STEP 1 – ASSEMBLE THE READER
The first step to perform is to assemble the accessories that make up the Matrix
reader. The lens and either an internal or an external illuminator must be used. This
procedure shows an internal illuminator.
Matrix 400™ must be disconnected from the power supply during this
procedure.
CAUTION
1. In a dust-free environment, remove the Matrix 400™ Lens Cover by unscrewing it.
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
CAUTION
these surfaces during cleaning.
400™
2. Remove the sensor protection label by pulling it off of the base.
3. Mount the lens by screwing it tightly onto the base.
4. If using an internal illuminator:
a. Mount the 4 internal illuminator spacers into the holes provided on the base.
b. Align and mount the Illuminator board tightly onto the spacers using the 4 screws
provided in the illuminator package. The spacers are positioned asymmetrically to
avoid incorrect alignment.
5. To keep dust and dirt off of the lens during mounting, temporarily replace the lens cover.

3. Refer to the Reading Features table in chp. 7 for FOV calculation and minimum
distance requirements according to the base/lens combination used for your
application.
Rapid Configuration of the Matrix 400™ 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
NOTE
to your needs.
STEP 4 – FOCUS THE READER
Matrix 400™ 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:
a. Loosen the two Locking Knobs on the lens.
b. Adjust the Focus ring to the "Far position" and the Diaphragm ring to the "F4"
number setting which is the preferred setting for installation.
1
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.
5. Release the button to enter the Focus function. The Blue Diamonds™ turn on.
The procedure is as follows:
A) Adjust the Focus ring towards the "Near position" until
the Blue Diamonds™ are perfectly in focus, see
Figure 8.
At long foca
l 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.

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 400™ must acquire
information regarding image density or PPI (pixels per inch). This calibration takes place
through the X-PRESS™ Interface and the Grade A Barcode Test 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.
Locate
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™ turn on.
3. From the Grade A Barcode Test Chart, select the
longest code whose length fits between the two Blue
Diamonds™. Rotate the code 90 degrees and
position the code at the center of the FOV
(equidistant from the Blue Diamonds™).
4. Exit the Focus function by pressing the X-PRESS™
push button once. The Blue Diamonds™ turn off.

Place the Grade A Barcode Test Chart in front of the reader at the correct reading
distance (see step 3 and the Optical Accessory Selection table in the par. 7.1).
3.
Press the "Positioning" button. The reader continuously acquires images and gives visual
feedback in the view image window. Select the largest code from the chart that
completely fits into the view image window. Move the reader (or code) to center it. The
code must be aligned across the X-axis reference line at the center of the FOV. See
figure below.
Press the Positioning button again to stop positioning.

STEP 9 – TEST MODE
Use a code suitable to your application to test the reading performance of the system.
1. Enter the Test function by pressing and holding the X-PRESS™ push button until the
Test LED is on.
2. Release the button to enter the Test function.
Once entered, the Bar Graph on the five LEDs is activated and if the reader starts
reading codes the Bar-Graph shows the Good Read Rate. In case of no read condition,
only the STATUS LED is on and blinks.

ADVANCED READER CONFIGURATION
For further details on advanced product configuration, refer to the VisiSet™ Help On-Line.
The following are alternative or advanced reader configuration methods:
Advanced Configuration Using VisiSet™
Advanced configuration can be performed through the VisiSet™ program by selecting
Device> Get Configuration From Temporary Memory to open the Parameter Setup window in
off-line mode. Advanced configuration is addressed to expert users being able to complete a
detailed reader configuration. The desired parameters can be defined in the various folders
of the Parameter Setup window and then sent to the reader memory (either Temporary or
Permanent):
Figure 18 - VisiSet™ Parameter Setup Window
Host Mode Programming
The reader can also be configured from a host computer using the Host Mode programming
procedure, by commands via the serial interface. See the Host Mode Programming file on
the CD-ROM.
Alternative Layouts
If you need to install an Ethernet network, ID-NET™ network, Fieldbus network, PassThrough network, Multiplexer network or an RS232 Master/Slave refer to the Matrix 400™
Reference Manual.
Code Quality Verification
Matrix 400™ can be used as a Code Quality Verifier according to the ISO/IEC 15415,
ISO/IEC 15416, AS9132, and AIM DPM Standards. For more details see the Matrix 400™
Code Quality Verifier Solution manual on the CD-ROM.
