CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION PRODUCTION DESCRIPTION The AV7000 Camera is a high performance linear camera with an integrated image pro- cessing system dedicated to automatic code identification on moving parcels. This chapter introduces the basic concepts necessary for camera installation and setup.
• “Other Camera Checks” on page 285 READING STATION OVERVIEW The AV7000 camera reading system consists of two pieces: 1. A barcode reader/camera for acquiring images and locating and reading the codes on a target. 2. A lighting system for illuminating the target codes to be acquired.
Image Acquisition Each barcode reader contains two distinct groups of devices: • The acquisition device or "camera." This part of the AV7000 has to work in strict real time to acquire the best possible images. • The decoding device or “decoder." This part of the AV7000 interprets the data received through the camera.
Based on the AV7000 mounting position, the unit tries to acquire one (reading angle alpha = 15°) or two faces of the parcel (alpha = +/-45°). The AV7000 can process a maxi- mum package count of 64 between trigger and transmit.
READING STATION OVERVIEW To enable and configure Pulsed Illumination. To adjust image gain when using Pulsed Illumination. Applications The AV7000 cameras are specifically designed for industrial applications requiring high reading performance such as: • Low aspect ratio barcodes • Codes covered by plastic film •...
INTRODUCTION Model Description AV7000 cameras are available in versions that differ depending on the optical resolution (focus range), while the AI7000 illuminators differ depending on the illuminated reading width: AV7000 Camera Model Description Key AI7000 Illumination Model Description Key AV7000 LINEAR CAMERA...

In irregular package applications, the photoelectric sensor assists in main- taining the package footprint so that the AV7000 camera will only scan and provide data for a specific package.
READING STATION OVERVIEW Area Sensor The photoelectric light grids of the AS1 series are crossed-beam area sensors able to detect all objects, with even 0.2mm thickness, inside a 100mm height, over operating distances reaching 3m between emitter and receiver. The AS1 area sensors represent the ideal solution for the detection of very small objects, even when passing in different positions inside the controlled height and width.
The DK-510 Distance Kit is part of a vision system used to signal the focus height of packages to be imaged by the AV7000 camera. It includes an S80 Class 2 visible red LASER sensor to measure direct proximity from 4 m to 7 m and from 20m to 100m retro- reflective models.

