Installation
Quick Installation Outline
The following is a quick preview of the steps required for first 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.
Calibrate the Diva scale.
Site Requirements
Before installing your MS2420/MS2430 scanner/Diva scale, 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 MS2420 and MS2430 models have a die-cast housing to dissipate heat allowing the unit to operate without
a ventilation fan. The temperature surrounding the unit is recommended not to 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/Diva 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 beginning on page 18 of this guide for detailed cutout dimensions and mounting instructions.

Site Requirements
Service Access
When routing and installing the cable(s) and power supply, make sure you leave access 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, removing the unit completely from the checkout
counter is recommended.
When calibrating or zeroing the scale, do not remove the unit from the checkout counter. Refer to the Scale
Operation Section beginning on page 47 of this guide for detailed instructions on zeroing and calibration.
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.
Note: A switched AC outlet is recommended. The switch should be located on the operator’s side of the
checkout counter in close proximity to the MS2420/MS2430 to 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 MS2420 and MS2430 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.

(see Figure 14)!
Figure 14. Protective shipping foam and lining.
Note: 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.
Installing the Unit in the Counter
Before starting to mount the MS2420/MS2430 determine:
the scanner's orientation in reference to the operator and the direction of package flow,
the mounting method that provides the most stability for the scanner, and
if any additional materials or tools are required for installation.
Lifting the Unit by the Finger Recesses
There are two finger recesses located under the removable
platter near the base of the vertical window. These finger
recesses are provided to assist in installation when placing
the unit in the checkout counter cutout (see Figure 15).
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 finger
recesses. The unit may tilt forward when lifted by the
finger recesses if it is not stabilized making installation in
the countertop cutout difficult.

Cable Installation (Interface Specific)
RS485
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for a RS485 application. The scanner/Diva
scale must then be configured to match the host’s RS485 parameters. Cable installation alone does not
guarantee that the scanner will communicate properly with the host system.
Note: Configuration bar codes are located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (PN 00-02407x) and the
MS2x20 Stratos Series Scanner/Diva Scale Configuration Addendum (PN 00-02272x).
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the RS485 interface cable (PN 57-57212x-N-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled
‘Scanner Host 46xx’ on the bottom of the scanner. Refer to the figure on page 28.
3. Connect the other end of the RS485 cable to communication port 9 on the host device.
Stop: Before continuing, verify that the RS485 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.
Note: Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the host device does not guarantee that scanned
information will appear at the host device. A software driver and correct configuration settings are
also required for proper communication to occur.
Steps 4 and 5 are for dual cable interfaces where the scale and the scanner connect to the host with their own
separate communication cables. Skip to step 6 for a single cable interface where the scale and scanner
connect to the host with a single cable.
4. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the dual interface cable (PN 57-57000x-N-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled
‘Scale RS232 to Host’ on the bottom of the bottom of the scanner.
5. Connect the other end of the dual interface cable (PN 57-57000x-N-3) into the appropriate communication
port on the host’s scale.
6. Plug the optional remote scale display cable (PN 46-00375, 46-00376, or 46-00377) into the 10-pin socket
labeled ‘Scale to Display’ on the bottom of the scanner.
7. Plug the external power supply (46-002xx) into the 3-pin Molex socket labeled ‘DC Power In’ on the bottom
of the scanner.
Note: 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.
Using a switched AC outlet is recommended. The switch should be located on the operator’s side
of the checkout counter in close proximity to the scanner to facilitate calibration and service of the
unit.
8. Connect AC power to the transformer. If the AC outlet is equipped with an on/off switch, turn the power on.

