INTRODUCTION
Metrologic’s MX001 Industrial Control Interface enhances Metrologic’s line of
industrial laser scanners. It does this by providing a way to connect an external
object sensor to the scanner and a way for the scanner to control an external
device through an electronic switch (a TRIAC). This enables the scanner to
sense the presence of objects to be scanned and then provide a line voltage
output signal if the scanned object meets preprogrammed conditions.
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. Additionally, the MX001 can provide 12V DC power (at 200mA
maximum) to a low voltage, DC type sensor unit making external sensor power
supplies unnecessary.
The MX001’s electronic switch or TRIAC, allows the scanner to control an
external device directly by switching a line voltage output signal off or on and can
handle device loads of up to a maximum of 6 amps US and Canada, 5 amps
Europe. The switching can take place in response to a good scan, a no read
scan, or a mismatch between scanned label data and expected label data
preprogrammed into the scanner for comparison purposes. The scanner can also
activate the TRIAC switch in response to a host system command sent through
the RS-232 scanner-host communications link.
This manual shows how to wire and configure the MX001 Industrial Control Box
so that it will work properly when connected to its associated sensor, output
device and TECH series scanner. Programming the associated TECH series
scanner is necessary to define how the object sensor and TRIAC switch will
operate. Tech series industrial scanners are programmed by using Metrologic’s
HoloSet® configuration software which operates through an RS-232 port of an
IBM XT, AT or compatible PC. In order to program the scanner a HoloSet kit
containing the necessary communications cable, software and manual will be
needed. Please refer to that manual for further details on how to configure the
scanner for use with the MX001 box.

LED STATUS INDICATORS
The LED, (light emitting diode) status indicators are found just below the voltage
selector switch. They indicate the operating state of the 12V power supply, the
TRIAC and the status of the sensor and sensor alarm inputs. An LED will glow
when a circuit is active. 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.

Note:
The red TRIAC, S IN and A IN LED’s perform two functions.
Besides circuit activity (status), these indicators also monitor the
connection between the MX001 box and the scanner and will not
light if that connection is broken. Thus, if lit, the indicators also
show the user that the inter-connecting signal (link) cable between
the scanner and the MX001 box is good.

CONFIGURING THE MX001 FOR 115 OR 230 VOLT OPERATION
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. (Refer to
Figure 3)
If fuse replacement becomes necessary, replace with the same type of fuse
originally supplied. Damage to the unit may result if the same type of fuse is not
used.

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. If your application requires the use of conduit for power
wiring, these two strain reliefs can be easily removed and standard conduit
fittings can be used in their place. The smaller strain relief is used to secure the
signal/ power cable from the object sensor that is a user supplied part. The 8-pin
signal connector is used to connect the MX001 box to the scanner through the
scanner link cable.
CONNECTING EXTERNAL WIRING TO THE MX001
External wiring is connected to the MX001 by means of “lift clamp” terminal
blocks. These blocks have an opening in their base that will accept a wire with ¼
inch of insulation removed. Connections are made by first turning the terminal’s
binding screw counterclockwise with a small screwdriver which “opens” the
terminal allowing it to accept the wire. The stripped wire is then inserted into the
opening in the terminal and then clamped in place by turning the associated
terminal screw clockwise until tight.
There are two sets of terminal blocks inside the MX001. The larger set of 6
terminals on the left of the voltage selector switch handle the AC power wiring
while the smaller set of 6 terminals on the right handle the sensor wiring.
Two terminals mounted on the MX001 enclosure near the protective earthing
symbol are intended to be used for ground connection of the AC power input
cable and TRIAC controlled power output cable.
POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MX001
The MX001 control box neither supplies nor draws operating power from the
scanner to which it is connected. It contains an indepen-dent, regulated and
totally isolated 12 volt DC power supply that is used to drive the (optocoupled)
sensor and TRIAC signal circuit links to the scanner. Therefore, the MX001 must
be powered from the AC line at all times to allow it to communicate with the
scanner.

