The camera can read both 1-D barcode and 2-D Data Matrix symbologies, and uses patented image lighting, capturing and decoding to read Data Matrix direct part marks created with laser etch, dot peening, ink-jet, chemical etch, casting, and other techniques on a variety of surfaces. Package Contents Please take a moment to confirm that the package contains the following items, as shown in Figure 1-1: V2.2.1, July 2006 * CD (contains software and documentation) * HawkEyeTM 1500 smart camera (1515 shown in Figure 1-1) * Serial communications cable * Power supply * International plugs (optional) HawkEyeTM 1500 Series Quick Start Guide 1-1 Chapter 1 HawkEyeTM 1500 Quick Start Guide FIGURE 1-1. Package Contents HawkEye 1515 International Plugs (Optional) 1-2 Serial Communications Cable Power Supply (Required) HawkEyeTM 1500 Series Quick Start Guide V2.2.1, July 2006 Recommended Configuration The minimum recommended system configuration is a PC with a Pentium II 200 MHz and 64MB of memory. This product runs on Windows 2000 (SP 4) and Windows XP (SP 2). WARNING! DO NOT LOOK AT THE LASER. WHEN READING PARTS THAT ARE HIGHLY REFLECTIVE, BE CAREFUL THAT THE LASER IS NOT REFLECTED INTO SOMEONE'S EYE. Getting the HawkEyeTM Up and Running At this point, the PC is optional, as the HawkEyeTM 1500 will operate in its default configuration. The PC may be needed later to adjust HawkEyeTM 1500 operating parameters to exactly match particular application requirements. Ultimately, a device such as a PC will be needed to capture the data output sent by the HawkEyeTM during the scanning operation. Use the following procedure to get your HawkEyeTM 1500 up and running: 1. Carefully remove the HawkEyeTM 1500 from its packaging. 2. For maximum adjustment flexibility, mount the HawkEyeTM 1500 on an adjustable ball swivel type mount (not supplied). 3. Adjust the HawkEyeTM 1500 to a reading angle of approximately 20 off the symbol's vertical axis or surface normal. Surface normal is the axis that is perpendicular to the surface on which the symbol is located. Visually, you can determine the 20 angle by aligning the symbol's surface normal parallel to the top edge of the HawkEyeTM 1500 graphic logo that is located on either side of the camera. This scan angle reduces surface glare and enhances contrast. The angle may be increased or decreased ( 10) to optimize read performance on different symbol surfaces. (See Figure 1-2.) V2.2.1, July 2006 HawkEyeTM 1500 Series Quick Start Guide 1-3 1 HawkEyeTM 1500 Quick Start Guide Recommended Configuration Chapter 1 HawkEyeTM 1500 Quick Start Guide FIGURE 1-2. Optimal Mounting for the HawkEyeTM 1515 20% Note: 20 (logo is vertical) is the correct angle for the HawkEyeTM 1515, as shown in Figure 1-2. However, due to the robustness of the algorithm, you can adjust the camera 10 to optimize read performance on different symbol surfaces 1-4 HawkEyeTM 1500 Series Quick Start Guide V2.2.1, July 2006 FIGURE 1-3. Optimal Mounting for the HawkEyeTM 1525 Note: The HawkEyeTM 1525 should be mounted perpendicular to the symbol being read, as shown in Figure 1-3. 4. Connect the power cord to the outlet and to the rear panel of the HawkEyeTM 1500 (DC-IN). Apply power and listen for three beeps at the end of the boot-up cycle, which takes approximately 15 seconds. Once the HawkEyeTM completes its boot cycle, it is operational, and ready to read symbols. This is indicated by the yellow Mode indicator being on. Note: By default, the HawkEyeTM 1500 ships with DHCP enabled. If the HawkEyeTM 1500 is not connected to a network with DHCP, it will time out after 15 seconds. The HawkEyeTM 1500's default configuration is called Demo mode, which allows easy operation and testing, as it does not require any external signals to operate. In Demo mode, the HawkEyeTM 1500 is programmed to keep both lighting and laser targeting permanently on. It also scans continuously for symbols (continuous internal trigger), while automatically adjusting the Photometry parameters (Exposure and Gain) to their optimum settings. V2.2.1, July 2006 HawkEyeTM 1500 Series Quick Start Guide 1 HawkEyeTM 1500 Quick Start Guide Getting the HawkEyeTM Up and Running 1-5 Chapter 1 HawkEyeTM 1500 Quick Start Guide 5. Place a Data Matrix or Barcode symbol under the HawkEyeTM 1500. See the sample symbols on page 1-21. 6. Establish the read range by physically moving the HawkEyeTM 1500 toward the symbol, starting from about 6 inches away, until the two laser dots are close together on the symbol. See Figure 1-4. WARNING! DO NOT LOOK AT THE LASER. WHEN READING PARTS THAT ARE HIGHLY REFLECTIVE, BE CAREFUL THAT THE LASER IS NOT REFLECTED INTO SOMEONE'S EYE. FIGURE 1-4. Laser Targeting NEAR FOCUS LIMIT FOCUS PLANE FAR FOCUS LIMIT Note: The point where the laser dots converge is when the HawkEyeTM 1500 is at "near focus." Moving the HawkEyeTM 1500 away from the symbol slightly will improve the focus. If you are using a HawkEyeTM 1515, remember to keep the 20 tilt angle to the symbol surface to eliminate reflections. HawkEyeTM 1510 and 1500 XL series do not have laser targeting. 