Safety Precautions

Note

Reference

Symbols

The following warning symbols are used to ensure safety and to
prevent human injury and/or damage to property when using the
system.

DANGER

Indicates that the operator is at risk of death or serious physical
injury if the system is improperly operated or this precaution is not
followed.

• Bundle cables with a spiral tubing material. Direct bundling will
concentrate the cable load on the bindings, which can result in
cable damage or short circuit.

• This unit and optional devices are precision components. Do not
subject them to vibration or impact.

Measures to be taken when an abnormality occurs

In the following cases, turn the power OFF immediately. Using the
unit in an abnormal condition may cause fire, electric shock, or
product malfunction. Contact your local KEYENCE office for repair.

• If water or debris enters the system

• If the system is dropped or the case is damaged

• If smoke or a burning smell emits from the system

Warning

Indicates that the operator is at risk of physical injury if the system is
improperly operated or this precaution is not followed.

Caution

Indicates that property could be damaged (product malfunction, etc.)
if the system is improperly operated or this precaution is not
followed.

Indicates important operating procedures that could be easily
overlooked.

Indicates further information that may be useful to know.

General Cautions

• Before starting work or before starting the system, confirm that all
the functions of the system are working properly.

• If any KEYENCE product fails, take full safety measures to prevent
damage before using the system again.

• If the system is used beyond published specifications or if the
system is modified, the functions and performance cannot be
guaranteed.

• Please note that when the system is used in combination with
other instruments, its functions and performance may be
degraded.

• Do not use this product for the purpose to protect a human body
or a part of human body.

• This product is not intended for use as explosion-proof product.
Do not use this product in hazardous location and/or potentially
explosive atmosphere.

• Do not subject this unit or connected devices to a sudden change
of temperature, as condensation may occur.

Warning

General

• Do not use with any power voltage other than 24 V DC. Doing so
may cause fire, electric shock, or product malfunction.

• Do not disassemble or modify this unit. Doing so may cause fire or
electric shock.

Operating environment and conditions

• To use the system properly and safely, avoid installing this unit in
the following locations: Doing so may cause fire, electric shock, or
product malfunction.
– Locations that contain moisture or dust, or that are poorly

ventilated.

– Locations where the system is exposed to direct sunlight or

temperature increases.
– Locations where there are flammable or corrosive gases.
– Locations where the unit may be directly subjected to vibration

or impact.
– Locations where water, oil or chemicals may splash onto the

unit.
– Locations where static electricity occurs.

• Keep this unit and cables away from high-tension cables or power
lines. Otherwise, noise may cause malfunction or accidents.

Caution

Usage

• Before making any connections/disconnections, be sure to turn off
the power of this unit and connected devices. Failure to do so may
result in malfunction of the system or connected devices.

• Do not turn the power off while you are programming. Otherwise,
all or part of the program settings may be lost.

• Do not block the ventilation holes. Otherwise, the inside
temperature may rise and malfunction may occur.

• Do not allow an excessive amount of sunlight or bright indoor light
to enter the camera for a long period of time. Doing so may cause
damage to the CCD inside the camera.

Note

Maintenance

• Do not clean with benzene, thinner, or alcohol.

• Doing so may cause discoloration or deformation of the unit. If the
unit has any dirt on it, wipe it off with a cloth moistened with a mild
detergent, then wipe with a dry cloth.

Precautions on Regulations and Standards

CE Marking

KEYENCE evaluates compliance with the requirements of the EMC
directive according to how products fulfill the below conditions.
KEYENCE has confirmed that the CV-5001 Series meets these
requirements. When the CV-5001 Series is used in EU nations, take
note of the following precautions.

EMC Directive (2004/108/EC)

• Applicable Standard EMI: EN61326-1, Class A

EMS: EN61326-1

• Use cables shorter than 30 m to connect the controller unit and its
external devices.

• When connecting a CC-Link unit CA-NCL10E, attach a ferrite core
(OP-84364, optional) within 300 mm on the CA-CNL10E side of
the CC-Link dedicated cable.

However, these precautions do not guarantee that the customer’s
entire machinery installation is compliant with the EMC Directive.
The customer is responsible for determining the compliance of the
overall machinery installation.

1 Expansion unit connector 2 (left side)

Use to connect the illumination expansion unit CADC21E or
CC-Link unit CA-NCL10E.

2 Parallel I/O connector

Use to connect the parallel input/output signals.

3 SD2 slot (upper), SD1 slot (lower)

Insert an SD card.
The lower slot (SD1) holds the included SD Card (512 MB or 1
GB) by factory default.

Installing the Controller Unit

Install the controller unit to DIN rail, or use the holes on the bottom of
the controller to secure it with screws.

Note

• Do not install the CV in a location with lots of dust or water vapor. The CV
does not have a mechanism to protect the CV from dust or water. Dust or
water entering the controller can cause damage to the CV.

• Turn off the power to the controller when connecting or removing an
expansion unit, a cable, or a terminal block. Connecting or removing the
camera expansion unit, the cable, or the the terminal block while the power
is being supplied may damage the controller or peripheral devices.

• When a expansion unit is not connected, place the connector protection
cover back on the controller. Using the controller with the connector
exposed may cause damage to the controller.

 Caution on Direction of Controller Mounting

• Install the controller in the direction indicated by the circle as
shown below. Do not install the controller in any other direction.

SD Card 1 must be inserted while the device is operating.

4 Modular connector

Use to connect the remote control console.

5 RGB output terminal (SVGA)

Use to connect to an external monitor.

6USB port

Use to connect to the USB cable.

7 Camera 2 connector

Use to connect camera 2.

8 Expansion unit connector 1 (right side, only for CV-5701/

5501)

Use to connect the camera expansion unit CV-E500.

9 RS-232C port

Use to connect to the RS-232C communication cable.

10Camera 1 connector

Use to connect camera 1.

11Ethernet connector

Use to connect the Ethernet cable.

12Terminal Block I/O connector

Use to connect the power supply (24 V DC) and the input/output
signals.

• For ventilation, keep the space free of objects for 50 mm or more
above the controller and 50 mm or more for both sides. Keep the
space free of objects for 90 mm or more in the front of the
connector panel to connect the cables safely.

• When two or more controllers are installed side by side, keep the
space free of objects for 50 mm or more between controllers, and
50 mm or more on top of both controllers.

Note

• Do not block the ventilation openings on the top and bottom of the
controller. If the vents are blocked, heat is accumulated inside the machine
and can cause system failure.

• If the temperature inside the control panel (temperature at the bottom of the
controller) exceeds the rating, use forced air-cooling or increase the free
space around the system to improve ventilation until the operating ambient
temperature drops below the rating.

13Grounding terminal

Use to connect the installation line.