1. Make sure power is not being applied to the power cable that is to be
connected to the unit.
2. Open the terminals in the power terminal block by turning each screw
counterclockwise until there is enough space to insert wires.
3. Strip off 1 ¾ inches of the power cable’s outer jacket.
4. Strip the insulation off each cable wire ¼ of an inch.
5. Feed the power cable through the first, large strain relief on the left.
6. Connect each wire to the appropriate locations noted in the table below and
secure the wires in the terminal block and protective earthing terminal by
turning each screw clockwise. (Refer to the MX001 box or to Figure 4 for the
order of the terminals for the power wires.)
7. Secure the cable by turning the strain relief’s domed sealing nut clockwise
until tight.

CONNECTING THE TRIAC CONTROLLED POWER OUTPUT CABLE
The MX001 box contains a power line TRIAC that acts as an electronic power
output switch operated by the scanner and capable of controlling a current load
of 6 amps in the USA. In Europe, the maximum current load supported is 5
Amps. The TRIAC controlled output voltage equals the line input voltage when
the scanner activates the TRIAC. How the TRIAC will operate is defined by the
HoloSet Program.

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.

SENSOR SUPPORT
There are many different types of sensors available, which will work with the
MX001 control box.
Common types:
1.
Sensors powered independently which provide 12V, 5V, or a 10mA DC
output signal (sourcing type output).
2.
3.
Sensors that provide switch closures or relay type outputs.
Low voltage, self-contained DC sensors that provide current sourcing
and/or sinking type outputs.
4.
“Universal” self-contained sensors that provide a single pole, double throw
(SPDT) relay output.
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. (Current sourced or sunk = 10 mA.) A
switch closure (relay) type output is also supported. All output types are expected
to become active when an object has been sensed.
Additionally, some sensors also provide an “alarm” output that warns the user
when sensing conditions are becoming marginal. This optional output is also
supported through the MX001. The option forces the scanner to emit a repetitive
warning tone when the sensor’s alarm output becomes active.
How the sensor interacts with the scanner depends upon which sensor options
were chosen in the HoloSet program. Refer to that manual for further details.

SENSOR SUPPORT
Connecting the Sensor
Reference the documentation that came with your sensor to determine the
function of each sensor wire. Then, refer to one of the procedures on the
following pages that apply to your sensor for information on how to hook up the
appropriate wires and position the configuration jumper on the appropriate pins of
its header. If your sensor supports the alarm function, begin looking for the
procedure for your sensor on page 22.
Temporarily Disabling the Sensor and/or Sensor Alarm
If, during set up or maintenance, there is a need to disable the sensor and/or
sensor alarm inputs of the MX001, proceed as follows:
•
•
To disable the sensor, position the J1 (S SET UP) jumper on
pins 2 and 3 of its header.
To disable the sensor alarm, position the J2 (A SETUP) jumper on pins 2
and 3 of its header.
These procedures disconnect the sensor’s output signals from the MX001’s input
circuitry without physically disconnecting any sensor wiring.

SENSOR SUPPORT
Sensors Powered Independently that Provide Either 12V, 5V or a
10mA DC Output Signal
Caution: When configured for a 10mA DC source input, the
MX001 box expects a current limited 10 mA DC signal to be
supplied by the sensor. Failure to limit this current to 10mA can
damage the sensor input circuitry of the system.
Current limiting can be accomplished by using an external limiting resistor of the
appropriate value (which is dependent upon the sensor’s DC signal output
voltage level). This resistor is connected between the S IN+ input of the MX001
box and the sensor.

