Figure 3. Install the Accessories
1. VE sensor
2. O-ring (used with the lens cover)
3. C-mount lens (available separately)
4. Filter
(optional)
5. Lens cover
(optional)
An external light
(optional)
is not shown.
Note: A lens cover and a ring light cannot be used together.
1. If you are using a lens cover: Remove the black thread protector (not shown) from the sensor (1).
2. If you are using a lens cover: Fit a single o-ring (2) into the undercut area behind the sensor threads.
3. Remove the yellow temporary imager cover (not shown) from the sensor.
CAUTION: Do not remove the imager cover
until
you are ready to install the lens. Do not touch the imager. Dirt or dust
on the imager can
affect
sensing reliability.
4. Remove any
protective
covers from the lens. Handle the lens carefully to avoid smudges and dirt on the
optical
elements.
5. Thread the lens (3) onto the sensor.
6. Make sure that the lens is focused; see
on page 16.
7. Use the thumbscrews on the lens to lock the focus and aperture rings and to prevent movement that can occur during cleaning
or accidental contact.
8. If you are using a
filter:
Thread the
filter
(4) onto the front of the C-mount lens.
9. If you are using a linear
polarization
filter:
Rotate the outer
portion
of the
filter
mount to determine the
position
where glare is
reduced the most, and use the locking thumbscrew to fasten the
filter
in
position.
10. If you are using a lens cover: Thread the lens cover (5) onto the threaded
portion
of the sensor.
11. Or, if you are using an external light bracket:
Attach
an external light bracket to the sensor using the provided hardware kit.
Note: For
optimal
imaging, provide adequate
dissipation
of heat. A good heat conductor, such as aluminum, may be required.
4.2 Mount the Sensor
1. If a bracket is needed, mount the sensor onto the bracket.
2. Mount the sensor (or the sensor and the bracket) to the machine or equipment at the desired
location.
Do not
tighten
the
mounting
screws at this
time.
3. Check the sensor alignment.
4. Tighten the
mounting
screws to secure the sensor (or the sensor and the bracket) in the aligned
position.
