STEP 3 – MOUNT AND POSITION THE CAMERA
1. Mounting solutions are provided in Chapter 0 of this Hardware Guide.
STEP 4 – FOCUS THE CAMERA
1. Remove the lens cover.
2. Attach the correct accessory lens for your application.
3. Replace the lens cover, if needed.
4. Power the camera on. On the connector side of the camera near the cable, the “POWER
ON” LED (blue) indicates the camera is correctly powered.
5. Start Impact Vision Program Manager (VPM) and use it to connect to the camera.
6. Direct the camera toward a correctly lighted calibration image or other clearly defined object.
7. Select the Settings tab, then click the Camera system object.
8. In the Camera Setup tab, click the Live button.
9. Adjust the lens until the image is clearly in focus in the VPM image window.
STEP 5 – CALIBRATE IMAGE DENSITY
In order to function correctly when inspecting images, the camera needs the image resolution or
PPI (pixels per inch). This calibration procedure is necessary for first time installation, if the lens
type is changed, or if the focal distance is changed.
There are several methods available for calibrating the camera. Refer to the Calibration Panel
section of the Impact Reference Guide (Publication # 843-0093) for complete details.
