2.2 Applications of the device
The VMS volume measurement system is intended exclusively for use in industrial
environments. Radio interference may result when used in residential areas.
The VMS measures objects with virtually any shape on flat conveyor systems.
The VMS430 determines the length, width and height and can calculate the volume
of the smallest box that fully encloses the object (box volume) from these values.
The VMS530 determines the length, width and height.
The relevant system outputs this information via a data interface to a client-side computer
for further processing.

Safety
Risk of injury due to electrical current
The VMS volume measurement system is connected to line voltage (100 ... 264 V AC/
50 ... 60 Hz).
Only authorized personnel are allowed to perform electrical installation work.
The power supply must be disconnected when attaching and detaching electrical
connections.
Select and implement wire cross-sections and their correct fuse protection in
accordance with the applicable standards.
Observe the up-to-date safety regulations when working on electrical systems.
Damage to the eye by laser beam
The VMS430/530 volume measurement system works with a red, class-2 laser. When
exposed to the laser beam for longer periods of time, the retina of the eye may be
damaged.
The laser output aperture is the front screen of the VMD.
Caution: Improper use of the VMD can lead to hazardous radiation exposure and breach
of the laser class.
Fig. 1: VMD laser output aperture with and without optics cover
Never look directly into the beam path (similar to sunlight).
Never point the laser beam at people.
When mounting and adjusting the VMD, beware of reflections of the laser beam off
reflective surfaces.
Do not open the housing. (Opening does not interrupt the switching on of the laser diode
by the reading pulse).
Observe the applicable laser safety regulations according to the latest version of IEC
60825-1:2014.
It is not permitted to remove the protective cover that may be attached to the VMD head.
This could cause damage to the eye by laser beams.

Fig. 2: Warning label for laser protective cover
Laser power
The laser operates at a wavelength λ
= 650 nm (visible red light). The laser beam's output
power at the laser output aperture is 7.5 mW maximum (VMS530 IDS) or 10 mW
(VMS530 NSDS and VMS530 VDS).
The emitted radiation is harmless to human skin.
The VMD conforms to laser class 2 in accordance with IEC 60825-1:2014 (for
publication date, refer to laser warning label on device). This ensures compliance with
21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for the tolerance according to Laser Notice
No. 50 of June 24, 2007.
Regular maintenance is not necessary to ensure compliance with Laser Class 2.
Improper use of the VMD can lead to hazardous radiation exposure and breach of the
laser class.
During operation, the trigger is used to initially switch the 2 D laser scanner on with the
switch-on signal and switch it off again with the switch-off signal.
The 2 D laser scanner is switched on constantly during free-running output of measured
values.
Laser warning labels
A number of laser warning labels and laser warning symbols are to be found on the

3.2 Specific features
Non-contact, active measurement method
Measuring the length, width, and height * of
– separate cuboid objects
– separate objects with virtually any shape
– objects lying side-by-side
– objects that are not separate and are touching
Works with a very wide range of surface structures and on various flat conveyor systems
Flexible system configurations **
Calculation of the volume of the box that fully encloses the object (box volume)
* Depending on the system variant, see chapter 3.3.3 Object requirements
** For calibratable systems within the permitted framework
3.2.1 Overview of system variants
The VMS430/530 volume measurement system is available in three system variants. The
variants differ in terms of which object shapes can be measured at which conveyor speed
and how the objects have to be transported on the belt.
The approvals according to the Measuring Instruments Directive, the NTEP approval (USA),
and the Measurement Canada Approval (Canada) specified in chapter 10.4 Compliance
with EU Directives differ with respect to the minimum object dimensions and the
maximum conveying speed.
The three transport types separate, side-by-side and touching are supported:
Separate: The objects must be transported one behind the other at a defined minimum
distance, (see chapter 3.3.3 Object requirements) so that only ever one object is located
in the measuring area. The objects must not touch.

Product description
Side-by-side: The objects can be transported lying side-by-side on the belt. This means that
several objects can be located in the measuring area simultaneously. The objects must
not touch. You can find further information about the requirements on object height and
on the distances to be kept between the objects in chapter 3.3.3 Object requirements.

Touching: The objects can be transported one behind the other and side-by-side and also
touch at the corners and edges.
