1.3 Installation Requirements
Avoid installation of the unit near direct sunlight or near bright lights. Direct sunlight and overhead lighting
causes void pixels and noise that will affect the system from performing a dimension.
Protect the iDimension Plus from static electricity and connect to a clean AC power outlet.
Install the iDimension Plus on a table or sturdy level work surface large enough for the base plate and scale.
Ensure the location provides a large enough work surface clear from other objects in the measurement area.
Measurement Area Background
The background of the measurement area should provide a color contrast between the objects being measured in the standard
dimensioning configuration. Platforms that create a glare from overhead lights will affect the measurements. Use a flat black
paint to the surface to reduce glare and provide contrast. Adjustment of the Zone of Interest to approximately a 3'' x 3'' size can
help eliminate noise created by glare from shiny surfaces. A depth only mode is available.
Scale Placement
If using a scale, place the scale on the base plate, centered on the marks (Figure 1-1). Secure the scale into position.
Continuous movement of the scale may provide inaccurate measurements. If the scale moves from the original position placed
after a zero height or reset function, results may be inaccurate.

5. Upon successful zero height calibration then select (Figure 3-1 on page 10).
6. Remove the calibration object, if used when the base has an uneven surface (roller balls or conveyor). The base is
selected within Step 1 on page 6.
If the zero height fails, ensure the dimensioning area is clear, the scale is level and repeat the zero height function.
If unable to perform a successful zero height, calibration may be required (Section 2.0 on page 4).
2.1.4 Scan Zone
The scan zone is the area the system uses to dimension an item. When configuring consider the area that needs to be clear
from all other objects and is used to identify motion detected by an operator placing an item on the platform. Before the unit will
attempt to perform a dimension, the scan area is required to be free from motion by the operator or objects near the device.
If the application has enabled flats, items than are less than 1.2'' (3 cm) in height, the scan zone is required to be as large in
length and width as the object.
1. Adjust the scan area by adjusting each of the four dots (touch points) on screen.
Figure 2-10. Scan Zone
2. Select when scan zone is configured.

3.0 Touchscreen Display
This section provides an overview of iDimension Plus USB touchscreen display indicators and controls instructions.
The USB touchscreen display combines the weight and dimensions from the iDimension Plus and the optional scale to be
visualized.
The touchscreen display provides the dimensions, a live displayed scale weight and operator access to system level controls.
3.1 Touch Screen Display Operation
A live image provides the user feedback on the placement of the item and conditions that may cause the system to be unable to
dimension, for example out of bounds. The blue line indicates the scan zone defined during initial setup.
The Power button for the USB display is located on the back of the unit. The USB operator display can be configured in
QubeVu Manager, see the iDimension Plus QubeVu Managers Guide (PN 195441).
Figure 3-1. Touchscreen Display
Indicators provide out of bounds and shape information for dimensioning. Function keys allow the iDimension Plus to be
managed via the touchscreen display.
3.1.1 Live Image
The weigh area provides a real-time view of the scanning area from the scanning head onto the USB display. The blue box
within Figure 3-1 is the Scan Zone which indicates the area the iDimension Plus will dimension (Section 8.1 on page 37).
3.1.2 Out of Bounds Indication
The Out of Bounds icon indicates the object is not outside of the Scan Zone. If the object is outside of the Scan Zone,
an exclamation point will appear with arrows indicating the direction the object is not within the Scan Zone.
If all four of the arrows within the Out of Bounds icon are lit , the object being dimensioned is not within the viewing area
or the item is too large. The arrows within the Out of Bounds icon display the direction which the item is outside of the Scan
Zone.

3.1.3 Shape Indication
The Shape Indication icon indicates the type of shape of the object being dimensioned.
• The Regular Shape icon indicates if the item is dimensioned as an regular shape and the dimensions are
displayed in 0.2'' or 0.5 cm increments.
• The Irregular Shape icon indicates if the item is dimensioned as an irregular shape and the dimensions are
displayed in 0.5'' or 0.5 cm increments.
3.1.4 Status Indication
Status indicates the current status of the iDimension Plus unit.
• The Ready status indicates the device is ready to perform a dimensioning transaction
• The Remove status indicates a successful dimensioning transaction is complete
• The Stopped status displays during restart or if the devices requires a restart from the Configuration menu
• The Wait status displays briefly while dimensioning or if user intervention is required; Select the Help function
key to see real time feedback of the system if the device displays the started, stopped or wait condition
3.1.5 Help Key
The Help function key displays the Issue Review menu.
The Help function key provides real time feedback to the operator of the unit. Provides step by step instructions on how to clear
conditions such as started, stopped, wait or remove condition with no object in the scan area.

3.1.6 Zero Height Key
The Zero Height function key allows the iDimension Plus to calculate the distance between the scan head and the base.
Zeroing the height after initial setup is only necessary if the distance between the scan head and the measuring platform
changes.
Example: When a scale is added or removed.
To perform the Zero Height function, refer to the following procedure:
1. Select the base type of the iDimension Plus.
Figure 3-3. Zero Height Base Selection Display
• If the base is a smooth top scale or no scale, only using the iDimension Plus base, select the scale type and
proceed to Step 3 on page 13
• If the base has an uneven surface (roller balls or conveyor), not using the iDimension Plus base, select the
then continue to Step 2
2. Place the calibration object on top of the scale then select .
