VA6x User's Reference

Installation

1. Mount the Camera(s) and VA61 in a location free from excessive shock, moisture, and
vibration. The VA61 can be used with a standard DIN rail mount. Mounting holes are lo-
cated on the base plate. See Figure 10 on page 26.
2. Connect a standard VGA Monitor to the Display connector.
3. Connect a mouse and keyboard, using either the PS/2 or USB connectors.
4. Thread the lens onto each camera lens mount.
5. Attach camera cables to each camera and connect them to the camera ports on the VA61. See
"Interface Specifications" and Figure 2, on page 16. If you ordered 2 cameras with the
VA61, make sure you match the camera and port correctly. The IP Addresses are config-
ured for one port or the other and are not interchangeable.
6. Connect the sensor trigger inputs to the I/O Connector (see pin-out, page 21) or the breakout
module.
7. Mount the light source. Connect the strobe controller (if required) to the strobe output of the
I/O Connector (see pinout, page 21) or the breakout module.
8. Wire the required outputs from the I/O to the PLC or pass/reject mechanisms (see pinout,
page 21).
9. Connect network as required (see "Network Connection" on page 20).
10. Connect Serial connections as required (see "Serial Port Connection" on page 20).
Before powering on the unit, take a couple of minutes to verify your hardware installation:
11. Verify all cable connections
12. Verify all electrical connections
13. Verify all components are securely mounted.
Complete the installation by applying power to the unit. The VA61 is powered from an external
supply (option A-PWR-NSII) that connects to the 3-pin D-Sub connector. The power require-
ments are:
• +24 Volts at +/– 2.5 Amperes
When the VA61 has booted, the Genie cameras take a minute to acquire their network connection
to the VA61. There is a camera icon in the system tray (near the time). Message balloons may
appear saying devices are connected or disconnected. Hover the cursor over this camera icon to
see status on the number of cameras successfully configured and available. Run the VA-Genie
camera setup utility to verify the cameras are connected correctly.
