Try not to touch or  let any dust on the objectives and cameras lenses.    Blue Light  For scanning with unfavorable external lighting conditions it is recommended to use the  “blue light” technology (may not be included in the package. In order to do this Blue Light  filters must be installed on the cameras lenses and the corresponding mode must be  activated in ScanCenter NG options. Do not activate this mode with no filters installed  and vice-versa. ...

        Initial setup of cameras and lenses  When you first set up the scanner, image from the cameras may be too bright or too  dark due to different external lighting conditions. Adjust camera lenses, so that the  brightness is acceptable: without the red overexposed areas and not too dark.  Lens adjustment is carried out by rotating the ring on the objective. Loosen (do not  unscrew!) the retention screw and rotate the ring.        16 ...

    Adjustment of the projector focus  During the scanner operation the projector projects structured light to the object - coded  lines and stripes. To ensure that the lines are sharp, the projector must be focused on  the working distance of the scanner.  By switching the mode "Lines and Stripes", adjust the focus of the projector, so that the  lines on the calibration plate were as sharp as possible. Using the zoom ring set the  minimum possible area of projector light. ...

    Bringing the cameras together  For the work of the scanner it is necessary to point both cameras to the same position  on the specified working distance. Install the calibration plate in front of the scanner on  the found working distance (if you changed its position after the  projector focusing procedure.  Turn on the ​ C ross​   light mode and aim the scanner to the calibration plate. It is not  necessary to combine cross with marks on the plate at this stage, the focused projector  should be projecting a cross on any surface, located at the working distance from the  scanner.  Install the cameras in position, corresponding to selected scan area. To do this, unscrew  the mounting screws, move the camera to the desired position, and then put the screws  back. ...

  • Page 22   If you are setting up the 4th scanning area, it may be necessary to decrease the  brightness of lines and stripes due to the close distance to object. In the menu  Brightness setup decrease the brightness value, as shown in the figure. Brightness value  of lines is approximately 2 times greater than the brightness of the stripes. Visually lines  and stripes must be the same brightness. ...
