Position the Imager
Step 3 — Position the Imager
• Place the imager in an area with as little ambient light as possible.
• Place a black surface behind the area in which test tubes, caps, or symbols will
be
in
spected by the imager
.
Th
e black background provides the contrast necessary for the imager to detect the
presence or absence of objects in its field of view.
• Position the imager at a focal distance between 2 and 6 inches from a sample tube, cap,
or
symbol.
• Position the imager relative to the object to avoid the glare of direct (specular) reflection
.
Important:
Avoid excessive skew or pitch. Maximum skew is
±30°
; maximum pitch is
±30°
.
The
illustration below shows skew axis, pitch axis, and tilt axis.
• Objects can be rotated at any angle; however, for best results, objects should be aligned
with
the FOV (field of view).
Note: For accuracy of testing and performance, Microscan recommends using a mounting
arm adapter kit. Contact your Microscan sales manager for details about mounting arm
adapter kits and other accessories.

EZ Match Imager and Object in Field of View
Place a black background
behind the area where
test tubes, caps, or
symbols will be
inspected by the
imager. This is important
because it provides the
contrast necessary for
the imager to detect
the presence or
absence of objects in
the field of view.
Note: Imager shown
at 90° tilt.
