CHAPTER 2

When Your System Arrives

When your system arrives, check the shipping cartons for wrinkled or damaged corners, holes through the cardboard, or

other signs of rough handling or abuse. If you find any signs of damage, ask the delivery service to make a note on the

delivery receipt describing the damage.

Carefully remove the A-Series camera, cabling, and accessories from the shipping package. Place the equipment on a

table and inspect each item. Save all packing materials so you can repack the system in case you need to move or ship it.

Extreme temperature precautions: If your system arrives in very cold or hot weather, allow all the equipment to reach

room temperature before plugging it in. Exposing cold equipment to a warm room can cause condensation. If condensa-

tion forms, wait for the equipment to dry completely before applying power.

Before You Set Up the System

Before we shipped your A-Series camera, we did the following:

•Ran the setup program and specified a default software and hardware configuration. See page 2-4 for more infor-

mation about setting up the hardware. Refer to the Impact Reference Guide for software configuration information.

•Set a default Internet Protocol (IP) address and a default IP Mask value. You will need to change the IP address if

you have multiple devices on a network. (See Chapter 6 of this manual for more information.)

Hardware Components

The major hardware components of an A-Series camera system are:

•Camera (A10 = PPT Part # 661-0373; A20 = PPT Part # 661-0384)

•Optional power supply

•Optional unterminated I/O cable (PPT Part # 606-0644-xx)

•Optional terminated I/O cable (PPT Part # 606-0607-xx)

•Optional terminal block (PPT Part # 248-0138)

•Optional screw-down Ethernet cable (PPT Part # 606-0619-xx)

optional standard double-shielded Ethernet cable (PPT Part # 606-0615-xx)

•Optional Ethernet switch (PPT Part # 606-0455)

•Optional Ringlights (see pages 4 and 9)

When Your System Arrives PPT VISION, Inc.

2-2 A-Series Hardware Guide

•Optional LED Ringlight cable (PPT Part # 606-0614-xx)

•Optional LED Ringlight adapter (PPT Part # 651-0131)

•Optional Dust Cover adapter (PPT Part # 651-0160)

To configure the camera, a computer running the Impact Software Suite Utilities software is required. See Chapter 6 of

this manual and refer to the Impact Reference Guide for more details.

Note: An optional power supply is available for your A-Series camera. If you provide your own, it must supply 24 VDC

@ .50 A (minimum). Its safe operating ambient temperature range is 0° to +50° C (+32° to +122° F).

This equipment is to be powered by a Listed power supply for the U.S. and Canada, or a power supply that meets the

requirements for use where either IEC 60950 or EN60950 is applicable.

Safety Precautions

Warning: There are no user-serviceable parts inside the PPT device. To avoid electrical shock, never open the case.

Opening the case or removing the tamper-proof sticker will void the product warranty.

Avertissement: Il n'y a aucune partie utilisateur-utile à l'intérieur du dispositif d'PPT. Pour éviter le choc électrique,

n'ouvrez jamais la valise. L'ouverture de la valise ou l'enlèvement de l'autocollant de trifouiller-preuve videra la

garantie de produit.

1. Read all of the following instructions before setting up your system. Save this document for later use.

2. Follow all warnings and instructions in this manual and in other user guides shipped with your camera.

3. To avoid damage to your camera and its components, never plug in or unplug a cable when the power is on.

Always shut off the power supply first, then make any necessary cable changes.

4. Never use the system if a power cable has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on a power cable and keep

these cables away from traffic.

5. Do not expose your PPT camera to moisture, rain, or snow, and do not use it near water. If a component gets wet,

unplug it and do not use it.

6. To avoid injury, never open the case. Opening the case will void the product warranty.

Service Personnel Only - Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used

batteries according to battery maker’s instructions.

NOTE: The A-Series is the most economical Intelligent Camera on the market. Do not expect the same image processing

performance or network communication speeds that are available from PPT’s higher performance T and C-Series Intelli-

gent Cameras.

Setting Up the System

Important: To avoid damage to your unit, never plug in or unplug a cable when the unit power is on. Always turn off the

power supply first, and then make the necessary cable changes.

1. Familiarize yourself with the major system components that are shown in Chapter 3 of this manual.

2. Mount the camera, lighting, and other hardware components in their desired positions. Mounting instructions are

included in Chapter 3 of this manual.

3. You are ready to wire the hardware. Chapter 4 contains the input/output schematics for your A-Series camera.

Wiring diagrams for all cables are contained in Chapter 5.

4. Attach the Ethernet and I/O to the camera. Diagrams for attaching cables are shown later in this chapter.

NOTE: To insure a solid connection, be sure to screw down the I/O cable connections on the camera.

5. Connect an Ethernet cable to the optional Ethernet switch, then connect an Ethernet cable from the switch to the

client computer.

6. Connect the power supply for the unit to an appropriate grounded power source. To protect your system, we rec-

ommend using a surge protector.

7. Plug the power supply connector into the camera’s power connector. Turn on the power supply. Wait for the Status

and Busy lights to go off before proceeding.

8. Configure the IP address and mask for the camera and client computer, if necessary.

NOTE: A default network IP mask and address were assigned at the factory. You may need to change them for your

installation. See Chapter 6 for more details.

9. From the client computer, start Impact Vision Program Manager (VPM). Use Impact software to check your cam-

era and lighting setup, calibrate the camera, configure your inspection parameters, and put the camera online. For

more information about using Impact software, refer to the Impact Reference Guide.

If your system does not work when you are finished with the setup, review the instructions and diagrams to make sure you

made all connections properly. For more help, refer to the troubleshooting guide in Chapter 6 of this manual.
