Torque Specification
To guarantee an IP65 or IP67 product specification, Zebra cables and/or connector covers must be
torqued to the following specification:
• Torque for M12 Zebra cables (xS20 only): 24.0 in-lbs
• Torque for USB-C cables (FS10 only): 1 in-lb
• Torque for connector covers (xS20 only): 10.0 in-lbs
Installation
NOTE:
covers must be torqued at installation to guarantee an IP65 or IP67 specification if cables are not used.
To ensure proper connector cover seating, see the figure below for the reference dimension (5.80 mm) of
the connector covers.
Figure 5 Connector Covers Reference Dimension
Connector covers are hand tightened from the factory to allow for easy hand removal. The
5.80 mm
For additional information on Zebra cables, see Cables.

Power Sources
FS/VS Smart Camera devices can be powered through an external power supply, Power over Ethernet
(PoE) (xS20 only), or USB Type C (FS10 only) for maximum flexibility. A power priority scheme selects
power from the external power supply over PoE (xS20 only) to ensure the least restrictive power source is
utilized. Changes to the power source trigger a reboot.
12 Pin M12 Power Input (xS20 only)
This power source input powers the xS20 only. There are no external peripherals are powered through the
xS20. As a result, as long as the voltage and currents are met in the specifications table, the xS20 will
operates as expected. A self-resettable fuse prevents the physical overload of the M12 connector and
provides protection from reverse voltage and prevents the voltage from exceeding or falling below the
input specifications.
Power Over Ethernet (xS20 Only)
FS/VS Smart Camera devices support operation from power sourcing equipment meeting the 802.3at
class 4 (30 W) or 802.3af class 3 (15.4W) or 802.3af Class 2 (7W) IEEE Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
standards. These are commonly referred to as PoE+ and PoE respectively by equipment providers.
Installation
USB Type C (xS10 Only)
USB Type C allows for novel and cost-effective installations provided the following constraints are
acceptable:
• Optocoupled GPIO is still functional provided the COMMON_IN and COMMON_OUT are properly
terminated when using the appropriate cable.
CAUTION: For optimal performance, use USB BC1.2 or USB charging ports that can supply up to 1.5A
only.
Grounding for Electro-Magnetic Compliance and ESD Safe
The vision system is designed with a rugged metal chassis connected internally to ground for robust
Electro-Magnetic Compliance (EMC) and ESD Safe operation. Do not mount to any conductive object,
body, structure, or mechanism that may become connected to line voltage or a voltage potential other than
Protected Earth Ground. Chassis grounding via cable shield, mounting screws, or low inductance ground
strap to a local Protected Earth Ground is acceptable.
NOTE: There is no galvanic connection to Earth Ground when the device is powered over an
unshielded Ethernet cable. In this scenario, grounding to local Earth Ground through another cable
shield, mounting screw, or ground strap is required for ESD Safe compliance and best practice for
EMC.

Using the Smart Camera
This section describes using the FS/VS Smart Camera and optimizing the device’s utility by leveraging its
connection interfaces and understanding the feedback the device is able to provide through its user
interface.
USB Type C (FS10 Only)
The FS10 utilizes a USB type C connection that supports USB 2.0 high speed communication only. The
sealed port implements a standard USB Type C dual screw lock mechanism for secure connections. When
paired with the IP67 series of Zebra screw locking cables, the interface maintains a full IP67 seal.
CAUTION: The sealing gasket on IP67 series Zebra USB Type C cables require adequate
pressure for proper seal and connector engagement. Always tighten the locking screws when
using these cables, even if IP67 sealing is not required.
When connected as a peripheral to a USB host, the devices can be configured to support the following
functionality:
• RNDIS Ethernet over USB
• HID keyboard
User Interface
The FS/VS Smart Camera provides various forms of feedback in the form of beeper indications and LEDs
that keep the user aware of specific device states.
Data Capture
The FS10/xS20 Smart Cameras have an amber LED aiming dot.

General Purpose Input and Outputs
The FS10 (with appropriate cable) and xS20 devices have two dedicated input and two dedicated output
general purpose IO. They are all optically coupled to provide electrical isolation and wiring flexibility
Optically Coupled GPIO
Optocoupled GPIO have the advantage of being electrically isolated from the rest of the vision system and
require external reference through the COMMON_IN and COMMON_OUT wires. The termination of
COMMON_IN and COMMON_OUT to an external voltage or ground determines if the input or output is
Sinking (also known as NPN) type or Sourcing (also known as PNP) type.
The output GPIO performs similarly to switches connecting the GPIO pin to COMMON_OUT. When
disabled, the GPIO pin is disconnected from COMMON_OUT and allowed to float. As a result, optocoupled
outputs turn on relatively quickly, while the turn off time is dependent upon how quickly the connected load
dissipates charge.
Figure 17 Output Mode Equivalent Circuit Diagram for NPN and PNP Mode
Optocoupled inputs are enabled when voltage is applied across the GPIO pin and COMMON_IN.

