Technical Specs

CAD models of the rc_visard can be downloaded from http://www.roboception.com/download. The CAD models
are provided as-is, with no guarantee of correctness. When a material property of aluminium is assigned (density
of 2.76

), the mass properties of the CAD model are within 5% of the product with respect to weight and center
of mass, and within 10% with respect to moment of inertia.
3.3 Environmental and operating conditions
The rc_visard is designed for industrial applications. Always respect the storage, transport, and operating envi-
ronmental conditions outlined in Table 3.3.1.
Table 3.3.1: Environmental conditions
rc_visard 65 / rc_visard 160
Storage/Transport temperature -25 °C to 70 °C
Operating temperature 0 °C to 50 °C
Relative humidity (non condensing) 20 % to 80 %
Vibration 5 g
Shock 50 g
Protection class IP54
Others
• Free from corrosive liquids or gases
• Free from explosive liquids or gases
• Free from powerful electromagnetic interference
The rc_visard is designed for an operating (surrounding environment) temperature of 0 °C to 50 °C and relies on
convective (passive) cooling. Unobstructed airflow, especially around the cooling fins, needs to be ensured during
use. The rc_visard should only be mounted using the provided mechanical mounting interface, and each part of
the housing must remain uncovered. A free space of at least 10 cm extending in all directions from the housing,
and sufficient air exchange with the environment is required to ensure adequate cooling. Cooling fins must be free
of dirt and other contamination.
The housing temperature depends on the processing load, sensor orientation, and surrounding environmental tem-
peratures. When the sensor’s exposed housing surfaces exceed 60°C, the LED at the front will turn from green to
red.
Warning: For hand-guided applications, a heat-insulated handle should be attached to the sensor to reduce
the risk of burn injuries due to skin exposure to surface temperatures exceeding 60°C.
3.4 Power-supply specifications
The rc_visard needs to be supplied by a DC voltage source. The rc_visard’s standard package doesn’t include a
DC power supply. The power supply contained in the connectivity kit may be used for initial setup. For permanent
installation, it is the customer’s responsibility to provide suitable DC power. The sensor is qualified as industrial
equipment Class A under EN55011. As such, each rc_visard must be connected to a separate power supply.
Connection to domestic grid power is only allowed through a power supply certified as EN55011 Class B.