Pole/Double Throw (SPDT) Relay Output
1.
Make sure the “universal” sensor can operate on +12 volts DC at 200mA or
less. If so, then the MX001 box can supply the +12 volts necessary to
power the “universal” sensor.
2.
3.
Make sure power is not being applied to the unit.
Open the terminals in the sensor terminal block by turning each screw
counterclockwise until there is enough space to insert wires.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Strip 2 ¼ inches of the sensor cable’s outer jacket
Strip the insulation off each cable wire ¼ of an inch.
Feed the sensor cable through the small strain relief.
Insert the sensor’s +DC power input wire into the +12V OUT terminal and
secure the wire by turning the terminal’s screw clockwise. (Refer to the
MX001 box or to Figure 14 for the order of the terminals for the sensor
wires.)
8.
9.
Insert the sensor’s –DC or common power input wire and the relay output
common signal wire into the COMMON terminal and secure both wires.
Determine from the literature supplied with your sensor which sensor relay
output makes contact with its common terminal when an object is sensed. If
the output cannot be determined, go on to Step 10. Otherwise, skip to Step
11.
10. Temporarily apply power to the MX001 box to activate the sensor and then
determine with a continuity tester or ohm meter which relay output (the
normally closed [NC] or the normally open [NO] output) make contact with
the COMMON terminal when the sensor “sees” the object to be scanned.
11. Remove any power applied to the MX001 (in Step 10) and connect and
secure the relay output wire previously determined to the S IN- terminal.
(The other relay output wire may be cut off or connected to the MX001
COMMON terminal if desired).
12. Secure the cable by turning the strain relief's domed sealing nut clockwise
until tight.

SENSOR SUPPORT
Sensors Powered Independently that Provide Either 12V, 5V or a
10mA DC Output Signal with a Sensor Alarm
•
•
•
For 12V DC output signals, position the jumpers on pins 1 and 2 of the
J1 (S SET UP) and J2 (A SET UP) headers. (Refer to Figure 17)
For 5V DC output signals, position the jumpers on pins 3 and 4 of the
J1 (S SET UP) and J2 (A SET UP) headers. Refer to Figure 17)
For 10mA DC output signals, position the jumpers on pins 4 and 5 of
the J1 (S SET UP) and J2 (A SET UP) headers. (Refer to Figure 17)
Caution: When configured for a 10mA DC source input, the MX001 box
expects a current limited 10 mA DC signal to be supplied by the
sensor. Failure to limit this current to 10 mA can damage the sensor
input circuitry of the system.
Current limiting can be accomplished by using external limiting resistors of
an appropriate value (which are dependent upon the sensor’s DC signal
output voltage level). One resistor is connected between the S IN+ input of
the MX001 box and the sensor. The other resistor is connected between the
A IN+ input of the MX001 box and the sensor (for the sensor alarm circuit).

TROUBLESHOOTING
No Operation – Green LED off:
1. Check power input wiring for correct connection and security at power
terminal block. (Wires must be stripped before insertion into the terminal
block and terminal block screws must be tight, clamping the stripped
wire firmly in the block.)
2. Check for AC power input between LINE IN and NEUTRAL terminals of
the power terminal block.
3. Check F2 Control fuse.
F2 Control Fuse Open:
1. Review the MX001 manual detailing the fuse installation procedure and
check the F2 Control fuse for correct rating. (Depends upon line
voltage in use.)
2. 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.
No Operation Sensor & TRIAC with Green LED on
(other LED’s do not light):
1. Check that the scanner link cable is connected to the MX001 and
scanner.
2. Check the connection of the MX001 internal link cable to the printed
circuit board at J3 (Lower right corner).
3. Check for proper connection of the sensor (if used) plus proper
positioning of the S and A set up jumpers at J1 and J2. (Depends upon
sensor type.)
4. Check for proper HoloSet programming of the TRIAC. (To check TRIAC
output, temporarily program the scanner via HoloSet to support only the
TRIAC with TRIAC Normally On. This will activate the red TRIAC LED
and the TRIAC output continuously.)

