  • Page 25: Av500/Av900 Dimensions

    An AV500/AV900 reading system consists of a reader/camera for acquiring images and reading the codes on a target. Because of the reading area of the AV500/AV900 it is good choice for stationary presentation scanning systems, as well as systems over mov- ing conveyor.

  • Page 26: Applications

    No training is required for users. The large coverage area and fast acquisition rate – by AV500/AV900 – permits rapidly handling objects in sequence with great tolerance. White illumination and con- tinuous high power mode enable top performance with the maximum comfort for operators.

  • Page 27: Single Or Multi-Unit Tunnels And Arrays

    APPLICATIONS OVERVIEW Single or Multi-Unit Tunnels and Arrays Many AV500/AV900 reading system applications will read over a moving conveyor and use a network of multiple devices. • Optical Encoder Wheel (Tachometer): Used underneath a conventional conveyor. The encoder generates a pulse per specified distance (mm [in]) of conveyor travel.

  • Page 28: Image Acquisition

    The AV500/AV900 contains both the acquisition device or “imager,” which works in strict real time to acquire the best possible images and the decoding device or “decoder” in one chassis. These parts of the AV500/AV900 interpret the data received. The camera can use several kinds of external sensors: •...

  • Page 30 INTRODUCTION A typical reading station may also include: • Power Supply Systems: The AV500/AV900 requires a 24 Vdc power supply. Usually each camera has its own power supply system (i. e. PWR-480B). • External Mirrors: To cover the requested reading field, the cameras must be posi- tioned at a given distance from their targets.

  • Page 49: Mounting Structure Considerations

    Datalogic can design one for you. We recommend using a Datalogic mounting structure for standard applications. The AV500/AV900 cannot be mounted parallel to the conveyor belt. A 15 degree angle or more is required to avoid specular reflection. There must be at least 300 mm (12 in) clearance behind the unit for fan air intake! Your mounting structure must provide the following capabilities: •...
  • Page 50 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION The AV500/AV900 Camera and accessory packaging is designed to protect the unit(s) during shipment. Do not throw it away. Save all packing material in case you need to transport your unit(s) to Datalogic for any reason. 2. Remove the foam layer to 1.

    60x60 mm profile is recommended for Bosch, although 45x45 mm profiles will work; and standard 1.5” x 3” for 80/20. The following illustrations show the various typical mounting positions for the AV500/ AV900. It is important when mounting the camera that the connector panel is facing away from the conveyor so that the wiring does not interfere with product flow.

    MOUNTING Mounting Sequence: 1. The AV500/AV900 mounting bracket has two parts and comes assembled. It is packaged with your camera. Bracket M5x12 Button Head Bracket Cap Screws 2. In your mounting kit are the required number of T-bolts and nuts used to attached the mounting bracket to the station frame.
  • Page 56 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 4. Set the AV500/AV900 mounting plate in the correct position and tighten the T-bolt nuts. 5. Make sure the bolts holding bracket parts together are loose enough to allow you to rotate the bracket. Once the brackets are in the correction position (15, 30, 45 or 90 degrees) tighten the bolts.

  • Page 57: Installing The Deflection Mirror

    INSTALLING THE DEFLECTION MIRROR 7. Attach the nuts to the back of the AV500/AV900. 8. Attach the camera via the four mounting holes by sliding it into place, then tighten the nuts. INSTALLING THE DEFLECTION MIRROR EMK series External Deflection Mirrors are mounted in applications where it is not prac- tical to mount the reader in a position to achieve the full DOF.

  • Page 58: Deflection Mirror Bracket Angles

    Standard deflection mirror bracket angles are show below. The bolt indicates the locking position between the Main Bracket (blue) and the Rising Bracket (red). The angles spec- ified are reflective angles not the physical angle of the bracket or mirror. AV500/AV900 2D CAMERA...
  • Page 59 INSTALLING THE DEFLECTION MIRROR Left Back and Right Back (45 degrees) Do not mount the reader so far from the mirror that the reading area extends outside of the mirror surface. It is critical that the brackets do not stress or flex the mirror, as this will cause focusing and calibration issues.

    Rising bracket Aligning the AV500/AV900 with Deflection Mirrors When using deflection mirrors with the AV500/AV900 reader, which is typical, the mir- rors must be mounted parallel to the reader and at the correct distance to allow for proper focus and the highest read rate. Reference the system’s application drawing for distances.

  • Page 63 INSTALLING THE DEFLECTION MIRROR 5. Rotate the mirror brackets so that the correct skew angle slot as shown on the bracket (15 or 45 degrees). 6. When in position, tighten center and outer ring nuts and attach two additional bolts and nuts in place and tighten as shown in previous diagrams. To prevent mirror bowing or flexing, leave enough play with the rising bracket so if top and bottom (or left and right) brackets are not aligned you do not damage the mirror.

  • Page 65: Trigger And Focusing Device Mounting

    When required, an external device can be used to measure the position of parcels as they enter the field of view of the AV500/AV900 Camera. This information can be used by the camera to determine the correct position for optimal focusing. Proper mounting of these devices is critical to accurately determining the parcel positions.

  • Page 67: Connecting An Av500/Av900 Camera

    To turn off your camera, use a power switch or box. Do not disconnect the 5 pin power connection from the unit. If you attach the power supply to the AV500/AV900 and it is already attached to power, it may cause the AV500/AV900 to not boot correctly. Recycle power by unplugging the AC cord from the power supply and plugging it back in.
