14 Introduction AccuVision® AV6010 Long-Range Camera System Manual
Typical AccuVision AV6010 Long-Range Camera Applications
Use the AV6010 in the following AccuVision Long-Range Camera System
applications:
single-camera applications
multiple-camera scanning arrays (3-sided)
Complete camera scanning tunnels (up to 6 sides)
quadrant scanning tunnels
Figure 1-5: Top-read Single-camera Application
Accu-Sort Systems, Inc. 01-AV6010_Introduction_R10.doc
AccuVision® AV6010 Long-Range Camera System Manual Chapter 1 15
A three-sided scanning array is used to read bar codes on the top and sides
of packages. When three or more cameras are used, a Power Distribution
Box (PDB) is typically designed into the system.
Figure 1-6: Scanning Tunnel – 3-Sided Application
A 5-sided or 6-sided scanning tunnel is used to read bar codes on most or all
sides of the products passing through the tunnel, including the bottom of
packages. (See Figures 1-7 and 1-8.)

Quadrant scanning is used to assure high read rates on higher-density bar
codes when packages passing through the tunnel are significantly skewed.
Figure 1-9: Quadrant Scanning Tunnel Application
01-AV6010_Introduction_R10.doc Accu-Sort Systems, Inc.
18 Introduction AccuVision® AV6010 Long-Range Camera System Manual
Dimensioning Applications
Any AV6010 camera system with a top-read camera can be configured for
the optional product dimensioning application. The DCM is equipped with a
second COM-e module to enable the in-camera dimensioning functionality.
The RangeFinder used in dimensioning applications is calibrated for an
accuracy of 0.1”, 0.2” or 0.5” (2.54, 5.08 or 12.7 mm).
AV6010 with In-Camera Dimensioning Functional Overview
The AV6010 Camera System is designed to scan objects moving on a
transport, decode bar code information and then present and transmit that
information to another system (typically a sortation controller or inventory
control system). The AV6010 Camera System includes all the hardware and
software components needed to perform its function without requiring
information or signals from external systems.
Figure 1-10: AV6010 Camera System Functional Diagram
An AV6010 Top-Read Camera and RangeFinder (shown in Figure 1-10) are
needed for in-camera dimensioning. Objects are conveyed through the
RangeFinder field. The RangeFinder detects the presence of an object and
determines the range and extents of the object and transmits that information
to the Camera Module. The AV6010 uses the signal from the tachometer to
track the motion of the object through the field of view of the Main Imaging
Sensor (commanding the Focus Servo as necessary to focus the Main
Imaging Sensor). The AV6010 processes the resulting video data stream to
locate and decode any bar code symbols present and then transmits that
information to an external system when the object reaches a predetermined
point (transmit point) along the conveyor system. When in-camera
dimensioning is included in this system, the dimensioning data is also
transmitted with the bar code data.
See Appendix G for further information on dimensioning.

AccuVision® AV6010 Long-Range Camera System Manual Chapter 1 19
RIE / OCR Applications
Any AV6010 camera system can be equipped with an additional COM-e
module in the DCM to enable the optional RIE (Raw Image Export) for use in
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) applications.
Side-by-Side Package Detection Applications
An AV6010 camera system can be registered to use the side-by-side
package detection option. When enabled, the system uses a multidimensional approach to detect whether or not the packages passing
through the scanning area are two or more items side-by-side, significantly
reducing the potential for mis-sorts, mis-ships as well as package or
transport damage. Side-by-side package detection works on both tilt-tray and
belt conveyors.

Electrostatic Discharge
ESD CAUTION: Measures must be taken to prevent Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) at all times when handling any product, equipment, unit or
part (e.g. use a grounded ESD wrist strap). It should be noted that circuit
boards are at greatest risk to damage from ESD. Please follow standard
ESD precautions!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD), the transfer of static electricity from one object
to another, is an often-unnoticeable hazard to electronic components.
Boards and other devices with integrated circuits are particularly sensitive to
ESD damage. Product failures may not occur until days or weeks after the
component was damaged.
Static damage to units can take the form of upset failures or catastrophic
failures (direct and latent).
An upset failure occurs when an electrostatic discharge is not significant
enough to cause total failure, but may result in intermittent gate leakage,
causing loss of software or incorrect storage of information.
Direct catastrophic failures occur when a unit is damaged to the point where
it is permanently damaged.
Basic Rules for ESD Control
Below are some keys to effectively control unnecessary ESD damage when
working with ESD-sensitive devices:
Define an ESD protective area and work on the ESD-sensitive devices in
this area only.
Define static sensitivity of devices to be handled in ESD protective area.
Establish suitable static control program that limits static generation to
less than the damage threshold of the most sensitive device in the
environment, and provides a safe, defined path for static charge
dissipation.
Prevent contamination of the protective area by unnecessary non-static
controlled materials.
Audit the ESD protective area regularly to ensure that static control is
maintained. Document the findings for future reference.
Refer to the specific electrostatic discharge precautions for each
component.

AccuVision® AV6010 Long-Range Camera System Manual Chapter 2 25
Laser/LED Safety
The AV6010 Camera Module uses visible red LEDs to create an “area flood
pattern.” Do not stare into the camera’s exit window at the LED light. Avoid
direct eye exposure. The LED light level does not constitute a health hazard,
however staring at the LED light for prolonged periods could result in eye
damage.
The AV6010 RangeFinder Module uses visible red lasers emitting from the
left and right apertures to create a unique pattern used in detecting the
presence of a product in the scanning area and for measuring the width of
products.
WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those
specified in this document may result in hazardous laser light exposure.
The AV6010 RangeFinder Module is rated as a Class 2 Laser Product by
the International Electrotechnical Commission.
Compliances are as follows: Class 2 Laser Product (IEC/EN 60825-1):2001,
Class II Laser Product (21CFR1040) <1.0 mW peak/cw power at
wavelength 630-700nm.
