Site Preparation Overview
Product Reference Guide 2-7
Recommended Power Installation — Since the typical grocery envi-
ronment includes conveyor belts and electric motors, care should be taken
to ensure that the scanner has a supply of “clean” power (power without
excessive electrical noise). A wiring diagram shows the recommended wir-
ing that will provide the scanner with a “clean” source of power. Refer to
Figure 2-6.
Counter Preparation — Since the majority of grocery checkout lanes
are designed as “left-hand take away,” the counter drawings in this chapter
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.
Liquid Drainage — Should a liquid spill occur, ensure that moisture can
flow through the checkstand without pooling.
Leveling — Plan ahead and provide screws/bolts in the checkstand
mounts and a leveling guide (board) to allow leveling of the scanner or
scanner/scale within the counter. Use a 0.375” thick board to replicate the
mounting flange on the long scanner or scanner/scale, and adjust screws
or bolts until the board is flush within the counter. Use a 4.0” wide board
stood on its end to adjust leveling screws/bolts in rail support applications.
Cable Routing — Placement of the scanner/scale should be planned to
allow easy access to other components as well as optimize communication
between the scanner, the POS terminal, the optional Remote Scale Dis-
play and any EAS peripheral equipment. Do not route interface cables
near any electrical motors or other sources of electromagnetic interference.
Remote Scale Display Placement — The customer, and checker in
some instances, must be able to easily view and read the Remote Scale Dis-
play. Ambient light and mounting height considerations are discussed
later in this chapter.
Vertical Clearance — Provision must be made to allow adequate space
above the scanner bonnet for removal and replacement of an L-shaped
platter. Optimal clearance permits the platter to be grasped at its top verti-
cal edge and lifted for removal without obstruction (such as a fixed key-
board mount or any type of enclosure). Should such an enclosure be
