Checkstand Considerations
Careful planning of how the checkstand and 7870 work together can improve flow and ergonomics. An evaluation of the checkstand should take into consideration:
•weight of the 7870,
•ventilation,
•service clearance to the 7870,
•display clearance,
•power on and off,
•secure fit and mounting in the cutout for the 7870,
•item diverter (optional),
•adjustable plate (optional),
Ventilation Requirements
The NCR 7870 Scanner/Scale does not need an exhaust fan in the checkstand provided
•there is adequate convection air flow,
•no other equipment in the checkstand raises the temperature in the checkstand to more than 7° C (12.6° F) above the ambient temperature, and
•the temperature inside the checkstand does not exceed 40° F.
If the checkstand contains other heat producing equipment, forced air may be needed to keep the temperature within the 7870’s operating range. If forced air is used, air coming into or leaving the checkstand MUST NOT enter or exit past the 7870.
