Introduction
The iVu TG Image Sensor is used to monitor labels, parts, and packaging for type, size, orientation, shape, and location. The sensor has
an integrated color touch screen display making installation, setup and configuration easy without requiring a PC.

Quick Start Overview
This guide is designed to provide the necessary information to get the iVu TG sensor
up and running quickly. It provides an overview of the sensor and illustrates how to set
up the sensor to inspect a label, part, or packaging. The flow chart at left provides an
overview of the process.

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to seri-
ous injury or death. This product does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to
allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an ener-
gized or de-energized sensor output condition.
CAUTION: Electrostatic Discharge
Avoid the damage that electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause to the Sensor.
Always use a proven method for preventing electrostatic discharge when installing a lens or attaching a
cable.

Installing and Connecting the Sensor
The iVu TG sensor requires a bracket for mounting. Three brackets are available from Ban-
ner. The brackets allow the sensor to be mounted either perpendicular to the part or at an
adjustable angle.
Available iVu Brackets
SMBIVURAL SMBIVURAR SMBIVUU
Thread three M4 x 4mm screws through the bracket into the mounting holes in the bottom of the sensor. Tighten all three screws.

Demo Mode
The first time you power up the iVu TG sensor, it starts in Demo Mode. Demo Mode uses stored images and inspection parameters that
demonstrate how the sensor is set up without having to worry about focus, lighting, or triggers. In this mode, you can learn how to make
adjustments working with the three sensor types while observing how the adjustments affect the sensor results. When you exit Demo
Mode, the sensor reboots into its normal operating mode with default settings.
NOTE: You may return to Demo Mode any time by going to Main Menu > System > Sensor Type and select-
ing Demo Mode.
Sensor Types
The iVu TG sensor includes three Sensor Types:
Selecting a Sensor Type
When you exit Demo Mode, the sensor reboots with a single inspection with a Match sensor type by default. To change the Sensor Type:
1. Go to Main Menu > System > Sensor Type
This displays the Sensor Type menu options.
2. Select either Area , Blemish, or Match.
3. Click the Home Screen icon in the upper-left corner of the screen to return to the Home screen.

Acquiring a Good Image
The iVu Series sensor needs to capture a good image of each part to ensure that it correctly passes good parts and fails bad parts.
1. Go to Main Menu > Imager > Auto Exposure to run the Auto Exposure routine.
2. Check the lighting.
• Make sure that the lighting is constant and consistent (unchanging over time, no shadows or hot spots).
• Capture the shape and form of the target object with lighting that optimizes its contrast and separates it from the background.
Depending on the target, this may mean the integral ring light is not the best choice and other Banner lights should be consid-
ered.
• Adjust the mounting angle to provide the clearest image of the part features you are monitoring. The mounting bracket lets you
easily position and adjust the sensor on your line.
3. If needed, go to Main Menu > Imager > Auto Exposure to run the Auto Exposure routine a second time or adjust Gain and
Exposure manually:
•Main Menu > Imager > Gain
•Main Menu > Imager > Exposure
4. Go to Main Menu > Imager > Focus to adjust the focus while monitoring the Focus Number:

For Micro-lens Models Only:
1. Use the supplied 1/16" hex key to loosen the Focusing Window locking screw (D), then adjust focus on the iVu Series sensor using
the clear Focusing Window (B).
2. Adjust focus while monitoring the focus number. To ensure the best image, adjust the focus until
the Focus Number peaks.
NOTE: Turning the Focusing Window counter-clockwise focuses on
closer objects, while turning the Focusing Window clockwise focuses
on more distant objects.
3. Once the best image has been acquired, lock the focusing window.
