HANDLING

The Matrix-2000™ is designed to be used in an industrial environment and is built to

withstand vibration and shock when correctly installed, however it is also a precision product

and therefore before and during installation it must be handled correctly to avoid damage.

• avoid that the readers are dropped (exceeding shock limits).

• do not fine tune the positioning by striking the reader or bracket.

• do not weld the reader into position which can cause electrostatic, heat or reading

window damage.

• do not spray paint near the reader which can cause reading window damage.

1 RAPID CONFIGURATION

STEP 1 – CONNECTING THE SYSTEM

To connect the system in a Stand Alone configuration, you need the hardware indicated in

Figure 1. In this layout the data is transmitted to the Host on the main serial interface.

The RS232 auxiliary interface can be used for reader configuration by connecting a laptop

computer running VisiSet™.

When One Shot or Phase Mode Operating mode is used, the reader is activated by an

External Trigger (photoelectric sensor) when the object enters its reading zone.

STEP 2 – MOUNTING AND POSITIONING THE SYSTEM

1. To mount the Matrix-2000™, use the mounting bracket to obtain the most suitable

position for the reader as shown in the figures below.

Figure 5 - Positioning with Mounting Bracket

2. When mounting the Matrix-2000™ take into consideration these three ideal label position

angles: Pitch or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°, although the reader can read a code at any Tilt

angle.

Minimize Assure at least 10° Minimize

Figure 6 – Pitch, Skew and Tilt Angles

3. Refer to the Reading Features in chp. 7 to determine the distance your reader should be

positioned at.

STEP 3 – AUTOLEARNING CONFIGURATION

An autolearning procedure is available to reduce installation time.

Status and diagnostic information are clearly presented by means

of four colored LEDs, whereas the single push button and F1 and

F2 LEDs give immediate access to the following relevant

functions:

• Positioning (F1) gives visual feedback from the F1 LED to

help center the code in the reader's FOV without external

tools or software programs

• Auto Learn (F2) to self-detect and auto-configure

calibration and code setting parameters

• Restore Default (F3) to return to factory default settings

The colors and meaning of the four status LEDs are illustrated in the following table:

PWR (red) This LED indicates the device is powered

TRIG (yellow) This LED indicates the external trigger activity

READ (red)

This LED confirms successful reading. It is also used to signal successful startup. At power

on this LED turns on and after a few seconds turns off. If the startup is not successful, this

LED remains on.

COM (green)

This LED indicates active communication on the main serial port (Ethernet port for 21xx

models). This LED is also software configurable.

Auto Learn

If you are configuring your reader using the Auto Learn procedure:

1. Place the desired code in front of the reader at the correct reading distance (depending

on the model, see the Reading Features table in chp 7).

2. Enter the Auto Learn function (F2) by pressing and holding the push button until only the

F2 LED is on: Matrix-2000™ also beeps twice.

3. Release the button to enter the Auto Learn function.

Once entered, the reader acquires an image and automatically configures the optimal

Exposure Time and Gain parameters for static reading, as well as detecting and

recognizing the code, which is presented to it. The F2 LED blinks during this process.

4. At the end of the procedure, the new configuration parameters will be stored to

permanent memory, the F2 LED remains on continuously and then the function

automatically exits, the F2 LED turns off. Matrix-2000™ also emits 3 high pitched beeps.

If the Auto Learn calibration cannot be reached within a short timeout (max. 1 minute),

Matrix-2000™ will exit without saving the configuration parameters, the F2 LED

will not

remain on continuously but it will just stop blinking. In this case, Matrix-2000™ emits a long

low pitched beep.

To cancel the Auto Learn function without saving the configuration parameters, press and

hold the keypad button at any time during the procedure: the F2 LED will stop blinking and

Matrix-2000™ will emit a long low pitched beep.

RAPID CONFIGURATION

NOTE

Autolearning configuration parameters can be saved to temporary memory

only by selecting the "Autolearning Setup>Store Memory" parameter in

VisiSet™.

The Autolearning function on the keypad button can also be disabled by the

user via VisiSet™.

green

Auto Learn (F2)

Figure 7 – Auto Learn Function

Repeat the procedure if needed, to program different code symbologies, however you must

present only one code at a time to the reader.

Matrix-2000™ is able to decode any code symbology in its library with this procedure.

NOTE

If your application has been configured using Auto Learn, your reader is ready.

If necessary you can use VisiSet™ for advanced reader configuration.

Positioning (Optional)

At the end of the Auto Learn procedure, you can use the Positioning procedure to center the

code with respect to the reader's FOV.

1. While the desired code is in front of the reader at the correct reading distance, enter the

Positioning function (F1) by pressing and holding the push button until only the F1 LED is

on: Matrix-2000™ also beeps once.

2. Release the button to enter the Positioning function.

Once entered, the reader continuously acquires images and gives visual feedback using

the F1 LED to indicate when the code is centered with respect to the reader's FOV. Slow

blinking means that the positioning value must be improved.

3. To obtain the best value in terms of positioning, move the code and/or the reader so as to

position the code as close as possible to the center of the Field of View, keeping the

correct focus distance. Check F1 LED blinking: the best code positioning corresponds to

fast (almost continuous) blinking.

4. After a short timeout the function automatically exits, the F1 LED remains on continuously

and then stops blinking. Matrix-2000™ also emits 3 high pitched beeps.

If no valid code is present in the FOV, after about 3 minutes, Matrix-2000™ will automatically

exit, the F1 LED

will not remain on continuously but it will just stop blinking. In this case,

Matrix-2000™ emits a long low pitched beep.

To cancel the Positioning function, press and hold the keypad button at any time during the

procedure: the F1 LED will stop blinking and Matrix-2000™ will emit a long low pitched beep.

Restore Default (Optional)

At any time you can use the Restore Default procedure to return the reader to the factory

default settings.

1. Enter the Restore Default function (F3) by pressing and holding the push button until both

the F1 and F2 LEDs are on: Matrix-2000™ also beeps three times.

2. Release the button to perform the Restore Default function.

STEP 4 – INSTALLING VISISET™ CONFIGURATION PROGRAM

VisiSet

™

is a Datalogic reader configuration tool providing several important advantages:

• Autolearning Wizard for rapid configuration and for new users;

• Defined configuration directly stored in the reader;

• Communication protocol independent from the physical interface allowing to consider the

reader as a remote object to be configured and monitored.

To install VisiSet™, turn on the PC that will be used for the configuration, running

Windows 98, 2000/NT, XP or Vista, then insert the VisiSet™ CD-ROM, wait for the CD to

autorun and follow the installation procedure.

This configuration procedure assumes a laptop computer, running VisiSet™, is connected to

the reader's auxiliary port.

After installing and running the VisiSet™ software program the following window:

Figure 10 - VisiSet™ Opening Window

Set the communication parameters from the "Options" menu. Then select "Connect", the

following window appears:

Figure 11 - VisiSet™ Main Window After Connection

The Autolearning Wizard option is advised for rapid configuration or for new users. It allows

reader configuration in a few easy steps.

STEP 5 – CONFIGURATION USING AUTOLEARNING WIZARD

1. Select the Autolearning Wizard button from the Main menu.

2. Place the desired code in front of the reader at the correct reading distance (depending

on the model, see the Reading Features table in par. 7.1).

3. Press the "Positioning" button. The reader continuously acquires images and gives visual

feedback in the view image window to indicate when the code is centered with respect to

the reader's FOV. Move the reader (or code) to center it. Press the Positioning button

again to stop positioning.

4. Select a Calibration Mode choice and press the "Calibrate" button.
