Page 12
Scanner Overview
Overview of the Scanner
• The input hopper holds the forms that are ready to be scanned. When the
scanner is made READY, the input hopper raises; when the scanner stops, the hopper lowers, allowing you to load more documents. The input hopper accepts stacks of up to 750 forms, depending on the thickness and condition of the sheets.
• The input hopper height adjustment switch allows you to adjust the height
of the input hopper so that the scanner can pick a sheet. Refer to the Operator's Guide for the OpScan iNSIGHT™ 70 Scanner for instructions on setting this
adjustment.
• The output hopper receives the forms that are successfully scanned. When the
scanner starts, the output hopper is raised; when the scanner stops, the stacker is lowered, allowing you to remove the sheets. Before scanning, the output sheet stop adjustment knob should be set to the length of the scanned forms so they will stack properly. The output hopper height adjustment switch adjusts the height at which the hopper halts. Refer to the Operator's Guide for the OpScan iNSIGHT™ 70 Scanner for instructions on making these adjustments.
• The scanner picks the forms from the input hopper one at a time. From there,
the form moves along the transport bed by rollers that continually drive the form into the rail to remove possible skew. The form then passes through the read heads where the cameras capture the image of the form.
• The form now goes through the turnaround station where the form is turned
over and sent to the wait station. At this point the software application determines where the form should go. If the system includes the optional transport printer, then any information that needs to be printed on the form will be sent there. The form is imprinted as it passes over the print head. The form is then sent to one of two places:
– The output hopper accepts up to 750 forms, depending on the thickness
and condition of the sheets. This hopper is reserved for forms that are read
with no errors.
– The select stacker accepts up to 200 forms, depending on the thickness
and condition of the sheets. The software controls the stacker's use. It is
used for forms with correctable and non-correctable system errors. For
example, if the system detects a multiple response on a grid, it sends the
form to the select stacker. The operator can fix the form and scan it again;
or, if the wrong form was scanned, it could be sent to the select stacker.

If transients, surges, or sags outside of the limits stated above exist with a dedicated feeder, do one or both of the following.
• Install a line conditioner to limit transients.
• Use a constant-voltage isolation transformer to control surges or sags.
Grounding
Proper system grounding is extremely important to the safe and reliable operation of the system. The OpScan iNSIGHT 70 scanner ground must meet two requirements:
1. It must serve as a return path for current in case of a short circuit between the
power line and the chassis of any system component.
2. It must serve as the ground reference point for the OpScan iNSIGHT 70 system
components and data cables.

