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.

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.

CONNECTING THE AC POWER INPUT CABLE  
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.

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).

CLOSING THE MX001 INDUSTRIAL CONTROL BOX  
1.  
2.  
Close the lid of the MX001 box.  
Rotate the clamp clockwise while pushing down on the lid. Then move the  
clamp to the right, positioning it over the ledge on the lid.  
3.  
Fasten the clamp in place by tightening its screw with a flat blade  
screwdriver.  
CONNECTING THE MX001 TO THE SCANNER  
The supplied, scanner link cable is used to connect the MX001 box to a TECH  
series scanner. This one meter cable carries the MX001’s control signals and is  
terminated with an 8 and a 19 pin connector. (Other cable lengths are available,  
contact Metrologic for details.)  
1.  
Find the 8-pin male end of the scanner link cable and locate the wide  
connector key found above pins A and G. Align this key with the  
corresponding key on the MX001’s signal connector. Push in on the cable  
connector slightly and rotate its ring clockwise until the connector locks in  
place with a click.  
2.  
Likewise, the 19-pin female connector found on the other end of this cable  
is connected to the 19-pin male connector on the scanner case. This  
connector is the one closest to the scanner window.

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.)  
32

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
Erratic Sensor Alarm Indication (Red A IN LED blinks):  
1. Check the positioning of the sensor to make sure it is oriented correctly.  
2. Check to see if the sensor is dirty and clean it if necessary.  
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  
adjustment correctly. If this adjustment is made incorrectly, the sensor  
may produce an erratic alarm output.  
Scanner cannot be placed in program mode using HoloSet label:  
1. Disconnect then reconnect power to the scanner. Enter scanner  
program mode by choosing Enter Program Mode from the HoloSet  
Main Menu.  
2. If the scanner has been programmed for sensor support, the scanner  
will not scan any label including the HoloSet label unless a sensor is  
connected to the MX001 box and activated.  
3. If the scanner has been programmed to support DTR, the scanner will  
not scan any label including the HoloSet label unless the DTR input is  
active.  
Scanner cannot be placed in program mode using HoloSet menu:  
1. Disconnect then reconnect power to the scanner. Retry entering  
program mode by choosing Enter Program Mode from the HoloSet  
Main Menu.  
2. Check to see if the HoloSet communication cable is plugged into your  
PC correctly.  
3. Make sure the correct COM option (COM 1 or 2 as required) is being  
used.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
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.

TROUBLESHOOTING  
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.
