INSTALLATION
CABLE INSTALLATION (SECONDARY HONEYWELL SCANNER)
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 MS2xxx Stratos Series Configuration Addendum (PN 00-02034x) under
Scanner Configuration Bar Codes: Auxiliary Port, Quick Start for a Secondary Honeywell Scanner.
1. Refer to pages 15 - 20 for the type of interface (RS232, RS485, etc.) required for your 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 (PN 57-57099x-3 or PN 57-57099x-3-12) to the RS232 into
the socket of the secondary scanner (see figure on page 23).
3. Connect the angled end of the RS232 AUX cable (PN 57-57099x-3 or PN 57-57099x-3-12) into the 10-pin socket labeled,
Aux RS232 In, on the bottom of the StratosH.
Important: The StratosH series’ aux port requires the signals; transmit, receive, RTS & CTS from the secondary scanner.
For Rev G units or later: The StratosH’s auxiliary port will support 5VDC devices with a 700mA maximum current.
For Rev F units or earlier: 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 700mA current to operate. Skip to step 5 if
the secondary device requires ≤ 700mA 5VDC.
Plug the power supply into the secondary scanner’s PowerLink cable (PN 57-57099x-3 or PN 57-57099x-3-12) and
connect AC power to the secondary 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.