TROUBLESHOOTING
No TRIAC Output with Red TRIAC LED On:
1.
Check that the TRIAC load is properly connected to the TRIAC
terminal block. (Wires must be stripped before insertion into the
terminal block and terminal block screws must be tight, clamping the
stripped wire firmly in the block.)
2.
3.
Check for AC power output between the TRIAC OUT and NEUTRAL
terminals of the TRIAC terminal block when the TRIAC LED is on.
Check the fuse in the F1 TRIAC fuse holder.
F1 TRIAC Fuse Open:
1.
2.
Review the section detailing the fuse installation procedure and
check the F1 TRIAC fuse for correct rating (10 or 6.3 Amps). Make
sure one of the F2 CONTROL fuses have not been installed in place
of the correct TRIAC fuse.
Check that the TRIAC load has been properly connected to the
TRIAC terminal block and does not draw current greater than the
rating of the F1 TRIAC fuse installed (10 Amp in USA or 6.3 Amp in
Europe/Asia).
3.
4.
Check that the TRIAC load does not draw an excessively large
surge or start up current that is beyond the capabilities of the MX001
fuse rating.
Check to make sure the TRIAC load is not or has not been
accidentally shorted. If a short is found, remove the short and check
for proper TRIAC operation after installing a new F1 TRIAC fuse.
(See item 5.)
5.
Disconnect the normal TRIAC load and temporarily connect a 60W
light bulb in a wired test socket to the TRIAC output. If the bulb does
not light when the red LED TRIAC indicator is on after a new fuse
has been installed or if the bulb lights continuously with the red 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
TRIAC Output Active with Red TRIAC LED off:
Tests for AC power output from the TRIAC should only be made when a device
or load is connected between the TRIAC OUT and NEUTRAL terminals of the
TRIAC terminal block. Attempting to measure output voltage with nothing
connected to the TRIAC terminal block will result in a false output reading which
may show partial or full line voltage present at all times. 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.
To test properly for AC power output from the TRIAC, temporarily connect a 60W
light bulb in a wired test socket to the TRIAC output. This lamp will provide a
proper load for the TRIAC. If the bulb lights when the red LED TRIAC indicator is
OFF, then MX001 circuit damage is indicated as the problem. The unit can be
damaged if the TRIAC output is accidentally shorted.
No Sensor Input Indication (Red S in LED does not light):
1. Review the documentation that came with your sensor to learn the type
of output the sensor provides. Review the MX001 manual and find the
set up procedure that applies to your sensor. Check for proper
connection of the sensor to the MX001 sensor terminal block plus
proper positioning of the S set up jumper J1. (Depends upon sensor
type in use.)
2. Check your sensor for output indication. Most sensors have a small
indicator on them or their controller that lights when the sensor output is
active. Make sure the sensor is active when expected.
3. Check the positioning of the sensor making sure it is oriented correctly.
4. Check sensor gain/sensitivity adjustment for correctness. Most sensors
provide this adjustment to adapt to various sensing conditions. Check to
see if the gain/sensitivity is not set too low in diffuse proximity type
sensors or not set too high in beam break type sensors. Review the
documentation that came with your sensor to learn how to make this
adjustment correctly.
5. Make sure the MX001 scanner link cable is connected to both the
scanner and the MX001.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Reversed Sensor Input Indication
(Red S in LED goes off when object is sensed):
1. Some sensors provide the option of output activation when they sense
or do not sense an object. 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. Review the documentation that came with
your sensor to learn what type of output it provides and how to configure
it.
2. Some sensors that provide switch closure type output provide both
normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) switched outputs. If the
sensor as connected is providing a reversed sensing condition (switch
closure when no object is being sensed), disconnect the switched
output used and connect the other switched output in its place.
3. If the sensor in use provides an output only when an object is not being
sensed and cannot be configured otherwise, contact Metrologic for
special instructions on how to adapt to this type of sensor.
Erratic Sensor Operation:
1. Check the sensor wiring for correct connection and security at the
sensor terminal block. (wires must be stripped before insertion into the
terminal block and terminal block screws must be tight, clamping the
stripped wire firmly in the block.)
2. Check the positioning of the sensor making sure it is oriented correctly
and not dirty.
3. Check sensor gain/sensitivity adjustments for correctness. Most sensors
provide this adjustment to adapt to various sensing conditions. Review
the documentation that came with your sensor to learn how to make this
adjustment correctly. If this adjustment is made incorrectly, the sensor
will act erratically.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Continuous Sensor Input Indication
(Red S IN LED continuously on):
1. Review the documentation that came with your sensor to learn the type
of output the sensor provides. Review the MX001 manual and find the
set up procedure that applies to your sensor. Check for proper
connection of the sensor to the MX001 sensor terminal block plus
proper positioning of the S set up jumper at J1. (Depends upon sensor
type in use.)
2. Check your sensor for output indication. Most sensors have a small
indicator on them or their controller that lights when the sensor output is
active. Make sure the sensor is not providing a continuous output.
3. Some sensors provide the option of output activation when they sense
or do not sense an object. Having the sensor set up to produce an
output when it does NOT sense an object will result in continuous
sensor output when the sensor is idle. Review the documentation that
came with your sensor to learn what type of output it provides and how
to configure it. The MX001 box expects to receive an active output
signal from the sensor (source voltage/current or switch closure) when
an object to be scanned is being sensed.
4. Check sensor gain/sensitivity adjustment for correctness. Most sensors
provide this adjustment to adapt to various sensing conditions. Check to
see if the gain/sensitivity is not set too low in beam break type sensors
or not set to high in diffuse proximity type sensors. Review the
documentation that came with your sensor to learn how to make this
adjustment correctly.
Continuous Sensor Alarm Indication
(Red A IN LED continuously on):
1. Review the documentation that came with your sensor to learn the type
of alarm output the sensor provides. Review the MX001 manual and
find the set up procedure that applies to your sensor. 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.
2. If the sensor in use provides an alarm output only when sensor
conditions are not marginal and cannot be configured otherwise,
contact Metrologic for special instructions on how to adapt to this type of
sensor.

