When Your System Arrives
Thank you for purchasing a MX-U Series embedded machine vision system (MX-U Series Processor).
Please read the
instructions in this document before starting your system setup.
This manual explains the various parts of the MX-U Series system hardware, including the system inputs and outputs
available to integrate your system into a production line. This manual covers the entire line of MX-U Series processors.
Sections that apply to a specific model number are indicated.
When your system arrives, check the shipping cartons for wrinkled or damaged corners, holes through the cardboard, or
other signs of rough handling or abuse. If you find any signs of damage, ask the delivery service to make a note on the
delivery receipt describing the damage.
Carefully remove the system unit, cameras, cabling, and accessories from the shipping package. Place all equipment you
unpack on a table and inspect each item. Report any damage to the carrier immediately. Save all packing materials so you
can repack the shipment in case you need to move or ship it.
Temperature precautions:
If your system arrives in very cold or hot weather, allow all the equipment to reach room tem-
perature before plugging it in. Exposing a cold device to a warm room causes condensation that could damage the system
if power is applied too soon. If condensation forms, wait for it to dry completely.
System Factory Setup
Before we shipped your MX-U Series vision system, we ran the installation and setup program and specified a default
software and hardware configuration. See page 1-4 for more information about setting up the hardware. Refer to the
Impact Reference Guide for software configuration information.
