1-4 Safety Consideration

CAUTION

WARNING

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

The laser beam is not harmful to the skin. There is, therefore, no danger in exposing arms or hands to the beam. The only possible health hazard is in exposing the eyes to the laser beam. Damage to the eyes can occur if the operator stares directly into the beam.

Follow the safety precautions below to ensure operator safety:

Operate the LC-2400 series only according to the procedures described in this instruction manual.

Otherwise, injury may occur due to expose to the laser beam.

Do not disassemble the sensor head.

Laser emission from the LC-2400 series is not automatically stopped if the sensor head is disassembled. If you disassemble the sensor head for inspection or repair, you may be exposed to the laser beam. If the LC-2400 series malfunctions, contact KEYENCE immediately.

Do not look directly at the laser beam.

Looking directly at the laser beam may result in serious eye injury.

CHAPTER 1 Laser Safety Precautions

1-5 Safety Features Provided with the LC-2400 Series

Protective enclosure

We recommend that you install a protective enclosure around the sensor head to prevent any person from getting near the sensor head during operation.

Protective goggles

We recommend that you wear protective goggles when using the LC2400 series.

Note

The intense light from this laser can be harmful to the eyes during prolonged

viewing. Normal reflex blinking is usually enough to prevent any eye dam-

 

 

 

 

 

 

age. However, it is best to wear laser protective glasses whenever working

 

 

around a sensor head.

1-5 Safety Features Provided with the LC-2400 Series

The LC-2400 series comes with the following safety features:

Laser ON alarm LED

Both the sensor head and the controller panel have a visible LED that lights when laser is ready to be and is being emitted.

Note LEDs can be checked to see if they are lit even when you are wearing laser protective glasses.

Reference: Laser ON alarm LED (p.12, 14, 16)

Delay of laser beam emission

To prevent an operator from being exposed to the laser beam, the laser beam is emitted three seconds after the laser ON alarm LED lights.

Laser emission remote control input connector

The laser emission control connector is located on the rear panel of the control unit. The laser can be turned on or off by a remote control signal through this connector.

Reference: Laser Remote Grounding Connector (p.15)

Key-operated power switch

The controller power switch can be locked using the attached key. When the LC-2400 controller is OFF, the key can be removed.

Laser beam shield

The sensor head transmitter comes with a laser beam shield.

Precautions for parameter setup and measurements

If there is a danger of an operator looking into the laser beam when working in front of the sensor head, close the laser beam shield as shown below before starting operations.

Close or open the laser beam shield as shown below:

Regular-reflective sensor head

2-1 Basic System Configuration

The LC-2400 series is equipped with I/O ports for connecting to external equipment and a slot for installing an optional expansion board. By connecting personal computers or other devices to the LC-2400 series, measurement data obtained with the LC-2400 series can be used for various applications.

2-1 Basic System Configuration

The LC controller consists of a display unit and control unit. If required, the control unit can be used separately from the display unit. There are also two expansion slots; one for the optional LC-B3 board which, when installed, allows the use of a second sensor head and a second slot for either a DIGITAL I/O board or GP-IB board.

However, the LC-2400W series does not incorporate these expansion slots.

Instructions

After receiving the LC, check the contents to see if any items were damaged during transportation.

Check that all the items were included.

Reference: Contents of the Package (p.ii)

• Before using the LC, be sure to read this instruction manual for details on the correct use of this product.

Do not try to disassemble the LC or use a disassembled unit. Do not disassemble the sensor head in particular, since all of the sensor head parts have been factory-calibrated.

Please handle the controller and sensor head with care. The precision optical components in the sensor head are especially susceptible to shock.

The receiver and transmitter lenses are the critical components for accurate measurement. Any flaw or dust on the lenses may result in measurement errors. If dust has accumulated on the transmitter and receiver lenses, clean the lens surface by following the procedures given below.

1.Blow the dust off the receiver and transmitter lenses using a manual blower.

2.If dust persists, wipe the lens surface gently using a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.

Hints on Correct Use

5.Put the cover back on the control unit and secure it with the six cover screws.

6.Reinsert the control unit into the display unit with the top of the control unit facing up, and secure the control unit with the two retaining screws.

Turn the power OFF when connecting or disconnecting the sensor head connector, power supply cables, or any of the optional boards. Otherwise, the laser diode or other electronic components may become degraded or damaged.

• Place the LC in a location that meets the following requirements:

Temperature: 0

to 40

° C

Humidity: 35

to 85% RH (No condensation)

Placing the LC in a location that does not meet these requirements may cause the controller and sensor head to malfunction.

Do not operate the LC in a location where extreme temperature variations are expected.

Do not operate the LC where volatile flammable objects or corrosive gases are present.

Do not expose the LC to extremely high humidity or water splashes.

When using the control unit separately from the display unit, be sure to provide a protective cover for the control unit during operation.

To prevent noise, keep the connection cables separate from the power cables. If this is not possible, shield or ground the connection cables.

Insulate the sensor head if noise is transferred through the sensor head.

Do not block the ventilation port or the ventilation fan of the controller. If they are blocked, the controller may overheat, resulting in a malfunction. Note also that a ventilation fan is not provided with the control unit. When using the control unit separately from the display unit, make sure that the room is sufficiently ventilated.

Ventilation port

Ventilation fan

Keep the ambient temperature at a constant level during measurement.

If the sensor head is operating in a location where there is thick fog or hot air, measurement errors may result.

Be sure to leave the power on for at least 60 minutes before starting measurements.
