III. Theory
3.0. Introduction
This chapter contains a complete overview of the different optical GENIUS Compact confi gurations
and their advantages. A short explanation will be given of the different technologies and techniques that
are being used. For an explanation of the laser technology used in the laser box option, please check
chapter 7.
3.1. The Different Optical Confi gurations
To give the user a clear picture of the different possibilities, 2 different scan zones are defi ned on the
sorter. The fi rst scan zone (zone 1) is located on the belt, the second zone (zone 2) is located just after
the belt, in the so-called free fall zone.
In every scan zone the number of cameras can vary (from 1 to 4 + laser box), and many of the different
options can be combined. In general, one can say that all options can be combined in any number of
different confi gurations, as long as only 8 camera signals are needed (a laser box will occupy one or two
signals depending on the number of lasers). The only exception of the L and the N option in the upper
part of the second scan zone, for these two cannot be present at the same time, due to lack of space.
