Z-Trak2 3D Profiler Sensors
If the Z-Trak2 is used in a location with direct sunlight or any other type of bright full spectrum
lighting, profiles may distort due to interference with the laser emission. Bright ambient light of
wavelength close to that of the laser will pass through the 3D sensor filter and interfere with
measurements.
Users need to control such ambient illumination conditions so that the laser line profiles are
distinctly detected.
Powering Z-Trak2 with PoE+
A PoE+ injector or a PoE+ Ethernet switch can be used to power Z-Trak2 devices. The picture
below uses a PoE+ Ethernet switch. One or more Z-Trak2 units can be powered using an Ethernet
switch.
Connect power via the I/O or PoE, not both
. Although Z-Trak2 has protection,
differences in ground levels may cause operational issues or electrical faults.
Heat management is a factor when using PoE+ with 5 GigE rates. See section
Temperature management for details.