Cable Installation (Secondary Honeywell Scanner)
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables between a secondary Honeywell scanner and
the MS2420/MS2430. The MS2420/MS2430 and the secondary scanner must then be configured to
communicate properly. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the MS2420/MS2430 will
communicate properly with the host system and secondary scanner.
Note: Contact a customer service representative before connecting another manufacturer’s scanner to the
MS2420/MS2430 as a secondary scanner.
Configuration bar codes are located in the MS2x20 Stratos Series Scanner/Diva Scale Configuration
Addendum (PN 00-02272x) under Scanner Configuration Bar Codes: Auxiliary Port, Quick Start for a
Secondary Honeywell Scanner.
1. Refer to pages 22 - 27 for the type of interface (RS232, RS485, 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 (PN 57-57099x-3 or PN 57-57099x-3-12) into
the RS232 socket of the secondary scanner (see figure on page 30).
3. Connect the angled end of the RS232 AUX cable (PN 57-57099x-3 or PN 57-57099x-3-12) into the 10-pin
socket labeled ‘Aux RS232 In’ on the bottom of the MS2420/MS2430.
Important: The MS2420/MS2430 series’ aux port requires the signals; transmit, receive, RTS & CTS
from the secondary scanner.
For Rev G Units or later: The MS2420/MS2430’s auxiliary port will support 5VDC devices with a
700mA maximum current.
For Rev F units or earlier: The MS2420/MS2430’s 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 Honeywell scanners can receive power from MS2420/MS2430: the
MS9520, MS9540, and the MS5145.
4. This step is required for secondary devices that require >5VDC and/or 700mA current to operate. Skip to
step 5 if the secondary device requires ≤ 5VDC. Plug the power supply into the secondary scanner’s
PowerLink cable (PN 57-57099x-3 or PN 57-57099x-3-12) and connect AC power to the secondary
scanner.
Note:
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 MS2420/MS2430 and the secondary scanner. The auxiliary input port’s data format must
match the main output format of the secondary scanner.
Note:
Refer to the MS2x20 Stratos Series Scanner/Diva Scale Configuration Addendum

Audible Indicators
When in operation the MS2420/MS2430 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, six 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 blue LED will flash then the blue LED will stay on and the scanner
will beep once. The scanner is now ready to scan.
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the blue LED will flash and the scanner beeps once (if
configured to do so). If the scanner does not beep once and the blue 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 39.
Three Beeps - during operation
When placing the scanner in configuration mode, the blue LED will flash while the scanner simultaneously
beeps three times. The blue LED will continue to flash until the unit exits configuration mode. Upon exiting
configuration mode, the scanner will beep three times and the blue 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 39.

Visual Indicators
Blue LED is located near the bottom corner of the vertical output
window on the MS2420/MS2430. When the scanner is ON, the
flashing or constant, illumination of the LED indicates the status of
the MS2420/MS2430 and the current scan. There is an additional
amber LED next to the scale zero symbol on all MS2420/MS2430
models that include a scale (see Figure 32).
No Blue LED
The blue LED will not be illuminated if the scanner is not receiving
power from the host or transformer. It is also not illuminated when
all lasers are turned off for any reason.
Figure 30. LED
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 blue Flash
When the scanner successfully reads a bar code, the blue LED will flash and the scanner will beep once. If the
blue LED does not flash or the scanner does not beep once, then the bar code has not been successfully read.
Steady 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 blue LED will remain on until the data can be transmitted.
Flashing Blue
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, the blue LED will flash once every 15 seconds.
or
This indicates there is an error active on the diagnostic indicator display (see Error Codes on page 40). The
scanner may continue to operate depending on the type of error.
Blue LED Off
This indicates the scanner may be waiting for communication from the host.
Steady Amber LED
The amber LED is illuminated when the scale is at zero.

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 three
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 Two Razzberry Tones
This indicates that the scanner has experienced a motor subsystem failure. The scanner will try up to three
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 LED 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 three 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.

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 MS2420/MS2430 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 three 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.

Calibration
The scanner/Diva scale must be calibrated if:
it is a first time installation
the scale cannot be re-zeroed
the calibration verification tests indicate errors
there is a change in the units of measure [i.e. from pounds (lbs.) to kilograms (kg)]
if the scale load cell has been replaced
the calibration seal is missing or torn
Note: The certification of the weighing mechanism of the scale version of this scanner is subject to federal,
state and local Weights and Measures statutes and regulations and can only be performed by
authorized government agencies and/or their duly registered agents. Each time the scale or weighing
mechanism is calibrated, it should be properly sealed with a paper seal or a wire seal prior to being
placed into service in commerce.
It is the responsibility of the owner of the scale to confirm compliance with the relevant Weights and
Measures statutes and regulations applicable in your area by checking with the appropriate government
agency before placing a newly calibrated unit into service or removing any official seals.
Tools Required
Field Standard 30.0 pound Weight Set or 15.0 kilogram Weight Set
Phillips #1 Screw Driver
Wire or Paper Seal
Note: Type of seal to be used will depend on the guidelines specified by the local Weights and
Measures authorities.
Scale Calibration Methods
Scale Calibration with Remote Display uses the scale display to sequence through the calibration steps
and store critical calibration points.
Bar Code Scale Calibration without Remote Display* uses the scanner / scale only and assumes there
is no remote scale display. A bar code is used to initiate the calibration sequence and the Multi-Functional
Button (see page 44) is used to store critical range values.
* This calibration procedure will work with the remote display connected to the MS2420/MS2430 but no
data will appear on the remote display.
