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 scale.

Site Requirements

Before installing the MS2420 scanner/Avery 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 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 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.
