Quick Start Guide
EZ Match Imager
P/N 83-210051 Rev B
Step 3 — Position Imager
•
Place the imager in an area with as little ambient light as possible.
•
Place a black surface behind the area in which test tubes, caps, or symbols
will be inspected by the imager.
The black background provides the contrast necessary for the imager to
detect the presence or absence of objects in its field of view.
•
Position the imager at a focal distance between
2
and
6
inches from a
sample tube, cap, or symbol.
•
Position the imager relative to the object to avoid the glare of direct
(specular) reflection.
Important:
Avoid excessive skew or pitch. Maximum
skew is
±30°
; maximum pitch is
±30°
.
•
Objects can be rotated at any angle; however, for best results, objects
should be aligned with the FOV (field of view).
Note:
For accuracy of testing and performance, Microscan recommends
using a mounting arm adapter kit. Contact your Microscan sales manager
for details about mounting arm adapter kits and other accessories.
