ASSEMBLE THE CAMERA
The first step to perform is to assemble any accessories that make up the T4x-Series™ camera.
A lens must be used. A strobe or other external illuminator may be required.
CAUTION
The camera must be disconnected from the power supply during this
procedure.
1. In a dust-free environment, remove the Camera Lens Cover by unscrewing it.
CAUTION
Do not touch the sensor aperture, lens glass or lens cover glass. These
areas must be kept clean. Avoid any abrasive substances that might
damage these surfaces during cleaning.

2. Remove the sensor protection label (dust cap) by pulling it off of the base.
3. Mount a lens by slowly screwing it onto the base until it arrives at the mechanical stop.
Figure 1 – Assembling the Camera and Lens
4. To keep dust and dirt off of the lens during mounting, temporarily replace the lens cover.
Connect the System
In the typical standalone layout shown in the figure below, an EtherNet host is connected to the
camera. The camera can use an external trigger to signal image acquisition.
The CBX is used to facilitate the connection between the camera and the host interface, external
trigger, and optional input and output devices.

•Power Supply Connection
Use the PG-120 power Kit (3 versions for European, UK or US plug) and CAB-PG-0002 +
BA400 connector to connect the PG-120 to the CBX. An alternative power supply to the PG-
120 is the PWR-120.
•CBX Connection
Use CAB-SCSxx between the T4x-Series camera and the CBX for power, external trigger
device (photocell), and additional I/O connections.
Use the CAB-GE0x for the Gigabit Ethernet connection to the host.
NOTE
The T4x-Series does not support sourcing power towards the CBX in order
to power I/O devices. These devices must be powered through the CBX or
from an external source.
CAUTION
Do not connect GND and SGND to different (external) ground references.
GND and SGND are internally connected through filtering circuitry which
can be permanently damaged if subjected to voltage drops over 0.8 Vdc.

MOUNTING THE CAMERA
Using the T4x-Series mounting brackets, you can obtain rotation on the various axes of the
camera as shown in the diagrams below.
Figure 3 –Positioning with Body Mounting Bracket (Back)
CBX ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
All T4x-Series cameras can be connected to a CBX500 connection box using a CAB-SCSxx
accessory cable. These accessory cables terminate in a 19-pin connector on the camera side
and in a 25-pin male D-sub connector on the CBX side.
We recommend making system connections through one of the CBX connection boxes since
they offer the advantages of easy connection, easy device replacement, and filtered reference
signals.
The table below shows the terminal block connections for the CBX500.

NOTE
To avoid electromagnetic interference when the camera is connected to a
CBX connection box, verify the jumper positions in the CBX as indicated in
its Installation Manual.
POWER SUPPLY
NOTE
The T4x-Series does not support sourcing power towards the CBX through
the CBX "power from device" source jumper setting. Power must be
supplied to the CBX as shown below.
To power the camera and/or I/O devices through the CBX, power must be supplied to the
CBX500 spring clamp terminal pins as shown in Figure 4:
Figure 4 - Power Supply Connections
The power must be between 10 and 30 Vdc only.
It is recommended to connect the device CHASSIS to earth ground (Earth) by setting the
appropriate jumper in the CBX connection box. See the CBX Installation Manual for details.
CAUTION
Do not connect GND and SGND to different (external) ground references.
GND and SGND are internally connected through filtering circuitry which
can be permanently damaged if subjected to voltage drops over 0.8 Vdc.

RS232 SERIAL INTERFACE
The signals relative to the following serial interface types are available on the CBX spring clamp
terminal blocks.
The serial interface parameters (baud rate, data bits, etc.) are defined in Vision Program
Manager (VPM) software. Refer to the Serial Port section of the Impact Reference Guide
(Publication # 843-0093).
The following pins are used for RS232 interface connection. The Impact software does not
support hardware (CTS/RTS) or software (Xon/Xoff) data flow control.

INPUTS
There are two optocoupled polarity insensitive inputs available on the camera: Input 1 (Trigger)
and Input 2, a generic input:
The Trigger is used to trigger the camera so that it will acquire an image.
Input 2 can be used as a signal to a software task to perform an action.
The electrical features of both inputs are:
VAB = 30 Vdc max.
IIN = 10 mA (camera) + 12 mA (CBX) max.
The active state of these inputs are selected in software. Refer to the Camera Setup tab and
Discrete Input tool sections of the Impact Reference Guide (Publication # 843-0093).
An anti-disturbance filter is implemented in software on both inputs so that the minimum pulse
duration is ≅0.5 milliseconds. This value can be increased through the software parameter

INPUTS
13
Debounce Filter. Refer to the Camera Setup tab section in the Impact Reference Guide for
further details.
These inputs are optocoupled and can be driven by both NPN and PNP type commands.
NOTE
Polarity insensitive inputs assure full functionality even if pins A and B are
exchanged.
EXTERNAL TRIGGER CONNECTIONS

OUTPUTS
Three optocoupled general purpose outputs are available. The meaning of the outputs can be
defined by the user. They are typically used either to signal the data collection result or to control
an external lighting system.
The electrical features of the two outputs are the following:
VCE = 30 Vdc max.
ICE = 40 mA continuous max.; 130 mA pulsed max.
VCE saturation = 1 Vdc max. @ 10 mA
PD= 80 mW Max. @ 45 °C ambient temp.
The output signals are fully programmable. Refer to the Discrete Output tool section in the

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
Software configuration of your T4x-Series camera can be accomplished by the procedures
described in the Impact Reference Guide. VPM is used to configure the camera for specific
applications, and provides the tools to create vision programs.
VPM™ SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
To install and run Vision Program Manager™ you should have a Laptop or PC that meets or
exceeds the requirements defined in the system requirements section of the Impact Reference
Guide.
INSTALLING IMPACT SOFTWARE
A client computer is required to install Impact software and configure the camera. Refer to the
T4x-Series Reference Manual for client system requirements. To install Impact Software,
proceed as follows:
1. Turn on the Laptop or PC that will be used for configuration (connected to the Ethernet port
of the T4x-Series camera).
2. You may need to turn off automatic virus checking during the install if it causes installation
problems.
3. You must log in to an operating system account that has administrative privileges in order to
install or run Impact software on a Windows operating system.

T4x-SERIES QUICKSTART GUIDE

4. To be able to communicate, the client and device’s IP addresses for the local area
connection must be configured. The vision device is shipped with a factory default IP
address of 192.168.0.128 and a default mask of 255.255.255.0. If you need to change the
device’s IP address or mask, do so before installation.
5. Insert the Impact Installation CD in the drive.
6. The installation program should start. Select the language you want the install to use, then
click OK.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions. You will have the option to install Impact software to the
client, camera, or both.
Note: If security is enabled on the camera, you cannot install new software on it. You must
exit the install program, disable security on the camera, then restart the install.
