Laser emission stop input

Point

When laser emission stop input is set as an external input, laser emission can be stopped by turning on the external input (2 ms or more). Laser emission stays stopped while the external input is on. The laser is emitted within 3 ms after the external input is turned off. For the conditions of detection outputs and analog outputs during laser emission stop input, refer to the User's Manual.

product. Do not use this product in a hazardous location and/ or potentially explosive atmosphere.

• Provide sufficient safety measures to prevent various damage in the event this product fails.

• When using this product in combination with other devices, there may be cases when the functions and performance cannot be achieved because of the working conditions or environment, etc. Always review the combination carefully before starting use.

• Do not apply sudden temperature changes on any device including the peripheral devices. Condensation could cause device damage.

Troubleshooting

Turn the power OFF immediately in the following cases. Continuing use in an abnormal state can cause damage.

WARNING

• When water or foreign matter enters the product body.

• When the product has been dropped or the case damaged.

• When smoke or abnormal odors are emitted from the product.

Precautions for Use

• Use this product with the correct power voltage. Failure to do

NOTICE

so could result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not disassembly or modify this product. Failure to observe this could result in fire or electric shock.

• Always turn off the power of the main unit and any device connected to the main unit before connecting or disconnecting a cable.

• Do not turn the power off while setting the items. Doing so could result in the lost of some or all setting data.

 Installation Environment To ensure correct and safe use of this product, do not install it in

the following type of environment. Failure to observe this could result in faults.

• Location subject to high levels of moisture or dust, or which is poorly ventilated

• Location subject to high temperatures, such as where product is subject to direct sunlight

• Location subject to corrosive gases or flammable gases

• Location directly subject to vibration or impact

• Location which may be subject to water, oil or chemical spray

• Location where static electric is easily generated

 Effect of Contaminants

• Contaminants such as dirt, dust, water or oil may prevent a correct measurement from being made.

• Spray any contaminants off the transmitter and receiver sections with clean air. If heavily contaminated, wipe the sections off with a soft cloth dampened with alcohol.

• Spray any contaminants off the measurement target with clean air, or wipe them off.

• If contaminants are suspended in the measurement range, install a protective cover, or perform air purging, etc.

 Measures for Noise When installing this product near a source of noise such as a

power cable or high voltage cable, it could malfunction or fail because of the noise. Provide counter measures for noise such as installing a noise filter, laying the cables in a separate conduit, or insulating the amplifier unit or sensor head.

 Warming Up Wait at least 30 minutes after turning the power on before

starting use. The circuit will be unstable immediately after the power is turned on so the display value may gradually fluctuate.

 Power On Reset Once the power is turned on, it will take approx. 2 seconds for the measurement to start. The judgment output will be output after the response time (average number of times X sampling rate) has elapsed.

• This product uses a semiconductor laser for the light source.

• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Mounting the Amplifier

 DIN rail mount type, main unit (IB-1000)

Align the claw at the bottom of the main body with the DIN rail. While pushing the main body in the direction of the arrow (1), tilt the amplifier in the direction of the arrow (2).

To remove the amplifier, raise the main body in the direction of the arrow (3) while pushing it in the direction of the arrow (1).

 DIN rail mount type, expansion unit (IB-1050)

Expansion units must be connected to the main unit before they can be used. Up to 3 expansion units can be connected to one main unit.

• When connecting multiple amplifiers (expansion units), first check to make sure that the power is turned off to all of the main and expansion units. Installing an expansion unit with power on may damage this device.

• Push the amplifiers (expansion units) as far as possible into the main unit. If they are connected at an angle or not inserted securely, this device could get damaged.

• When connecting the expansion units, make sure to initialize the expansion units and set the output polarity. (1)When turning on the amplifier for the first time after con-

necting the sensor head please reference

"Operation When the Power Is Turned On for the First Time" (Page 6)

(2)When initializing the unit please reference

"Initial Reset (Initialize)" (Page 8)

• Expansion units with different settings for output polarity (such as an NPN output expansion unit to a PNP output main unit) cannot be connected together.

• Expansion units using DIN rail mount cannot be connected to a panel mount style main unit.

1 Remove the expansion protective cover from a IB-1000 (main unit).

(1)

2 Install the amplifiers (expansion units) onto a DIN rail.

Do the same as instructed under "DIN rail mount type, main unit."

3 Push the expansion unit into the main unit connector until a

clicking sound can be heard.

4 Install the end units (OP-26751: 2 units per set) (sold separately)

on both sides of the amplifiers (main or expansion units). Secure the end units in place with screws on top (2 on each end unit).

The end units are mounted in the same way as the amplifiers.

Mount the amplifiers securely using the end units (OP-26751:

Point

2 units per set) (sold separately) or a commercially available DIN rail mounting tool to prevent the amplifiers from slipping and coming off from the DIN rail due to machine vibration.

Mounting the Sensor Head

 Mounting the sensor head

Mount the sensor head with the enclosed screws (IB-01/ IB-05/IB-10: M3, IB-30: M4). Tightening torque: 0.3 N less (Tightening torque for IB-01:

0.1N

·m or less)

Important

·m or

• Always use mounting holes facing the same direction for the sensor head transmitter and receiver. (Excluding IB-01)

• Do not tighten the screws with a torque exceeding 0.3 N.m. The sensor head could deform, thus preventing beam axis alignment.

When mounting the sensor, confirm that the transmitter and receiver faces on which the nameplate label is attached are facing the same direction. (Only for IB-30)

 Panel mount type, expansion unit (IB-1550)

Expansion units must be connected to the main unit before they can be used. Up to 3 expansion units can be connected to one main unit.

• When connecting the expansion cable, make sure to turn off the power beforehand. Inserting or removing the cable with the power turned on may cause damage to the units.

• Push the expansion cable connector securely all the way. Take care not to insert the connector at an angle and to insert it securely or the units could get damaged.

• When connecting the expansion units, make sure to initialize the connected expansion units and set the output polarity. (1)

When turning on the amplifier for the first time after connecting the sensor head please reference

"Operation When the Power Is Turned On for the First Time" (Page 6)

• Expansion units with different settings for output polarity (such as an NPN output expansion unit to a PNP output main unit) cannot be connected together.

• Expansion units using panel mount cannot be connected to a DIN rail mounted main unit.

1 Make the appropriate number of holes in the panel according to

the number of amplifiers required (expansion units).

For the panel cutting measurement, refer to the "Panel mount type, main unit".

2 Install the amplifiers (expansion units) on the panel.

For the amplifier mounting method, refer to the "Panel mount type, main unit".

3 Connect the amplifiers (main and expansion units) using the

expansion cable (50 mm) supplied with the expansion unit.

When arranging the amplifiers
