4 Installation Instructions4.1 Install the Accessories12 3 54Figure 3. Install the Accessories1. VE sensor2. 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 opticalelements.5. Thread the lens (3) onto the sensor.6. Make sure that the lens is focused; see Acquire a Good Image on page 16.7. Use the thumbscrews on the lens to lock the focus and aperture rings and to prevent movement that can occur duringcleaning 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 whereglare 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 providedhardware kit.NOTE: For optimal imaging, provide adequate dissipation of heat. A good heat conductor, such as aluminum, maybe required.4.2 Mount the Sensor1. 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 tightenthe 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.4.3 Connect the Cables1 2 34Figure 4. Cable Connections1. Power, Discrete I/O connection2. Light connection3. Ethernet connection4. Ethernet indicator1. Connect the Ethernet cable to the sensor (3) and to the computer or Ethernet switch.2. Connect the power, discrete I/O cable to the sensor (1), and the leads to the appropriate locations. See Table 1 onpage 13 for the power, discrete I/O connections.VE Series Smart Camera12 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: 763.544.3164
