2.4 Device Status Lights
The ICU device has three status LEDs and an illuminated Image Capture logo. From
left to right the LEDs are: Amber, Green and Red. These LEDs report different statuses
depending on the process that it is currently undertaking; see the below tables for
further information.
2.4.1 Boot Up Sequence

LED Status
Power-On Indication
Operating System Started
Age Verification Initialised
Boot-Up Completed
After the boot up sequence is completed the green LED on the ICU device will remain
illuminated. When communications are received from the host machine the ICU logo
will begin to flash to indicate receipt and response. The boot-up sequence typically
takes around 1minute to complete.
2.4.2 Age Verification Sequence
After receipt of an enable command, see Section 5.1, the following process occurs:
Step
LED Status
Waiting for face
Face Detected
Age Verification Processing
Age Verification Completed &
waiting for next face.
The Age Verification sequence will be repeated while a face is detected in the image.
Processing times will vary depending on processing options and configuration settings.

(ES1) to IEC/UL 62368-1, or specified as SELV according to IEC/UL 60950-1.
Voltage
12VDC (+/- 10%)
Current

3.2 Connection Specification
The ICU device has two sockets on the back of the unit; a power connection socket
and a communication socket. The location of these is shown in Section 2.2.
The drawing for the power cable is shown in Section 6.1.2.
The communication cable is a standard USB Type-A to Type-B Micro USB cable. This
micro USB cable provides the physical link through which communications and video
are transmitted. The maximum length of this data cable is 3 metres.
3.3 Screw Specification
The table below shows the screw specifications for the different screws on the ICU
device. The bezel screws are provided with the unit as it is already attached, the other
screws must be sourced separately.

3.4 Bezel Mounting
It is possible to remove the front face of the ICU device to mount it inside a machine.
This lets you secure the face of the unit to the outside of the machine, while mounting
the ICU device behind it inside the machine:

Ensure that the cut-out area of the host machine is large enough so as not to cover
the cameras. See Section 6.1.1 for measurement drawings. The minimum and
maximum widths of the machine panel is shown in the diagram below (measurements
in millimetres):

4INSTALLATION AND USE
Choosing the optimum setup will generate the best results. Camera technology
requires careful consideration of the lighting, including subject illumination and
background lighting. The ICU implements automated exposure settings that help to
reduce poor illumination conditions. However, despite this, the location of the ICU and
the surrounding lighting is key to achieving the best accuracy. Consider the points
below when deciding on the location of the installation:
Do:
•Locate ICU device 60-80 cm from the subject’s face.
•Place the ICU device so that the subject will look into the camera.
•Ensure the subject’s face will have good illumination.
Avoid:
•Poor illumination of the subject’s face.
•Bright background lighting.
(these will severely
affect the performance)

5SOFTWARE INTEGRATION
The ICU operates as a UVC webcam device over USB, with age verification or
estimation details using the SSP interface over the same USB connection.
5.1 SSP Communication Flow
On connecting the ICU to a PC, standard COM Port and UVC drivers will be
enumerated. These are then used for interfacing with your application.
The flow chart below shows the basic command sequence when communicating via
SSP. See SSP manual and the SSP Implementation guide for more information.
Ensures the communication packets
are synchronized from this point.
Ensures the correct version of SSP is
being used
Request information about the
device setup/configuration
Allows the age verification process
to take place on detected faces
Request info on detections or other
events

Poll commands should be sent every 200ms. If the ICU does not receive poll command
for 5 seconds, it will automatically revert to the disabled state. An Enable command
(0x0A) must be sent to the ICU before any further processes will be performed.
The possible responses to the Poll command are outlined below, each response must
be handled appropriately within the machine software:
Response
Hex Code
Description
Disabled
0xE8
Device is in a disabled state, send the Enable
command to use the device.
Process Event
0x11
If data byte is 0x01, device is initialising. Please
wait until this is no longer reported before
attempting to enable or modify the ICU.
Face Detected
0x14
Face detected in central camera’s field of view.
Age Detected
0x15
Depending on ICU settings (Age Verify or Age
Estimate) this will report either a Pass/Check or
the estimated age. See SSP Manual for further
explanation of the data bytes.
Error Event
0x16
An error occurred. Details are provided in the
data transmitted.
Data Processing
0x17
The ICU device is currently processing a result.
Slave Reset
0xF1
The ICU device has been powered up or power
cycled and has run through its reset process.

5.2 UVC Webcam
USB Video Class (UVC) is a defined standard for USB video devices. To simplify
development, the ICU falls into this family of devices.
The following indicates a typical UVC application interaction within an operating
system (OS):

6.2 Approvals
6.2.1 FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. -
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
