WARNING
Follow the instructions mentioned in this manual. Otherwise, injury to the human body (eyes and skin) may result.
Do not directly look at or touch the laser beam and its reflection from a mirror-like surface.
• Do not direct the beam at other people or into areas where other people unconnected with the laser work might be present.
• Be careful of the path of the laser beam. Make the laser path as short as possible and be sure to terminate the laser path with a diffusion reflector or diffusion absorber with proper reflectance and thermal characteristics so that the laser beam does not diffuse. (It is recom­mended that you install a protective enclosure.)
• Install the laser product carefully so that the laser beam is not uninten­tionally directed at mirror-like surfaces.
• Install the products so that the path of the laser beam is not as the same height as that of human eye.
• Wear protective eye goggles appropriate for the laser beam wavelength.

TROUBLESHOOTING

When abnormal operation occurs, first check following, Trouble-shooting points. If abnormal operation continues after taking the steps outlined below, Please contact out nearest distributor or the Overseas Division of Keyence Corporation.
Troubles The monitor voltage
does not change.
The resolution is not high enough
The monitor voltage fluctuates.
The monitor voltage changes drastically when tow sensor heads are used, e.g. When measuring thickness.
Item to be checked
Is the sensor head installed in the correct position?
Is the connector of the sensor head tightened firmly?
Does the STABILITY LED indicator turn red?
Is the voltage in proportion to the displacement out put? Is the response speed selector switch set to 0.7 ms?/
0.15 ms?
Is the sensor affected by external disturbance light?
Is the main power voltage at the correct level?
Are the lenses of the sensor head clean? Is the sensor affected by nose?
Is there any vibration on the feeder line?
Is the main power voltage at the correct level?
Does any electric potential reside on the sensor head mounting surface? In the span range of only sensor adjusted?
Countermeasures
Install the sensor head in the range where the STABILITY LED indicator turns yellow or green.
Firmly attach the connector by completely turning the fastening ring.
Adjust the position and angle of the sensor until the STABILITY LED indicator turn yellow or green.
Adjust the output voltage using the SPAN dial. Set the response speed selector switch to SLOW
when fast response is not required. Take countermeasures against external disturbance
light so that it does not fall on the lenses of the sensor.
Use a stabilized power supply so that the power voltage stays within the allowable range
Wipe off dirt or dust with a soft cloth. Route the wiring of the sensor away from power
cables and high-tension cables. Reduce vibration near the measurement point as
much as possible. Use a stabilized power supply so that the power
voltage stays within the allowable range. Install insulation between the mounting surface and
sensor head. Adjust the span range of both sensors.

HINTS ON CORRECT USE

CAUTION
Sensor mounting
• When a target consists of differently colored portions or different materials separated by a border, measurement error may result depending on the orientation the sensor head. To minimize measure­ment deviation, install the sensor head parallel to the border line as shown in the illustration below.
Be sure to use a "W" type controller in combination with a "W" type sensor head. If you connect a non "W" type controller to a "W" type sensor head, it may cause an electric shock or may burnout the controller or the sensor.
Tightly fasten the cable mounting ring when installing the sensor head. Avoid turning the cable when installing or removing the sensor head; otherwise the cable may be damaged.
• The sensor head is case-grounded. If noise is generated on the surface where the sensor head is mounted, it may cause variation in the analog voltage output, or degradation and breakage of the laser diode. In this case, install insulation between the mounting surface and sensor head.
Incorrect Correct
Detectable objects
Mirror surfaced objects may not be detected depending on the direction in which the light beam is reflected from the target. To correct this, carefully adjust the angle of the sensor head to the target.
Compatibility
The controller and sensor head are calibrated as pair. Therefore, to satisfy specifications, combine units having the same serial number.
12
Operating environment
• Keep the sensor head free from water, oil or dust. Any substance that refracts light or decreases the light quantity may cause measurement error.
• Do not allow extraneous light to enter the lens of the sensor head. When highly accurate measurement is required, attach shielding to the sensor head.
* If extraneous light enters the sensor when no target is present, use
the laser emission control input.
Power supply
All circuit in the sensor head are grounded to the case through a capacitor. However, noise conveyed through the power supply line may cause the sensor head to malfunction. Use a stabilized DC power supply having an insulated transformer. When using a commercially available switching regulator, be sure to correctly ground the chassis ground or earth ground terminal.
Warming up operation
Start using the LB series at least 30 minutes after you turn the power ON. The circuit condition is not stable immediately after the power is provided, so that the measurement value may vary.