3. Check sensor gain/sensitivity adjustment for correctness. Most sensors
provide this adjustment to adapt to various sensing conditions. Review
the documentation that came with your sensor to learn how to make this

Operational Check Out Procedure for the MX001 Box:
The following procedure provides a basic test of the MX001 hardware and
confirms effective communication with the HoloSet program. This quick test
should be preformed before the MX001 box has been configured by the HoloSet
program for its final application. These steps are not required for proper
installation and application programming of the MX001 box.
1. Do not connect a sensor to the MX001 at this time. Tighten each sensor
terminal block screw by turning each screw clockwise.
2. Temporarily place both S and A SET UP jumpers (J1 and J2) at
positions 5 and 6.
3. Connect a standard 60W light bulb in a wired test socket to the TRIAC
terminal block at the TRIAC OUT and NEUTRAL terminals. This lamp
will act as a load for the TRIAC. (Do Not try to monitor TRIAC output
without a load connected.)
4. Connect the MX001 box to the scanner with the scanner link cable.
5. Apply power to both the MX001 and the scanner. The green LED inside
the MX001 should light.
6. If a volt meter is available, measure the DC output voltage between the
+12V OUT and COMMON terminals on the sensor terminal block. This
voltage should be between 11.5 and 12.5 volts DC.
7. Temporarily program the TECH options of the scanner using HoloSet
for the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Support Line Sensor
Support Line Sensor Alarm
Support TRIAC
TRIAC Normally On
Activate on No Read
8. After programming, the MX001’s red TRIAC LED should light and the
test light bulb should be on.
9. Short the S IN- terminal screw to the COMMON terminal screw with a
short piece of wire. The red S IN LED should light and the test light bulb
connected to the TRIAC output should flash off then back on.

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.
11. Disconnect then reconnect power to the scanner. Enter scanner
program mode by choosing Enter Program Mode from the HoloSet
Main Menu. (Do not try to use the HoloSet bar code label at this time)
DISABLE all TECH options then re-program the scanner. This
neutralizes the test program disabling the unconnected sensor inputs
and turns the TRIAC output off.
12. If needed, the scanner can now be programmed for your particular
application.
