GUIDE TO INSTALLATION

The following can be used as a checklist to verify all of the steps necessary for complete installation of the Matrix-1000 compact 2D reader.
1) Read all information in the section "Safety Precautions" at the beginning of this manual.
2) Correctly mount the reader using the bracket provided (sub-pars. under 2.2).
3) Position the reader at the correct reading distance according to your model (par. 2.5).
4) Make electrical connections to your Matrix-1000™ reader by either: a) Connecting the test cable to the Matrix-1000™ reader (par.2.4). b) Providing correct and complete system cabling according to the signals
necessary for the layout of your application.
Layout: Point-to-point or Multidrop, etc. (sub-pars: 2.6);
Cabling: Power, Main RS485, Auxiliary RS232, External Trigger Input
and Output (sub-pars. under 2.3).
5) Configure the Matrix-1000™ reader by installing and running VisiSet™ from the CD-ROM provided onto the configuration PC (pars. 3.1, 3.2, 3.3). See the Rapid Guide to Configuration in the VisiSet™ Help On Line. The main steps are:
a) Select the codes to be read b) Set-up the communication parameters c) Define data formatting parameters d) Fine tune your Matrix-1000™ reader using the VisiSet™ Calibration Tool
(par. 3.4.2).
Specific VisiSet™ parameter details are also available in the Help On Line.
6) Exit the configuration program and run your application.
The installation is now complete.

1 GENERAL FEATURES

1.1 INTRODUCTION
Matrix-1000 is an area CCD reader for industrial application using 2D, 1D, stacked and postal codes.
Matrix-1000 uses imaging technology and provides complete reading system functions by integrating: lighting system, image acquisition, image processing, decoding and communication into a single compact unit.
This technology intrinsically provides omni-directional reading.
Standard Application Program
A Standard Application Program is factory-loaded onto Matrix-1000. This program controls code reading, data formatting, serial port, and many other operating and control parameters. It is completely user configurable from a Laptop or PC using the dedicated configuration software named VisiSet™ provided on CD-ROM with the reader.
There are different programmable operating modes to suit various code reading system requirements.
A Calibration Tool is provided to verify the exact positioning of the reader and to maximize its reading performance.
Programmability
If your requirements are not met by the Standard Application Program, Custom Application Programs can be requested at your local Datalogic distributor.

1.2 DESCRIPTION
Some of the main features of this reader are given below:
Decoding of most popular linear and stacked barcodes, 2D code symbologies and postal codes
Omni-directional reading
Frame rate up to 30 frames/sec (1800 frames/min)
Moving code reading
Calibration Tool to verify exact code positioning in the Field of View and to
maximize the reading performance
Parameter configuration via Windows-based VisiSet™ software
Different operating modes to suit various application requirements
User-defined database of acquisition recipes (parameter sets)
Verifier option with a user-defined match code database
Diagnostic software tools
2 serial communication interfaces
General purpose optocoupled I/Os
Supply voltage ranges from 10 to 30 Vdc
The reader is contained in a magnesium alloy housing; the mechanical dimensions are 121 x 73 x 57 mm and it weighs about 330 g.
The protection class of the enclosure is IP64; therefore the reader is particularly suitable for industrial environments where protection against harsh external conditions is required.

Electrical connection of Power, serial interfaces and I/O signals is provided through a 25-pin connector (see Figure A, 3). In addition there is a 9-pin Auxiliary interface connector for reader configuration (see Figure A, 2).
The following indicators are located on the top of the reader:
PWR red LED indicates that the reader is connected to the power supply
(see Figure A, 7);
TRIG yellow LED indicates external trigger activity (Figure A, 6); for
details refer to par 2.3.4;
READ red LED signals successful code decoding (Figure A, 5).
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 LED indicates data transmission on the main serial interface
(Figure A, 4).

1.5 APPLICATION EXAMPLES
The Matrix-1000™ wide choice of fields of view and high performance of decoding libraries allow the reading of many small codes (see 96 vial application in Figure 1) as well as deformed and / or overprinted codes also when they are damaged or printed on high reflective surfaces (see Figures 2, 3, 4).
