Installation
1. Mount the Camera(s) and GEVA in a location free from excessive shock, moisture, and
vibration. The GEVA can be used with a standard DIN rail mount. Mounting holes are lo-
cated on the base plate.
2. Connect a standard VGA Monitor to the Display connector.
3. Connect a mouse and keyboard, using either the PS/2 or USB connectors. Note: A PS2
mouse cannot be connected directly to the PS/2 connector, but does work correctly through
a PS/2 Y adapter cable.
4. Thread the lens onto each camera lens mount.
5. Attach camera cables to each camera and connect them to the camera ports on the GEVA.
See “Interface Specifications” and Figure 2, on page 17. If you ordered 2 cameras with the
GEVA, make sure you match the camera and port correctly. The IP Addresses are config-
ured for one port or the other and are not interchangeable.
6. Connect the sensor trigger inputs to the I/O Connector.
7. Mount the light source. Connect the strobe controller (if required) to the strobe output of the
I/O Connector.
8. Wire the required outputs from the I/O to the PLC or pass/reject mechanisms.
9. Connect network as required.
10. Connect Serial connections as required.
Before powering on the unit, take a couple of minutes to verify your hardware installation:
11. Verify all cable connections
12. Verify all electrical connections
13. Verify all components are securely mounted.
Complete the installation by applying power to the unit. The GEVA is powered from an external
supply (option A-PWR-NSII) that connects to the 3-pin D-Sub connector. The power require-
ments are:
• +24 Volts +/–10% at 60Watts maximum
When the GEVA has booted, the Genie cameras take a minute to acquire their network connec-
tion to the GEVA. There is a camera icon in the system tray (near the time). Message balloons may
appear saying devices are connected or disconnected. Hover the cursor over this camera icon to
see status on the number of cameras successfully configured and available. Run the VA-Genie
camera setup utility to verify the cameras are connected correctly.
