Distance measurement

13 Distance measurement
The Wöhler VIS 700 can measure the distance between two points in the field of view of the camera head. This provides the user with information about the diameter, distance and size of the inspected objects.
NOTE! The distance measurement can only be carried out if the camera head Ø 40 mm is connected.

NOTE! For a precise measurement result, use a plastic dome on the camera head when measuring distance.

NOTE! For an exact measurement result ensure that the camera dome is clean. The most precise results for distance measurement are obtained in the centre of the image. For an accurate measurement, move the camera head as close as possible to the object to be measured, see Measuring accuracy..

When the “Distance measurement” icon is displayed, tap the starting point of the distance to be measured.
As soon as the camera has focused on the point and the distance to the camera lens is displayed, tap on the end point of the distance to be measured.
The distance between the two points is then displayed.
NOTE! A warning triangle under the measured distance means that the camera head has not been recalibrated after the last reset of the calibration value. In this case, first calibrate the camera head, cf. chapter 13.6.

39

Distance measurement

NOTE! The start and end points of the measurement can be moved at any time by dragging and dropping in the screen. The camera then recalculates the points.

If the displayed distance is not plausible, you can move the start and end points again. To do this, simply tap the end point again.
NOTE! Only 2 points can be marked at the same time.

13.5 Calibration of the camera head

Since the different camera heads as well as the glass and plastic domes have different optical properties, for an optical distance measurement it is necessary to calibrate the camera head after a change. The camera stores this calibration until the user resets or overwrites it.
For calibration, measure a reference value as accurately as possible. A distance of about 10 cm from the camera lens to the object is suitable for the calibration measurement. The object should be visible in the centre of the camera display. The measuring points should not be on the edge of the display.

Fig. 45: Calibration with calibration template

NOTE! Calibration is easy to perform using the calibration template. This template is in the internal memory of the camera. As soon as a USB stick is inserted into the monitor, the calibration template is automatically copied to the USB stick.
Print out the template on a white paper. Bend the paper upwards by 90° at the fold. Place the camera head on the marked spot
and align the black calibration bar in the center of the picture. Calibrate the camera head as follows:

Tap the icons “System menu” > “Settings
menu” > Distance measurement The calibration procedure is now shown in the display.

NOTE! The reference object can be an object that you always have with you, for example a rule, a USB stick, etc.

When using the calibration template, the pre-set measuring segment can remain 5 cm.
Tap on ,,Start calibration” (3).

Touch the start and end points of the measuring distance in the screen and correct the position of the point by drag & drop if necessary.

regular maintenance. The following maintenance works can be done by the user himself.

17.2

Replacing the dome of the camera head

NOTE! The camera head is supplied protected by a plastic dome, which can be replaced if necessary, for example, if it becomes scratched. It is optional to fit this camera head with a glass dome for use in dry working environments. Attention: Only use the glass dome in dry areas. If the glass breaks in the sewage pipe, the camera head would be destroyed immediately.

Fig. 66: Fitting the camera dome
17.3 Camera head 17.4 Monitor 17.5 Cleaning the cable

Before replacing the dome, the thread of the new dome must be sparingly greased with silicone grease. When replacing the dome, make sure that no grease gets into the camera head and especially its mechanical components.
When fitting the replacement dome, make sure you engage all of the thread to ensure it is properly tightened. Otherwise, it cannot be guaranteed that the camera head is properly sealed, and malfunctions can occur as a result of water and dirt ingress.
Only use soft, damp cloth to clean the lens. Never use any cleanser.
Clean the monitor using a soft cloth.
Clean the cable with a damp cloth or spray it with water.
Attention! Make sure that no water gets into the connectors or gets to the monitor.
