3 Installation
3.1 Hardware
►Connect device to the voltage supply.
►Connect device to the Ethernet interface of the PC using the network cable.

2: Device
3: Ethernet cable
4: PC
You will find further information about the electrical connection and the exact pin configuration in
the operating manual.
3.1.1 Measures to avoid multiple reections
When measuring the following objects, multiple reflections may occur:
●Very shiny surfaces
●Inner walls of hollow bodies (e.g. boxes)
●Surfaces at shorts distances to the device (e.g. walls)
Multiple reflections increase the time of flight of the light and thereby make the distance to the device
seem longer.
121: Multiple reflections on
a surface at a short
distance.
The seeming distance is
shown in blue.
2: Correct installation
►Install the device at a sufficient distance to surfaces.
►Do not put the device on a flat surface (e.g. table) for presentation purposes.

4.1 Find sensor
With this function, it is possible to search for the connected devices or to establish a manual connection
with a connected device.
►Ensure that the device and the PC are ready for operation and that there is an Ethernet connection.
> Without Ethernet connection, the functions of the device cannot be accessed.
The following ports must be open (if necessary, adjust the settings of the firewall):
●UDP: 3321
●TCP / HTTP: 80 and 8080
●TCP: 50010
The device can only be accessed with one PC at a time. Access with several end devices (e.g. PC)
is not supported.
4.1.1 Connect device automatically
►Click on .
> The ifm Vision Assistant searches for connected devices via Ethernet.
> All devices found are shown in a list for selection.
►Click on the button of the found device in order to establish connection.
If the ifm Vision Assistant does not find a device automatically:
●Check if the device is correctly connected and ready for operation and click on [Search
completed] to start a new search.
