3. General Information
3.1 Overall Dimensions
The dimensions of the BeeVision 272 are 2740 x 375 x
405mm (WxDxH). The specified dimensions are shown in Figure 3.1
below (units are in mm).
Figure 3.1
3.2 Main Parts
Camera Unit: There are 2 camera units located at both ends of the
device. Cameras capture 2- and 3-dimensional images from both
corners.
Mounting Brackets: Brackets allow the user to mount the device on
walls or ceilings. The distance between the device and measurement
surface is important, please refer to the installation manual for the
correct installation.

6
Sigma Profiles: There are 2 sigma profiles on which Camera Units and
Processor are mounted on.
Processor: Processor collects data from Camera Units and runs the
measurement software.
Wireless Antenna: Antenna is used for Wi-Fi connection.
Connectors:
1. POWER MAIN: This port is the main power port of the device.
2. ETHERNET: You can use this port to connect an ethernet
cable.
3. USB OUT: You can use this port to connect a USB cable.
4. USB DISP: USB port for touch screen operation of the
monitor.
5. HDMI DISP: Video output for the monitor.
6. POWER DISP: Power output for the Monitor.
7. USB BARCODE: USB connection for the handheld barcode
reader.
8. SERIAL: RS232 connection for the scale.
9. USB H1: Data port for the Camera Unit 1.
10. USB H2: Data input for the Camera Unit 2.
If you are going to add a monitor to your system, you
should use the HDMI Display port, and if the monitor
is touchscreen, you should use the USB Disp Port. If
you are going to use a 12V Monitor, don’t use the
Power Disp Port. You can supply power by simply
plugging it into any socket with the adapter.

The +12V input of the power_main and power_disp
connectors is the left pin when viewed from the
back of the processor head.

4. Using the Device
4.1 Turning On/Off
When the power cord is inserted into the power port and
given mains voltage, 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 turn off the device, simply unplug the power cord.
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 the mouse cursor with Ctrl+Shift+M combinations on
your keyboard.
Please refer to the Software Guide for more
details on how to integrate BeeVision into your
system.

4.2 Measurement Area
There are two Camera Units at both ends of the device. The
field of view of these cameras is shown in Figure 1.1. For the device
to measure an object, the object must be placed on a flat surface that
was used for calibration.
Figure 4.1
For maximum measurement accuracy, you must
mount the components in the positions shown in
the installation manual.

10
Make sure that the dimensions of objects are less
than 2400 x 2400 x 2400 (WxDxH) mm. Otherwise,
the object will not fit in the field of view.
4.3 Volumizer
Volumizer is the software installed in the BeeVision
dimensioners that enable 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.
Figure 4.2

11
It also has a web-based user interface (Web UI) that can be
accessed from a browser with the following address:
http://IP_address_of_device. The officially supported browser is
Google Chrome.

If you use a different browser than Google Chrome,
some functions may not work as expected.
Users can navigate to the pages from the main
menu as shown in Figure 4.2 and Figure 4.3.

4.4 Calibration
BeeVision 272 dimensioning system is not delivered as pre-
calibrated. The calibration process should be done after the device is
installed at its final location. For calibration, a checkerboard and a
cube with a size of 300 x 300 x 300 mm are provided.
The camera units’ outputs are first merged, then the system is
calibrated. Follow the instructions below to perform these steps.
Merging Cameras: In the main menu, navigate to the “Dimension”
submenu, and press the “Source” button. In this screen, you can see
the camera views. Place the calibration checkerboard in the center
of the red-colored bounding box shown in Error! Reference source
not found.. Then place the sheet metal parts around the
checkerboard to firmly fix the paper on the ground. At this stage, be
careful that the sheet metal parts do not come over the squares.
After that, click the Merge button. When the process is finished, shift
the calibration object to the new position as indicated on the screen
and put the sheet parts again, click the OK button. When operation
is completed, “Merging Status” will indicate “Done”.
Figure 4.4
Calibration: Go back to the upper menu and click the “Calibration”
button.

17
Step 1: Crudely select the measurement area using (+) and (-)
buttons. If there is a scale, you should select the scale and not include
the floor. Make sure the selected area is clearly smaller than the
measurement surface area (scale surface). Go to Step 2.
Figure 4.5
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.
Figure 4.6

18
Step 3: Define the measurement area finely using (+) and (-) buttons.
Make sure the measurement area exceeds the scale surface from all
dimensions and go to next step.
Figure 4.7

19
Step 4: Place the calibration cube of 300 x 300 x 300 mm dimensions
in the middle of the measurement area. Click the Refine Calibration
button. When the process is completed, press “Measure” button to
measure the cube and check the results to be within ±0.5cm
tolerance. If the height is not within tolerance, please go back to Step
2and refine the distance to the measurement surface manually and
come back to this step and re-measure. Do not forget to click on
“Save Calibration” button when done.
