1Introduction

The REA VeriCube is a measurement device for the quality control of printed 2D

matrix codes and 1D barcodes. This is a stationary device, which has to be connected

to a PC via an Ethernet network. The application software along with the device

driver and the display of the test reports run on a computer running Microsoft

Windows.

In contrast to a scanner for barcodes and matrix codes, REA VeriCube is an optically

operating measurement device. Measurement devices are subject to a regular

adjustment and calibration (monitoring of testing equipment). Adjustment and

calibration (monitoring of testing equipment) can be performed by the operator and

as long as calibration is successful, there is no need to return the unit to the

manufacturer.

An overview of all Verifier variants and brochures can be found on our website:

https://www.rea-verifier.com

2.3 Optional accessories

Optional parts are only included if they have been ordered and are listed separately

on the delivery note. License keys are not necessary. In devices that are already in

operation, optional functions can be activated later by means of license keys.

Camera modules

There is a variety of different camera modules available. Depending on the range of

codesizes and module sizes that have to be measured, the appropriate camera

module must be selected. For UV and IR, a camera module set up for this purpose

must be used, because with this lighting option the focus position shifts relative to

that for red and white light.

At least one camera module must be specified when ordering.

3Transport, storage and operating conditions

The REA VeriCube can only be transported in the supplied

case or transport packaging.

Transport: The REA VeriCube is delivered in a case or in a cardboard

box with adequate foam padding. This package should be preserved

for possible transportation. The REA VeriCube should only be

transported in its original packaging, especially with parcel services

and similar means. In case, it is shipped without the original

packaging though, it should be packaged with good padding, so that

the device cannot move in the cardboard shipment box.

The glass pane must always be removed for transport and the plastic

pane must then be used as a protection. The glass cover must always be removed

prior to the transportation and then the plastic cover must be used as protection.

After transportation, the device must be warmed up to room temperature because

the optical parts can be fogged by the temperature change.

Storage: The device should always be stored in dry, dust-free rooms and at room

temperature. When not in use, the device should be covered or stored in the

transport packaging to protect it from dust deposits. For storage, remove the glass

pane and insert the plastic pane.

Dust on the optically effective surfaces leads to misalignment of the optical

measuring paths. This leads to incorrect measurement results.

Operation: Humidity, cold, heat and mechanical impacts incurred when the

equipment is dropped, can lead to a situation where the measuring chamber cover as

well as the mechanical and electronic parts can be damaged or destroyed.

If the device still provides measurement results with these damages, there is a high

risk that these results are incorrect or deviate too far from the correct values.

The device is delivered with a plastic cover and a top plate, which protect the

measuring chamber. The plastic cover serves as dust protection during the storage

and transportation of the REA VeriCube. The glass plate serves as a top plate in the

event that the codes to be measured need to be placed on the surface. The glass top

plate must always be removed prior to the transportation and the plastic cover used

as protection.

REA VeriCube Operating Manual Version 2.16 –11/2020 Page 15 of 119

4.2 Additional safety instructions for REA VeriCube UV

In addition to the safety instructions in chapter 4.1General safety the following must

be observed when operating the REA VeriCube UV:

Attention! The device works with UV radiation. It must only be used with

appropriate protective measures in accordance with EU Directive 2006/25/EC

In countries outside the EU, it is obligatory to comply with the occupational

safety regulations that are in force in that country.

The warning sign "UV radiation”

must not be removed from the device or concealed or made

unrecognisable in any other way.

UV protective glasses are supplied with the unit. It is recommended that these

glasses be put on before the installation or commissioning process and before each

power-up.

The unit switches on the UV-LED's during continuous operation. The unit should

therefore only be installed in a room where it is not possible to enter without taking

protective measures (wearing UV glasses).

With REA VeriCube UV the irradiation values according to EN 62471:2008 for the skin

directly on the device are exceeded. For longer-term work at the radiation source it is

therefore recommended to wear opaque clothing and gloves. During operation,

please always cover the field of view with the black plate or black cover cloth after

the object has been positioned.

The use of the device is the sole responsibility of the user. The

manufacturer REA Elektronik GmbH is not liable for any damages

caused by the use of the device. This exclusion of liability is only limited

by legal regulations that apply to contracts or transactions between

companies (BtB).

The manufacturer REA Elektronik GmbH has designed this product, REA

VeriCube with UV LED's 365nm, exclusively for commercial use with

appropriate protective devices. Use in private areas and / or without

protective equipment is NOT intended use. The liability for damage

resulting from such improper use, lies exclusively with the user.

REA VeriCube Operating Manual Version 2.16 –11/2020 Page 16 of 119

4.3 Electrical hazards

Warning:

When mains plug is unplugged or a main switch is switched off

during cleaning, maintenance or repair work, appropriate measures

must be taken to prevent unauthorized re-establishment of the mains

connection. This applies to the power supply. The verifier itself falls

under the category of Low Voltage.

