Warning and Caution Summary
• Viewing the Vision MINI Xi’s LED output with optical instruments such as magnifiers, eye
loupes, or microscopes within a distance of 100 mm could cause serious eye injury.
• Maximum LED output: .564 mW; Wavelength: 470 nm; 525 nm; 617 nm.
• Location of the Vision MINI Xi’s LED aperture window:
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
IMPORTANT: The Vision MINI Xi is intended for connection to a UL-listed direct plug-in power
unit marked Class II and rated 24 VDC at 5 Watts, or greater if using electrical accessories.
European models must use a similarly rated Class I or Class II power supply that is certified to
comply with standard for safety EN 60950.
WARNING: Baseplate temperature may exceed 70° C at maximum operating
temperature and may cause burns. Use caution when handling.

Product Summary
The Vision MINI Xi Smart Camera is designed for reliable vision
performance in embedded identification and inspection applications. As
the world’s smallest fully-integrated vision system, the Vision MINI Xi’s
compact size and wide angle optics provide the best performance
available for machine vision tasks at close range.
The Vision MINI Xi allows OEM design engineers to implement
inspection, color matching, symbol decoding, OCR, and more, in a single
compact solution. The camera’s small form factor allows flexible
positioning in tight spaces. The lightweight and durable magnesium alloy
case weighs less than 2 ounces.
Pressing the AutoVISION button at the back of the Vision MINI Xi enables
real time dynamic autofocus. When an object is centered in the field of view
and the AutoVISION button is pressed, the camera automatically adjusts
focal distance and sets internal parameters to optimize image captures.
AutoVISION software, designed for use with the Vision MINI Xi, provides
an intuitive interface, step-by-step configuration, and a library of presets
that allow easy setup and deployment. For more complex vision
applications,
the system can be upgraded from AutoVISION to Visionscape.
Features and Benefits
• World’s smallest fully functional vision system
• Ethernet communications
• OEM-ready for easy integration
• Integrated lighting and autofocus lens
• Flexible programming options for custom applications
• AutoVISION button for automatic targeting, calibration, and triggering
• Simplified configuration with AutoVISION software
