The following steps describe how to properly install the cables between a secondary Honeywell scanner and the StratosH. The
StratosH and the secondary scanner must then be configured to communicate properly. Cable installation alone does not guarantee
that the StratosH will communicate properly with the host system and secondary scanner.
Contact a customer service representative before connecting another manufacturer's scanner to the StratosH as a secondary
scanner.
Configuration bar codes are located in the MS2x20 Stratos Series Scanner/Diva Scale Configuration Addendum
(
00-02272x) under Scanner Configuration Bar Codes: Auxiliary Port, Quick Start for a Secondary Honeywell Scanner.

1.
Refer to pages 16 - 23 for the type of interface (RS232, RS485, etc.) required for the application. Follow the cable installation
steps under the appropriate interface before continuing. Once the communication and power cables have been installed follow
step 2 below for the secondary scanner installation.
2.
Connect the straight end of the RS232 PowerLink AUX cable (
scanner (see figure on page 26).
3.
Connect the angled end of the RS232 AUX cable (
of the StratosH.
Important: The StratosH series' aux port requires the signals; transmit, receive, RTS & CTS from the secondary scanner.
The StratosH's auxiliary port will support 5VDC devices with a 150mA maximum current. If the auxiliary device exceeds this
specification or requires a different voltage, an external power supply will be required to power the auxiliary device.
The following Honeywell scanners can receive power from StratosH: the MS9520, MS9540, and the MS5145.
4.
This step is required for secondary devices that require >5VDC and/or 150mA current to operate. Skip to step 5 if the
secondary device requires ≤ 150mA 5VDC.
Plug the power supply into the secondary scanner's PowerLink cable (
scanner.
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.
5.
Configure the StratosH and the secondary scanner. The auxiliary input port's data format must match the main output format of
the secondary scanner.
