2.4 Qualified Personnel
Qualified personnel have the specialist training, skills, and experience, as well as knowledge
of the relevant regulations and standards, to be able to perform tasks delegated to them and
to detect and to avoid any potential dangers independently.
Electricians have the specialist training, skills, and experience, as well as knowledge of the
relevant standards and provisions to be able to carry out work on electrical systems and to
detect and avoid any potential dangers independently.
2.5 Environmental Safety
Do not expose DIM320 and its accessories to
Extreme temperatures. The ambient temperature should not be lower or higher than
given in the specifications found in Technical Data page.
Dust, sand or other abrasive materials that will damage the glass covers of the cameras.
Such exposure can potentially cause material damage or bad measuring accuracy.
2.6 Laser Safety
CAUTION DIM320 is classified as laser class 1 in accordance with IEC 60825-
1:2007: Safety of laser products. Part 1: Equipment classification and
requirements; Edition 2.0.
DIM320 is safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation. The maximum
permissible exposure (MPE) cannot be exceeded. It is harmless to the eyes if it is used and
maintained in accordance with the instructions in this User Manual.
2.7 Electrical Safety
Avoid the following in order to avoid damage to electric or electronic components:
Do not immerse Freestyle or the tablet computer into water or other liquids.

Subject to change without notice
OP ERA T I NG I N S T RU C T IO NS | DIM320 Handheld Dimensioner
When Freestyle sensor and the tablet computer are transferred from a cold to a significantly
warmer environment, water may condense on some of the components inside the devices. To
avoid this, place Freestyle and the tablet computer in an airtight plastic bag before bringing it
from a cold to a significantly warmer environment. This allows the condensation to form on
the bag and not inside the device.
2.8 Mechanical Safety
Do not open the housing, or:
You can damage the device, which will affect the device's warranty.
The calibration will be lost. Each device passed an initial calibration before shipping. The
calibration process described in later chapter cannot replace it.
2.9 Safety during Work
DANGER
Danger of explosion or fire
Do not use DIM320:
In an explosive atmosphere.
In the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Before operating DIM320 in hazardous areas, contact the local safety authorities and
safety experts.
Damage to electric or electronic components:
Do not use DIM320 in vicinity of strong magnetic or electrical fields.
When scanning outdoors or in dirty surroundings, protect DIM320 from liquids and
humidity, but also from dust and dirt, which may damage the electronic components.
Do not use DIM320 near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, or other products
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
2.10 Transport
When carrying DIM320, take care not to drop it. Strong impact may damage the Freestyle
sensor and render it incapable of proper operation.
When shipping and transporting the System by rail, sea, air, or in a road vehicle, make sure to
use its original transport case and a suitable outer cardboard box for best protection against
shock and vibration.

3.3 How DIM320 Works
DIM320 enables anyone to capture pallets, objects and environments in a 3D view. To
accomplish this, Freestyle sensor has to be moved along or around the object of interest.
While Freestyle sensor is moved, three integrated sensors track what they capture, and send
this data to a tablet computer or notebook running DIM320 software via a USB connection.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION 3
13
Subject to change without notice
OP ERA T I NG I N S T RU C T IO NS | DIM320 Handheld Dimensioner
The pixels or points are then used to build up the colored 3D model of the captured object or
environment.
Once 3D data has been captured, SICK algorithm calculates the smallest fitting cube around
the points and provides the dimensions of this cube as length, width and height. The largest
of length and width is reported as length.
Using SICK DIM320 software and the PC camera, the operator can further capture the images
of barcodes and the object itself and associate them with the dimensions data captured
before.
The main features are:
High and specified accuracy.
High resolution: scan thin cables, ribs of small skeletons, etc.
Scanning range – Freestyle sensor: 0.5 m to 3m, up to 10m indoors. Minimum
recommended range 2m for full pallets.
Power supply via USB: no extra battery/power supply required in the sensor.
Intuitive handling: no need for long-winded preparation - just scan!
High mobility due to its small size and lightweight.
Photorealistic 3D color scans due to the integrated color camera.
3.3.1 Technical Details
The projector in Freestyle sensor projects a pattern of small infrared dots on the surface of
the object (as shown in figure below). The two infrared cameras take photos of this pattern.
The 3D coordinates are then calculated using a mathematical method called triangulation.
Fig. 3.4: Light pattern, made visible by a special camera.

3.3.2 Tracking Terminology
As the two infrared cameras take photos of this pattern, a color camera integrated in the
sensor takes a color photo.
This photo is enriched with the 3D coordinates of the points in the pattern, which were
detected in parallel, and is hereafter referred to as a frame.
While the Freestyle sensor is capturing, this procedure is repeated in high speed.
The data generated while capturing is transferred directly on a tablet or PC via cable and USB
port. Depending on the object or the scene, a laptop or tablet PC may be needed and carried
around while capturing.
DIM320 software detects clearly identifiable elements such as corners in the color picture.
Those elements are called features.
Following the features from frame to frame is called tracking. With tracking, it is possible to
reconstruct the movement of the sensor in space, and thereby putting all 3D points of the
individual frames in a common 3D context.
A set of frames resulting from one capturing sequence is called a scan.
Loop closing is necessary because small errors from frame to frame may accumulate over
time, resulting in gaps if you return to the same position.
Capturing an object or a scene several times will generate several scans. These scans have to
be spatially arranged to receive a coherent overall picture. This is called Place Scans, or
Registration. DIM320 software manages the conversion from frames to scans automatically.
The vast number of points generated in one or several scans of a scene can be arranged to a
so-called point cloud. A point cloud - out of one or of several registered scans - is more or less
a complete 3D picture of what was scanned with Freestyle sensor.
3.4 DIM320 Software
DIM320 system ships out with the tablet and required software:
to create and manage point cloud, named DIM320 Creator or simply DIM320, and
to calibrate the device in the field, named as Calibrate
Both program icons are available on the main screen. Clicking these icons executes the
respective pieces of software.

4 Commissioning
This chapter describes some important aspects of commissioning of DIM320.
4.1 Connecting Freestyle Sensor
Use the following steps to connect Freestyle sensor with tablet PC:
1. Start DIM320, which will start on Creator screen by default.
2. Plug sensor‘s USB cable into a USB3 port of tablet PC. The red status LED will light up. An
acoustic signal will be played if speakers of tablet PC are switched on.
3. Wait until the software detects the sensor. A loading message will be shown. Red status
light will turn into blue when sensor is ready to operate.
4.2 Acoustic Signals
If speakers of tablet PC are turned on, an acoustic signal will be played when
Sensor is connected to tablet PC
Sensor button is pressed
Tracking is lost
Sensor is disconnected from tablet PC.
Type of signal depends on signal settings of Windows®.
Sensor connect and disconnect signals correspond to the DEVICE CONNECT and DEVICE
DISCONNECT signals.
TRACKING IS LOST signal corresponds to the WARNING SIGNAL.
4.3 Freestyle Sensor Status LEDs
A blue and a red status LED are integrated in the Start/Stop button in
Freestyle sensor. They indicate the following statuses:
