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 set screws on the lens.
b. Adjust the Focus ring to the "Far position" and the Diaphragm ring to the smallest "F" number setting
(diaphragm open).
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 7.
At long focal 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 set screw.
b. Adjust the Diaphragm ring to the "F4" number setting
which is the preferred setting to complete the
installation procedures. Tighten the Diaphragm set
screw.
