mit dieser Laserausrüstung erhöht das Risiko einer Sehschädigung.  
Attenzione  
L’utilizzo di sistemi di controllo, di regolazioni o di procedimenti diversi da quelli descritti nel presente Manuale può provocare  
delle esposizioni a raggi laser rischiose. Il cliente non deve assolutamente tentare di riparare egli stesso lo scanner laser. Non  
guardate mai il raggio laser, anche se credete che lo scanner non sia attivo. Non aprite mai lo scanner per guardare dentro  
l’apparecchio. Facendolo potete esporVi ad una esposizione laser rischiosa. L’uso di apparecchi ottici, equipaggiati con raggi  
laser, aumenta il rischio di danni alla vista.
