Physical ParametersThis section provides specifications for performance, environmental andelectrical parameters. Reference the second section of this manual, SitePreparation and Installation, for physical measurements of all models andsome accessories.

ScanningThe scanner has a scan zone between the two windows where the scannerprojects laser light in order to scan items. Two separate projections, onefrom the horizontal window and one from the vertical window, combineto form a zone where barcode labels are read. Refer to the Operation andMaintenance section of this manual for more details about the topic: Scan-ning Items.

EAS Tag Deactivation SystemScanners can be ordered from the factory to include an optional EAS(Electronic Article Surveillance) deactivation system. Two different EASsystem types are available: Checkpoint1 and Sensormatic2.

The AMB-9010 deactivation system requires connection as shown inFigure 1-3a. Reference Chapter 3, "Deactivating Security Labels" for moreinformation about its use.

Contact Technical Support for information about installation of the Sen-sormatic® AMB-9010 EAS controller box. Additional details about thissystem can be referenced under the following topics:

• Chapter 3, "Deactivating Security Labels"

• Chapter 7, "EAS Features — Sensormatic"

WeighingSpecifications for scale capacity, settling time, minimum and maximumstatic weight, zeroing, and warm-up time are given below. For more infor-mation regarding the topic: Proper Weighing Technique, refer to the Opera-tion and Maintenance section of this manual.

Rated Weight CapacityThe scale’s operational weight capacity is:

• 30.00 pounds, displayed in 0.01 increments

OR

• 15.000 kilograms1, displayed in 0.005 increments.

Minimum IncrementThe minimum weight that can be accurately measured by the scale is 0.02lb. (0.005 kg).

Maximum Static Weight (Overload)A maximum static weight of 150 pounds (68 kg) can be sustained by thescale without incurring damage or degrading performance.

Automatic Zero MaintenanceThe scale’s software constantly monitors and adjusts the Zero point aslong as the deviation is within acceptable limits2, while compensating forany debris accumulation or removal. During power-up, the scale automat-ically re-zeros after verifying that all subsystems are functional. Addition-ally, the scale may be manually “zeroed” by pushing the Scale Zero PushButton located on the top of the vertical enclosure.

1. The scale can also be set at the factory for 9.99 kg max.2. Acceptable limitis of deviation are set at -0.2 to +0.6 pounds (-0.078kg to 0.23kg), which is -0.67 to

+2.0% of total capacity.


Warm-Up TimeThere are two pertinent warm-up times that apply to the scanning-scale:

Thermal EquilibriumWhen the unit is moved from a cooler temperature (such as a storage area)to a warmer environment (such as a checkstand location), 60 minutesmust be allowed to acclimate the unit to ambient conditions prior to cali-bration or operation.

Power-upOnce installed and powered up, a warm-up time of 15 minutes must beallowed before calibrating or performing weighing operations.

User Configurable Warm-upThe user may configure the unit for a pre-programmed warm-up timethat is activated every time the scanner is powered up. During this time,the scale is viewed by the POS terminal as off-line.

NOTE

The two warm-up periods can be performed concurrently, thereby reducingthe total required warm-up time to 60 minutes.

NOTE

Contact Technical Support to learn more about this advanced programmablefeature.


Figure 1-4. Environmental Specifications

Electrical SpecificationsBefore installation, always verify that the site’s electrical service meets thescanning-scale’s requirements. The scanner has been engineered for com-patibility with most international electrical systems operating in rangesfrom 100 to 240VAC at 50-60 Hz. Verify that the power source will sup-ply “clean” electrical power to the equipment; that is, it must be free ofexcess electrical noise.

Check the IEC power cord shipped with the scanning-scale. If the cordwill not plug into your AC power receptacle, the power cord shipped isnot compatible with your electrical system. Please contact your distributorimmediately to receive the necessary information and components toensure electrical compatibility.

Laser and Product SafetyLaser safety requirements are based on IEC Standard Publication 60825-1(2001) and CDRH 21CFR, Chapter 1, Subchapter J and (CDRH) LaserProduct Performance Standard, User information [1040.10(h)1]:

• User Maintenance. No user maintenance of the system other thancleaning of the scan windows is required.

• Radiant Energy. The scanner is an IEC Class 1 and CDRH IIalaser product. The system uses two embedded Class 3B VisibleLaser Diodes (VLDs) operating at 650.0 or 670.0 nm, in anopto-mechanical scanner, resulting in less than 3.9µW radiatedpower as observed through a 7mm aperture and averaged over 10seconds. Maximum emitted peak output power at the lower win-dow is 850µW. No attempt should be made by the user to removethe protective housing of the scanning-scale.

