Introduction
Symbols
This manual uses the following symbols so that you can recognize important messages at
a glance. Please read it in its entirety.
It indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
It indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
minor or moderate injury.
It indicates a situation which, if not avoided, could result in product
damage as well as property damage.
It indicates tips for better understanding or useful information.
Always ground the frame ground terminal or the ground terminal when using
a switching regulator. KEYENCE recommends the use of separate power
supplies in this situation.
Installation location
Avoid locations such as the following when installing the CA-DC30E:
• Locations where the unit is exposed to direct sunlight.
• Locations where the surrounding air temperature range exceeds 0
to +50°C. Locations prone to rapid temperature changes.
• Locations with poor ventilation.
• Locations where relative humidity exceeds 35 to 85% RH. Locations
subject to condensation.
• Locations where corrosive or flammable gasses are present.
• Locations where there is excessive dust, salt, or iron powder.
• Locations where the unit is exposed to splashes of substances
such as water, oil, or chemical agents.
• Locations where the unit is subject to direct vibrations or
mechanical shocks.
• Locations where the unit may be influenced by radiation noise or
static electricity.
• Separate the unit and the cables as far as possible from
high-voltage lines and power lines. Interference from such lines
may result in nonstandard operation or device failure.
Handling
• Avoid touching the unit during or i mmediately after use, since it may
become hot at these times. Doing so may result in burn injuries.
• Do not operate the unit after disassembling or modifying it. Doing
CAUTION
NOTICE
so may result in fire, electrical shock, or device failure.
• Do not look directly at the LED for extended periods of time. Doing
so may cause harm to your eyes.
• When connecting and disconnecting cables, always switch off the
power to the unit and any other devices connected to it. Failure to do
so may result in damage to the unit or to other connected hardware.
• When the unit becomes excessively dirty, apply a weak, neutral
detergent to a cloth and wipe away the dir t, then wipe the unit dry with a
soft cloth. Do not use benzene, thinners, or alcohol to clean the unit.
Doing so may result in the discoloration or deformation of the unit case.

Continuing to operate the device despite such a problem may result
in fire, electrical shock, or device failure. Contact your nearest
KEYENCE sales office for repairs.
• When there is a foreign object or liquid such as water, oil, or a
chemical agent inside the device.
• When the device has been subject to excessive mechanical shock
or when the case has been damaged.
• When the controller emits smoke, an unusual smell, or a strange noise.
Precautions on Regulations and Standards
CE Marking
KEYENCE checked this product's conformance to the EMC Directive with the
simultaneous use of supported controllers. Therefore, see the user's manual of the
supported controller that you are using when using this product in the EU nations.
This is not to guarantee the conformity to the EMC Directive for the entire mechanical
system created by the customer.
Proper Operation
Compatible controllers
This expansion unit is dedicated for use with the XG-8000 Series (version 5.4.0000 or later;
excluding the XG-8800 and XG-8800L), XG-7000 Series (version 4.3.0000 or later), and CV-X
Series (version 3.1.0000 or later) controllers. Controllers from other series cannot be used.
Power
Do not use the device with anything other than a 24 VDC power supply.
Doing so may result in fire, electrical shock, or device failure.
LED elements are subject to a limited service lifetime. Because high
temperatures lead to degraded performance or damage, always use a
setting that generates the least amount compatible with application
NOTICE
requirements. Take precautions in order to avoid heat buildup, such
as the use of a cooling fan, installation using metal brackets, and
intermittent LED activation by means of external control input.
• Turn on the power to the CA-DC30E at about the same time as turning on
the power to the connected controller.
• If the light-on time of the connected illumination unit is too long compared
with the light-off time, an error occurs due to overload. In such a case,
adjust the trigger intervals or shutter speed on the controller so that the
light-off time of the unit is three times or longer than the light-on time.
Installation
When controlling the illumination from the controller, up to two CA-DC30E units (four
illumination units) can be connected. Remove the protection label from connector 2 on the
left side of the controller, and connect the CA-DC30E as shown in the following figure.
[For the XG-8000 Series] When connecting multiple units/when connecting
• The supplied attachment needs to be installed before installing the
Illumination expansion unit.
• Stop supplying the power to the CA-DC30E and to the controller
when connecting or disconnecting the CA-DC30E. Connecting or
disconnecting the CA-DC30E with the power being supplied may
cause damage to the controller or peripheral devices.
• Remove the protection label from the connector on the CA-DC30E
NOTICE
only when connecting the illumination expansion unit. Using the
CA-DC30E with the connector exposed may cause damage to the
CA-DC30E.
• Stop the supply of power to the illumination expansion unit before
connecting cables to and disconnecting cables from the illumination
connectors. Connecting cables to and disconnecting cables from the
illumination connectors while power is supplied may lead to
malfunctions of and damage to this unit and the illumination parts.

situation is four (eight individual lighting units), but, among these units, the
maximum number of CA-DC30E units that can be connected is two (four
individual lighting units).
When using the CA-DC30E and the CC-Link expansion unit at the same time
Connect the CC-Link expansion unit CA-NCL10E directly to the controller, and then
connect the CA-DC30E to the left side of the CC-Link expansion unit.
[For the XG-8000 Series]
The CC-Link expansion unit cannot be connected to the left side of
the CA-DC30E. Incorrect connections may damage the controller and
peripheral equipment.
