Introduction The iVu TG Image Sensor is used to monitor labels, parts, and packaging for type, size, orientation, shape, and location. The sensor has an integrated color touch screen display making installation, setup and configuration easy without requiring a PC.
TG Quick Start Guide Installing and Connecting the Sensor The iVu TG sensor requires a bracket for mounting. Three brackets are available from Ban- ner. The brackets allow the sensor to be mounted either perpendicular to the part or at an adjustable angle.
NOTE: Microlens models show, C-Mount model connections are identical. Cable Connections for the iVu TG with a Remote Display The cable connections on the iVu sensor are shown below, and power I/O connections (B) are defined in the Power I/O Connections table below.

Demo Mode The first time you power up the iVu TG sensor, it starts in Demo Mode. Demo Mode uses stored images and inspection parameters that demonstrate how the sensor is set up without having to worry about focus, lighting, or triggers. In this mode, you can learn how to make adjustments working with the three sensor types while observing how the adjustments affect the sensor results.
• Capture the shape and form of the target object with lighting that optimizes its contrast and separates it from the background. Depending on the target, this may mean the integral ring light is not the best choice and other Banner lights should be consid- ered.

TG Quick Start Guide For Micro-lens Models Only: 1. Use the supplied 1/16" hex key to loosen the Focusing Window locking screw (D), then adjust focus on the iVu Series sensor using the clear Focusing Window (B). 2. Adjust focus while monitoring the focus number. To ensure the best image, adjust the focus until the Focus Number peaks.

Configuring an Area Sensor The flow chart at left provides an overview of the steps to setting up an inspection on the iVu TG sensor as an Area sensor. Start 1. Make sure you have a good part to use for the inspection setup. Normally, the part being in-...
TG Quick Start Guide Configuring a Blemish Sensor The flow chart at left provides an overview of the steps to setting up an inspection on the iVu TG sensor as a Blemish sensor. Start 1. Make sure you have a good part to use for the inspection setup. Normally, the part being inspected is centered in the field of view with the feature of interest surrounded by the Re- gion of Interest (ROI), the blue rectangle.
Configuring a Match Sensor The flow chart at left provides an overview of the steps to setting up an inspection on the iVu TG sensor as a Match sensor. Start 1. Make sure you use a good part for the inspection setup. Normally, the part will be centered in the field of view with the feature of interest surrounded by the Region of Interest (ROI), a blue rectangle.
TG Quick Start Guide Adjusting for Motion When the sensor is configured as an Area or Blemish sensor, it can automatically adjust for motion of inspected parts in the field of view. Motion parameter settings are enabled by going to Main Menu > Sensor > Motion . With Motion enabled, a new menu is available in the Main Menu >...
