Page 5: Introduction
The MX001 can be configured to support any object sensor that can supply a 12V, 5V or 10mA output signal. It will also support switch closure (relay) type sensor output. -
Page 6: Opening The Mx001 Industrial Control Box
PENING THE NDUSTRIAL ONTROL To open the MX001 box for wiring and configuration, proceed as follows: Loosen the lid clamp screw with a flat blade screwdriver. Disengage the clamp by pushing the lid down, then move the clamp to the left, and rotate it outward in a counterclockwise direction. -
Page 7: Internal Components
NTERNAL OMPONENTS The following illustration and list explain the parts that pertain to the installation and operation of the MX001. Control TRIAC Triac S IN A IN Figure 1 1. Power Transformer Supplies a stepped down and isolated voltage that produces the 12V DC power for the industrial control box and external sensor. -
Page 8: Led Status Indicators
From these visual indications, it can be determined if the MX001 box is active and what action the scanner and sensor are performing in your system. The following list explains the function of each indicator. They appear inside the box in the order illustrated in Figure 2. -
Page 9: Usa: 115V Operation
ONFIGURING THE PERATION Before applying power to the MX001, it must first be configured for either 115 or 230 volt operation as required. This is accomplished by using the voltage selector switch and the installation of the proper fuses. Refer to one of the procedures on the following pages that apply to your voltage requirement to learn which fuses should be inserted into the F1 and F2 fuse holders. -

Page 13: Locating The Three Strain Reliefs And The Signal Connector
There are three strain reliefs and one 8-pin signal connector located on the bottom of the MX001 box. The two large strain reliefs on the left side allow the use of flexible cordage for MX001 power input and controlled power (TRIAC) output in that order. -

Page 16: Temporarily Disabling The Triac Output
If, during set up or maintenance, there is a need to disable the TRIAC output of the MX001, simply remove the F1 TRIAC fuse. This disconnects the AC line voltage from the TRIAC circuitry and output terminal block, but leaves the TRIAC LED indicator active allowing checks to be made for TRIAC circuit activity without activating the TRIAC controlled device. -
Page 17: Sensor Support
In all cases, the sensor’s output signal or switch closure is expected to become active when an object has been sensed. The easiest sensor to use with the MX001 is a low voltage (a 10-30 volt) DC, self contained, sensor. The industrial control box can power this type of sensor with 12V DC at 200 mA maximum and will interface to either a (PNP) current sourcing, or (NPN) current sinking output. -

TO THE CANNER The supplied, scanner link cable is used to connect the MX001 box to a TECH series scanner. This one meter cable carries the MX001’s control signals and is terminated with an 8 and a 19 pin connector. (Other cable lengths are available, contact Metrologic for details.) -

F2 Control fuse for correct rating. (Depends upon line voltage in use.) If a low voltage DC type sensor is connected to the MX001 and is using the MX001 as its power source (+12V OUT in use), make sure this sensor does not draw more than 200mA of current from the MX001 or that the sensor is incorrectly connected or shorted. - Page 37 LED TRIAC indicator off, then MX001 TRIAC circuit damage is indicated. The Mx001 can be damaged if the TRIAC output is accidentally shorted. NOTE: TRIAC load refers to the device that is connected by the MX001 TRIAC.
- Page 38 This is due to the TRIAC snubber circuit in the MX001 that protects the TRIAC from surge damage due to inductive loads. This circuit produces a small amount of AC output (5mA) at the TRIAC terminal block that can be measured when no load is connected there but is of no consequence otherwise.
- Page 39 Having the sensor set up to produce an output when it does not sense an object will result in reversed sensing conditions. The MX001 expects to receive an active output signal from the sensor (source voltage/current or switch closure) when the object to be scanned is being sensed.
- Page 40 Check for proper connection of the sensor alarm output to the MX001 sensor terminal block plus proper positioning of the A Set Up jumper at J2. The MX001 expects to receive an active alarm output signal from the sensor (source voltage/current or switch closure) when sensing conditions have become marginal.
- Page 41 If the scanner has been programmed for sensor support, the scanner will not scan any label including the HoloSet label unless a sensor is connected to the MX001 box and activated. If the scanner has been programmed to support DTR, the scanner will not scan any label including the HoloSet label unless the DTR input is active.
- Page 42 These steps are not required for proper installation and application programming of the MX001 box. Do not connect a sensor to the MX001 at this time. Tighten each sensor terminal block screw by turning each screw clockwise.
- Page 43 ROUBLESHOOTING 10. Short the A IN- terminal screw to the COMMON terminal screw with a short piece of wire. The red A IN LED should light and the scanner should emit a repetitive warning tone as long as this connection is maintained.
