Matrix-2000™ Reference Manual
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
This LED confirms successful reading. It is also used to signal successful startup. At power
READ (red)
COM (green)
on this LED turns on and after a few seconds turns off. If the startup is not successful, this
LED remains on.
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.

Autolearning configuration parameters can be saved to temporary memory
only by selecting the "Autolearning Setup>Store Memory" parameter in
VisiSet™.
NOTE
The Autolearning function on the keypad button can also be disabled by the
user via VisiSet™.
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.
If your application has been configured using Auto Learn, your reader is ready.
If necessary you can use VisiSet™ for advanced reader configuration.
NOTE
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
Matrix-2000™ emits a long low pitched beep.
will not remain on continuously but it will just stop blinking. In this case,

The reader is contained in a magnesium alloy housing; the mechanical dimensions are 121 x
73 x 57 mm and it weighs about 380 g.
The protection class of the enclosure is IP64 for all 20XX models; therefore the reader is
particularly suitable for industrial environments where protection against harsh external
conditions is required.
Electrical connection of Power, Host interfaces and I/O signals is provided through a 25-pin
connector (see Figure A, 9). In addition there is a 9-pin Auxiliary interface connector for
reader configuration (see Figure A, 10). A standard Ethernet RJ45 connector is present on
Matrix-21XX models (see Figure A, 11).

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,
5).
TRIG yellow LED indicates external trigger activity (Figure A, 6).
READ red LED signals successful code decoding (Figure A, 7).
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 is software configurable. As default it indicates: data transmission on the
main serial interface for Matrix-20XX models; Ethernet interface external connection
for Matrix-21XX models (Figure A, 8).
F1 yellow LED signals distance of code from the center of FOV during the Positioning
(Optional) procedure. The faster it blinks, the better Matrix-2000™ is positioned (see
Figure A, 4).
F2 green LED signals reader calibration with respect to image quality during the Auto
Learn procedure (see Figure A, 2).
The keypad
button is software programmable. By default it starts the Auto Learn or
Positioning procedure to calibrate and position the reader for quick installation without using
a PC (see Figure A, 3).

2.5 APPLICATION EXAMPLES
Matrix-2000™ is profitably used in the omnidirectional reading of 2D, stacked, linear and
postal codes. The powerful LED illuminator, the Matrix 2XX1 60 fps CCD sensor and the 400
MHz CPU allow the decoding of fast moving codes (over 6.0 m/s) on industrial printing lines
(see Figure 13) and in automated document handling and mail processing systems (see
Figure 14).

2.6 EXTERNAL LIGHTING SYSTEMS
In some direct part marking applications best reading results are obtained by using an
external lighting system. A series of accessory illuminators are available which cover a
variety of applications.
The LT-100 Cone Lighting System provides a circular symmetrical light source designed for
the following applications:
• with uneven or noisy background surfaces
• where dot peening or laser etching codes are directly marked onto metal surfaces or
PCBs and need to be highlighted
• in the presence of highly reflective surfaces (metal, glass, etc.) causing direct reflections
Figure 23 - LT-100 Cone Lighting System
The LT-200 Spot Lighting System provides a high intensity light source designed for the
following applications:
• with uneven, noisy and scratched surfaces
• where dot peening or laser etching codes are directly marked onto metal surfaces or
PCBs and need to be highlighted. Here the use of more than one Spot Light can remove
any shadowing effect.
• in the presence of highly reflective surfaces (metal, glass, etc.) causing direct reflections.
Low light path to surface angles strongly reduce direct reflections.
