Getting started
The purpose of this chapter is to quickly and easily connect the camera and capture
initial 2D and 3D images. A connection module, e.g. CDB650-204, can be used to
simplify the connection procedure.
NOTE
Before using the product in a production environment, the complete operating instruc‐
tions must have been read and understood.
3.1
Mounting the device
The camera and the laser are fitted so that the laser illuminates the object from one
direction and the camera views the object from another direction.
•
Mount the device with respect to the defined field of view.
•
The laser line must be vertical and perpendicular to the movement direction of the
object.
•
Make sure that the camera is properly cooled.

NOTICE
•
Never connect any signals while the camera is powered.
•
Never connect a powered Power-I/O terminal or powered I/O signals to a camera.
•
Never connect a powered encoder interface unit to a camera.
•
Never connect signal levels that exceed the input specification to the encoder
inputs.
