INSTALLATION
CABLE INSTALLATION (INTERFACE SPECIFIC)
FULL SPEED USB
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for a Full Speed USB StratosS application. The scanner/Avery
scale must then be configured to match the host’s USB 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
MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (MLPN 00-02034x).
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the USB interface cable (MLPN 57-57201x-N-3 or 57-57227x-N-3) into the 10-pin socket
labeled, Scanner Host USB, on the bottom of the StratosS. Refer to Figure on page 21.
3. Connect the other end of the USB interface cable to the appropriate USB port on the host device.
Before continuing verify that the USB interface cable is connected to the appropriate socket on the scanner. An
incorrect cable connection can cause communication problems or potential damage to the scanner and/or terminal.
Manufacturers Note: Plugging the scanner into the USB port of the host does not guarantee that scanned
information will appear at the host. A software driver and correct configuration setting 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 dual interface cable (MLPN 57-57000x-N-3) to 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 display cable (MLPN 46-00248x or 46-00249) 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.
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.
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.
8. Connect AC power to the transformer. If the AC outlet is equipped with an on/off switch, turn the power on.
9. Turn on the host system.
