  • Page 24: Laser And Product Safety

    Laser and Product Safety Laser safety requirements are based on IEC Standard Publication 60825-1 (2001) and CDRH 21CFR, Chapter 1, Subchapter J and (CDRH) Laser Product Performance Standard, User information [1040.10(h)1]: • User Maintenance. No user maintenance of the system other than cleaning of the scan windows is required.

  • Page 25: Product Reference Guide

    Safety precautions to be taken: No adjustments or alteration of the scanner or scanning-scale housing are to be attempted by the user. The failure of the facet wheel motor while the unit is continuing to emit a laser beam causes the emission levels to exceed those for inherently safe operation. The unit has safeguards to prevent this occurrence.

  • Page 29: Section 2. Site Preparation And Installation

    Section 2 Site Preparation and Installation This section provides a reference for preparing most checkstands to receive the scanner or scanning-scale. Included are physical parameters and instructions for checkstand preparation, power and ventilation consider- ations, cable routing information and unit installation. Site Preparation lists all procedures necessary to prepare the checkstand.

  • Page 30: Pre-Installation Considerations

    Figure 2-1. The Scanner/Scale Family Model 8500 Model 8501 Model 8502 Pre-Installation Considerations It should be noted that the scope of this manual does not encompass all factors related to worker safety and checkstand design. It does, however, offer a list of considerations that may be helpful in ensuring greater safety and productivity.

  • Page 31: Checkstand Design

    Checkstand Design 1. Select a design which allows load-sharing by several muscle groups (for example designs which allow the cashier to use both hands for scanning and bagging). 2. Select checkstands which deliver products to the cashier on an input belt and do not require the unloading of items from a cart. These designs put less stress on the cashiers’...

  • Page 32: Scanner Installation

    Scanner Installation 1. Mount the horizontal surface of the scanner flush with the coun- tertop to encourage slide scanning rather than lifting. 2. Position the centerline of the scanner read area 8 - 10 inches (20.3 - 25.4 cm) from the edge of the checkstand (cashier side). Scanner Maintenance 1.

  • Page 33: Site Preparation Overview

    Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the top and bottom, there is no need to turn a bar code toward either of the scanner windows. Develop efficient scanning motions, not necessarily faster hand movements. Simply slide the item across the scanner’s horizontal window with as little orientation motion as neces- sary.
  • Page 34 Counter Preparation. Since the majority of grocery checkout lanes are designed as “left-hand take away,” the counter drawings in this section focus on this counter design. Simply reverse the layout for a “right-hand take away” requirement. The unit scans equally well in either of these two configurations.

  • Page 35: Ventilation And Spacing

    Figure 2-2. Vertical Clearance DO NOT DO NOT Obstruct Obstruct L-Platter Scan Zone Removal (Keyboard Mount) Allow a minimum clearance of 1.5" (3.8cm) (Enclosure) Ventilation and Spacing The scanning-scale’s perimeter housing has been designed to provide ade- quate space for convective cooling and unrestricted movement of the weighing apparatus.

  • Page 36: Service Access

    Figure 2-3. Debris Chutes & Ventilation Slots Debris Chutes/Ventilation Slots Service Access The scanner and scanning-scale have been engineered to allow perfor- mance of all routine service and maintenance (such as “zeroing” and cali- bration) without removing the scanner from the checkstand. Additionally all cable connections made at the scanner can be connected and removed while the unit is sitting on the countertop.

  • Page 37: Power Installation

    Power Installation Reference the wiring diagram in Figure 2-4 for the recommended fusing arrangement. Grounding The AC/DC Power Supply should have an AC outlet with a clean earth ground. If you are not sure how to verify the amount of electrical noise (interference) on the power line, ask a qualified electrician to measure the input line voltage.

  • Page 38: Checkstand Preparation

    Checkstand Preparation Reference Figure 2-5. When performing a first time installation into a new checkstand, verify before cutting that room will be allowed for cabling and the AC/DC Power Supply. When making the opening, take extra care to accurately cut to the correct dimensions. Mounting may require installation of support(s), countertop routing, or other such devices.

  • Page 39: Liquid Spills And Moisture

    Liquid Spills and Moisture Select a checkstand design which allows fluids to flow through, and directs liquids away from any electronic equipment or storage areas. Counter Cutout The most important consideration when planning the counter opening for the scanner is the operator’s comfortable reaching distance. The ideal, ergonomically sound installation allows items to be directed within easy reach, and a scanning area requiring no lifting or special orientation of items.
  • Page 40 Interface cables (and display cable, if applicable) should be routed away from all highly inductive electrical devices, like motors and conveyor belts, and even away from the unit’s power cable if possible. Cables should be easy to remove in the event that replace- ment is required.

