A reseller is acquainted with specific types of businesses, application software, and computer systems and can provide individualized assistance. All necessary firmware is installed on the P2x-Series™ camera at the factory. Vision Pro- gram Manager (VPM) software must be installed to configure the camera inputs, strobe, general purpose outputs, and internal illuminators.
HANDLING Led Safety For all Datalogic P2X compatible internal illuminators, LED emission is classified as Risk Group 1 according to EN 62471: 2010. HANDLING The P2x-Series™ camera is designed to be used in an industrial environment and is built to withstand vibration and shock when correctly installed. However, it is also a precision product and it must be handled correctly before and during installation to avoid damage.

CALIBRATION CALIBRATION VPM provides calibration software to insure that the measurements indicated in VPM tools accurately relate to the inspected object’s measurements. You may calibrate a camera using a calibrated target, a part with known dimensions, or you can enter the camera’s units-per-pixel factor manually.
One Image Acquisition Setting could enable and use an inter- nal illuminator and another setting could enable and use an external lighting system. The P2x-Series offers two Illuminators options (14 or 36 LEDs) and standard or polarized cover to remove LED reflection.
Glossy labels • Labels under plastic films By removing LED reflection, P2x-Series™ with polarized illuminators features extreme mounting flexibility, as it can be mounted 90° to the target surface. This in turn avoids code distortion and allows more reliable code grading.
Coaxial Field Illumination When the light hits the surface, most of it will reflect away from the lens and produce a dark image. Coaxial lights hit the surface perpendicular to the object plane providing a diffuse illumination and reducing shadowing. P2X-SERIES™...
Page 63
LIGHTNING Dark Field Illumination Lighting of surfaces at wide angles used to avoid direct reflection of the light into the camera’s lens. Typically this type of lighting is used in solutions to enhance reflectance of the uneven surface. It is also used with very reflective surfaces. Structured Field Illumination The light is projected with a known shading pattern on the target.
Impact Reference Guide. • If you’re unable to fix the problem and you’re going to contact your local Datalogic office or Datalogic Partner, we suggest providing (if possible): software version, Serial Number, and Order Number of your camera. You can get some of this infor- mation while VPM is connected to the camera.
