Product Reference Guide 2-1
Chapter 2
Site Preparation and
Installation
This chapter provides a reference for preparing most checkstands to
receive the scanner or scanner/scale. Included are physical parameters and
instructions for checkstand preparation, power and ventilation consider-
ations, cable routing information and unit installation.
Site Preparation lists all procedures necessary to prepare the checkstand.
The instructions that follow, titled Checkstand Preparation, detail steps for
the three models that are available (shown in Figure 2-1 below) to facili-
tate easy installation into almost any checkstand application around the
world:
Some models are designed to fit with little or no modification into open-
ings cut for previously installed scanners such as Magellan® scanners, or
NCR® scanner models 7820/24 and 7870. Other models are designed for
applications with smaller footprint requirements.
Once the procedures in this chapter are complete, the scanner is ready for
scanning operation1; with the exception that if a scanner/scale was
installed, calibration will be required before placing the unit into opera-
tion. You must consult the local weights and measures authority to ensure
that all legal requirements are met concerning calibration and certifica-
tion. Chapter 5, Calibration, contains detailed procedures for calibrating
the scale in either pounds or kilograms.
