Getting Started
The MCS640 camera is configured to operate under certain conditions according to
user-defined specifications. As such, the camera is assembled, calibrated, and tested at the
LumaSense Factory and is delivered with the necessary components to create a fully-
operational system.
Assemble the system by connecting the cables as shown on the System Configuration and
Wiring drawing supplied with the system.
3.1 Making the Connections
In order for the MCS640 system to operate correctly, the supplied hardware must be
properly attached to the computer and power supplied to the various parts of the system.
Typically, the system is set up by either connecting the camera to a network device
(switch) or by connecting the camera directly to a dedicated computer using a cross-over
Ethernet cable.
3.1.1 Connecting Camera to a Dedicated Com-
puter
Connecting the MCs640 to a Computer using a Cross-over Cable
1. Connect one end of the RJ45 (Ethernet) Cross-over cable to the Ethernet port on
the camera and the other end to the computer. The MCS640 requires a Gigabit
Ethernet network adapter (see the software manual for a list of supported adapt-
ers). All cabling should be Cat5e or Cat 6.
2. Connect the camera power supply to the camera.
3. Turn on the computer to connect the camera to the computer.
4. Consult the software manual for setup and configuration instructions necessary to
make the system operational.
Because the MCS640 system
is designed for specific ap-
plication situations, it is im-
perative that you configure
your system in accordance
with the electrical diagrams
supplied with your system.
