2.4 Device Status Lights

The ICU device has three status LEDs and an illuminated Image Capture logo. From left to right the LEDs are: Amber, Green and Red. These LEDs report different statuses depending on the process that it is currently undertaking; see the below tables for further information.

2.4.1 Boot Up Sequence

Step

LED Status

Power-On Indication

Operating System Started

Age Verification Initialised

Boot-Up Completed

After the boot up sequence is completed the green LED on the ICU device will remain illuminated. When communications are received from the host machine the ICU logo will begin to flash to indicate receipt and response. The boot-up sequence typically takes around 1minute to complete.

2.4.2 Age Verification Sequence

After receipt of an enable command, see Section 5.1, the following process occurs:

Step

LED Status

Waiting for face

Face Detected

Age Verification Processing

Age Verification Completed &

waiting for next face.

The Age Verification sequence will be repeated while a face is detected in the image. Processing times will vary depending on processing options and configuration settings.

3 MACHINE INTEGRATION

3.1 Power Specification

The unit shall be supplied from a source specified as Electrical Energy Source Class 1 (ES1) to IEC/UL 62368-1, or specified as SELV according to IEC/UL 60950-1.

Voltage

12VDC (+/- 10%)

Current

1A

3.2 Connection Specification

The ICU device has two sockets on the back of the unit; a power connection socket and a communication socket. The location of these is shown in Section 2.2.

The drawing for the power cable is shown in Section 6.1.2.

The communication cable is a standard USB Type-A to Type-B Micro USB cable. This micro USB cable provides the physical link through which communications and video are transmitted. The maximum length of this data cable is 3 metres.

3.3 Screw Specification

The table below shows the screw specifications for the different screws on the ICU device. The bezel screws are provided with the unit as it is already attached, the other screws must be sourced separately.

3.4 Bezel Mounting

It is possible to remove the front face of the ICU device to mount it inside a machine. This lets you secure the face of the unit to the outside of the machine, while mounting the ICU device behind it inside the machine:

Ensure that the cut-out area of the host machine is large enough so as not to cover the cameras. See Section 6.1.1 for measurement drawings. The minimum and maximum widths of the machine panel is shown in the diagram below (measurements in millimetres):

4 INSTALLATION AND USE

Choosing the optimum setup will generate the best results. Camera technology requires careful consideration of the lighting, including subject illumination and background lighting. The ICU implements automated exposure settings that help to reduce poor illumination conditions. However, despite this, the location of the ICU and the surrounding lighting is key to achieving the best accuracy. Consider the points below when deciding on the location of the installation:

Do:

• Locate ICU device 60-80 cm from the subject’s face.

• Place the ICU device so that the subject will look into the camera.

• Ensure the subject’s face will have good illumination.

Avoid:

• Poor illumination of the subject’s face.

• Bright background lighting.

(these will severely affect the performance)

5 SOFTWARE INTEGRATION

The ICU operates as a UVC webcam device over USB, with age verification or estimation details using the SSP interface over the same USB connection.

5.1 SSP Communication Flow

On connecting the ICU to a PC, standard COM Port and UVC drivers will be enumerated. These are then used for interfacing with your application.

The flow chart below shows the basic command sequence when communicating via SSP. See SSP manual and the SSP Implementation guide for more information.

Ensures the communication packets are synchronized from this point.

Ensures the correct version of SSP is being used

Request information about the device setup/configuration

Allows the age verification process to take place on detected faces

Request info on detections or other events

U Quick Start Guide

<< Back to Contents

Poll commands should be sent every 200ms. If the ICU does not receive poll command for 5 seconds, it will automatically revert to the disabled state. An Enable command (0x0A) must be sent to the ICU before any further processes will be performed.

The possible responses to the Poll command are outlined below, each response must be handled appropriately within the machine software:

Response

Hex Code

Description

Disabled

0xE8

Device is in a disabled state, send the Enable

command to use the device.

Process Event

0x11

If data byte is 0x01, device is initialising. Please

wait until this is no longer reported before

attempting to enable or modify the ICU.

Face Detected

0x14

Face detected in central camera’s field of view.

Age Detected

0x15

Depending on ICU settings (Age Verify or Age

Estimate) this will report either a Pass/Check or

the estimated age. See SSP Manual for further

explanation of the data bytes.

Error Event

0x16

An error occurred. Details are provided in the

data transmitted.

Data Processing

0x17

The ICU device is currently processing a result.

Slave Reset

0xF1

The ICU device has been powered up or power

cycled and has run through its reset process.

6.2 Approvals

6.2.1 FCC

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
