Do not turn OFF the power while setting the items or saving the settings. Otherwise, all or
part of the setting data may be lost.
Do not let water, dust or oil stick to the camera/light of the sensor. Failure to do so may cause
a malfunction.
The enclosure rating of the monitor (IV-M30) is IP40. This is not designed for water proof so be
careful to operate it.
When this product becomes dirty, do not rub it with a wet cloth, benzene, thinner, or alcohol.
Doing so may change the color or shape of the unit.
If the unit is heavily contaminated, disconnect all the cables including the power supply cable,
wipe off the dirt with a cloth soaked with mild detergent, and then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
For an LCD panel
Do not press the touch panel with the tip of your nail or anything that has a sharp tip such as
a pen or a screwdriver. Doing so may cause damage.
Do not apply shock to the touch panel or press it with excessive force. Doing so may cause
damage.
The LCD panel may have some dots that are always lit (bright dots) or ones that are always
unlit (black dots). This phenomenon is not a problem.
Due to the unique characteristics of an LCD, displaying the same image for a long time may
cause an afterimage.
For USB memory

Overview of IV Series

Overview of IV Series
Getting Started

IV Series

The IV Series is an all-in-one “Vision Sensor” featuring a camera, a light, and a controller. This sensor
can be attached easily so complicated detection operations such as detecting the shapes of parts with a photoelectric switch can be achieved easily.
Operation condition settings require the intelligent monitor (IV-M30) or the IV software IV-Navigator (IV-H1).
After setting is completed, the sensor can be operated independently.
The sensor with monitor and the sensor with PC are connected via an Ethernet so network connection with
multiple sensors besides direct single connection can be performed.

Status output
Inputs the imaging startup signal by synchronizing to the
target position from a photoelectric switch or PLC.
Also, the trigger can be input at a regular interval with an internal trigger function.
Light up the built-in light and image the target by using the
CMOS image sensor. BUSY output function turns ON.
According to the settings of a detection tool, the image of the target is scanned for detecting whether a target is high or low quality. Up to 16 detection tools can be set. Also, misaligned positions of the target can be corrected by using the
position adjustment tool. After the detection process is completed, the BUSY output
function turns OFF.
Outputs the status results. When the total status result is OK, the total status output is ON. When the total status result is NG, the total status NG output is ON.

Mounting the Sensor

Mounting the Sensor
Ground (functional ground) the drain cable
Installation and Connection
(FG) of the power I/O cable.
Mount and insulate the sensor. Use the
attached mounting adapter to insulate. Sensor case has been grounded. If the sensor is not insulated, the electric potential and noises may cause a damage or malfunction.
Do not place the sensor in the environment
that exceeds the limit of sensor's resistance to the environment, or environment that propagates the vibration directly to the sensor. Those may cause a damage or malfunction.

Checking the view and installed distance

For IV Series, installed distance between the view and object is different depending on the type of the
sensor. Check the type of the sensor to be used and its view, and place it in the proper distance.
View H
Indicator light
View V
Manual focus type needs to adjust the focusing
position after installed. Reserve the enough
space to adjust and install it.
At the time of installation, it is better to enable
the position or direction adjustment of the sensor by installing the adjustment system at
the sensor mounting area.
View and optical axis have individual differences.
Adjust the position by checking the actual image
at the time of installation.
Place the sensor where no ambient light has
effect. Ambient light includes solar light, lights of other devices, and photoelectric sensors. Also, be careful when the light intensity of the ambient light changes. Use the shield to protect when the location cannot be changed.
Place the sensor where no object can block out
the internal light or the view of the sensor.
Detection may become unstable due to the
lights if multiple sensors are placed nearby each
other. Delay the timing of external trigger or use
the shield to avoid interference.