• Laser Light Viewing. The horizontal and vertical scan windowsare the only apertures through which laser light may be observedin this product.

Exposure to the light emitted from the scan windows has been shown notto be harmful. The safety record of barcode scanning is perfect after mil-lions of hours of use worldwide. This safe and efficient use of laser tech-nology has gained wide acceptance in industries throughout the world.

Operators and installers of the unit should observe the following cautionsand warnings:

CAUTION

Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than thosespecified herein may result in hazardous laser light exposure.

The use of optical instruments with the scanner will increase eye hazard. (Opti-cal instruments include binoculars, microscopes, telescopes and magnifyingglasses. This does not include eyeglasses worn by the user).

To prevent exposure to laser light, do not remove the protective housing of thescanner. There are no user-serviceable parts inside your scanner or scanning-scale.


Safety precautions to be taken:

This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the CanadianInterference-Causing Equipment Regulations.

Cet appareil numerique de la classe A respecte toute les exigences duReglement sur le material broilleur du Canada.

CAUTION

No adjustments or alteration of the scanner or scanning-scale housing are to beattempted by the user.

The failure of the facet wheel motor while the unit is continuing to emit a laserbeam causes the emission levels to exceed those for inherently safe operation.The unit has safeguards to prevent this occurrence. If, however, a stationarylaser beam is ever emitted, the failing unit should be disconnected from itspower supply until repaired by a qualified technician.

Section 2Site Preparation and Installation

This section provides a reference for preparing most checkstands to receivethe scanner or scanning-scale. Included are physical parameters andinstructions for checkstand preparation, power and ventilation consider-ations, cable routing information and unit installation.

Site Preparation lists all procedures necessary to prepare the checkstand.The instructions that follow, titled Checkstand Preparation, detail steps forthe three models that are available (shown in Figure 2-1 below) to facilitateeasy installation into almost any checkstand application around the world:

• Model 8503 — Long Scanner with Sensormatic Coil

• Model 8504 — Long Scanner/Scale with Sensormatic Coil

• Model 8505 — Short Scanner with Sensormatic Coil

Some models are designed to fit with little or no modification into open-ings cut for previously installed scanners such as other Magellan® scan-ners, or NCR® scanner models 7820/24 and 7870. Other models aredesigned for applications with smaller footprint requirements.

Once the procedures in this section are complete, the scanner is ready foroperation; with the exception that if a scanning-scale was installed, cali-bration will be required before placing the unit into operation. You mustconsult the local weights and measures authority to ensure that all legalrequirements are met concerning calibration and certification. Section 5,Calibration Procedures, Single Interval, contains detailed procedures for cal-ibrating the scale in either pounds or kilograms.


Figure 2-1. The Scanner/Scale Family

Pre-Installation ConsiderationsIt should be noted that the scope of this manual does not encompass allfactors related to worker safety and checkstand design. It does, however,offer a list of considerations that may be helpful in ensuring greater safetyand productivity. Careful planning using these general guidelines shouldresult in a more efficient, comfortable work environment.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the incidence of repetitivemotion injuries has increased dramatically in recent years. Checkstanddesign and scanner installation and operation procedures can reduce therisk of repetitive motion injuries, but not eliminate it.

Although there are currently no formal guidelines for checkstand ergo-nomics, the Food Marketing Institute (FMI) and the National Institute ofOccupational Safety (NIOSH) of the Department of Health and HumanServices have released the reports listed at the end of these recommenda-tions. These reports contain useful suggestions for ergonomic improve-ment of checkstand designs and scanner installation, maintenance andusage. Portions of the reports are summarized below. For copies of thecomplete reports, or to inquire about any modifications to the recommen-dations, contact FMI and NIOSH at the addresses listed at the end ofthese recommendations.

Checkstand Design1. Select a design which allows load-sharing by several muscle

groups (for example designs which allow the cashier to use bothhands for scanning and bagging).

2. Select checkstands which deliver products to the cashier on aninput belt and do not require the unloading of items from a cart.These designs put less stress on the cashiers’ shoulders and back.

3. Minimize the distance between the input and take-away convey-ors (i.e., the distance the cashier has to reach to move the prod-ucts).

4. Minimize the width of the input conveyor to reduce the cashier’sreach to items on the far side of the belt; use a diverter to directproducts closer to the cashier.

