1 CHAPTER 1 HawkEye 1500 Quick Start Guide 1 HawkEye 1500 Quick Start Guide The Quick Start Guide contains step by step procedural information to set up the Microscan HawkEye 1500 series camera. 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: CD (contains software and documentation) HawkEye 1500 smart camera (1515 shown in Figure 1 1) Serial communications cable Power supply with international plug adapters (optional accessory) V2.4.1, Nov 2008 HawkEye 1500 Series Quick Start Guide 1-1

Package Contents HawkEye 1515 Serial Communications Cable Power Supply with International Plug Adapters (Optional) Note: Newer HawkEye 1515 cameras look different that the camera shown here. 1-2 HawkEye 1500 Series Quick Start Guide V2.4.1, Nov 2008

Recommended Configuration 1 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). HawkEye 1500 Quick Start Guide 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 HawkEye Up and Running At this point, the PC is optional, as the HawkEye 1500 will operate in its default configuration. The PC may be needed later to adjust HawkEye 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 HawkEye during the scanning operation. Use the following procedure to get your HawkEye 1500 up and running: 1. Carefully remove the HawkEye 1500 from its packaging. 2. For maximum adjustment flexibility, mount the HawkEye 1500 on an adjustable ball swivel type mount (not supplied). 3. Adjust the HawkEye 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 HawkEye 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.) V2.4.1, Nov 2008 HawkEye 1500 Series Quick Start Guide 1-3

Chapter 1 HawkEye 1500 Quick Start Guide FIGURE 1 2. Optimal Mounting for the HawkEye 1515 Note: 20 (dotted line is vertical) is the correct angle for the HawkEye 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 HawkEye 1500 Series Quick Start Guide V2.4.1, Nov 2008

Getting the HawkEye Up and Running 1 FIGURE 1 3. Optimal Mounting for the HawkEye 1525 HawkEye 1500 Quick Start Guide Note: The HawkEye 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 HawkEye 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 HawkEye 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 HawkEye 1500 ships with DHCP enabled. If the HawkEye 1500 is not connected to a network with DHCP, it will time out after 15 seconds. The HawkEye 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 HawkEye 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. V2.4.1, Nov 2008 HawkEye 1500 Series Quick Start Guide 1-5

Chapter 1 HawkEye 1500 Quick Start Guide 5. Place a Data Matrix or Barcode symbol under the HawkEye 1500. See the sample symbols on page 1 19. 6. Establish the read range by physically moving the HawkEye 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 HawkEye 1500 is at near focus. Moving the HawkEye 1500 away from the symbol slightly will improve the focus. If you are using a HawkEye 1515, remember to keep the 20 tilt angle to the symbol surface to eliminate reflections. HawkEye 1510 and 1500 XL series do not have laser targeting. The symbol is now within the HawkEye 1500 s read range. A good read will be indicated by a beep and the illumination of the green Pass indicator. 1-6 HawkEye 1500 Series Quick Start Guide V2.4.1, Nov 2008

Using QuicSet Functionality 1 Using QuicSet Functionality The HawkEye 1500 s QuicSet functions help you set up the camera without the need for an external program or PC. The QuicSet functions are: QuicSet Symbol Alignment on page 1-7 QuicSet Decoder Optimization on page 1-9 HawkEye 1500 Quick Start Guide QuicSet Decoder Factory Defaults on page 1-9 Figure 1 5 shows the HawkEye 1500 rear panel with the QuicSet recessed button highlighted. FIGURE 1 5. HawkEye 1500 Rear Panel QuicSet Symbol Alignment In its default mode of operation, the HawkEye 1500 is programmed in a continuous read mode (non triggered) with targeting and illumination constantly on. In this mode, the HawkEye 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: V2.4.1, Nov 2008 HawkEye 1500 Series Quick Start Guide 1-7

Chapter 1 HawkEye 1500 Quick Start Guide 1. Insert a paper clip into the hole marked QuicSet, and press once (see Figure 1 5). Ensure that the yellow Mode light is flashing. Physically position the HawkEye 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 HawkEye 1500 XL can still benefit from QuicSet alignment. Alignment and focus must be performed manually! 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. 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. 2. Slightly move the HawkEye 1500 until the high intensity beep is achieved, lock down the camera s position, then press the QuicSet button once to exit QuicSet mode. 1-8 HawkEye 1500 Series Quick Start Guide V2.4.1, Nov 2008

Using QuicSet Functionality 1 You will hear three short beeps and the Mode LED will return to steady on. This indicates that the HawkEye 1500 is ready to read using the QuicSet mode settings. QuicSet Decoder Optimization When the HawkEye 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. HawkEye 1500 Quick Start Guide To optimize the decoder using QuicSet while in continuous trigger mode, follow this procedure: 1. Insert a paper clip into the hole marked QuicSet and press twice (see Figure 1 5). The HawkEye 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 HawkEye 1500, at which time the Fail light will come on. QuicSet Decoder Factory Defaults When the HawkEye 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 HawkEye 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). You will hear a short beep. Now the HawkEye 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 HawkEye 1500 Series Reference and Programmers Manual. V2.4.1, Nov 2008 HawkEye 1500 Series Quick Start Guide 1-9
