Blocking RangeFinder Codewords on Narrow Belts
In applications where the conveyor is less than 40-inches wide, it is
necessary to block the RangeFinder laser pattern (also called codewords)
that is projected beyond the edges of the conveyor.
WARNING:
The RangeFinder uses visible red lasers and is rated as a
Class 2 Laser Product. Do not look directly into the beam. Observe all
safety precautions outlined in
Chapter 2.
Prerequisites:
Know the package flow (i.e., justified, non-justified) and usable belt width
(i.e., width of conveyor in which packages appear in the scanning area)
Remember: The RangeFinder cannot measure any further left and right
than where the codewords end. Allow at least one inch (25.4 mm) of
additional codewords to extend beyond the usable belt width.
RangeFinder power must be ON to see the laser pattern on the belt.
RangeFinder must be level
.
Tools Required:
Beam Blocker Kit (PN 1000067401, ships with RangeFinder)
Socket Driver (1/2”)
Install and adjust the beam blockers:
1. Mount the beam blockers to the structure.
2. Attach loosely with the hardware provided. Do not tighten.
3. While viewing the codewords on the belt, adjust the beam blockers to
within one inch (25.4 mm) of the usable belt width on both sides by
sliding them in the structure channel.
4. Once the correct amount of codewords are blocked, tighten hardware.
