4  CBX ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS All Matrix 400™ models can be connected to a CBX connection box through one of the 
available  CAB-MSxx accessory cables. These accessory cables terminate in a 19-pin 
connector on the Matrix 400™ side and in a 25-pin male D-sub connector on the CBX side. 
We recommend making system connections through one of the CBX connection boxes since 
they offer the advantages of easy connection, easy device replacement and filtered 
reference signals. 
NOTE 
If you require direct wiring to the reader the details of the connector pins and 
relative connections are indicated in Chaper 5. 
The table below gives the pinout of the CBX100/500 terminal block connectors. Use this 
pinout when the Matrix 400™ reader is connected by means of the CBX100/500:
