A.3 Device Location
A.3.1 Environment
Choose a location that complies with the limits of temperature and humidity. Refer to the
technical specification.
Note: Before using the BOOKEYE
one hour for temperature adaptation.
Temperature adaptation means:
A fast change from cold to warm environmental conditions can build up
condensation inside the housing. This will result in unfavorable scanned images
and could cause permanent damages to the unit.
Please allow a minimum of 150 mm (6 inch) from any side walls and 300 mm (12 inch)
from a back wall. Leave one meter (3 feet) minimum distance from any door or entrance
way. Use illustration below as a guide.

Page 16 Operation Manual
A.3.2 Ambient Light
The location should have a controlled ambient light situation. Light scenarios to avoid are
direct sunlight, spot light from light beams, light sources that cause sharp shadows on the
scanning bed, high levels of ambient light and varying light conditions.
The Bookeye® scanner is an open system with a built-in high quality light source. Open
system means, that the ambient light is added to the light seen by the camera.
The recommended location for the Bookeye® scanner:
Is not exposed to daylight.
Is evenly illuminated from the ceiling with fluorescent lamps with electronic
ballasts. The light intensity measured on the book cradles should be approximately
300 lux.
The light should not cause any shadows; therefore the variation of the intensity
across the scan area should be kept below 20%.
If the fluorescent lamps are powered by non electronic ballasts, they will produce a flicker
twice the frequency of the main power supply (100Hz or 120Hz). If the intensity of this
light becomes too high, vertical stripes of even distances of approx. 8-12 pixels will be
visible on the scan.
Direct sunlight will vary over the day and will result in overexposed images. Sunlight also
can produce sharp shadows.
Light beams from spotlights will also produce sharp shadows. In most cases, they emit a
high level of infrared light. Infrared light is not visible to the human eye but to the camera.
The light source of the Bookeye® scanner itself has no infrared content at all. The
advantage is that the scanner does not have an image quality degrading infrared filter.
Too much infrared content will result in overexposure.
The Bookeye® scanner has an integrated “White Balance” function. This function will
compensate the ambient light influences. Therefore it is recommended to perform the
“White Balance” function when the ambient light scenario has been changed.
A.3.3 Table
Place the device on a flat and solid base, preferable a solid table. The load bearing
capacity of the table must correspond to the device weight. The table should be build to
hold at least three times the weight of the unit. Also it should not shake or move to avoid
image distortions. If the table is too weak it can be attached to a solid wall to stabilize it.
A.3.4 Power outlet
Safety Note!
Ensure that the power outlet is always accessible. This will help to
separate the device from the power outlet in case of an emergency.
