Installing the In-Sight 2000

To connect the In-Sight 2000 to standard components:

1. Plug the Control Pad into the In-Sight processor's CONTROL PAD connector.

2. Plug the video cable for the VGA monitor or flat-panel display into the In-Sight

processor's VGA connector.

3. Attach a C-Mount lens to the In-Sight 2000 camera. Installing a lens will allow you to see

the In-Sight 2000 acquire live video images. The exact focal length needed depends on

the working distance and the field of view desired in your machine vision application.

4. Plug one end of the camera cable into the camera's RJ-45 connector and the other end

into the In-Sight processor's CAMERA port.

CAUTION: ALWAYS POWER DOWN THE IN-SIGHT PROCESSOR BEFORE

CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING THE CAMERA. "HOT PLUGGING" THE

CAMERA CAN DAMAGE THE IN-SIGHT HARDWARE.

5. Attach the wires from a 24 VDC power supply to the 2-pin terminal plug and insert the

plug into the 24VDC receptacle.

CAUTION: NEVER CONNECT VOLTAGES OTHER THAN 24 VDC. ALWAYS OBSERVE

THE POLARITY MARKED ON THE IN-SIGHT PROCESSOR.

To verify the standard connections:

1. Turn on the VGA monitor.

2. Apply power to the In-Sight processor. If the green power status LED does not light up,

disconnect the power and check for 24 VDC and correct polarity. Reconnect the power

and try again.

3. The monitor should now display the In-Sight start-up screen, followed by a blank

spreadsheet. If not, check the monitor and its connections.

4. Press the A3 button on the Control Pad (Page 23) to display the System menu. If the

menu does not appear, check the Control Pad connection.

5. Press the A1 button (Page 23) to display a live image.

6. Adjust the camera and lens until the image is focused:

• If the image is completely black, check that the lens aperture is open, the camera is

properly connected, and there is sufficient light on the subject.

• If the image is blurry, completely gray, or completely white, adjust the camera's focus,

aperture, and working distance until the display shows a sharp image.

To stop the live video test, press any button on the Control Pad.
