Mounting the Sensor
Ground (functional ground) the drain cable
(FG) of the power I/O cable.
Mount and insulate the sensor. Use the
attached mounting adapter to insulate.
Sensor case has been grounded. If the sensor
is not insulated, the electric potential and
noises may cause a damage or malfunction.
Do not place the sensor in the environment
that exceeds the limit of sensor's resistance
to the environment, or environment that
propagates the vibration directly to the
sensor. Those may cause a damage or
malfunction.
Manual focus type needs to adjust the focusing
position after installed. Reserve the enough
space to adjust and install it.
At the time of installation, it is better to enable
the position or direction adjustment of the
sensor by installing the adjustment system at
the sensor mounting area.
View and optical axis have individual differences.
Adjust the position by checking the actual image
at the time of installation.
Place the sensor where no ambient light has
effect. Ambient light includes solar light, lights of
other devices, and photoelectric sensors. Also,
be careful when the light intensity of the ambient
light changes. Use the shield to protect when the
location cannot be changed.
Place the sensor where no object can block out
the internal light or the view of the sensor.
Detection may become unstable due to the
lights if multiple sensors are placed nearby each
other. Delay the timing of external trigger or use
the shield to avoid interference.
Checking the view and installed
distance
For IV Series, installed distance between the view
and object is different depending on the type of the
sensor. Check the type of the sensor to be used
and its view, and place it in the proper distance.
