A
Compact Flash adapter for PC, either PCMCIA or USB type
Small (4-port) Ethernet hub (not a switch) so you can monitor network communication.
Network cable(s).
SUPPLIES
Cable ties: 8 inch for 45x45mm frame, 11 inch for 60x60, 14 inch for 45x90.
Shrink tubing, 1/8 inch, to insulate drain wires in commo cables
Shrink tubing, 3/8 inch, to insulate cut edges of commo cable jackets, prevent shorting in
CBXes.
Electrical tape
Lubricant, WD-40 or silicone spray, for FBK8100s
ARRIVAL ON SITE
Meet with customer / integrator. Verify complete installation plan including schedule and
testing plan. Will the enduser’s maintenance staff participate in a combined installation /
training, or will training be done later? Arrange help, if needed, to transport equipment
and erect frame.
Verify the size range of objects to be read, the conveyor speed, and the parcel
justification side.
Confirm the name of the array by which the end user knows it.
Obtain sample codes.
Confirm data format, protocol, txline, txedge. If there is an existing scanner, spy on its
serial data, if possible, to confirm this information.
If network communication is used, obtain a list of the IP addresses to be used for the
scanners. Get an IP address for your laptop, also, to facilitate testing. Verify that the
network jacks are live.
If a VPN will be set up for administering and monitoring the system, get this started.
ASSEMBLE THE FRAME AND ARRAY
Transport frame to array location
Open frame parts and verify parts against packing list
Notes on Bosch frames
- T bolts have a line to indicate head direction
- Some frames have bolts at top corners so position thru holes in verticals at top.
- Assemble frame as panels, erect, then tie together
- Don’t anchor to floor immediately; allow freedom to slide to clear drives, bearings,
other parts that need service.
If FBKs are used, pay attention: the short screws and lockwashers attach the male half of
the FBK to the scanner. Lubricate FBK parts to ensure that they can be separated.
Mount scanners approximately; may have to fine tune their positions once the scanlines
are lit. Pay attention to need for ~15 degree skew to avoid specular reflection from pack.
DLA’s drawings show the distance from the scanner to the conveyor to aid you in
mounting the scanner at the right height. Best to double check this, since the as-built
configuration doesn’t always match that which was believed to be true when the ACL was
generated.
Cable the scanners, don’t install many cable ties yet.
Mount the power supply and controller.
