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

READ (red)

This LED confirms successful reading. 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)

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.
