WARNING Turn off power before connecting Never connect any signals while the Ranger unit is powered. Never connect a powered Ranger E/D Connection terminal or powered I/O signals to a Ranger. Do not open the Ranger The Ranger unit should not be opened. The Ranger contains no user serviceable parts inside.
Scatter measures how the incoming light is distributed beneath the object’s surface. This is useful for example for finding the fiber direction in wood or detecting delamination defects. SICK IVP • Industrial Sensors • www.sickivp.com • All rights reserved 8011731...

A single Ranger can be connected with or without using a switch. Multiple Rangers are preferably connected using a switch. Information about recommended network interface cards and switches can be found in Appendix C. 8011731 SICK IVP • Industrial Sensors • www.sickivp.com • All rights reserved...
Exactly how to mount the Ranger and the laser depends on a whole number of factors. For more information, see “Mounting Rangers and Lightings” in the Reference manual. Figure 2.4 – Mounting the Ranger and a laser for measuring range. SICK IVP • Industrial Sensors • www.sickivp.com • All rights reserved 8011731...
Warning! Never connect any signals while the Ranger unit is powered. Never connect a powered Ranger E/D Power-I/O terminal or powered I/O signals to a Ranger. If the laser trigger signal is used for lighting the laser, the laser may become activated as soon as the Ranger is powered on.
For more detailed information on the installation, see the file releasenotes.txt on the CD. Note: You must have administrator privileges on the PC to install the Ranger E/D devel- opment software. SICK IVP • Industrial Sensors • www.sickivp.com • All rights reserved...
If you still can not see the Ranger’s IP address, use the iCon Device Configuration util- ity, which can be launched from the Start menu. Information on using iCon Device Configuration can be found in Appendix E. 8011731 SICK IVP • Industrial Sensors • www.sickivp.com • All rights reserved...
Service The Ranger contains no user serviceable parts inside. In case of unit failure contact SICK IVP or an SICK IVP representative that delivered the unit for further instructions. SICK IVP • Industrial Sensors • www.sickivp.com • All rights reserved...
The location of a point along the transport direction (y coordinate) is represented by for example the sequence number of the measurement, or the encoder value for when the scan was made. 8011731 SICK IVP • Industrial Sensors • www.sickivp.com • All rights reserved...

Ranger and the laser are mounted, as well as the distance to the object. For more information on how the resolution is affected by how the Ranger is mounted, see chapter “Mounting Rangers and Lightings” in the Reference manual. 8011731 SICK IVP • Industrial Sensors • www.sickivp.com • All rights reserved...

Hardware Description Sensor The Ranger E/D cameras are based on the M12 Smart Vision Sensor series. The M12 Smart Vision Sensor is a CMOS sensor with a 2D pixel matrix, row-parallel AD- converters, and a processor architecture that enables image processing directly on the sensor.
The LEDs on the back plate have the following functions: When lit The Ranger is powered. Link The Ranger is connected to an Ethernet network. Data The Ranger is sending data over the Ethernet connection. Function Reserved 8011731 SICK IVP • Industrial Sensors • www.sickivp.com • All rights reserved...