Dedicated Ground
A dedicated isolated/insulated ground for the OpScan iNSIGHT 70 system must be provided. If possible, route a dedicated ground conductor between the main power panel and the OpScan iNSIGHT 70 system branch circuit (with the dedicated feeder). If a dedicated ground conductor is not feasible, then another code-approved method must be used. (The isolated ground conductor is noted in the National Electrical Code, Section 250-74, Exception 4.) Use of an isolated ground rod or grounding to a water pipe is not acceptable.
An isolated/insulated ground conductor, equal to or larger in size than the heaviest gauge AC feeder conductor in the circuit, should be bonded to the ground bus in the building main power panel. Route it with the circuit conductors in the wiring conduit. Pass this ground through any intermediate panel boards without connection to the panel board grounding terminal bars. The National Electric Code, cited above, allows for the installation at the intermediate panel board of an isolated ground bus, constructed from a terminal block kit, for the interconnection of the isolated ground conductor.
This isolated/insulated ground conductor runs as a single, uninterrupted circuit between the building main power panel and the OpScan iNSIGHT 70 system branch power panel. It forms the interconnection point for the third-wire grounds of all OpScan iNSIGHT 70 system components. Connect all OpScan iNSIGHT 70 system component third-wire grounds to this ground; do not connect any equipment other than OpScan iNSIGHT 70 system components to this ground conductor. This condition is met if all system components are plugged into the switched convenience outlet in the base of the scanner.
Note: At some sites, local regulations require that all installed equipment be connected to
a system common ground. In this case, connect all OpScan iNSIGHT 70 system components to the common ground at only one point. Connect third-wire grounds of system components into a common bus connected to the common ground at a single point.
Note: Make sure the equipment third-wire ground (green wire) does not become
connected to the conduit at the outlet box or connector. To avoid an inadvertent connection, use a NEMA 5-20R type isolated-ground receptacle such as a Hubble IG-5362.
Grounding in Multi-Story Buildings
When installing the OpScan iNSIGHT 70 system in a multi-story building, provide a low noise ground by connecting the isolated ground of the system to the structural steel of the building. Install the isolated ground system as described above. In addition, bond one end of a heavy gauge wire or copper braid to the isolated ground bus in the branch circuit panel serving the OpScan iNSIGHT 70 system. Weld the other end of this wire or braid to the nearest vertical steel structural member. Do not substitute a water pipe or an isolated ground rod for the vertical steel member.
Ground-To-Neutral Specifications
With circuit power turned off, the resistance between the circuit neutral conductor and the isolated ground conductor must be less than 2.1 ohms.
2-6 Installation Guide for the OpScan iNSIGHT 70 Scanner
Page 23
Scanner Installation
Installing the Scanner
With circuit power on and all OpScan iNSIGHT 70 system components unplugged, the voltage between the circuit neutral conductor and the isolated ground conductor must be less than 0.6 VAC.
Site Power Wiring Recommendations
Table 2-2 describes the conditions for power wiring at a scanner site.
Table 2-2 Power Wiring at a Scanner Site
Condition Description
Dedicated Feeder
Dedicated Isolated/ Insulated Ground
Panel Branch Circuits
Additional Utility Convenience Connectors
Scanner Electrical Connections
Run a separate dedicated feeder from the building main power panel to the branch power panel serving the OpScan iNSIGHT 70 system. The cabling should be of sufficient diameter to produce no less than 110V at the outlet when the scanner is connected and powered on. This feeder should be a minimum of 30 amp service to allow for future growth of the system.
An isolated/dedicated ground is required. Run this ground conductor as an uninterrupted circuit from the power panel to the OpScan iNSIGHT 70 system branch panel. The gauge of this conductor must be at least as large as that of the AC circuit conductors in all stages of the circuit.
All branch circuits leaving the OpScan iNSIGHT 70 branch power panel should be at least 10 AWG copper wire. There should be no circuits from this power panel serving devices that are not part of the scanner system.
One branch circuit from this power panel should be dedicated at the scanner (this circuit will also service the computer and monitor), and there should be at least one additional dedicated circuit for each additional scanner.
Provide additional convenience outlets in the vicinity of the OpScan iNSIGHT 70 scanner. Connect these outlets (may be used for vacuums, paper joggers, and other electrical devices) to a branch panel other than the scanner branch panel to provide maximum noise isolation for the OpScan iNSIGHT 70 system components.
Dedicate one 15 amp (120 VAC) or 7.5 amp (220 VAC) circuit to each OpScan iNSIGHT 70 scanner at the site. All may be served from the same branch panel, provided its rated capacity is not exceeded.
Electrical Outlets
All 120V outlets for the OpScan iNSIGHT 70 scanner should be Hubble IG-5362 or equivalent (NEMA 5-20R). All 240V outlets should be Hubble IG2410A or equivalent. Outlets for the peripheral equipment should be of the type and rating specified in the hardware reference manuals for the equipment.
The quantity of outlets that must be provided for the peripheral equipment varies according to system configuration. (See Panel Branch Circuits above.) Outlets should be located within 6 feet (2 meters) of the working location of the equipment.

Electrical Requirements

The steady-state line-to-neutral voltage should be maintained within -10% to +5% of the normal rated voltage. The short term and long term frequency variations must be maintained at less than ±5% of the specified power line frequency as measured at the input power side of the scanner when it is powered on. Table 2-3 lists the electrical requirements for the power operation of the OpScan iNSIGHT 70 scanner.
Table 2-3 Electrical Requirements

Option 2 50 HZ ±5% 220 or 240 V ±10% On 7.5 Amp., single-phase dedicated circuit
After you have verified the power and grounding requirements, perform the "Power Supply Check-out Procedures."
Limits Voltage Limits Other data
Power Supply Check-out Procedures
Perform the following checks with the scanner on but with the transport bed motor off (unless otherwise directed by the procedure).
The OpScan iNSIGHT 70 scanner is equipped with four power supplies. They are:
• 914 022 769, +12V 250W Power Supply
• 914 022 264, +12V 200W Solenoid Boost Power Supply (Unregulated)
• 914 022 744, +5V Power Supply (LEDs)
• 914 022 751, +5V and ±15V Logic Power Supply
The +12V, 250W power supply produces +12.5V for the transport bed solenoids and hopper drive motors. The +12V, 200W, power supply produces +12V boost voltage to pull the solenoids. The +5V power supply produces +5V for the read head LEDs. The logic power supply produces +5V, +15V and -15V logic power for the cameras and various scanner PC boards.
The logic power supply and the LED power supply require periodic check-out and adjustment. In addition, the 12V, 250W power supply needs to be adjusted to
12.5V. If any voltage is outside the proper range, adjust the outputs as described in the following "Logic Voltage Checkout Procedures." If you cannot adjust the output, replace the power supply. There are no field repair procedures for any of the scanner's power supplies.
