REA VeriCube IR
The REA VeriCube IR has an infrared illumination as an alternative to the red light
illumination with 660 nm.
REA has two different versions for infrared lighting in its portfolio.
The REA VeriCube IR can be purchased as a variant with 855 nm or with 945 nm.
With these types of device, IR is always the alternative lighting to red light. For this
alternative lighting, the device contains 16 IR LEDs with a wavelength of 855 nm or
945 nm.
Handling, adjustment and calibration are the same with the REA VeriCube IR as with
the standard device. However, it should be noted that due to unavoidable reflections
through the glass pane, a warning appears during Level correction: "Level correction
finished with a warning. Warning: the calibration card seems dirty. Please clean it.
However, on this occasion the adjustment result has been accepted. [0x20081285].“
This warning can be noted in this case, but work can still continue normally.
The reflections can only be prevented if both the adjustment and the measurements
afterwards are performed without the glass pane. This is also permitted. However, it
must be taken into account that the mirror in the device and the camera lens will
then become contaminated by dust more quickly and therefore have to be cleaned
regularly. As long as the device is not in operation it should be protected against
dust.
Attention:
The focusing plane of the camera module with IR lighting is shifted in
relation to that in red light. If the REA VeriCube IR is to be used for
measurements with red light, it is essential that a suitable camera module
is then used for red light.

Power supply
The power for the VeriCube is supplied via a network cable connected to the device.
This type of power supply is designated as
P
ower
o
ver
E
thernet (
PoE
) (power supply
over a network cable). The delivered power supply unit provides power to a
connected device only when the device is designed for a power over Ethernet supply.
It is not recommended to connect a non PoE-enabled power supply device to the OUT
connection of the power supply unit. A second cable or additional separate power
supply unit is not necessary. The delivered network cables are, apart from the
increased flexibility, standard off-the-shelf network cables.
