Important Instructions
Precautions on use
The power of this product and instruments connected to this product must be turned off when
the cable is to be installed or removed. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock or a
product damage.
Use this product in the correct supply voltage. Failure to do so may cause a product damage.
For instructions
Do not turn OFF the power while setting the items or saving the settings. Otherwise, all or
part of the setting data may be lost.
Do not let water, dust or oil stick to the camera/light of the sensor. Failure to do so may cause
a malfunction.
The enclosure rating of the monitor (IV-M30) is IP40. This is not designed for water proof so be
careful to operate it.
When this product becomes dirty, do not rub it with a wet cloth, benzene, thinner, or alcohol.
Doing so may change the color or shape of the unit.
If the unit is heavily contaminated, disconnect all the cables including the power supply cable,
wipe off the dirt with a cloth soaked with mild detergent, and then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
For an LCD panel
Do not press the touch panel with the tip of your nail or anything that has a sharp tip such as
a pen or a screwdriver. Doing so may cause damage.
Do not apply shock to the touch panel or press it with excessive force. Doing so may cause
damage.
The LCD panel may have some dots that are always lit (bright dots) or ones that are always
unlit (black dots). This phenomenon is not a problem.
Due to the unique characteristics of an LCD, displaying the same image for a long time may
cause an afterimage.
For USB memory
Use products recommended by KEYENCE.
A USB memory device with a security function cannot be used.
Unplug the USB memory when turning on or off the power of IV Series.
Do not remove the USB memory while the USB is being written on. Otherwise, all or part of
the setting data may be lost or it may cause a damage.
For external master image registration
When the external master image registration is used frequently, set [Write ROM when using “Ext.
Master Save”?] of the input option to [No] for nonvolatile memory protection of the internal
sensor. When the option is set to [Yes], the nonvolatile memory is guaranteed to write for
100,000 times.
For automatic focus function
Automatic focus function is used for adjusting the focusing position at the time of installation.
This will not activate during the operation.
Focusing position can be registered in each program. The program congurations are guaranteed
to switch for 100,000 times. If the focusing position does not need to change for each program,
set [Auto Focus Adj Pos] to [Common] for extending the life-span.
Do not apply shock or vibration during the focusing position adjustment. Failure to do so may
cause a product damage.
