Installation Procedure

1. Using a 2.5 mm hex key, set the Focus Adjustment Screw to one of the three pre-calibrated distances.
2. Physically mount the Matrix 120 reader.
3. Make the necessary electrical connections.
4. Configure the reader using the X-PRESS interface or the DL.CODE software.

HMI X-PRESS™ Interface

The Matrix 120 features an X-PRESS interface with five LEDs indicating the device status:

• READY (green): Device is ready to operate.
• GOOD (green): Confirms successful reading.
• TRIGGER (yellow): Indicates the status of the reading phase.
• COM (yellow): Indicates active communication on the main serial port.
• STATUS (red): Indicates a NO READ result.

During startup, all LEDs blink for one second. The push button provides access to:

• Test Mode: With bar graph visualization for reading performance.
• Focus (Aim): Turns on the laser LED to aim the reader. The target should be placed 8 mm to the left and centered vertically with respect to the aiming pattern.
• Setup: Self-optimizes and auto-configures photometry parameters.
• Learn: Self-detects and auto-configures for reading an unknown barcode. Only one symbology type can be saved this way.

Key components of the reader include:

• Power On LED
• Ethernet Connection LED
• Mounting Holes (4)
• Aiming System Laser Source
• Lens
• Internal Illuminators
• Focus Adjustment Screw

Mounting

Use the provided mounting bracket to position the Matrix 120 reader. Common mounting configurations are illustrated. Ensure a 10°-15° skew angle on the code to avoid direct reflections.

Electrical Connections

The Matrix 120 supports various connection types:

• Ethernet + Serial Models Using Ethernet Interface: Connects via Ethernet.
• All Models Using Main Serial Port: Connects via serial interface.
• Serial + USB Models Using USB Port: Connects via USB.
• Serial + USB Models Using USB Port + I/O: Connects via USB with I/O capabilities.

I/O Connections:

Using CAB-1011 to CBX: Inputs and Outputs become opto-isolated and polarity sensitive when connected through the CBX. Requires setting Line Type to NPN. Hardware connection can be NPN or PNP. Electrical features for inputs and outputs at the CBX are detailed, including voltage and current specifications for NPN and PNP configurations.

Using CAB-1051: Recommended to maintain the same voltage levels for external power devices. Input voltage range is 5-30 Vdc, output voltage is 5 Vdc max. Wiring examples for NPN or PNP sensors and output loads are provided.

Connector Pinouts

Detailed pinouts are provided for Power - Serial - I/O Ethernet connections, including TX+, RX+, TX, RX for Ethernet, and specific functions for the 17-pin connector (Outputs, Inputs, USB, Power, GND, Reserved, Not Connected).

RS232 Main Serial Interface and RS422 FD pinouts are also specified.

Focus and Positioning

Matrix 120 models are factory calibrated at three focus positions (45, 70, 125 mm for WVGA; 45, 80, 125 mm for MP models). Use a 2.5 mm Hex key to adjust the Focus Adjustment Screw. Caution: Do not rotate beyond focus scale limits to prevent damage.

Reading ranges (DOF) for Code 128 (1D) and Data Matrix (2D) at 10 mil resolution are provided for WVGA, MP, and WA models without Polarizer, detailing Horizontal FOV and Reading Range for each focus position.

Configuration

Installing DL.CODE

1. Download the DL.CODE mini-DVD .zip file from the Datalogic website (for Windows 7, 8, or 10).
2. Extract files, run start.hta, and click 'Install DL.CODE'.
3. Follow the installation procedure. DL.CODE will be accessible via the Start Menu and a desktop icon.

Follow the Matrix 120 Reference Manual for configuration of lighting, code definition, reading phase, communication channel, data collection, and formatting.
