•  Up to 200 readable codes in the same reading phase 
•  Calibration Tool to verify exact code positioning in the Field of View and to maximize the 
reading performance 
•  Ethernet interface (Matrix-21XX only) with TCP/IP socket for reader parameter 
configuration, data and image transfer, HTTP server, FTP and mail client, etc. 
•  Windows-based VisiSet™ software to configure the reader parameter via PC serial or 
Ethernet interface

The reader is contained in a magnesium alloy housing; the mechanical dimensions are 121 x 
73 x 57 mm and it weighs about 380 g. 
The protection class of the enclosure is IP64 for all 20XX models; therefore the reader is 
particularly suitable for industrial environments where protection against harsh external 
conditions is required. 
Electrical connection of Power, Host interfaces and I/O signals is provided through a 25-pin 
connector (see Figure A, 9). In addition there is a 9-pin Auxiliary interface connector for 
reader configuration (see Figure A, 10). A standard Ethernet RJ45 connector is present on 
Matrix-21XX models (see Figure A, 11).
