MATRIX 410N™ REFERENCE MANUAL 3.2 MECHANICAL DIMENSIONS Matrix 410N™ can be installed to operate in different positions. The twelve screw holes (M4 x 5) on the body of the reader are for mechanical fixture (Figure 36). The diagram below gives the overall dimensions of the reader and may be used for its installation.
MATRIX 410N™ REFERENCE MANUAL 3.3 MOUNTING AND POSITIONING MATRIX 410N™ Using the Matrix 410N™ mounting brackets you can obtain rotation on the various axes of the reader as shown in the diagram below: Skew Tilt Figure 38 –Positioning with Mounting Bracket (Back)
Page 73
In some cases, such as low contrast or low illumination, it can be useful to use a Pitch or Skew angle = 0°. Matrix 410N™ can read labels with any tilt angle. Keep in mind however, that since linear barcodes are rectangular, the reader should be aligned to fit them into the horizontal FOV.
CAB-DSxx-S accessory cables. These accessory cables terminate in a 17-pin connector on the Matrix 410N™ side and in a 25-pin male D-sub connector on the CBX side. We recommend making system connections through one of the CBX connection boxes since they offer the advantages of easy connection, easy device replacement, optoisolated output signals, and filtered reference signals.
CBX ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS NOTE: To avoid electromagnetic interference when the reader is connected to a CBX connection box, verify the jumper positions in the CBX as indicated in its Installation Manual. 4.1 POWER SUPPLY Power can be supplied to the reader through the CBX100/500 spring clamp terminal pins as shown in Figure 42: Power Supply VGND...

The maximum (theoretical) line speed LS can be calculated as follows: X / T = LS exp (max) (max) Example: A Matrix 410N™ 700-010 using: Internal Lighting Mode = Very High Power Strobe Exposure Time ( s) = 100 Code Resolution (X) = 0.254 mm (10 mils)
Page 117
READING FEATURES Likewise, T is the maximum Exposure Time value that can be used without blurring exp (max) for the given application line speed and code resolution. Therefore: X / LS (max) exp (max) and LS are represented in the graph below as the curved line for X (code exp (max) (max) resolution).

CAUTION: To avoid damage to the devices, for LT-010 and LT-011 illuminators you must correctly associate the illuminator to the Matrix 410N™ through the Current Illuminator Model item in the DL.CODE™ Device menu (Settings > Settings > Maintenance Settings). DL.CODE™ will correctly manage the following settings for these illuminators: ...
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 7 SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION Software configuration of your Matrix 410N™ for static reading or simple code reading applications can be accomplished by the Rapid Configuration procedure using the X- PRESS™ HMI (which requires no external configuration program). This procedure is described in chapter 1 Steps 4-6.
MATRIX 410N™ REFERENCE MANUAL 7.2.1 Restore Configuration You can load/restore a previously saved configuration from file or external storage device to your reader by using the Restore commands. See par. 2.4. 7.2.2 Restore Defaults The device parameters are divided into two main classes, Configuration and Environment which are affected differently by the Restore Defaults commands.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION The same action can be performed from the Device menu >Settings > Restore Defaults > Restore Default Startup Configuration. The Default Configuration will be set to run at startup and the reader will be reset. Any previously saved configurations on the device will remain in memory, but the Default configuration is set as the startup configuration.
MATRIX 410N™ REFERENCE MANUAL Restore All In order to return a device to its absolute Factory default parameters (for example device replacement) it is necessary to use the Restore All command. You will be prompted to confirm. All Environment parameters will be restored to Factory default values and any existing configurations stored on the device will be erased.
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION 7.2.4 Manual Calibration The following examples show some of the typical conditions occurring during the installation and how they can be tuned manually: Under-exposure: To correct this result it is recommended to change the following parameters in their order of appearance: 1.

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION Moving code out of the Field of View: To correct this result and have the code completely visible in FOV, it is possible to follow one or both the procedures listed below: reposition the reader use the Delay on Trigger and set the time value (µs). Figure 80 - Example out of FOV...
MATRIX 410N™ REFERENCE MANUAL 7.2.5 Multi Image Acquisition Settings When controlled variable conditions occur in the application, Multiple Image Acquisition Setups can be defined to create a database of parameter groups that handle each specific application condition. This database of pre-defined settings functions cyclically and therefore automatically improves system flexibility and readiness.
Add Cropping Region icon as shown below. In Matrix 410N™ the frame rate is dependent on the number of rows and columns in the defined window. Image cropping allows reducing the Image processing area from the full FoV to a smaller area where codes are present.
Page 128
MATRIX 410N™ REFERENCE MANUAL After clicking the Add Cropping Region icon, a blue border appears which by default is equal to the FoV. By dragging the edges with the mouse (resizing) you can crop the image to a specific location where codes are present. The numbers in the blue boxes refer to pixel references.
Page 129
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION The cropped area can also be moved by dragging the center.
MATRIX 410N™ REFERENCE MANUAL 7.2.7 Direct Part Marking Applications For Data Matrix family codes the Decoding Complexity parameter is available when Processing Mode is set to Standard and selects the decoding algorithm according to the printing/marking technique used to create the symbol and on the overall printing/marking quality.

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION Image Filter Sets the filter to be applied to the image before being processed. This parameter can be used to successfully decode particular ink-spread printed codes (ex. direct part mark codes). A different filter can be applied to each Image Acquisition Setup. The Erode Filter enlarges the image dark zones to increase readability.

MAINTENANCE 8 MAINTENANCE 8.1 CLEANING Clean the lens cover (see Figure A, 3) periodically for continued correct operation of the reader. Dust, dirt, etc. on the lens cover may alter the reading performance. Repeat the operation frequently in particularly dirty environments. Use soft material and alcohol to clean the lens cover and avoid any abrasive substances.
Connect the device and click on the link to the parameter you’re interested in. If you’re unable to fix the problem and you’re going to contact your local Datalogic office or Datalogic Partner or ARC, we suggest providing (if possible): Application Program version, Parameter Configuration file, Serial Number and Order Number of your reader.
