Installation Steps – Quick Guide 1. VARIO is factory set and delivered with a 35˚ beam width. To alter to 10˚, simply remove interchangeabIe holographic diffuser (IHD). See page 3 for detailed instructions To alter to 60˚, replace with other IHD supplied. 2. Mount Illuminator 3. Connect Illuminator to low voltage input 12/24V AC/DC 4.
Factory Default Set-Up: 35˚ Beam Angle Max 100% Power Telemetry Input - closed Photocell sensitivity - MID Status LEDs – ON Programming function will auto-disable after 4 weeks VARIO Complete Set up and Installation Step 1. Select different beam angle – if required VARIO is factory set and delivered with a 35˚ beam width angle. To alter to 10˚, simply remove interchangeabIe holographic diffuser (IHD) lens. To alter to 60˚, replace with other IHD lens supplied.
Step 2. Mounting Illuminator VARIO is delivered as standard with bracket at the bottom of the unit. This can be moved to top the of unit if required. See page 6 for optional brackets TARGET 1 Position illuminator adjacent to camera and point towards scene (Optional night set-up for optimum image performance) 2 Adjust vertical position of lamp to ensure full field of view illuminated 3 Tighten all fixings Step 3 & 4.
VARIO Remote Controller (VRC) Optional Accessory Full instructions provided with VRC when supplied Photocell Adjust To select 3 different photocell sensitivity levels to accommodate different operational requirements. Power Select Quick and easy selection of 5 accurately defined power settings, 1=20%, 2=40%, 3=60%, 4=80% 5=100%. Provides exact amount of light required for the scene requirements.
Feedback system VARIO LED Status Indicators (in Programming Mode) SOLID GREEN status LED indicates unit has power applied. FLASHING GREEN status LED indicates a problem with the remote control IR receiver. The maximum remote operating distance is 8m (26ft). FLASHING AMBER status LED indicates unit is in programming mode.

VARIO Troubleshoot Ensure all tests are undertaken by a qualified, trained engineer. Ensure safe working practices are followed at all times. Step 1: Basics • Check polarity of Lamp connection red=+ve, black=-ve • Ensure power is 12-24V AC or DC • Ensure telemetry wires are shorted out or closed contact input (zero volt) is applied • Check photocell is working. Cover photocell fully, light should turn on. It is sometimes difficult to see Infra-Red lamps working in high brightness conditions.
Step 3: Set up camera, lens, and illumination • Check model number to Raytec performance specification to ensure required distance is achievable; - Check unit is set to max power - Check orientation of unit and ensure it is pointing in correct direction - Check angle of unit (Holographic lens) – Too narrow may cause hot spots and the aperture of the camera lens to close down. Too wide and there may be insufficient light on scene and light going where it is not needed.
• Check unit is responding to remote. If not.. - Programming may be disabled. Turn power off/on to ensure unit returns to programming mode. - Status indicators may be turned off. Turn on with remote. This can be done even if programming has been disabled - In extreme sunlight conditions, distance between remote and unit may need to be reduced - Battery failure. Check battery on remote (CR2025). Test 3 volt battery, replace if necessary. Ensure battery has clean contacts.
