perchlorate material in California, the following statement must
appear on the exterior of all outer shipping packages and on
consumer packages, based on California Code of Regulations.
“Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply, See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.”
Note: Alternative option is to indicate this statement on your
MSDS or manual accompanying with each product.
This product includes a CR coin type cell containing perchlorate
material. If you ship this product (or your product including this
product) to California, you must ensure to comply with this
regulation.

Note:■ Influence of Ambient Operating Temperature
Ensure that the ambient operating temperature is constant. A
change in the ambient operating temperature may result in
measurement errors. If the ambient operating temperature
changes by 10°C, it will take approximately 60 minutes for the
interior temperature distribution of the LS-7600 Series to be
uniform.
■ Warming Up
Do not operate the LS-7600 Series for approximately 30 minutes
after it is turned on. The internal circuitry of the LS-7600 Series is
not stable immediately after it is turned on. The measured value
drifts gradually as a result.
■ Influence of Dust and Dirt
A measurement error may result due to dirt, dust, water, or oil in
any of the following cases.
• Cover glass: Blow off the dirt, dust, water or oil on the cover
glass with clean air. If the cover glass is excessively dirty, wipe
the glass with a soft cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
• Target surface: Blow off the dirt, dust, water or oil on the surface with clean air or wipe the surface.
• Intrusion of dirt, dust, water or oil blown or sprayed into optical
sensing area: Install a protection cover or perform air purging.
■ Influence of Vibration
The measured value of an object may fluctuate if the object is
vibrating. If that happens, increase the averaging number. This
will ensure highly accurate measurement.
■ Targets
The measured value of an object may have an error due to the
shape and surface condition. Locate a reference object within the
measuring area and use the calibration function of the LS-7600
Series to correct the error if that happens.
■ Influence of Air Flow
The measured value of an object may fluctuate due to a slow
flow of air. In that case, the following countermeasures are
effective.
• Protect the measuring head with a cover.
• Use a fan to mix the air vigorously between the transmitter and
receiver.
■ Maintenance
Do not wipe the LS-7600 Series with a damp cloth or a cloth
moistened with benzine or paint thinner. This may cause the
discoloration or deformation of the LS-7600 Series. If the LS7600 Series is excessively dirty, use a tightly squeezed cloth
moistened with thin neutral detergent. Then wipe the LS-7600
Series with a soft dry cloth.
■ Precautions for LED
The LS-7010M/LS-7030M/LS-7070M Measuring Head uses an LED light source. Abide by
the following precautions when using the unit.
CAUTION
• Do not look at the LED light source for a long time.
The LED used as the light source is classified into class 1
according to IEC60825-1 standards. Basically the light beam of
the LED is safe, but do not look at the LED for a long time.
• Do not disassemble the unit.
The unit does not incorporate a mechanism to stop the emission
of the LED when the unit is disassembled. Never attempt to
disassemble the unit, otherwise you will be exposed to LED light.

■ Principle of Measurement
The high-intensity GaN green LED radiates light, which will be changed into uniform
parallel light through the special diffusion unit and collimator lens and emitted to the
target in the measuring range. Then the shadow image of the target will appear on the
HL-CCD (high-speed linear CCD) through the telecentric optical system. The output
incident signal of the HL-CCD will be processed by the DE (digital edge-detection)
processor in the controller and CPU. As a result, the dimensions of the target will be
displayed and output.

Area Settings
Area settings are used to determine the measurements taken from a variety of objects
placed in the beam. The LS-7600 Series can use up to two measuring heads to set two
measurements (AREA1 and AREA2) for simultaneous measurements.
Area Settings
Area settings include the following items.
• Area:Select the measuring head number together with
the DIA, T-EDGE, B-EDGE, or SEG mode.
• Area display:Turn the cursor on the target viewer ON or OFF.
• Focus monitor:A function to check whether the target is within the
measuring range. Set the best measuring range
(i.e., the distance between the target and transmitter) with this function.
• Area check:Set the total number of edges to be measured. If
the number of edges detected does not coincide
with the set value, the measured value will be
invalidated.
• Difference check:If there is a radical change between measured
values, the change will be detected and output.
Set the value for the change to be detected.
• Function output selection:Set the items to be output from the output terminal
on the rear panel.
• Edge detection threshold change: Set the threshold to be detected when measuring
highly transparent objects.

Area Selection
Area
When a target is located in the measuring area as shown below, the light into the
receiver is partly obstructed, thus creating a shadow.
The contour of the shadow is called “edge.” The area is surrounded by the edge line.
The LS-7600 Series can measure objects with area designation or edge designation.
Area designation is possible in DIA, T-EDGE, or B-EDGE mode. Edge designation is
possible in SEG mode.
EDGE

■ DIA (Diameter)
When the LS-7600 Series is in DIA measurement operation, it measures the outer
diameters of round bars or transparent
objects. The area between the top of the
first shadow and the bottom of the last
shadow is measured as shown in the
illustrations.

in higher repeat accuracy.
■ SEG (Segment)
Select this setting for the measurement of the inner diameters of discs or the measurement of pitches. The edge where the measurement of the object in the measuring area
starts is called “start edge” and the edge where the measurement terminates is called a
“end edge.” The space between these edges specified is measured. Segment measurement is performed in E mode or P mode. If objects are measured with the virtual center
of the light axis set, use edge 0.
Setting Range
• Edge or pitch numbers can be designated between –127 and 127.
• The duplicated designation of an edge or pitch number will set the measured value to
0.
• If edges or pitches are designated in reverse order, negative measured values will be
obtained.

• In addition to the above output signals, HH output and LL output are available though they are omitted from
the above chart.
• In the above chart, the ON status of each output means that NPN open collector output is ON, provided
that it is normally open type. If it is normally closed type, the signal will be inverted.
• The ON status of each input means that the input is short-circuited to the COM terminal.
• RS-232C output is ON in synchronization with timing input if the D-SEND item as an environment setting is
set to S1 or S2 only. Refer to Data Transmission Mode on page 6-9 for environment settings in detail.

• If RESET input is ON while timing input is ON, awaiting the result of measurement, the LCD monitor will display the result waiting status “---.-----“ until
the timing input is turned OFF.
• Comparator waiting output can be OFF-delayed. Refer to OFF-delay Time
on page 5-48 for the details of OFF-delays.
• Timing input and reset input can be sent by RS-232C control. Refer to page

Tips
Note:
• If a workpiece is eliminated during a sampling period and it becomes a
period without the internal measured value obtained, the maximum value of
the rest of the normal measured values will be output.
• Timing input and RESET input can be under RS-232C control. Refer to
page 8-11 for details.
• Strobe output time can be changed. Refer to Strobe Output Time on page 547 for details.
When the measurement mode is set to Average Hold, set the averaging
number to 1.
