  • Page 19: Installation

    Ventilation and Spacing The MS2421/MS2422/MS2431 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 to 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.

  • Page 20: Power Installation

     The MS2421/MS2422/MS2431 can scan a bar code on five sides of a package. The packages should flow into the scan area that provides the maximum reading performance. No lifting or orientation of the items is necessary.

  • Page 41: Failure Modes

    Failure Modes Flashing Blue and One Razzberry Tone This indicates that the scanner has experienced a laser subsystem failure. The scanner will try up to three times to correct the failure condition. If the laser subsystem continues to fail, that subsystem (horizontal or vertical) will be shut down and an error indication will be shown on the Diagnostic Indicator Display.

  • Page 42: Diagnostic Indicator Display; Error Codes

    If they do not agree, an interface error exists. Correct this problem by getting the proper hardware interface OR programming MS2421/MS2422/MS2431 configuration for the proper interface hardware attached. CONFIGURATION ERROR – The non-volatile configuration memory did not agree with the data last saved.
  • Page 43 Error Description Code COPROCESSOR COMMUNICATION ERROR – The main microprocessor is not communicating with the interface coprocessor. The interface coprocessor may be in a fault condition with the host or just not able to respond. This error may appear when the scanner is configured for USB or RS485 interface applications or during an attempt to update the interface software through the flash utility.
  • Page 44 Error Description Code LASER #2 (RIGHT HORIZONTAL) UNDERCURRENT WARNING – The laser in the right horizontal scanning subsystem is drawing too little current. The laser is probably not on. This could be the result of a loss of the required set point in memory. Have the unit checked at an authorized service center.

    ** For MS2431, use the same points as shown for the MS2421 to install the platter. † If the platter on the MS2421/MS2431 is not equipped with a product weight roll bar / lift handle, it can be removed using the same method as shown for the MS2422.

  • Page 50: Daily Maintenance

    Daily Maintenance Smudges and dirt on the unit’s window can interfere with the unit’s performance. If the horizontal or vertical output windows require cleaning, use only a mild glass cleaner containing no ammonia. When cleaning the window, spray the cleaner onto a lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth then gently wipe the window clean. If the unit’s case requires cleaning, use a mild cleaning agent that does not contain strong oxidizing chemicals.
