1 Overview
This document describes the usage of the BeeVisionTM 180 dimensioning and
weighing system.
BeeVision dimensioners are provided with VolumizerTM software that enables
users to easily self-calibrate the device, perform measurements and share
results. Users can use the BeeVision Dimensioners with Volumizer-GUI available
on an attached monitor or with Volumizer-WebUI from their browser on their PC,
tablet or smart-phone. For more details about the Volumizer, please refer to the
Software Guide document.
With Volumizer-API, users can control their dimensioner remotely and integrate
it into their software infrastructure.
BeeVision dimensioners are designed as stand-alone devices. There is no need
to have a PC or install a software to get the results from BeeVision devices.

4 Turning ON/OFF
When the power cord is inserted into the power port and given mains voltage,
turn the power switch to on state and the system will be ready for use. The input
mains voltage BeeVision dimensioner must be at an interval between 100V-
240V and 50Hz/60Hz.
To connect the BeeVision dimensioner to a computer or a local network for data
transfer, simply use an Ethernet cable. Please refer to the Software Guide for
more details on how to integrate BeeVision to your system.
The mouse cursor is by default hidden in Volumizer UI. If you would
like to connect a mouse and a keyboard, you can enable/disable
mouse cursor with Ctrl+Shift+M combinations in your keyboard.
To turn off the device, simply unplug the power cord or turn the power switch to
the off state.

5 Field of View
Field of View
The field of view of BeeVision is 60x40as illustrated in FIGURE 4. There should
be at least 40 cm distance between the object and the device for proper
measurement operation.

FIGURE 4: HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL FIELD OF VIEW
The measurement area of the BeeVision 180 dimensioner can be changed
on the calibration page. The measurement area should be in the field of view
of the device. Some parts of irregular objects may remain out of sight of the
device as illustrated in FIGURE 5. Only the surfaces that are visible to the
device are included in measurement calculations.

7Volumizer
Volumizer is the software installed in the BeeVision dimensioners that enables
users to control the device, perform calibration and measurements. It has a
graphical user interface (GUI) that can be used when BeeVision is connected to
a monitor. It also has a web-based user interface (WebUI) that can be accessed
from a browser with the following address: http://IP_address_of_device. Google
Chrome browser is officially supported.
Users can navigate to the pages from the main menu as shown in FIGURE 6and
FIGURE 7.
If you use a different browser than Google Chrome, some functions
may not work as expected.

8 Operation
BeeVision 180 static dimensioning system is delivered as pre-calibrated. If the
distance between the dimensioner and the measurement surface is not
changed, there is no need to recalibrate the device. The measurement area is by
default the same size as the measurement platform size. Users can freely
decrease or increase the size of the measurement area in Step-3 on the
Calibration page.
To perform a measurement, an object must be placed into the measurement area
and measurement should be triggered either automatically or manually
depending on the selected trigger mode. During the measurement, there must
be only one object in the measurement area. Objects can be placed with any
orientation to any location in the defined measurement area. BeeVision
dimensioners cannot measure transparent objects such as glass.
If the dimensions of the object are outside of the limits of devices range, then an
error message is displayed if the corresponding check is activated on the
Measurement Settings page.
There are several trigger modes in BeeVision dimensioners that can be selected
on the Measurement Settings page:
Manual Triggering: Manual operation mode. The user needs to press the
Measure button in GUI or WebUI to perform the measurement.

Barcode Scanner Triggering: The user needs to scan a barcode with an
attached barcode scanner to start a measurement. Measurement is triggered
after the scan event. In addition to the dimensioning results, the barcode is
also shown.
Automatic Triggering: Automatic operation mode. Whenever a package is
placed into the measurement area, its dimensions are measured and shown.
Manual & Bar. Scanner Triggering: Manual and Barcode Scanner triggering
methods can be used at the same time.
Scale Triggering: When a package is placed on the scale, measurement is
automatically triggered after a certain time of delay.
Trigger settings can be changed on the Measurement Settings page of GUI
or WebUI.
Calibration
If you need to re-calibrate the dimensioner in BeeVision 180, navigate to the
Calibration page of UI or WebUI and follow the steps explained below. You do
not need to repeat the calibration process unless the dimensioner is relocated.
Step 1: Crudely select the measurement area using (+) and (-) buttons. The
selected area must on the scale. Go to the next step.
Step 2: Remove any objects from the calibration area defined in the previous
step and press the Calibrate button. Measurement surface is detected and
indicated in white color. Then, go to the next step.
Step 3: Define the measurement area finely using (+) and (-) buttons and go to
step-4.
Step 4: Make test measurements. If the height is a little off, go back to Step-2
and manually adjust the ground height for your convenience and retry
measurement in Step-4. Finally, save the calibration. If not saved, calibration
results are reset after a reboot.
After the calibration, you can go to the Measure page to start measuring.
