1. Introduction
The MDI-2300 CMOS two-dimensional scan engine consists of MSI-2300 camera module
(hereafter called “camera module”) and a decoder board developed specifically for the MDI-2300
(hereafter called “decoder board”). This guide provides instructions for installing the camera
module and the decoder board.
2. Exit Window Material and Placement
zFor the best optical quality, use an acrylic material (cast or extruded) for the exit window.
zSelect a high-quality achromatic acrylic material with a smooth, flat surface and no scratches
or dents.
zThe acrylic material should be 1 mm thick and have an anti-reflective (AR) coating applied to
both sides of the exit window.
zIt is recommended to apply an anti-scratch coating to the surface of the exit window to
protect it from scratches during operation.
zHard coated acrylic plates are readily available. Such a coating greatly enhances anti-
scratch properties without degrading the optical characteristics of the acrylic material.
zTo protect the exit window from dust, stains, and scratches during assembly, a protective
sheet was attached. This should be removed before operation.
zAfter removing the protective sheet, use an ion-blower or other method to remove any dust
that may have been attracted by static electricity.
Recommended acrylic material:
Nitto Jushi Kogyo Co., Ltd. “Clarex Precision Thin Sheet”
MITSUBISHI RAYON CO., LTD. “Acrylite”

zThe exit window must be positioned to accommodate limitations of distance and inclination.
Design the layout within the range specified in the following diagram and associated table.
L [mm] 1.6 2 3 4 5 6 7 9 12
Θcw [deg] >6° >9.5° >20° >25° >25° >30° >30° >25° >25°
θccw [deg] >6° >9.5° >20° >25° >25° >30° >30° >25° >25°
* When installing the exit window most closely to the scan engine, take the following range
including the tolerance.
L=1.6, θcw and θccw <6°(deg)
* The Maximum exit window inclination is up to 40 degrees in both directions, θcw and θccw.
Image eclipse caused by insufficient exit window size, and LED illumination entering the central
part due to improper angle-settings should be checked in the design phase. The check can be
done by acquiring images from the camera module.

zWindow size and optical path clearance:
With respect to the optical path depicted below, provide an exit window with sufficient
clearance.
Install the window with sufficient clearance for FOV, Illumination, Laser Aiming.

3. Installation
zWhen installing a camera module, use the crew holes on the bottom surface.
zDo not screw down further than the specified depth.
zWhen installing a camera module, only the bottom surface of the camera module should be
attached to a chassis for installation.
zKeep enough clearance to avoid damage to the camera module in case the host device is
dropped and damaged.
zShock / impact resistance of the camera module to the acceleration applied via the bottom
surface is guaranteed. In case of direct shock, the camera module will almost certainly be
damaged since it consists of precise optical elements.
zUse the mounting hole with screw clamp to install the decoder board.
zThe size of the screw head must not exceed the diameter of the mounting land (φ3.8).
Installation conditions - camera module side:
Recommended screw : M2x0.4 (depth max 2.7)
Tightening torque : 12N_cm or less
Do not screw down further than 3.3mm from the mounting surface of the camera module.
Installation conditions - decoder board side:
Recommended screw : M2 (Do not use a countersunk screw)
Tightening torque : 12N_cm or less
4. EMC measures
From a regulatory point of view this device is considered to be a component. Therefore
requirements of EMC directive 89/336/EEC do not apply. To the end product in which this
module will be incorporated this directive is however applicable.
In order to achieve compliance to EN 55022 (class B ITE equipment) following measured are
recommended for integration:
zApply a metal chassis as ground plane to mount-on both the camera module and the
decoder board.
zApply two ferrite cores on the flat-cable between camera module and decoder board (see
picture below).
Recommended type ferrite cores: Murata FSSA101005RNN00S

6. Handling Requirements
¾Use anti-static measures such as a grounding strap before handling the scan engine in order
to avoid damage to the electronic components from electrostatic discharge.
¾Hold the scan engine only by the metal case. Do not touch the circuit board or the front side
of the scan engine when handling it.
¾Do not touch the electronic components or the terminals on the circuit board.
¾Installation in a clean environment is recommended in order to protect the imaging lens from
dust.
¾Operators should wear gloves to avoid contaminating the optical elements.
¾Do not drop the MDI-2300.
