2.4 Item Placement

For best results, locate the item centrally below the scanning head. However, exact
placement is not required.

Figure 2-6. Item Placement

The maximum size of an item to be dimensioned varies due to the camera’s field of
view.

Operation 9

2.5 Zone of Interest

Note

Important

Note

The zone of interest represents the detection area to be used for item dimensioning.
Items must be placed at least partially within the zone of interest.

Figure 2-7. Zone of Interest

The zone of interest is typically the size of the scale. Any item that is not at
least partially within the zone of interest will not be scanned. Any item that
has a height less than 1.2 inches (a flat) must be within the zone of interest
to scan.

2.6 Work Area

The work area represents the area around the base used for detecting motion. The
system will wait until there is no motion detected before attempting to scan an item.

The work area also provides a maximum area for the detection of flats (items less than

1.2 inches in height). Flats must be completely within the work area in order to be
detected.

Figure 2-8. Flat Work Area

Figure 2-8 is for Flats only. Parcels will be dimensioned even if part of
the item is outside of the work area.

2.7 Modes of Operation

The iDimension 100 is configured to run in either automatic or manual mode. The
unit’s configuration will depend upon the requirements and implementation of a
company’s application.

Do not hold the package in position, or place hands in the scanning area. The

iDimension 100 may include the hand/arm as part of the dimensions.

10 iDimension 100

Automatic Operation

When iDimension 100 is configured in automatic mode, a scan of the item will start
after the system has detected that all motion has stopped under the scanning head.
When an item is placed on the scale or the base plate it can be re-positioned, but it
will not scan until all motion has stopped.

Manual Operation

When the iDimension 100 is configured in manual mode, motion detection has been
turned off. There may be a button on the screen to select in order to initiate the scan,
or a bar code scan can initiate the scan when used with a custom user program.

2.8 Environmental Conditions

2.8.1 Lighting

The iDimension 100 is designed to work in most locations without having to use
additional lighting. For best results in bar code scanning and imaging, the LUX value
at the center of the scanning area should be 300 or higher. If only capturing
dimensions, low lighting is not a factor.

In some cases, the image may appear under or over exposed. Use the Image Quality
configuration tools in the QubeVu Manager to adjust exposure settings. Alternatively,
see the administrator or call the Rice Lake W eighing Systems Dimensioning Team for
more information.

2.8.2 Table/Scale Color

A dark-colored table/scale is recommended for capturing dimensions. Use a non­glossy black mat to cover the scanning area if necessary.

If scanning over a roller conveyor, color is not an issue.

2.8.3 Scale Placement

If using a scale, it should be placed on the base plate, centered on the marks. See
Figure 2-9. It is recommended to secure the scale into position. Continuous
movement of the scale may provide inaccurate measurements. If the scale moves
from the original position placed after a zero height or reset function, results may be
inaccurate.

Figure 2-9. Base Plat e Marks

Operation 11

2.8.4 Operating with a Scale

When attaching a scale to the iDimension 100, the scale must be connected to the
USB port on the back of the unit. Some scales may only have RS-232 available—use
an RS-232 to USB converter to connect the scale. When connecting the scale, the
weight will be added to the touchscreen display and the output stream. The
iDimension 100 interfaces to a limited selection of scales. See the list of scales
compatible with the iDimension series in the iDimension 100 Managers Guide (PN

172726). Follow the scale manufacturer’s instructions for proper operation and
configuration of the scale.

• Set the scale unit to metric or imperial.

• Before placing an item, ensure the scale is zeroed and settled.

• After placing an item on the scale, the weight reading must settle.

2.9 iDimension Touchscreen Configuration Menu

The Configuration Menu, when accessed via the optional touchscreen monitor,
presents more configuration options than when accessed via the operator display on a
PC. The options presented are to accommodate stand-alone deployments. All options
are also available from the Admin Tools menu in QubeVu Manager, see the
iDimension 100 Managers Guide.

by a technical administrator. Please refer to the iDimension 100 Manager’s Guide for
a complete guide to the tools. The latest version of the Manager Guide, along with all
other product documentation, can be downloaded at www.ricelake.com.

Define the iDimension 100 on the Network

The QubeVu Manager software is accessed via an IP address over a wired Ethernet
connection. To access the tools, the unit must be defined on the network.

The unit can be installed as a network device and can be configured with a static IP
address, or by using DHCP. Consult the network administrator to determine the best
approach for the enterprise network.

The unit is shipped with a dual IP configuration. The network interface will lease an
address from any available DHCP server. However, it also has a fixed, fail-safe IP
address of 169.254.1.1. If DHCP is preferred, the network administrator can advise as
to the IP address leased by the unit.

Configure PC Network Settings

1. Connect to a computer using a standard Ethernet cable.

2. Configure the computer’s Ethernet interface with an IP address of

169.254.1.10 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Consult with the network administrator if unsure how to change the computer ’s IP
address.

Operation 17

Verify Connectivity

Verify that the computer can communicate with the iDimension 100. Use the ping
command to confirm connectivity by pinging 169.254.1.1.

If the ping command does not show the unit is r esponding, this may be due to an issu e
with the network configuration. Make sure that wireless networking is turned off,
then try the ping command again. If this is still unsuccessful, contact the network
administrator for further assistance.

Access QubeVu Manager Mode

To view the Manager home page, open an Internet browser and enter
http://169.254.1.1. If using DHCP, remember to replace 169.254.1.1 with the IP

address provided by the network administrator.