Installation Dimensions and Clearances The AV7000 is a sealed, unventilated unit. Mounting the unit with 300 mm [12 in] of clearance (front, top, and sides) is recommended for cooling and ease of maintenance. This symbol identifies a hazard or procedure that, if incorrectly performed, could cause personal injury or result in equipment damage.
It is important that you follow these general precautions when installing, setting up, operating, maintaining, troubleshooting, or replacing any Datalogic products, parts or related equipment. As you plan and install your AV7000 camera imaging system application, be sure to keep the following guidelines in mind: •...
The vision system components and in particular the mounting brackets have been designed for installation onto standard Bosch and 80/20 frame profiles (extrusions) and accessories. 60x60 mm profile is recommended for Bosch, although 45x45 mm profiles will work; and standard 1.5” x 3” for 80/20. AV7000 LINEAR CAMERA...
INSTALLATION SEQUENCE Mounting Rails The Camera/Illuminator and Deflection Mirror are mounted to mounting structure rails, as shown below. Typically, the rising brackets are mounted to the rails, but in some cases it may be necessary to mount the camera and deflection mirror between the mounting rails.
Page 42
(Not used for side mounted barcode readers) Be sure to use the M8x8 (short) bolts when mounting the support brackets to the main bracket. Longer bolts will pass through the other side of the main bracket, interfering with the illuminator body. AV7000 LINEAR CAMERA...
INSTALLATION SEQUENCE AV7000/AI7000 Top/Bottom Mounting Bracket Assembly and Mounting Both Top and Bottom Camera positions require the same pre-assembly of the Illumina- tor Bracket. PRODUCT REFERENCE GUIDE...
(Top, Side, or Bottom), the basic sequence is the same: 1. Mount the cooling fan to the AV7000 camera (See section Mounting the AV7000 Camera to the AI7000 Illuminator).
INSTALLATION SEQUENCE AV7000/AI7000 Side Mounting Bracket Assembly and Mounting The illustrations below show how the brackets are assembled, and how the AI7000 Illu- mination is then mounted to the brackets. Typically, the brackets are pre-assembled and attached to the mounting structure, and then the illumination is mounted to its brack- ets.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION AV7000 Side Mounting Sequence: 1. Mount the cooling fan to the AV7000 camera. 2. Pre-assemble the Illuminator brackets according to the application. 3. Mount the bracket to the station frame. 4. Place the lower end of the illumination on the bottom bracket, and then tilt the top end of the illumination in line with the top bracket.
AV7000 Bottom Mounting Sequence In some applications it is beneficial to mount an AV7000 under the conveyor. When mounting a bottom read AV7000, it must be done so under a break in the conveyor. AV7000 Bracket Angles Standard camera bracket angles are shown below. The YELLOW bolt indicates the lock- ing position between the Main Bracket (blue) and Rising Bracket (red).
Page 48
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION AV7000 LINEAR CAMERA...
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Alternative Camera Mounting Between Rails In some cases when you need to save space, the AV7000 Camera (and deflection mirror) can be mounted directly between the rails, without the use of the Rising Bracket. AV7000 LINEAR CAMERA...
Mounting the fan to the camera housing The AV7000 Camera is shipped without the cooling fan attached to the top of the hous- ing. Before mounting the camera to the illuminator, first mount the fan to the camera housing, as shown below.
The spring-loaded Focus Lock will push against the illuminator creating some resis- tance. As the bolts are tightened, the Focus Lock is pushed in to release the focusing mechanism. 5. Add the remaining bolts, and securely fasten the camera to the illuminator. AV7000 LINEAR CAMERA...
INSTALLING THE DEFLECTION MIRROR INSTALLING THE DEFLECTION MIRROR The external deflection mirror allows the AV7000 Camera to be mounted parallel to the conveyor, which can save space while allowing the light from the illuminator and image view to be angled for precise image capture.
If the mirror still seems to be stressed, loosen and re-tighten the bolts of the opposite bracket. If that doesn’t relieve any stress on the mirror, the mounting structure frame may not be square and will need to be adjusted. AV7000 LINEAR CAMERA...

INSTALLING THE DEFLECTION MIRROR PRODUCT REFERENCE GUIDE...
Page 56
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION In some cases, it may be necessary to install side mounted AV7000 Cameras and deflec- tion mirrors on the inside of the mounting structure (closer to the conveyor), as shown below. Notice that to achieve a 15-degree locking angle, the mirror must be mounted on the outside of the main bracket.
Page 57
INSTALLING THE DEFLECTION MIRROR PRODUCT REFERENCE GUIDE...
Page 58
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Deflection mirrors for bottom mounted AV7000 Cameras should be mounted to create an 8-degree view angle (from vertical). However, the angle must be set up manually because there is no locking hole in the bracket for this angle. Using an electronic angle finder, tilt the mirror 41-degrees off the horizontal, as shown below.
ALIGNING THE AV7000 WITH DEFLECTION MIRRORS Alternative Deflection Mirror Mounting Between Rails Like the AV7000 Camera, the deflection mirror can also be mounted between the mounting structure rails, as illustrated below. ALIGNING THE AV7000 WITH DEFLECTION MIRRORS When using deflection mirrors with the AV7000 reader, which is typical, the mirrors must be mounted parallel to the reader and at the correct distance to allow for proper focus and the highest read rate.

FOCUSING SETUP AND CALIBRATION FOCUSING DEVICES The AV7000 focusing position is computed by the camera based on the position of the parcel triggered and/or measured by a focusing device. The Datalogic focusing devices may be one or more of the following: •...
There are several Datalogic focusing options available for the AV7000. Each option serves a different purpose in AV7000 systems. They can be used alone or in combination with one another. Below is a list of the available options and an explanation of their pur- pose.
DL Light Curtain (LCC-75xx AV7 Light Curtain) The DL Light Curtain is used to detect the presence of objects as they enter the scanning area, as well as report the package heights ranging from 150 to 2500mm to the AV7000. STI Light Curtain The STI Light Curtain is a legacy light curtain device that also detects the presence and package heights of objects as they enter the scanning area.
