Product Reference Guide 2-1
Section 2
Site Preparation and Installation
This section provides a reference for preparing most checkstands to receive
the scanner or scanning-scale. Included are physical parameters and
instructions 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 for
the three models that are available (shown in Figure 2-1 below) to facili-
tate easy installation into almost any checkstand application around the
world:
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 are
designed for applications with smaller footprint requirements.
Once the procedures in this section are complete, the scanner is ready for
operation; with the exception that if a scanning-scale was installed, cali-
bration will be required before placing the unit into operation. You must
consult the local weights and measures authority to ensure that all legal
requirements are met concerning calibration and certification. Section 5,
Calibration, contains detailed procedures for calibrating the scale in either
pounds or kilograms.
