  • The product is to be mounted, connected, used, and maintained by trained adults only. To ensure safe operation, the product should be transported, stored, mounted, connected, used, and maintained properly.

  • Laser is hazardous; please familiarize yourself with hazard prevention before using the camera.

Precautions for Mounting and Using the Camera

  • It is PROHIBITED to place any explosive or flammable substances near the camera. Do not expose the product to open fire or high temperature. Do not place the product in fire or crush the product mechanically. Doing so may cause explosion.

  • Do not throw, drop, or collide the camera with other objects. The camera may be damaged by strong shock or vibration. Do not repair or disassemble the camera by yourself. Mech-Mind shall not be liable for any damage caused by repair or disassembly not performed by Mech-Mind.

  • Do not allow any foreign object, such as metal pieces, dust, paper, and wood chips, to enter the camera. Doing so may lead to fire, electric shock, malfunction, etc.

  • Do not use the camera at extremely high or low temperature. For the operating temperature of the camera, please refer to Technical Specifications.

  • Please use the camera indoors (except for LSR S).

  • Please use the camera at elevations below 4000 meters.

  • Do not stare into the light beam when using the camera.

  • Please install the camera in a well-circulated, open place.

Check the Camera

  • Before using, please check the camera carefully for damage, signs of water entry, suspicious odor, smoke, loose or damaged bolts, etc., and make sure that the camera is in proper working conditions. If any of the above abnormalities occur, please disconnect the power immediately.

  • High temperature will age the power cable. Please check the power cable regularly for signs of aging. If the cable has aged, please contact Mech-Mind to acquire a replacement.

Usage of Adapter / DIN Rail Power Supply

  • Do not use the product if the power port, power adapter / DIN rail power supply, or power socket is wet.

  • Do not heat or put the adapter / DIN rail power supply and power cable in fire.

  • Please use a 24 V isolated adapter / DIN rail power supply with an output power of 36 W (NANO and PRO XS) or 90 W (other models).

  • Please use the specified voltage. Failure to do so may lead to fire, electric shock, malfunction, etc. The adapter / DIN rail power supply and power cable should be properly grounded. It is recommended to use the isolated adapter / DIN rail power supply provided by Mech-Mind.

  • Power plugs should be properly grounded. Do not place the adapter / DIN rail power supply in a place that is hard to disconnect the power.

  • Please install the DIN rail power supply inside a control cabinet.

  • Use copper conductors only.

Precautions for Using Laser Cameras

  • DO NOT look into the laser beam or the reflected laser beam directly. Do not look into the laser beam with optical instruments. Doing so may lead to eye injuries. DO NOT direct the laser at other people.

  • The laser beam must be lower or higher than and never at eye level.

  • Be cautious of the path of the laser beam. If there is a possibility that personnel may be exposed to the specular or diffuse reflections, block the beam by installing a protective enclosure.

  • Do not enter the areas that the laser / reflected laser output reaches. Do not place any reflective light object (mirror, glass, metal, etc.) in the path of the laser beam.

  • After the product is powered on, wait at least 30 minutes before using the product. Otherwise, data quality may be unstable. While adjusting the parameters, do not turn off the power. Doing so may lead to loss of some or all parameter adjustments.

  • LASER ENERGY - EXPOSURE NEAR APERTURE MAY CAUSE BURNS.

  • NOTE: The risk of skin injury is only likely for highly divergent beams for exposure close to the aperture.

Notice for Disposal

  • Please comply with local laws and regulations when disposing of the camera to avoid polluting the environment. Do not dispose of the old battery in domestic waste. Do not dispose of the product irresponsibly. Improper disposal may pollute the environment.

  • The pollution degree of the product is 3.

Mounting the Camera

For camera dimensions, please refer to Technical Specifications. Please prepare a wrench.

Mount through the Camera Bracket

The camera bracket and the heat-dissipation panel (LSR S only) are attached to the back of the camera when packaged.

As shown below, tighten the two bolts with the wrench.

  • PRO S / PRO M, DEEP, UHP-140, LSR S, and LSR L:

    mount with bracket 1
  • NANO and PRO XS:

    mount with bracket 2

Mount through Threaded Holes on the Back

  • Please remove the camera bracket and heat-dissipation panel (LSR S only) before mounting.

  • When mounting LSR S using this method, ensure that the back of the camera is in close contact with a metal surface for heat dissipation, so that the camera does not overheat and malfunction.

As shown below, use the wrench to loosely screw on the bolts in the specified order, and then fully tighten all the bolts in the specified order.

  • PRO S / PRO M, DEEP, UHP-140, LSR S, and LSR L:

    mount with threaded holes 1
  • NANO and PRO XS:

    mount with threaded holes 2

Mount through Threaded Holes at the Top (LSR S and UHP-140)

Please remove the camera bracket before mounting.

As shown below, use the wrench to loosely screw on the bolts in the specified order, and then fully tighten all the bolts in the specified order.

Connect the Camera

Ethernet Cable

As shown below, insert the M12-A connector of the Ethernet cable into the ETH port on the camera, and insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port on the IPC.

DC Power Cable

As shown below, insert the M12-A connector of the DC power cable into the DC 24V port on the camera.

connect the camera
power cable connection

When inserting the Ethernet cable and DC power cable:

  1. Align the bump in the connector with the notch in the port.

  2. Tighten the nut. The recommended tightening torque is 0.7 N·m. A gap of about 2 mm remains after the nut is fully tightened.

  • Network switch can be used to connect the camera and IPC.

  • Supply power after all cables are fully connected. After power is supplied, the PWR indicator light should be solid green. If not, please contact Mech-Mind.

  • When mounting the camera onto a robot arm or other mobile equipment, please fasten the DC power and Ethernet cables on the camera end properly to avoid damaging the cables or connectors due to strain.

DIN Rail Power Supply

  • Please prepare the AC power cable.

  • The instructions below apply to the DIN rail power supply provided by Mech-Mind. If you use your own DIN rail power supply, please refer to its user manual for connection instructions.

din rail incorrect

din rail correct

Incorrect

Correct

The AC power cable has three wires: L, N, and PE (pe).

The DC power cable has three wires: +V, -V and PE (pe).

When wiring the DIN rail power supply, wires of the power cable must be inserted to the corresponding input/output terminals.

  • Please mount the DIN rail power supply inside a control cabinet.

  • The DIN rail power supply or the DIN rail should be reliably grounded. If mounting multiple DIN rail power supplies on the same DIN rail, ensure enough distance in between.

  • Please use a single-phase, 3-prong power outlet with protective grounding for the AC power.

Maintenance

Cleaning

When cleaning the surface of the product, please use a clean soft cloth to gently wipe off the dust and debris. When cleaning the lenses, to avoid scratching, you can use a clean, soft lint-free cloth with lens cleaner or glass cleaner to carefully wipe the lenses.

  • Do not clean the camera with corrosive or volatile solvents such as alcohol, gasoline and kerosene. These substances may damage the exterior and internal structure of the camera.