5. Select a design which encourages the cashier to slide productsacross the scanner rather than gripping and lifting. Make sure thehorizontal surface of the scanner is flush with all surrounding sur-faces.

6. Choose a design which integrates the scanner and scale to elimi-nate extended reaches and lifts during weighing tasks.

7. Provide an easily accessible bag stand at a height 13 - 17 inches(33 - 43.2 cm) lower than the top surface of the checkstand toreduce stresses to the shoulders, elbows, and risks associated withlifting products into bags.

8. Do not position the bag stand between the cashier and the scan-ner, due to the increased reach involved.

9. Position the scanner’s horizontal scanning surface 34 - 36 inches(86.4 - 91.4 cm) above the floor. Maintain a minimum of fiveinches (12.7 cm) clearance between elbows and work surfaces.

10. Provide adjustable keyboard mounting (height, tilt, and horizon-tal reach).

11. Position the printer, cash drawer, and other checkstand devicesthe cashier uses within easy reach (less than 18 inches/45.7 cm).

12. Provide adequate toe space, foot rests or rails, antifatigue mats,and where feasible, an adjustable seat or stand against which thecashiers can lean.


Scanner Installation1. 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 Maintenance1. Keep scanner windows clean. This will improve productivity and

reduce rescans.

2. Replace scanner glass when excessive scratches are evident.

Scanner Usage1. Minimize handling of heavy/bulky products. Leave these items in

the cart and use an alternative entry method such as key entry ofshort PLUs, or handheld scanning.


2. Regularly train cashiers in proper scanning methods and ergo-nomics principles, such as:

Develop a smooth fluid motion during scanning, sharingwork equally between hands.

Use the entire hand for grasping and lifting items.

Since the scanner reads labels on all four sides plus the topand bottom, there is no need to turn a barcode toward eitherof the scanner windows.

Develop efficient scanning motions, not necessarily fasterhand movements. Simply slide the item across the scanner’shorizontal window with as little orientation motion as neces-sary.

Leave items in an upright position; do not lift and tilt.

Learn how the scanner functions and where the scanning areais located.

Do not favor either the vertical or horizontal window; slideitems across the scanner in their natural orientations on thecheckstand as much as possible.

Site Preparation OverviewConsider the following factors before installing the scanner/scanning-scaleand its optional Remote Scale Display.

Ventilation Requirements. The scanner operates without the use of aventilation fan. As long as there is adequate convective air flow and nomajor heat producing equipment in close proximity, the unit’s housingprovides adequate heat dissipation. The air temperature in the checkstandaround the scanner must not exceed 104°F (40°C).

Service Access Requirements. Routine operations such as ‘zeroing’and calibration do not require removal of the scanner from the checkstandor disassembly of the product. The installer should plan service access forthe AC/DC Power Supply and cables.


Recommended Power Installation. Since the typical grocery environ-ment includes conveyor belts and electric motors, care should be taken toensure that the scanner has a supply of “clean” power (power withoutexcessive electrical noise). A wiring diagram shows the recommended wir-ing that will provide the scanner with a “clean” source of power. Refer toFigure 2-4.

Counter Preparation. Since the majority of grocery checkout lanes aredesigned as “left-hand take away,” the counter drawings in this sectionfocus on this counter design. Simply reverse the layout for a “right-handtake away” requirement. The unit scans equally well in either of these twoconfigurations.

Liquid Drainage. Should a liquid spill occur, ensure that moisture canflow through the checkstand without pooling.

Leveling. Plan ahead and provide screws/bolts in the checkstand mountsand a leveling guide (board) to allow leveling of the scanner or scanning-scale within the counter. Use a 0.375” thick board to replicate the mount-ing flange on the long scanner or scanning-scale, and adjust screws or boltsuntil the board is flush within the counter. Use a 4.0” wide board stood onits end to adjust leveling screws/bolts in rail support applications.

Cable Routing. Placement of the scanning-scale should be planned toallow easy access to other components as well as optimize communicationbetween the scanner, the POS terminal and the optional Remote ScaleDisplay. Note that cables may drop straight down from the scanner’s con-nector panel, or may be conveniently routed along the unit’s side using thehardware provided. Do not route interface cables near any electricalmotors or other sources of electromagnetic interference.

Remote Scale Display Placement. The customer, and checker in someinstances, must be able to easily view and read the Remote Scale Display.Ambient light and mounting height considerations are discussed later inthis section.

