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.
Figure 1 – Assembling Matrix 450™ and LNS-12xx Lens
NOTE
The anti-vibration components are already mounted to all Datalogic
LNS-12xx Lenses.

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.

yellow LED indicates the status of the reading phase
COM
yellow LED indicates active communication on the main serial port*
STATUS
red LED indicates a NO READ result
* When connected to a Fieldbus network through the CBX500, the COM LED is always active, even in
the absence of data transmission, because of polling activity on the Fieldbus network.
During the reader startup (reset or restart phase), all the LEDs blink for one second.
Reader power is indicated by the blue Power LED (located near the Power connector).
Power can be applied to the reader either through the 19-pin male Power connector or the
M12 8-pin male LT-03x Lighting System connector.
The yellow Ethernet Network Presence LED (near the Ethernet connector), indicates
connection to the on-board Ethernet network.

REFERENCE READING DIAGRAMS
The following reading diagrams are to be considered as references and are given for
typical performance at 25°C using high quality grade A symbols: Code 128 (1D code) and
Data Matrix ECC 200 (2D code) from the Test Charts provided with the reader.
Testing should be performed with the actual Matrix 450™ + LT-03x assembly using
application codes in order to evaluate whether maximizing application performance
requires adjustments to the HW/SW configuration with respect to the Reference
Conditions given under each diagram.
The ratio of the Vertical FOV width with respect to the Horizontal FOV width in the
diagrams is about equal to 0.84; specifically 2050/2448. (i.e. FOV
V.
FOVH x 0.84).
The focus distance and reading distance ranges are measured from the Lens Cover
window surface.
When using a 25 mm focal length lens (LNS-1225), it is possible to use Super Narrow
Angle Lighting Systems (LT-030 or LT-031) as well as the Narrow Angle Lighting System
LT-032. It is suggested to use the LT-032 in applications with very low contrast codes
and in all cases where the higher lighting power of the LT-030 isn't necessary. LT-030
and LT-031 Lighting Systems are especially effective in high speed code movement
applications.
When defining a HW/SW configuration for the Matrix 450™ + LT-03x assembly for
conditions different from those of the reference diagrams, it is suggested to keep in mind
the following rules:
Changes in the diaphragm aperture influence the depth of field (reading distance
range) and the luminosity of the image. Increasing the the diaphragm aperture by
one stop (i.e. from F/8 to F/5.6 or from F/11 to F/8) doubles the luminosity of the
image, but can cause significant reduction in the reading distance range.
Changes in Exposure Time act directly proportional to the luminosity of the image
and inversely proportional to the maximum code reading movement speed.
Consequently, reducing the Exposure Time by half, reduces the luminosity of the
image by half but doubles the theoretical code reading movement speed.
Changes in Gain act directly proportional to the luminosity of the image.
Increasing the Gain value however, can reduce the quality of the acquired image.
The LT-030 lighting power (at the center of the field of view) is about equal to
twice that of the LT-031 and 3.5 times that of the LT-032.
For example, for the purpose of only changing the luminosity of the image, the
following three adjustments are equivalent:
increase the the diaphragm aperture by one stop;
double the Exposure Time;
double the Gain.
