Page 15: Chapter 1. Introduction
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.
Page 16: Field Procedure Quick Cross Reference
• “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.
Page 17: Image Acquisition
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.
Page 18: Pulsed Illumination
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.

Page 44: Av7000 Top/Bottom Mounting Sequence
(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).
Page 45: Av7000/Ai7000 Side Mounting Bracket Assembly And Mounting
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.
Page 46: Av7000 Side Mounting Sequence
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.
Page 47: Av7000 Bottom Mounting Sequence
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.

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...
Page 53: Installing The Deflection Mirror
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.
Page 54: Deflection Mirror Bracket Angles
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...
Page 55 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.
Page 59: Alternative Deflection Mirror Mounting Between Rails
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.