  • Page 44: Checkstand Mounting

    Checkstand Mounting There are a number of things to take into account when installing the unit into a checkstand. Key factors are ergonomic/worker safety, loading capac- ity and stability. Consider the scanner or scanning-scale’s weight when cal- culating the robustness of construction needed to support it as well as maximum capacity of weighed and scanned items.
  • Page 45 • Lift out the accessory box containing the AC/DC Power Supply, optional Remote Scale Display and cable (if present), and the Quick Reference Guide. • Remove the Quick Reference Guide and familiarize yourself with the unit’s controls and features. Leave the guide at the checkstand when the installation is complete.

  • Page 46: Operational Verification

    Operational Verification Follow these steps to ensure that your unit has arrived undamaged and is fully functional before installing it in the counter and connecting it to your POS system. 1. If the unit is a scanning-scale, connect the Remote Scale Display to the proper connector on the unit’s connector panel (refer to Figure 2-13).
  • Page 47 4. Verify that the scanner or scanning-scale passes an operational test by observing the following: Scanner. Pass UPC/EAN bar code labels in front of the scanner’s win- dows. Since the interface cable is not yet connected to the POS terminal, the scanner may be limited to reading only one or two labels (see the note that follows).

  • Page 48: Diagnostic Modes

    Diagnostic Modes Two diagnostic modes are available which allow you to initiate scanner or scale diagnostic tests, as well as verify the scanner’s ability to read bar codes. Scanner Diagnostic Mode While in Scanner Diagnostic Mode, continuous scanning of labels is allowed, permitting the user to scan an unlimited number of bar codes while troubleshooting problems.

  • Page 49: Scale Diagnostic Mode

    Scale Diagnostic Mode To enter Scale Diagnostic Mode, press the Scale Zero Push Button for approximately four seconds. Six rapid tones will be sounded, indicating the unit is leaving normal operation and entering Scale Diagnostic Mode. The Remote Display will flash a ‘1’ across the display while the dignostic routine is being run.

  • Page 51: Remote Scale Display Placement/Installation

    Figure 2-11 provides physical dimensions for the AC/DC Adapter (part number 8-0599). Figure 2-11. Physical Measurements: AC/DC Adapter 2.3" (5.8 cm) Remote Scale Display Placement/Installation When installing the optional Remote Scale Display, consider both the cus- tomer’s viewing angle and the amount of daily ambient light conditions anticipated at this installation site.

  • Page 52: Viewing Angle

    Viewing Angle The optimum viewing angle is directly facing the customer. To ensure that the display is easily readable for the majority of your customers, the dis- play should be approximately 48 to 60” (122 to 152 cm) from the floor. Check with local Weights and Measures authorities regarding proper posi- tioning of scale displays used in retail trade.

  • Page 53: Placing And Installing The Remote Scale Display

    The connector at the Remote Scale Display end is secured with a rubber band during shipping to prevent damage to the “locking tabs” (see Figure 2-14). After routing the cable, remove this rubber band before the cable end connecting to the Remote Scale Display head. Failure to remove the band will keep the connector from latching properly when it is connected NOTE to Remote Scale Display port.

    Operational Controls The function of scanner and scale controls and indicators is listed in Appendix A, LED/Beeper Indications & Controls. Turn to that appendix for full details. Operational Modes The scanner or scanner/scale features a number of modes that are impor- tant to both the user and the system support personnel.

  • Page 67: Error Reporting

    Error Reporting If a fatal error is detected during Selftest or operation, the unit will not advance to Normal Operation Mode. Selftest diagnostics will cause the unit to sound a long, low tone and/or display an error message on the 7- segment display indicating where the failure occurred.

  • Page 68: Operating Mode

    • When the scanner or scanner/scale completes its Selftest success- fully, it emits a tone (when configured to do so) and enters Oper- ating Mode. Operating Mode Operating Mode includes Normal Operation (scanning and weighing) and Sleep Mode. These two modes are most commonly observed by the user/operator.

  • Page 69: Additional Functions

    Additional Functions Additional scanner and scale functions include programming, running scanner or scale diagnostics, initiating a reset, zeroing the scale, and cali- brating the scale. Programming When your scanner or scanner/scale is shipped from the factory it is con- figured to work with the POS system interface at your store and read the bar code symbologies you designated.

  • Page 70: Scale Adjustments

    Scale Adjustments The scale allows two user adjustments: zeroing and calibration. The first, and most frequently performed, is ‘zeroing’ the scale. This operation resets the scale’s “at rest” reading to zero which must be within the range of - 0.2 pounds (- 1.25 grams) to +0.6 pounds (0.27kg) since the last calibration.
  • Page 71 Normally, once the scale has been calibrated, the calibration must be veri- fied and/or approved by a local regulatory body. In many areas of the United States, the scale calibration switch must be sealed before being placed into service. Consult the agency responsible for regulating weigh- ing devices in your area to ensure that you are meeting all legal and regula- tory requirements.
