INSTALLATION
CABLE INSTALLATION (INTERFACE SPECIFIC)
RS485
The following steps describe how to properly install the cables for an RS485 StratosH application. The scanner/scale must
then be configured to match the host’s RS485 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 (PN 00-02407x) and the
MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (PN 00-02034x).
1. Turn off the host system.
2. Plug the 10-pin RJ45 end of the RS485 interface cable (PN 57-57004x-N-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled, Scanner
RS232 / IBM 46xx to Host, on the bottom of the StratosH. Refer to Figure on page 21.
3. Connect the other end of the RS485 cable to communication port 9 on the host device.
Before continuing verify that the RS485 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.
Manufacturers Note: Plugging the scanner into the serial port of the host device does not guarantee that scanned
information will appear at the host device. A software driver and correct configuration settings are also required for
proper communication to occur. When using the RS232/Full Speed USB/RS485 (-121) interface, the USB and
RS485 interfaces are not active at the same time.
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 (PN 57-57000x-N-3) into the 10-pin socket labeled, Scale RS232 to Host, on the bottom of
the StratosH.
5. Connect the other end of the dual interface cable (PN 57-57000x-N-3) to the appropriate communication port on the host’s
scale device.
6. Plug the optional remote display cable (PN 46-00248x or 46-00249x) into the 10-pin socket labeled, Scale to Display, on
the bottom of the StratosH.
7. Plug the external power supply (PN 46-46xxx*) into the 3-pin Molex socket labeled, DC Power In, on the bottom of
the StratosH.
xxx* 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.
