This manual describes the instructions, operating procedures and
precautions for using the CZ Series.
Before beginning operation, please read this manual carefully to get the
most from your CZ Series.
Keep this manual handy for future reference.
CZ Series
Instruction Manual
• The CZ Series is intended for the detection of target objects. Do
not use the CZ Series in a safety circuit to protect the human
body.
• The CZ Series does not have an explosion-proof structure. Do
not use it in a location where any flammable gases, liquid or
powder exist.

1. When several units are connected, the acceptable ambient temperature varies
depending on the conditions given below. To connect several units, be sure to
mount them to a DIN rail (metallic plate). Ensure that the output current is 20
mA max.
• When 3 to 10 units are connected: -10 to +50°C
• When 11 to 16 units are connected: -10 to +45°C

CONNECTING FIBER UNIT AND AMPLIFIER
1. Tilt the quick-release lever.
2. Push the single-core fiber to the transmitter side, and the multiplecore fiber to the receiver side as far as they will go (Approx. 14 mm of
the fiber will be inserted.).
* Inserting the fiber in the wrong side will decrease the original
detection performance. Be sure to check the markings on the
amplifier’s lateral side before inserting the fiber.
3. Raise the quick-release lever.

DETACHING EXPANSION UNITS FROM DIN RAIL
1. Detach the end units.
2. Slide the expansion unit that is to be detached. Detach it individually
from the DIN rail.
Note 1: When connecting several amplifiers, be sure to use a DIN rail
and the end units.
Note 2: Be sure to turn the power off before connecting/disconnecting
amplifiers.
Note 3: Do not remove the protective cover on the expansion connector
from the outermost unit.
Note 4: Do not detach several units from the DIN rail while they are
connected to each other.
Note 5: When several units are connected, confirm that the ambient
temperature is appropriate. (See “Specifications” on page 1.)

MOUNTING AMPLIFIER
■Mounting/detaching amplifier to/from DIN rail or
mounting bracket
Hook the claw on the rear side of the amplifier onto the DIN rail or the
mounting bracket, and then hook the front side claw to the rail or
bracket while pressing the amplifier forward. To detach the amplifier,
unhook the front claw by lifting the amplifier front side while pressing it
forward.

Detaching
■ Side mounting
Using the side holes of the supplied
mounting bracket, secure the amplifier
with the screws.
CONNECTING SEVERAL AMPLIFIERS
■ Mounting expansion units
Up to 16 expansion units (FS-T2, FS-M2, FS-V12, PS-T2) can be
mounted to the side of the CZ-V1 amplifier.
1. Remove the protective cover on the
side of the amplifier.
2. Mount expansion units to the DIN rail
one at a time.
3. Slide one expansion unit toward the main unit or another unit. Align
the front claws of the units and push them together until you hear a
click.
4. Secure the units together by pushing the end units (included in the
expansion unit) from both sides.
Align the claw.

HINTS ON CORRECT USE
Mounting amplifier
• If the amplifier cable is placed together with power lines or high
voltage lines in the same conduit, detection errors may occur due to
noise interference. Isolate the amplifier cable from these lines.
• If there are several colors in a single beam spot, the CZ-V1 determines the color by averaging those colors. Therefore, it may produce
an output even though the color is different from the registered color.
• To extend the cable length, use a cable with at least a 0.3 mm
nominal cross-section area. Limit the length of cable extension to
100 m or less. (To connect several units, contact Keyence for further
information.)
• When using a commercially available switching regulator, ground the
frame ground terminal and ground terminal.
• Do not use the CZ-V1 outdoors.
• Even when the same color is detected, the displayed value may vary
depending on the characteristics of each amplifier, the length of the
fiber cable and the location.
• When any of the external inputs (calibration, synchronization or bank
selection) are not used, cut the appropriate input cables (pink, purple,
orange/purple, yellow/purple or green/purple) at the root or connect
them to the “+” terminal of the power supply.
Mounting fiber unit
• A detection error may occur when the target is subjected to direct or
reflected light from high-frequency lighting equipment such as an
inverter fluorescent lamp. In such a case, apply a light shield plate or
change the location of the fiber unit.

To stabilize the sensor output at a border, mount the fiber unit parallel to
the border line as much as possible.

• When detecting a metal surface or glossy target
When a target has a metal or glossy surface, the calibration/differentiation may fail. To detect such a target, tilt the fiber unit by approximately
10 to 15 degrees.
