    REA VeriCube Version REA VeriCube Standard The REA VeriCube, in the standard design, has 13 screws on the upper side. With the exception of any two screws, all the others can be removed. The plate is either in blue or silver in color. The screws have Torx T10 heads.

  • Page 18: Rea Vericube Uv

    REA VeriCube UV The REA VeriCube UV has an ultraviolet illumination as an alternative to the red light illumination with 660 nm. For this alternative illumination there are arranged 16 UV- LEDs with a wavelength of 365 nm in the unit.
  • Page 19 The focusing plane of the camera module in UV is shifted in relation to that in red light. If the REA VeriCube UV is to be used for measurements with red light, it is essential that a suitable camera module is then used for red light.

  • Page 20: Rea Vericube Ir

    REA has two different versions for infrared lighting in its portfolio. The REA VeriCube IR can be purchased as a variant with 855 nm or with 945 nm. With these types of device, IR is always the alternative lighting to red light. For this alternative lighting, the device contains 16 IR LEDs with a wavelength of 855 nm or 945 nm.

  • Page 21: System Requirements

    When the REA VeriCube is subjected to temperature changes (e.g. when it is utilized in heated rooms after transport in winter), condensation can occur on the optical parts. In such an instant, wait for about 15 min before the REA VeriCube can be used.

  • Page 22: Connecting

    The REA VeriCube is delivered with two identical network cables.
