1. Introduction
The MDI 1000 CMOS two-dimensional (2D) imager consists of the MSI 1000 camera module
(referred to as the “camera module”) and the DBM 1000 decoder board developed specifically
for the MDI 1000 (referred to as the “decoder board”). This guide provides instructions for
installing the camera module and the decoder board.
2. Integration Parameters
2.1. Exit Window Materials
For best optical quality, use an acrylic material (cast or extruded) for the exit window.
Select a high-quality achromatic acrylic material with a smooth, flat surface and no
scratches or dents. The acrylic material should be 1 mm thick and have an anti-reflective
(AR) coating applied to both sides of the exit window.
You should also apply an anti-scratch coating to the surface of the exit window to protect
it from scratches during operation. Coated acrylic plates are readily available. Such a
coating greatly enhances anti-scratch properties without degrading the optical
characteristics of the acrylic material.
To protect the exit window from dust, stains, and scratches during assembly, a protective
sheet was attached. This should be removed before operation. After removing the
protective sheet, use an ion-blower or other method to remove any dust that may have
been attracted by static electricity.
Recommended acrylic material:
Nitto Jushi Kogyo Co., Ltd. “Clarex—Precision Thin Sheet”
MITSUBISHI RAYON CO., LTD. “Acrylite”

2.2. Exit Window Design
The exit window must be positioned to accommodate limitations of distance and
inclination, as well as the range of the window itself. Design the layout within the range
specified in the following diagram and associated table.
Figure 1: Exit window design
L (mm) 3 4 5 6 7 9 12
A (mm) >25 >27 >29 >30 >32 >34 >38
Yt (mm) >9 >10 >11 >12 >13 >14 >15
Yb (mm) >7 >8 >8 >8 >9 >9 >10
θcw (deg) >19° >23° >25° >27° >28° >29° >29°
θccw (deg) >19° >23° >25° >27° >28° >29° >29°
* When installing the exit window close to the scan engine, use the following range (including the tolerance).
Ｌ=1.5 ±0.5, θcw and θccw ＜2°(deg)
*The maximum exit window inclination is up to 40 degrees in both directions, θcw and θccw.
During the design phase, check for image eclipse caused by insufficient exit window size and
LED illumination entering the central part, due to improper angle settings. The check can be
done by acquiring images from the camera module.

3. Installation
When installing a camera module, use the tapping screw holes on the bottom surface. Do not
over-tighten the screw. Only the bottom surface of the camera module should be attached to a
chassis for installation. Keep enough clearance to avoid damage to the camera module in case
the host instrument is dropped and damaged. The anti-shock capabilities of the camera module
apply only when acceleration is applied via the bottom surface. In case of direct shock, the
camera module will almost certainly be damaged, since it consists of precise optical elements.
Use the mounting hole with screw cramp to install the decoder board. The size of the screw
head must not exceed the diameter of the mounting land (φ3.6).
Installation conditions—camera module side
Recommended screw: M2 B tight
Tightening torque: up to 20 N_cm
The screwing depth should be within 4.5 mm from the contact surface of the camera
module.
Installation conditions—decoder board side
Recommended screw: M1.7 (Do not use a countersunk screw)
Tightening torque: 20N_cm or less

About FPC:
•When producing the FPC, punch out the FPCs from the conductor side.
•Use polyimide as the material of the reinforcing board.
•Use thermoset adhesive.

5. Handling Requirements
Use anti-static measures such as a grounding strap before handling the scan engine in order to
avoid damage to the electronic components from electrostatic discharge. Hold the scan engine
only by the metal case. Do not touch the circuit board or the front side of the scan engine when
handling it. Do not touch the electronic elements or the terminals of the circuit board.
Installation in a clean environment is recommended in order to protect the imaging lens from
dust. Operators should wear a mask to avoid contaminating the optical elements.