REA VeriCube Operating Manual Version 2.16 –11/2020 Page 17 of 119

5REA VeriCube Version

5.1 REA VeriCube Standard

The REA VeriCube, in the standard design, has 13 screws on the upper side. With the

exception of any two screws, all the others can be removed.

The plate is either in blue or silver in color. The screws have Torx T10 heads.

The screws are there to close the threaded holes. The threaded holes are provided

for fastening the used fixtures when, for example, auxiliaries and other measurement

aids must be affixed to the device. The advantage of this is that frequently made

measurements of identical products can be performed by the device without the

positioning aided by the live image function.

5.2 REA VeriCube Pharma

The REA VeriCube in the Pharma design has a closed plate at the top without screw

holes.

This design is intended for use in areas in which it must be possible to clean the

surface easily and quickly.

REA VeriCube Operating Manual Version 2.16 –11/2020 Page 18 of 119

5.3 REA VeriCube UV

The REA VeriCube UV has an ultraviolet illumination as an alternative to the red light

illumination with 660 nm. For this alternative illumination there are arranged 16 UV-

LEDs with a wavelength of 365 nm in the unit.

This applies to VeriCube devices with UV illumination

Devices can be identified by a warning sign:

Please read this manual completely before you start using the device!

Please pay particular attention to the safety instructions for the REA

VeriCube UV in chapter 4.1General safety + 4.2Additional safety

instructions for REA VeriCube UV

With REA VeriCube UV the irradiation values according to EN 62471:2008 for the skin

directly on the device are exceeded. For longer-term work at the radiation source it is

therefore recommended to wear opaque clothing and gloves. During operation,

please always cover the field of view with the black plate or black cover cloth after

the object has been positioned.

The Level correction when adjusting this type of test instrument differs from the

standard procedure. The greyscale card must be used here instead of the luminance

card. Please refer to the note in chapter Level adjustment procedure for this type of

verifier.

Attention should be paid to the fact, that upon UV illumination, dirt will get visible,

that was invisible with natural light before, like for example thin layers of fat,

fingerprints etc. Extremely precise attention to cleanliness is a prerequisite

for reproducible measurements.

It is recommended to always wear gloves (e.g. Monochrom article no.: 5241L) when

handling the device in order to avoid contamination of the verifier, the calibration /

adjustment cards and the measuring objects.

For the reflectance adjustment the blue component of the UV-LED light is used,

which is within the sensitivity range of the camera. An absolute reference to national

standards is not established in this case, but only a reference to the reflectance

values measured with red light as a reference. This adjustment is used to obtain

repeatable, stable measurement results that refer to a defined standard.

The typical measurement objects are markings with dyes / inks / printing colors that

are invisible or completely transparent in visible light. In UV light, these markings

generate fluorescence in the visible range of the light spectrum. This light, which is

generated by fluorescence is evaluated as if it were a reflected light from the surface.

Due to the adjustment, described above, the UV light source has an always identical

intensity. Thus, the fluorescence is evaluated with stable lighting values. The

evaluation must be in accordance with ISO/IEC TR 29158 (DPM).

Attention:

The focusing plane of the camera module in UV is shifted in relation to

that in red light. If the REA VeriCube UV is to be used for measurements

with red light, it is essential that a suitable camera module is then used

for red light.

5.4 REA VeriCube IR

The REA VeriCube IR has an infrared illumination as an alternative to the red light

illumination with 660 nm.

REA has two different versions for infrared lighting in its portfolio.

The REA VeriCube IR can be purchased as a variant with 855 nm or with 945 nm.

With these types of device, IR is always the alternative lighting to red light. For this

alternative lighting, the device contains 16 IR LEDs with a wavelength of 855 nm or

945 nm.

Handling, adjustment and calibration are the same with the REA VeriCube IR as with

the standard device. However, it should be noted that due to unavoidable reflections

through the glass pane, a warning appears during Level correction: "Level correction

finished with a warning. Warning: the calibration card seems dirty. Please clean it.

However, on this occasion the adjustment result has been accepted. [0x20081285].“

This warning can be noted in this case, but work can still continue normally.

The reflections can only be prevented if both the adjustment and the measurements

afterwards are performed without the glass pane. This is also permitted. However, it

must be taken into account that the mirror in the device and the camera lens will

then become contaminated by dust more quickly and therefore have to be cleaned

regularly. As long as the device is not in operation it should be protected against

dust.

Attention:

The focusing plane of the camera module with IR lighting is shifted in

relation to that in red light. If the REA VeriCube IR is to be used for

measurements with red light, it is essential that a suitable camera module

is then used for red light.

6.1 Power supply

The power for the VeriCube is supplied via a network cable connected to the device.

This type of power supply is designated as Power over Ethernet (PoE) (power supply

over a network cable). The delivered power supply unit provides power to a

connected device only when the device is designed for a power over Ethernet supply.

It is not recommended to connect a non PoE-enabled power supply device to the OUT

connection of the power supply unit. A second cable or additional separate power

supply unit is not necessary. The delivered network cables are, apart from the

increased flexibility, standard off-the-shelf network cables.
