20 Magellan™ 9300i / 9400i Scanners
Site Requirements
Consider the following factors before installing the scanner/scanner-scale and
its optional Remote Scale Display.
Ventilation Requirements
The scanner operates without the use of a ventilation fan. As long as there is
adequate convective air flow and no major heat producing equipment in close
proximity, the unit’s housing provides adequate heat dissipation. The air tem
-
perature in the checkstand around the scanner must not exceed 104°F (40°C).
The scanner-scale’s perimeter housing has been designed to provide adequate
space for convective cooling and unrestricted movement of the weighing appa
-
ratus. Figure 8 shows the debris chutes and ventilation slots. The checkstand
design must:
• keep the ambient air temperature inside the checkstand adjacent to the
scanner below 104°F (40°C).
• allow a source of air that provides adequate cooling by convective air flow.
If motors, conveyor belts, or other heat-producing equipment are located near
the scanner, forced air ventilation may be required. In most installations, a 30
cfm (51m
3
/h) axial fan should provide sufficient air movement. If a ventilation
fan is installed, it is recommended to use one with a removable filter that may
be washed or replaced.

NOTE
DO NOT place the scanner in a close-fitting, fully enclosed check-
stand. Provide a MINIMUM of 103.2 cm

of air intake from below
the installation for sufficient convective cooling.