1-6 HawkEyeTM 1500 Series Quick Start Guide V2.2.1, July 2006 The symbol is now within the HawkEyeTM 1500's read range. A good read will be indicated by a beep and the illumination of the green "Pass" indicator. Using QuicSet(R) Functionality The HawkEyeTM 1500's QuicSet(R) functions help you set up the camera without the need for an external program or PC. The QuicSet(R) functions are: * "QuicSet Symbol Alignment" on page 1-8 * "QuicSet Decoder Optimization" on page 1-9 * "QuicSet Decoder Factory Defaults" on page 1-10 Figure 1-5 shows the HawkEyeTM 1500 rear panel with the QuicSet recessed button highlighted. Figure 1-6 shows a paper clip inserted into the QuicSet(R) recessed button. FIGURE 1-5. V2.2.1, July 2006 HawkEyeTM 1500 Rear Panel HawkEyeTM 1500 Series Quick Start Guide 1-7 1 HawkEyeTM 1500 Quick Start Guide Using QuicSet(R) Functionality Chapter 1 HawkEyeTM 1500 Quick Start Guide FIGURE 1-6. Pressing QuicSet(R) Recessed Button QuicSet Symbol Alignment In its default mode of operation, the HawkEyeTM 1500 is programmed in a continuous read mode (non triggered) with targeting and illumination constantly on. In this mode, the HawkEyeTM 1500 automatically adjusts the Gain and Exposure parameters to the optimal level for the part that is within its field of view. This is called Auto Photometry. The Auto Photometry algorithm works with the data that is in the center of the field of view (FOV). Therefore, place the part that is being read as close as possible to the center of the FOV. To aid you in the alignment of the symbol in the center of the FOV, use the following procedure: 1. Insert a paper clip into the hole marked QuicSet, and press once (see Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6). Ensure that the yellow Mode light is flashing. Physically position the HawkEyeTM 1500 until the laser dots are almost together for small Data Matrix symbols, or slightly farther apart on the horizontal axis for bar code symbols. Note: The HawkEyeTM 1500 XL can still benefit from QuicSet alignment. Alignment and focus must be performed manually! 1-8 HawkEyeTM 1500 Series Quick Start Guide V2.2.1, July 2006 WARNING! DO NOT LOOK AT THE LASER. WHEN READING PARTS THAT ARE HIGHLY REFLECTIVE, BE CAREFUL THAT THE LASER IS NOT REFLECTED INTO SOMEONE'S EYE. When the laser beams are centered on the symbol, a series of beeps will be heard. The beeps have three tones and three rates: - Low -- Signals that the symbol is in the field of view - Middle -- Signals that the symbol is close to optimal read position - High -- Signals the optimal position The three LEDs above the blinking Mode LED correspond to the three beeps. 2. - With poor alignment, there are no LEDs flashing and there is no beeping. - As the alignment improves, the LEDs begin to illuminate, from bottom to top, and beeping begins. - At optimal alignment, all the LEDs are flashing and beeping is at its highest intensity. Slightly move the HawkEyeTM 1500 until the high intensity beep is achieved, lock down the camera's position, then press the QuicSet(R) button once to exit QuicSet(R) mode. You will hear three short beeps and the Mode LED will return to steady on. This indicates that the HawkEyeTM 1500 is ready to read using the QuicSet(R) mode settings. QuicSet Decoder Optimization When the HawkEyeTM 1500 is set up on a line to read one specific type of mark, the Decode algorithm can be optimized to look for symbols of the same type and size. By optimizing the Decode algorithm, the part will be read more reliably and, in most cases, more quickly. To optimize the decoder using QuicSet(R) while in continuous trigger mode, follow this procedure: V2.2.1, July 2006 HawkEyeTM 1500 Series Quick Start Guide 1-9 1 HawkEyeTM 1500 Quick Start Guide Using QuicSet(R) Functionality Chapter 1 HawkEyeTM 1500 Quick Start Guide 1. Insert a paper clip into the hole marked QuicSet and press twice (see Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6). The HawkEyeTM 1500 learns the symbol, which can be verified by the green LED and one quick beep. You can verify the learn by placing a different symbol in front of the HawkEyeTM 1500, at which time the Fail light will come on. QuicSet Decoder Factory Defaults When the HawkEyeTM 1500 needs to read a different part or a variety of parts, you need to "open up" the Decoder to read the different parts and symbols. These are the factory default settings for the HawkEyeTM 1500. If the Decoder has previously been optimized, simply: 1. Insert a paper clip into the hole marked QuicSet and press and hold it for 3 to 4 seconds (see Figure 1-5 and Figure 1-6). You will hear a short beep. Now the HawkEyeTM will read a variety of parts of differing sizes and symbology types. Note: The equivalent remote command is RESET FACTORY. For more information, see the HawkEyeTM 1500 Series Reference and Programmers Manual. QuicSet Summary TABLE 1-1. QuicSet(R) Summary QuicSet Button... 1-10 To...
