    Lumidigm M-Series M3xx Modules Mechanical Integration Guide, PLT-02217, Rev. A.0 Introduction Thank you for your interest in the Lumidigm M-Series M3xx modules. After a brief overview, there are three main sections in this document. First we discuss the human factor considerations that must be taken into account when designing the ergonomics of a successful M-Series module-based product.
  • Page 5: Human Factor Considerations

    Lumidigm M-Series M3xx Modules Mechanical Integration Guide, PLT-02217, Rev. A.0 2 Human Factor Considerations To achieve the highest biometric performance and the fastest transaction times, the enclosure design incorporating the M3xx module must consider human factors. For a biometric device, it is important to take a design approach that makes finger placement intuitive and naturally guides finger placement to rapidly achieve optimal finger position.
  • Page 6: Human Factor Design Discussion

    Lumidigm M-Series M3xx Modules Mechanical Integration Guide, PLT-02217, Rev. A.0 • Enclosure materials and ergonomic features should be kept as thin as possible around the platen area to allow easy contact with the platen and avoid the creation of a depression so deep that finger–platen contact is difficult to achieve. •...

A.0 or enforce stable placement so that once a finger is placed, subsequent movement is minimized for about 150ms. • The actual opening in the ergonomic feature that is in contact with the M3xx sensor head should remain rectangular to provide a reliable sealing surface between the ergonomic and the sensor head.
  • Page 8: Mounting Considerations

    Lumidigm M-Series M3xx Modules Mechanical Integration Guide, PLT-02217, Rev. A.0 3 Mounting Considerations Presence Detection Illumination System The PD illumination system is directional and the user must approach the sensor from the correct direction, the side opposite of where the flex cable enters the M3xx sensor head. The mechanical design of the enclosure should enforce this approach direction.

A.0 Figure 4: PD Figure 5: PD illumination pattern, illumination pattern, side view front view 3.2 Sensor Head The M30x and the M31x product lines use the same sensor head. Figure 6 shows a cutaway view of the M3xx sensor head showing the platen area, enclosure, and an assembly consisting of a PCB with the imager and LEDs and a plastic element that contains lenses for the LEDs and the imager itself.
  • Page 10 Lumidigm M-Series M3xx Modules Mechanical Integration Guide, PLT-02217, Rev. A.0 The enclosure is constructed from plastic which can be deformed by incorrect or poorly- designed mounting. Thus, while the design itself is resilient, care must be taken while mounting to ensure that pressure is sufficient to seal the platen area but not so excessive that the M3xx sensor head enclosure is deformed.
  • Page 11 Lumidigm M-Series M3xx Modules Mechanical Integration Guide, PLT-02217, Rev. A.0 It is strongly suggested that the customer mechanical design be completed in a way such that the capture features used to secure the M3xx sensor head to the enclosure have positive stop features so that the pressure set can be reliably achieved without careful control of retaining screw torque.

  • Page 13: Sensor Head Mounting Summary

    Lumidigm M-Series M3xx Modules Mechanical Integration Guide, PLT-02217, Rev. A.0 Once the pressure set and compressive properties of the gasket material are determined, the final design consideration is reviewing the overall design for part-to-part tolerances so that when the M3xx is secured to the enclosure, the required minimum gasket pressure is achieved for the loosest part-to-part stack up.

    Lumidigm M-Series M3xx Modules Mechanical Integration Guide, PLT-02217, Rev. A.0 4 Environmental Considerations Previous sections provided mounting approaches that result in an IP65-rated seal where the M3xx platen area meets the external environment. This section provides additional design guidance for engineers responsible for designing an outdoor enclosure containing the M3xx.

    Lumidigm M-Series M3xx Modules Mechanical Integration Guide, PLT-02217, Rev. A.0 4.6 Background Light Considerations The M3xx imaging system uses a direct imaging path, similar to that of a camera, to take pictures of the finger. It transforms these pictures into a contrast-enhanced grayscale fingerprint image.
  • Page 26: Condensation Considerations

    Lumidigm M-Series M3xx Modules Mechanical Integration Guide, PLT-02217, Rev. A.0 4.7 Condensation Considerations Any enclosure with an interior air mass containing water vapor must provide controls to prevent or manage condensation. Condensation will form on any surface with a temperature at or below the dew point of the air mass. The dew point temperature is a function of the absolute amount of water present in the air mass and the air mass temperature.

    Lumidigm M-Series M3xx Modules Mechanical Integration Guide, PLT-02217, Rev. A.0 This not only helps make sure the interior platen temperature is warmer than the enclosure air mass, but it also addresses the human comfort issues mentioned in the earlier discussion on temperature control.
