2. When mounting the Smart-VS take into consideration these three ideal label posi-
tion angles: Pitch or Skew 10° to 20° and Tilt 0°, although the device can operate
at any tilt and skew angle provided the object feature to be inspected fits into the
Field Of View (FOV).
Figure 5 - Max. 20% pitch to avoid direct reflections
NOTE: Rapid Configuration of the Smart-VS sensor can be made either
through the HMI interface (see "Button Teaching Procedure" on page 4)
which requires no PC connection, or by using the Smart-VS WebApp (see
"Using the Smart-VS WebApp" on page 8). Select the procedure according
to your needs.
