Controller board.
NOTE – Make sure the orientation of the connectors is correct.
Incorrect orientations may result in damage to the system.
3. Connect motor Hall Sensor cable (8 pin connector) from the unit to the black 2 Axis
Motion Controller board.

to a 24 VDC power supply. Information on the polarity of the power connectors are
detailed in Section 3.2.

7. Connect the chosen camera to the C-mount thread on the end of the RE01 unit. A
universal camera mount to suit all Allied Vision Technologies cameras
recommended for use with the RE01 Imaging product is supplied with the RE01
Imaging Unit. If a different camera is chosen and it can’t be used with the mount
provided then alternative mounting arrangements should be provided.
DO NOT
allow the camera to be unsupported on the camera lens.
a) The camera lens should be rotated on the filter thread where it attaches to the
RE01 by the minimum amount required to align the body of the camera to one of
the two possible camera mount positions shown in Figure 3.12.
b) Remove two socket head screws in the base of the RE01 body in the chosen
position for the attachment of the camera mount (
DO NOT have any more than
two screws removed from the base of the RE01 at any time). Place the camera
mount in position and replace the socket screws but do not tighten until the
mount is attached to the camera.
