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 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 the StratosH scanner, 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 StratosH models have a die-cast housing to dissipate heat allowing the unit to operate without a ventilation fan. Honeywell  
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 to 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, Honeywell 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.

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.  
Honeywell 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 StratosH 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 StratosH can 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.

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

INSTALLATION  
CABLE INSTALLATION (SECONDARY HONEYWELL SCANNER)  
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables between a secondary Honeywell scanner and the StratosH.  
The StratosH and the secondary scanner must then be configured to communicate properly. Cable installation alone does  
not guarantee that the StratosH will communicate properly with the host system and secondary scanner.  
Contact a customer service representative before connecting another manufacturer’s scanner to the StratosH as a  
secondary scanner.  
Configuration bar codes are located in the MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (PN 00-02034x) under  
Scanner Configuration Bar Codes: Auxiliary Port, Quick Start for a Secondary Honeywell Scanner.  
1. Refer to pages 15 - 20 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) to the RS232 into  
the socket of the secondary scanner (see figure on page 23).  
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 StratosH.  
Important: The StratosH series’ aux port requires the signals; transmit, receive, RTS & CTS from the secondary scanner.  
For Rev G units or later: The StratosH’s auxiliary port will support 5VDC devices with a 700mA maximum current.  
For Rev F units or earlier: The StratosH’s auxiliary port will support 5VDC devices with a 150mA maximum current. If  
the auxiliary device exceeds this specification or requires a different voltage, an external power supply will be required  
to power the auxiliary device. The following Honeywell scanners can receive power from StratosH: 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 700mA 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.  
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 StratosH and the secondary scanner. 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 (PN 00-02034x) under Scanner Configuration Bar

SCANNER OPERATION  
INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS  
Audible  
When in operation, the StratosH 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 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 29.  
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 29.  
Visual  
White and blue LEDs are located at the top of the vertical output  
window. When the scanner is ON, the flashing or constant,  
illumination of the LEDs indicates the status of the StratosH 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 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.  
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.

SCANNER OPERATION  
INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS  
Visual  
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 configuration 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 30). 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 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 White 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 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 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.

SCANNER OPERATION  
INDICATOR DESCRIPTIONS  
Diagnostic Indicator Display  
There is a two-digit error code display located under the platter near the end of the scanner farthest from the vertical window  
(see figure below).  
Figure 32. Error Code Display  
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 StratosH 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  
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.  
06  
09  
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 RS485 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.

SCALE RETURN TO ZERO ERROR – The scale did not return to zero between scale weight requests if the zero  
checking function in enabled. The scale will need to be re-zeroed.  
LASER #1 (VERTICAL) ERROR – The laser in the vertical scanning subsystem denotes a failure. The scanner  
will try three times to correct the laser operation. If the laser error persists, the vertical scanning subsystem will be  
shut down and this error code will remain on the Diagnostic Indicators.  
21  
22  
23  
31  
32  
LASER #2 (RIGHT HORIZONTAL) ERROR – The right laser in the horizontal scanning subsystem denotes a  
failure. The scanner will try three times to correct the laser operation. If the laser error persists, and the left  
horizontal laser (#3) is also in error, the horizontal scanning subsystem will be shut down and this error code will  
remain on the Diagnostic Indicators.  
LASER #3 (LEFT HORIZONTAL) ERROR – The left laser in the horizontal scanning subsystem denotes a failure.  
The scanner will try three times to correct the laser operation. If the laser error persists, and the right horizontal  
laser (#2) is also in error, the horizontal scanning subsystem will be shut down and this error code will remain on  
the Diagnostic Indicators.  
MOTOR #1 (VERTICAL) ERROR – The motor in the vertical scanning subsystem denotes a failure. The scanner  
will try three times to correct the motor operation. If the motor error persists, the vertical scanning subsystem will  
be shut down and this error code will remain on the Diagnostic Indicators.  
MOTOR #2 (HORIZONTAL) ERROR – The motor in the horizontal scanning subsystem denotes a failure.

SCANNER OPERATION  
POWER SAVE MODES  
The StratosH has five configurable power save modes. Refer to the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (PN 00-02407x)  
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 27).  
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 27).  
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 27).  
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.  
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 27).

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 StratosH 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 StratosH 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, Honeywell provides a wide range of configurable features that  
may be selected with the use of the MetroSelect® Configuration Guide (PN 00-02407x), the MS2xxx Stratos Series  
Configuration Addendum (PN 00-02034x) and MetroSet.

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 speaker volume switch is used  
to store critical range values.  
* This calibration procedure will work with the remote display connected to the StratosH but no data will appear on the remote display.

Bar Code Calibration Procedure without Remote Display*  
The following calibration procedure can be used when the remote scale display is not present. This procedure requires that  
the scanner/scale have a software serial number of 15001 or greater. The beeper volume switch is used to advance to the  
next stage of calibration and the LED display notifies the operator which ‘calibration stage’ (1 through 5) is active.  
1. Temporarily remove the platter and place it in a safe location.  
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.  
2. If this is a currently installed scanner/scale* in need of calibration, cut and remove the calibration switch cover seal. If this  
is a new installation, cut and remove the factory-applied adhesive seal.  
Follow all Electo-Static Discharge (ESD) procedures when exposing internal scanner/scale components.  
3. Remove the M3 screw securing the calibration switch/button cover. Place the cover and screw in a safe location.

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..
