STEP 1 – ASSEMBLE THE READER
The first step to perform is to assemble the accessories that make up the Matrix 450™
reader. The lens and lighting system or external illuminator must be used. This procedure
shows an LT-03x lighting system.
CAUTION
Matrix 450™ must be disconnected from the power supply during this
procedure.
1. In a dust-free environment, remove the Matrix 450™ Lens Cover by unscrewing it.
CAUTION
Do not touch the sensor aperture, lens glass or lens cover glass. These
areas must be kept clean. Avoid any abrasive substances that might
damage these surfaces during cleaning.
2. Remove the sensor protection label by pulling it off of the base.
3. Mount the LNS-12xx lens by slowly screwing it onto the base until it arrives at the
mechanical stop.
NOTE
The lens mount is equipped with a special slip mechanism and together
with the LT-03x design facilitates the focusing procedure during installation,
for example if the locking knobs on the lens are obstructed by the body of
the illuminator. See note in Step 4 "Focusing the Reader" or Step 8.

NOTE
The anti-vibration components are already mounted to all Datalogic
LNS-12xx Lenses.
4. To keep dust and dirt off of the lens during mounting, temporarily replace the lens cover.

The mating bracket can be mounted in the reverse direction to create a
compact version of the Matrix 450™ + LT-03x assembly. The compact
assembly however will reduce access to the lens for the focusing procedure.

STEP 2 – CONNECT THE SYSTEM
In the typical standalone layout shown in the figure below a serial host is connected to the
Matrix 450™ + LT-03x. The reader operates in One Shot or Phase Mode and can use an
external trigger to signal image acquisition.
The CBX is used to facilitate the connection between the Matrix 450™ + LT-03x assembly
and the serial host interface, external trigger, serial aux configuration, and optional input and
output devices.
Matrix 450™ Standalone Layout to Serial Host
Power Supply Connection
Use the PG-120 power Kit (3 versions for European, UK or US plug) and CAB-PG-0002
+ BA400 connector to connect the PG-120 to the CBX. An alternative power supply to the
PG-120 is the PWR-120.
CBX Connection
Use CAB-LP-0x to supply power from the CBX to the LT-03x. Connect Brown/White
wires to Vdc and Black/Blue wires to GND. Connect the cable shield to Earth ground.
Use CAB-MS0x between Matrix 450™ and the CBX for: power, serial host, external
trigger device (photocell), serial aux, additional I/O connections.
Optionally: use the CAB-GE0x for the Gigabit Ethernet connection towards a remote host
or Datalogic WebSentinel™ monitoring station.
Matrix 450™ LT-03x Connection
Use the CAB-LD-102 (no power) cable (provided with the LT-03x), to connect the
communication signals between the Matrix 450™ and the LT-03x while isolating the
power. Through the CBX internal power switch you can control power to the Matrix 450™
independently from the LT-03x.
NOTE
Matrix 450™ does not support sourcing power towards the CBX in order to
power I/O devices. These devices must be powered through the CBX or
from an external source.

Alternatively, Matrix 450™ + LT-03x can be connected directly to an Ethernet host through
the Gigabit Ethernet connection (CAB-GE0x). If an external trigger is not necessary, the
layout is simplified. The LT-03x is powered directly from the PG-120 through the CAB-PG0105 cable. The CAB-LD-002 (with power) cable (provided with the LT-03x), is used to
supply power to the Matrix 450™ from the LT-03x.
Matrix 450™ Standalone Layout to Ethernet Host
Matrix 450™ + LT-03x can also be used in an ID-NET™ Master/Slave configuration. See the
Matrix 450™ Reference Manual for details, including power supply recommendations.
NOTE
If using separate power sources for LT-03x and Matrix 450™, make sure
that LT-03x is powered up before Matrix 450™ in order to be correctly
recognized.

