DIMENSIONING SETUP AND CALIBRATION
To adjust the Field of View and Angle Offset (Viewing Downstream):
1. Starting with HEAD1, place the tallest box defined by the application on the side of the
belt furthest from HEAD1.
2. Change the Field of View of HEAD1 to 20, and click Update.
3. Increase the Field of View by 10-degree increments until the beam spans across the
dimensioning area reaching from just beyond the top of the box to just beyond the edge
of the conveyor below HEAD1.
4. Then, make small adjustments to the Field of View and Angle Offset for HEAD1 until
the laser beam covers the dimensioning area. The right side of the laser beam should
extend approximately 25mm [1-inch] to 50mm [2-inches] beyond the top outside edge of
the box, and left side of the laser beam should end at the edge of the conveyor. Make
sure the right side of the beam falls completely on the beam catcher.

5. Moving on to HEAD2, place the tallest box defined by the application on the side of the
belt furthest from HEAD2.
6. Change the Field of View of HEAD2 to 20, and click Update.
7. Increase the Field of View of by 10-degree increments until the beam spans across the
dimensioning area from just beyond the top of the box to just beyond the edge of the
conveyor below HEAD2.
8. Then, make small adjustments to the Field of View and Angle Offset for HEAD2 until
the laser beam covers the dimensioning area. The left side of the laser beam should
extend approximately one inch beyond the top surface of the box, and the right side of
the laser beam should end at the edge of the conveyor. Make sure the left side of the
laser beam falls completely on the beam catcher.
