WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or
death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in
personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized
sensor output condition.

CAUTION: Electrostatic Discharge

Avoid the damage that electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause to the Sensor.

Always use a proven method for preventing electrostatic discharge when installing a lens or attaching a cable.

Installation Instructions

Mount the iVu

The iVu requires a bracket for mounting. Brackets are available from Banner Engineering. See
brackets allow the iVu to be mounted either perpendicular to the part or at an adjustable angle.

1. Position the iVu on the bracket.

2. Thread three M4 x 4 mm screws (supplied) through the bracket into the mounting holes in the bottom of the iVu.

Figure 2. Mounting Bracket Mounting Holes

3. Tighten all three screws.

4. Mount the iVu and bracket to the machine or equipment at the desired location. Do not tighten the mounting screws at this
time.

5. Check the iVu alignment.

6. Tighten the mounting screws to secure the iVu and the bracket in the aligned position.

connections are identical.

Demo Mode

The

first time the iVu is powered up, it starts in Demo Mode. You can choose whether to stay in Demo Mode or exit to Live Mode.
Demo Mode uses stored images and inspection parameters that demonstrate how the iVu is set up, without having to worry about
focus, lighting, or triggers. In this mode, practice making adjustments while working with the different sensor types and observing
how the adjustments affect the results. To exit Demo Mode, go to Main Menu > System > Mode and select Exit Demo Mode. Upon
exit, the iVu restarts in the normal operating mode with the default settings.

Home Screen

Use the Home screen on the iVu display to monitor inspections and to configure the iVu. Typically, the part being inspected is
centered on the screen with the feature of interest bounded by the Region of Interest (ROI), a rectangle as shown below. The ROI
can be rotated and resized, and is highlighted when selected for adjustment.

In following figure, there are two ROI because it is a multi sensor inspection. The green annotations indicate the object passes, and
the red annotations indicate a failure. This sample inspection failed as shown by the red X next to the Display mode button.

Main Menu

The Main Menu has four sections:

• Inspection—Modify inspection settings

•

• Logs
