1 I NTRODUCTION 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)....

4 LED S TATUS I NDICATORS 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 the...

5 C ONFIGURING THE MX001 FOR 115 OR 230 V OLT O PERATION 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 procedure...

11 C ONNECTING THE TRIAC C ONTROLLED P OWER O UTPUT C ABLE 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 TRI...

12 T EMPORARILY D ISABLING THE TRIAC O UTPUT 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...
