Quick Start Guide

Introduction

This guide is designed to help you set up and install the iVu Plus Barcode Reader (BCR) Gen2 Series Sensor. For complete information on
programming, performance, troubleshooting, dimensions, and accessories, please refer to the Instruction Manual at
Search for p/n 179047 to view the Instruction Manual. Use of this document assumes familiarity with pertinent industry standards and practices.

The iVu BCR includes integrated Help.

Program, modify and view inspections through the integrated touch screen, remote touch screen or Vision Manager PC software. Vision Manager is
not required to configure or run the iVu BCR.

Connect to the iVu BCR using Vision Manager PC Software to control the device remotely. After connecting to the device, the interface displays on
the Sensor tab. Use the interface in the same manner as the iVu BCR display.

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 BCR

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

1. Position the iVu BCR 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 BCR.

Sensor Modes

Demo Mode

The first time you power up the iVu BCR sensor, it starts in Demo Mode and allows you to choose whether to stay in Demo Mode or exit to Live
Mode. Demo Mode uses stored images and inspection parameters that demonstrate how the sensor is set up without having to worry about focus,
lighting, or triggers. In this mode, you can learn how to make adjustments while observing how the adjustments affect the sensor results. When you
exit Demo Mode, the sensor reboots into its normal operating mode with default settings.

Live Mode Overview

The iVu BCR can be configured to evaluate one or more of the supported barcode types and can look for a specific number of barcodes from 1 to

10. Select the barcode types by going to Main Menu > Inspection > Barcode > Barcode Type. Select the barcode count by going to Main Menu >
Inspection > Barcode > Barcode Count.

Read/No Read, Pass/Fail, Match/No Match

• A Read condition occurs when the configured number of barcodes are found in a scan. These barcodes must be error-free.
A No Read condition occurs when the

•

• If the device is configured where Data Compare is disabled, Pass and Fail are the same as Read and No Read.

•

If the device is using the Data Compare feature, Pass indicates that a good barcode was found and the data compared.

• If the device is using the Data Compare feature, Fail indicates that either no good barcode was found or the data did not compare.

• A Match condition occurs when the required number of barcodes are found and the compare is successful.

• A No Match condition occurs when the required number of barcodes are found, but the compare is not successful.

Note: For all outputs, the default setting is Latched, which means that the signal is active until the results of an inspection cause
a change in the signal output. If Pulsed is selected, the default pulse width is 50 ms.
