AV7000 LINEAR CAMERA
General Mounting Guidelines
It is important that you follow these general precautions when installing, setting up,
operating, maintaining, troubleshooting, or replacing any Datalogic products, parts or
related equipment.
As you plan and install your AV7000 camera imaging system application, be sure to keep
the following guidelines in mind:
• Follow application drawings for structural details and barcode reader placement.
• Determine the proper orientation and position of the barcode reader(s).
• Leave adequate clearances (approximately 300 mm [12 in]) for wiring.
• The first camera in the system must be installed at least 254 mm [10 in] upstream
from the focus device (DM3610, RangeFinder, light curtain, or S85) to work prop
-
erly.
• Route wires carefully to reduce or minimize electrical noise. When power and
communication wiring must cross, make their intersection perpendicular. Avoiding
sharp wire bends or loops, which can affect performance.
• Proper grounding limits the effects of noise due to Electromagnetic Interference
(EMI).
Mounting Structure Considerations
Your first task is to mount your AV7000 camera. You can provide your own mounting
structure or Datalogic can design one for you. We recommend using a Datalogic mount
-
ing structure for standard applications.
Your mounting structure must provide the following capabilities:
• It is adjustable enough for you to move your unit to the optimum position for
proper scanning.
• It allows a technician access to the barcode reader while it is mounted.
• It must be as vibration free as possible so as not to affect the scanning accuracy.
• It is constructed of steel or aluminum.
• It provides approximately 300 mm [12 in] minimum clearance on all sides. This
clearance is necessary to provide proper ventilation, allow access to all panels of
the barcode reader, and allow room for proper servicing.
