Maintaining Your Camera
Follow these simple tips to keep your camera clean and functioning at peak performance:
Just like with mirrors, you will need to clean the camera lens periodically. Use lens wipes to gently
clean the camera lens as needed.
Your camera system comes with a lens cap. When using the camera, remove this lens and keep in a
safe place. It is recommended that this cap be placed on the camera lens when the camera is
not in use.
Just like with mirror alignment, it may occasionally be necessary to correct the camera offset if the
camera is bumped or jostled. Follow the “Correcting Offset Camera Calibration” instructions below.
Camera: Height Calibration
Muse can detect the height of the material using the camera features. It is possible, however, that the
height calibration can be jarred out of alignment. To check height calibration, follow these instructions:
Height Calibration Test
1. Remove all objects from the interior workspace, including the honeycomb tray.
2. On the Touch Screen, click the camera icon. A popup screen will appear.
3. Click “New Height Measurement”. You will see a range of numbers appear. If the numbers are all
within 5/-5, the height calibration is acceptable. If the numbers are not within 5/-5, you will need to
adjust Height Calibration.
Height Calibration Procedure
1. On the Touch Screen, click the settings icon. Then click “Advanced”. Scroll to the bottom
of the page.
2. Click “Calibrate Height”. You will receive the following warning:
“Changing Height Calibration may invalidate custom Position Calibration data on the device.
It’s recommended to run this before calibrating camera position. If you already have position
calibration, this will be incorrect and must be recalibrated if height calibration is changed.”
3. Click “Conrm”. The following instructions will appear:
“This page lets you calibrate the height measurement laser for the camera. It’s recommended to
use a stack of 18 US Quarters and opaque tape to reduce the reectivity. However, if you don’t
have this, you can enter a custom calibration material thickness. All objects you use for height
calibration must be of identical height. Start with nothing in the laser bed for an initial measurement.
Then place three quarters, or your custom material, under the red laser. Click measure, then repeat
with more height each time until enough data has been collected.”
Again, it is required that the interior workspace be free of all objects, including the honeycomb tray.
4. Click “Measure”. The laser head will move to a xed position in the workspace. Place your three
stacked quarters under the red beam dot. Click Measure and repeat until 5 measurements are
taken. Note that the editable height default is 5.25 millimeters, the height of 3 US quarters. This
number can be adjusted for other coins or measuring blocks. After the 5 measurements, the Total
Height Measurement should be equal to or greater than 30 millimeters.
It is important to note that when a new height calibration is performed, the position calibration will
have to be re-calibrated, as well. This is not the case in reverse, however, and height calibration is
not necessary after position calibration
