1 Safety

b

 Read the entire Quickstart before using the device.

b

 Connection, assembly, and settings must be performed by 

competent technicians.

b

 Do not connect external I/O signals to the device while it is 

powered. This may damage the device.

b

 Protect the device from moisture and dirt during operation.

b

 Do not use the device in areas with risk for explosion.

b

 Safe operation of lasers (accessory) depend on the type of 

lasers being used. Carefully read the safety instructions in 

the laser’s manual.

2 Product Specification

Ranger E is a high-speed 3D camera that can measure up to 

35,000 shape profiles/s. The camera can also operate in a 

MultiScan mode, where it can simultaneously measure 3D, 

grayscale, scatter, gloss, etc. 
Ranger D is an alternative to the Ranger E, for use where 

mid-speed performance is sufficient (see 

 C 

). The Ranger 

D measures 3D with as high resolution, but requires less 

configuration, and does not offer the possibility of MultiScan.
The Ranger serves as a data streamer, from which the 

measurement data is transferred through a Gigabit Ethernet 

connection to a PC for further processing.
The Ranger can be started, stopped and configured by applica-

tions running on the PC. Note that the 3D Camera Develop-

ment software is required to build such applications.
The Ranger E/D is intended to be the vision component in a 

machine vision system.
The ISM Radio Frequency Classification is Group 1, Class A 

(EN55011). 
Warning:  Class A equipment is intended to be used in an 

industrial environment. 

3 Connections 

 B 

Ranger E/D is connected to a 24 V DC power supply, and to a 

PC running Windows 7/XP equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet 

network board:

b

 The power supply is connected to the Power I/O connector 

(M12 connector).

b

 The Gigabit Ethernet board in the PC is connected to the 

Gigabit Ethernet connector (RJ45), either directly or through 

an Ethernet switch.

b

 I/O signals that are used, for example pulse trigger signals 

from encoders or the laser trigger signal from the Ranger 

camera, are connected to the Power I/O and the Encoder 

connector respectively (M12 connector).

4 System Requirements

b

 PC

Recommended: Windows XP Pro 32/64 bit or 

Windows 7 32/64 bit, at least 4 GB memory, 

Gigabit Ethernet network card supporting jumbo 

frames.

b

 Ethernet 

cable

Up to 70 m using CAT 6 cables. 

For longer distances or tough environments, 

opto cables can be used.  

5 Installation 

 D 

b

 Install the Gigabit Ethernet board (

 a 

) and the 3D Camera 

Development software (

 b 

) on the PC.

b

 Attach a lens to the Ranger (

 c 

).

b

 Mount the Ranger, additional light sources, and other equip-

ment to be used by the vision system such as encoders and 

photoelectric switches for triggering.

b

 If the I/O signals are used, connect the equipment using the 

signals to the Power I/O or Encoder connector of the Ranger.

 

A Ranger E/D Power-I/O terminal (

 d 

) can also be used 

for connecting I/O signals to the Ranger. It offers screw 

terminals for connecting the signals, and connects to the 

Ranger with a Ranger E/D Power-I/O-Encoder Y-cable (

 e 

).

b

 Connect the Gigabit Ethernet connector on the Ranger to a 

dedicated Gigabit network, or directly to the Gigabit network 

connector on the PC using a Gigabit Ethernet cable (

 f 

). 

b

 Connect an unpowered 24 V DC power supply (

 g 

) to the 

Power I/O connector on the Ranger, or to the power plug on 

the Ranger E/D Power-I/O terminal.

b

 Switch on the power supply.

For detailed installation instructions, see the Ranger E/D 

Reference Manual that can be found on the 3D Camera 

Development software CD, or be downloaded from: 

visionsupport.sick.com

6 Service and Maintenance

The Ranger E/D contain no user serviceable parts inside. The 

warranty of the device will be void if opened.

b

 Check screw connections and connectors at regular 

intervals.

b

 Clean the housing with a soft cloth, dry or dampened with a 

mild water diluted cleaning agent without powder additives.

In case of unit failure, please contact SICK or a SICK represen-

tative that delivered the unit for further instructions.