STEP 3 – MOUNT AND POSITION THE READER
1. To mount the Matrix 450™ + LT-03x assembly, use the L-shaped mounting bracket to
obtain the most suitable position for the reader. The most common mounting
configurations are shown in the figure below. Other mounting solutions are provided in
the Matrix 450™ Reference Manual.
Figure 3 –Positioning with LT-03x L-shaped Mounting Bracket
CAUTION
Do not mount the Matrix 450™ + LT-03x assembly with the Matrix 450™
body mounting bracket accessory. The body mounting bracket is not
designed to support the LT-03x.
2. When mounting the Matrix 450™ + LT-03x assembly, 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. Assure at least 10° Pitch or Skew to avoid direct illuminator
light reflection which will reduce performance.
3. Refer to the Reading Diagrams to determine the correct reading distance according to
your application requirements.
NOTE
Rapid Configuration of the Matrix 450™ reader can be made either through
the X-PRESS™ interface (steps 4-6) which requires no PC connection, or
by using the VisiSet™ Setup Wizard (steps 7-8). Select the procedure
according to your needs.
Both the X-PRESS™ interface and the VisiSet™ Setup Wizard are easy setup methods valid
for single code applications with uniform labels that do not require reading at the extreme
ends of the reading ranges shown in the diagrams.
For advanced applications including those that operate at the extreme ends of the reading
ranges, use the VisiSet™ Calibration Tool. See the Help On Line for more details.

STEP 4 – FOCUS THE READER
Matrix 450™ provides a built-in tool called Blue Diamonds™ to aid focusing the reader. The
Blue Diamonds™ are accessed through the X-PRESS™ Interface.
1. Remove the lens cover in order to focus the reader.
2. Prepare the correct accessory lens for your application:
NOTE
Once the lens is fully tightened to the mechanical stop (Step 1), it can be
rotated counterclockwise (up to one full turn without loosening the lens), so
that the diaphragm scale and locking knobs can be easily accessed from
behind the LT-03x.
a. Remove the anti-vibration o-ring from the two Locking Knobs on the lens and loosen
them.
b. Adjust the Focus ring to the "Far position" and the Diaphragm ring to the "F2.8"
number setting which is the preferred setting for installation using the X-PRESS™
interface.
3. Power the reader on. During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs
blink for one second. On the connector side of the reader near the cable, the “POWER
ON” LED (blue) indicates the reader is correctly powered.
4. Enter the Focus function by pressing and holding the X-PRESS™ push button until the
Focus LED is on.
Figure 4 – X-PRESS™ Interface: Focus Function
5. Release the button to enter the Focus function. The Blue Diamonds™ and laser pointers
turn on.
NOTE
If the reading surface is too dark, in order to increase the contrast, it may be
helpful to place a piece of white paper at the Blue Diamonds™ positions to
see them better.
The procedure is as follows:
a. At the correct reading distance
(see the Reading Diagrams in this Quick Reference
Guide), adjust the Focus ring towards the "Near position" until the Blue Diamonds™
are perfectly in focus, see Figure 5.
b. At long focal distances a "skew" angle may cause a noticeable difference in focus
between the two diamonds, in this case select the best possible focus (both diamonds
slightly out of focus). Tighten the Focus Locking Knob.
c. Set the Diaphragm to the aperture stop (F-number) stated in the conditions relative to
the selected reading diagram and then tighten the Diaphragm Locking Knob.
d. Replace the anti-vibration o-ring onto the two Locking Knobs.
NOTE
If necessary you can use the Fine Focusing Tool in the VisiSet™ Setup
Wizard for fine focusing. See Step 8.

6. Exit the Focus function by pressing the X-PRESS™ push button once. The Blue
Diamonds™ turn off.
7. Replace the lens cover, screwing it tightly to the base.
STEP 5 – CALIBRATE IMAGE DENSITY
In order to function correctly to the fullest extent of its capabilities, Matrix 450™ must acquire
information regarding image density or PPI (pixels per inch). This calibration takes place
through the X-PRESS™ Interface and the Focusing and PPI Setup Chart included in the
package. This procedure is necessary for the first time installation, if the lens type is changed
or if the focal distance is changed.

1. Enter the Focus function by pressing and holding the X-PRESS™ push button until the
Focus LED is on.
2. Release the button to enter the Focus function. The Blue Diamonds™ and laser pointers
turn on.

Horizontal FOV (aligned with the laser pointers).
