Setting Up the System
WARNING
: To avoid damage to your unit,
never
plug in or unplug any cables when the unit power is on. Always shut-
down the processor and turn off the power supply first before making any cable changes.
NOTE: When a new processor is powered on the first time, a monitor, keyboard, and mouse must be connected to the pro-
cessor to approve the license agreement.
1. Familiarize yourself with the major system components as shown in this manual.
2. Unpack and check all the equipment.
3. Mount the MX-U Series Processor and power supply in their desired positions as indicated in the mounting
instructions (see “Processor Installation” on page 2-3). Make sure all vents have at least 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) of
clearance for sufficient ventilation. Be aware of USB camera connector cable length limits.
4.
Connect the I/O cable, optional monitor, and optional keyboard to the MX-U Series Processor. Connect the I/O
cable to the terminal block. When a new processor is powered on the first time, a monitor, keyboard, and mouse
must be connected to the processor to approve the license agreement.
5. Attach the appropriate lens for the application to the camera. Mount the MX-U Series camera, lighting, and
optional power supply. See “Mounting the Camera” on page 3-3.
NOTE: Do not leave the camera imager uncovered. When you remove the lens cap, you must replace it with a lens.
6. Connect the camera to a Processor USB 3.0 port using a Datalogic USB 3.0 cable. See “Top Panel Connections”
on page 1-6.
7. You are ready to wire the hardware. See “Processor I/O” on page 4-1 for details about input/output schematics for
your MX-U Series system. Wiring specifications for all cables are described in “Cable Reference” on page 5-1.
8. Wire the MX-U Series camera’s strobe and trigger connections to the camera’s terminal blocks. See “Connecting
the Camera” on page 3-5.
