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.  
Calibrate the Diva scale.  
SITE REQUIREMENTS  
Before installing your StratosS 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 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.  
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 14 of this guide for  
detailed cutout dimensions and mounting instructions.  
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, 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  
beginning on page 39 of this guide for detailed instructions on zeroing and calibration.

INSTALLATION  
SITE REQUIREMENTS  
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 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 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.

4. Remove both cardboard inserts from the box.  
Figure 12  
5. Lift the MS2220 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 MS2220 scanner from the  
box by grabbing the shipping foam. This can  
result in the unit falling!

INSTALLATION  
UNPACKING THE UNIT  
MS2220 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. These protective films must be removed prior to performing any scanner operation (see Figure 15).  
Both foam wedges securing the scale arms during shipping must be removed or the scale will not function (see Figure 15)!  
Figure 15. Protective shipping foam and lining.  
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 StratosS 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 16).  
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.

INSTALLATION  
CABLE INSTALLATION (INTERFACE SPECIFIC)  
RS232  
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an RS232 StratosS application. The scanner/Diva scale  
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  
MS2x20 Stratos Series Scanner/Diva Scale Configuration Addendum (MLPN 00-02272x).  
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 the 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.  
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 dual interface cable (MLPN 57-57000x-N-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled, Scale RS232 to Host, on the bottom  
of the StratosS.  
5. Connect the other end of the dual interface cable (MLPN 57-57000x-N-3) to the appropriate communication port on the  
host’s scale device.  
6. Plug the optional remote scale display cable (MLPN 46-00375, 46-00376, or 46-00377) into the 10-pin socket labeled,  
Scale to Display, on the bottom of the StratosS.  
7. Plug the external power supply (MLPN 46-002xx) into the 3-pin Molex socket labeled, DC Power In, on the bottom of the  
StratosS.

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 MS2x20 Stratos Series Scanner/Diva Scale Configuration Addendum  
(MLPN 00-02272x) under Scanner Configuration Bar Codes: Auxiliary Port, Quick Start for a Secondary Metrologic  
Scanner.  
1. Refer to pages 16 - 23 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 26).  
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.  
Refer to the MS2x20 Stratos Series Scanner/Diva Scale Configuration Addendum (MLPN 00-02272x) under

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 32.  
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 32.  
Visual  
White and blue LEDs are located near the bottom corner of the vertical output window on the StratosS. When the scanner is  
ON, the flashing or constant, illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the StratosS and the current scan. There is an  
additional amber LED next to the scale zero symbol on all StratosS models that include a scale (see figure below).  
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 for any reason.  
Steady Blue  
When all lasers are active, the blue LED is illuminated. The  
blue LED will remain illuminated until all lasers are  
deactivated.

INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS  
Visual (Continued)  
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 33). The scanner may  
continue to operate depending on the type of error.  
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 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.

The following is a list of possible error codes and their meanings. Some errors will require immediate scanner maintenance.  
ERROR  
CODE  
DESCRIPTION  
01  
Reserved  
RAM ERROR – The scanner’s Random Access Memory (RAM) is tested as faulty. Return the unit for repair at an  
authorized service center.  
02  
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  
09  
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.  
SWITCH ERROR – The switch used for volume selection or sleep mode is detected in error (always closed). The  
condition is self-correcting if possible. If the error persists, return the unit for repair at an authorized service center.  
The scanning operation can continue with this error active.

SCANNER OPERATION  
POWER SAVE MODES  
The MS2220 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 29  
on page 30).  
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 29 on page 30). 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.

SCANNER OPERATION  
STARTUP  
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.  
POWER-UP TEST MODE  
When a StratosS scanner is first powered up, it cycles through a number of self-tests before starting normal operation. If there  
are any initial failures during this sequence of tests the scanner will beep or razz to indicate the error and an error code will  
appear in the diagnostic indicator display.  
The following are examples of the types of tests performed at power-up.  
1. Memory tests  
2. Hardware setup tests  
3. Motor tests  
4. Laser tests  
5. Configuration tests  
6. Interface tests  
7. Scale tests  
These tests are also performed on a periodic basis with the operator alerted to any failures.  
CONFIGURATION MODE  
All MS2220 series scanners have been configured at the factory with a set of default communication protocols. Since many  
host systems have unique formats and protocol requirements, Metrologic provides a wide range of configurable features that  
may be selected with the use of the MetroSelect® Configuration Guide (MLPN 00-02407x), the MS2x20 Stratos Series  
Scanner/Diva Scale Configuration Addendum (MLPN 00-02272x) and MetroSet.  
For a complete list of the factory default settings, refer to the Default Settings section of this guide.

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 37) is  
used to store critical range values.  
* This calibration procedure will work with the remote display connected to the StratosS but no data will appear on the remote display.

DAILY MAINTENANCE  
Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code. Therefore, the horizontal and vertical output windows  
will need occasional cleaning.  
For the glass window:  
1. Spray glass cleaner onto lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth.  
2. Gently wipe the scanner window.  
For the inner plastic window:  
1. Use mild soap and water with lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth.  
2. Gently wipe the scanner window.  
For scaled StratosS units, routinely check and clean the base unit to ensure that no debris is interfering with the platter  
movement.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
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.

Many functions of the scanner can be "configured" - that is, enabled or disabled. The scanner is shipped from the factory pre-  
configured to a set of default conditions. The default parameter of the scanner has an asterisk ( * ) in the charts on the  
following pages. If an asterisk is not in the default column then the default setting is Off or Disabled. Every interface does not  
support every parameter. If the interface supports a parameter listed in the charts on the following pages, a check mark will

Laser Class 1: IEC 60825-1:1993+A1+A2, EN: 60825-1:1994+A1+A2  
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.