VDD
Optocoupled GPIO can be operated in a non-isolated fashion by terminating COMMON_IN and
COMMON_OUT to the DC_IN or GND wires used to power the device.
The following table provides a useful reference for such connections.
Table 10 Connection References
Wire Termination Configuration
COMMON_IN GND Sinking Input (NPN)
COMMON_IN DC_IN Sourcing Input (PNP)
COMMON_OUT GND Sinking Output (NPN)
COMMON_OUT DC_IN Sourcing Output (PNP)
While it is possible to configure inputs and outputs as the same type, this is not recommended as inputs
and outputs must be of opposite type on the device and auxiliary equipment to be compatible. All
optocoupled GPIO share the COMMON_IN for inputs and COMMON_OUT for outputs. Therefore, all
inputs must be of the same type and all outputs must be of the same type. For example, it is not possible to
simultaneously configure sinking output on OUT0 and sourcing output on OUT1.
NOTE: Refer to the documentation of the connected auxiliary equipment to ensure a compatible
configuration, and remember to leave unused GPIO in a disabled state.
Optocoupled outputs are individually fused to protect against damage from short circuit or overload events.
Since no power is consumed from the vision system, optocoupled GPIO are always available regardless of
power source and have no impact on power budgeting.
24
Thermal Management
Sophisticated algorithms keep operation of the system within acceptable thermal parameters to ensure
reliable operation over the product lifetime.
Temperature is actively monitored at critical points within the system. Whenever a safe limit is exceeded
the system response may include stopping active jobs. When this condition occurs, the user must take
steps to mitigate the overheating condition. Following these steps, a power cycle of the unit is necessary to
resume normal operation.
If overheating is a problem, effective mitigation strategies include:
• Avoiding continuous trigger mode
• Lowering trigger rate
• Using external illumination
• Operating in a cooler environment
• Actively cooling with a fan
• Heatsinking the chassis to a large thermally conductive mounting surface through a thermally
conductive mounting system
Using the Smart Camera
For optimal performance, ensure that the device does not exceed the recommended operating ranges
listed below
Table 11 Operating Temperature
Ambient Temperature 0°C - 45°C (duty cycle-dependent)
IMPORTANT: If temperatures exceed the operating range, additional heat sinking strategies may be necessary,
i.e. mounting to a metal infrastructure or forced convection via an external fan. Use of the Zebra Universal
Mounting Bracket (BRKT-LMNT-U000) provides multiple options to mount to a metal infrastructure.

Figure 34 Enter the Device Hostname into a Web Browser
39
Figure 35 Access Web HMI
Zebra Aurora Software Overview
Alternatively, the device’s IP can be accessed directly by using six digits (shown below as X and Y) included in
the serial number.
• Example:
• 12XXX345678YYY - where the values for XXX and YYY form the third and fourth octet of the device’s USB
IP address:
• The USB IP address is in the format: 172.16.XXX.YYY
• If XXX is less than 256; XXX; otherwise XXX = XXX Modulo 256
• If YYY is less than 256, YYY; otherwise YYY = YYY Modulo 256.
The two examples below show how to calculate the USB IP address:
• Example 1: Both XXX and YYY are less than 256
SN:21097520180161
XXX = 097
YYY = 161
USB IP Address = 172.16.97.161
40
Zebra Aurora Software Overview
• Example 2: XXX is greater than 256 and YYY is greater than 256:
SN:21364520180597
XXX = 364 (Since this value is greater than 256, perform a Modulo operation)
XXX = 364%256 = 108
YYY = 597 (Since this value is greater than 256, perform a Modulo operation)
YYY = 597%256 = 85
USB IP Address = 172.16.108.85
2. If connected via Ethernet directly to the PC:
• The IP address should fit the format 169.254.x.y., where x and y are the last four characters of the MAC
address converted from hex to decimal.
• Example:
• MAC Address: 78:b:d6:5c:6d:f2
• 6D (hex) - 109 (decimal)
• F2 (hex) - 242 (decimal)
• IP = 169.254.109.242
3. If connected via Ethernet to a network via switch or hub, use the DHCP address from the network/router
configuration.
For all connection methods, users are also able to access the device via hostname instead of IP address. The
hostname consists of the device part number and the last four characters of the MAC address:
• Example:
• Part Number - VS20
• MAC Address - 78:b:d6:5c:6d:f2
• Hostname = VS206df2