Vertical Clearance. Provision must be made to allow adequate spaceabove the scanner bonnet for removal and replacement of the AllWeighs™ Platter (the L-shaped platter). Optimal clearance permits theplatter to be grasped at its top vertical edge and lifted for removal withoutobstruction (such as a fixed keyboard mount or any type of enclosure).


Should such an enclosure be unavoidable, an alternate method of platterremoval using two coins may be employed, however a minimum verticalclearance of 1.5” (3.8 cm) MUST be provided (reference Figure 2-2).Another consideration is that the scan zone must be kept free of obstruc-tions such as enclosures, keyboard mounts, etc.

Figure 2-2. Vertical Clearance

Ventilation and SpacingThe scanning-scale’s perimeter housing has been designed to provide ade-quate space for convective cooling and unrestricted movement of theweighing apparatus. Figure 2-3 shows the debris chutes and ventilationslots. The checkstand design must allow:

• The ambient air temperature inside the checkstand adjacent tothe scanner must not exceed 104°F (40°C).

• A source of air that provides adequate cooling by convective airflow.

NOTE

DO NOT place the scanner in a close-fitting, fully enclosed checkstand. Pro-vide a MINIMUM of 16 square inches (103.2 square centimeters) of air intakefrom below the installation for sufficient convective cooling.


If motors, conveyor belts, or other heat producing equipment are locatednear the scanner, forced air ventilation may be required. In most installa-tions, a 30 cfm (.84 cmm) axial fan should provide sufficient air move-ment. If a ventilation fan is installed, one with a removable filter that maybe washed or replaced is recommended.

Service AccessThe 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. Additionallyall cable connections made at the scanner can be connected and removedwhile the unit is sitting on the countertop. The installer should provideservice access to all remaining cable connectors as well as the AC/DCPower Supply (if installed).

Power InstallationReference the wiring diagram in Figure 2-4 for the recommended fusingarrangement.

GroundingThe AC/DC Power Supply should have an AC outlet with a clean earthground. If you are not sure how to verify the amount of electrical noise(interference) on the power line, ask a qualified electrician to measure theinput line voltage.

Checkstand PreparationReference Figure 2-5. When performing a first time installation into a newcheckstand, verify before cutting that room will be allowed for cabling andthe AC/DC Power Supply. When making the opening, take extra care toaccurately cut to the correct dimensions. Mounting may require installa-tion of support(s), countertop routing, or other such devices. Dependingupon checkstand design, you may wish to install an item diverter to directitems toward the scan window. See the instructions in this manual titled“Counter Cutout” for more details concerning the location and prepara-tion of the opening.

Liquid Spills and Moisture Select a checkstand design which allows fluids to flow through, and directsliquids away from any electronic equipment or storage areas.

Counter CutoutThe most important consideration when planning the counter openingfor the scanner is the operator’s comfortable reaching distance. The ideal,ergonomically sound installation allows items to be directed within easyreach, and a scanning area requiring no lifting or special orientation ofitems. If you haven’t already read the information at the beginning of thissection titled, Pre-Installation Considerations, please do so before continu-ing these instructions.

The symmetrical design of the scanner permits the operator to easily passitems from one hand to the other while scanning (either from right-to-leftor left-to-right). With the unique 360- scan zone, scanning is accom-plished in one fluid motion. The operator simply slides the item from theconveyor belt or diverter area through the scanning area and passes theitem to the other hand, which in turn bags it or places it on a take-awayconveyor belt. Movement should flow naturally over the surface of thescanner.

Note that the following guidelines for preparing an existing checkstand toaccept a scanner, or incorporating the unit into a new checkstand designwill not be accurate for all installations. Although these guidelines will suf-fice for most standard installations, the installer may need to make adjust-ments for varying counter heights and thicknesses, support design, orother checkstand limitations.

Figure 2-6 shows a typical “left-hand-take-away” checkstand design.

Follow these basic steps to install the unit:

1. Select a position for the scanner that offers a smooth product flowwhich best accommodates the reaching distance of the averageoperator.

2. Cut the opening in the countertop. Select the appropriate draw-ing from Figure 2-7, or Figure 2-10 for your model.

3. Install the AC/DC Power Supply, the Remote Scale Display cableand the interface cable(s) observing the following:


Interface cables (and display cable, if applicable) should berouted away from all highly inductive electrical devices, likemotors and conveyor belts, and even away from the unit’spower cable if possible.

Cables should be easy to remove in the event that replace-ment is required. A little planning now
