RS232
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an RS232 StratosH application. The scanner/scale must
then be configured to match the host's RS232 parameters. Cable installation alone does not guarantee that the StratosH will
communicate properly with the host system.
Configuration bar codes are located in the MetroSelect Configuration Guide (
MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (
1.
Turn off the host system.
2.
Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the RS232 interface cable (
to Host, on the bottom of the StratosH. Refer to figure on page 16.
3.
Connect the other end of the RS232 cable to the proper communication port on the host device.
Before continuing, verify that the RS232 interface cable is connected to the appropriate interface socket on the
scanner. An incorrect cable connection can cause communication problems or potential damage to the scanner
and/or terminal.
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 (
the StratosH.
5.
Connect the other end of the dual interface cable (
scale device.
6.
Plug the optional remote display cable (
the bottom of the StratosH.
7.
Plug the external power supply (
StratosH.
Specifies international connection. See Optional Accessories in the Introduction section of this guide for a complete listing.

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.
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.
8.
Connect AC power to the transformer. If the AC outlet is equipped with an on/off switch, turn the power on.
