Safety Precautions

General Precautions

• This product is only intended to detect objects. Do not use this product for the purpose of protecting a human body or a part of the human body.

WARNING

NOTICE

• This product is not intended for use as an explosion-proof product. Do not use this product in a hazardous location and/or potentially explosive atmosphere.

• This product uses DC power. Do not apply AC power. The product may explode or burn if an AC voltage is applied.

• Do not wire the amplifier line along with power lines or high-tension lines, as the sensor may malfunction or be damaged due to noise.

• When using a commercially available switching regulator, ground the frame ground terminal and ground terminal.

• Do not use the LV-N10 Series outdoors, or in a place where extraneous light can enter the light-receiving element directly.

• Due to individual dispersion characteristics and the difference in sensor head models, the maximum sensing distance or displayed value may not be the same on all units.

Safety Precautions on Laser Product

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

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

WARNING

FDA (CDRH) Part 1040.10

• Follow the instructions mentioned in this manual. Otherwise, injury to the human body (eyes and skin) may result.

Precautions on Class 1 laser products

• Do not stare into the beam.

• Do not disassemble this product. Laser emission from this product is not automatically stopped when it is disassembled.

Safety Precautions

* The laser classification for FDA (CDRH) is implemented based on IEC60825-1 in accordance with the

requirements of Laser Notice No.50.

Reference

Laser Transmission OFF input When the laser transmission OFF input is set for external input, the laser transmission can be stopped by turning the external input ON (2 ms or longer). The transmission is stopped while the external input is ON. Once the external input is turned OFF, the laser transmission will resume within 20 ms.

Connecting multiple amplifiers

Up to 16 expansion units can be connected to 1 main unit. Note, however, that the 2output type is considered as 2 expansion units.

This method applies only when using the main unit independently. If the main unit is connected with an expansion unit(s), use the method of mounting on a DIN rail.

Mount the amplifier on the amplifier mounting bracket (OP-73880, sold separately), using the same manner as "Mounting on a DIN rail".

Secure the unit with two M3 screws as shown in the illustration.

Point

• Contact your nearest KEYENCE office when connecting a unit other than the N-bus (KEYENCE’s wire-saving system) compatible sensor amplifier, including LV-N10 Series, or the NU Series communication module.

• Turn the power off before connecting multiple expansion units.

• Do not touch the expansion connector with your bare hands.

• When using the LV-N10 Series as a main unit, use the products within the expansion unit’s power voltage range if the power voltage range of the expansion unit is narrower than the LV-N10 Series.

Remove the protection covers from the main unit

and expansion unit(s).

Mount the main unit and expansion unit(s) on the

DIN rail.

Slide the main unit and expansion unit(s) together.

Engage the 2 claws of the expansion unit with the recesses on the main unit side until you hear/ feel a click. Attach the separately sold end units (OP-26751: a

set of 2 units) to the DIN rail in the same manner as step (2).

Switching Output

Output Switch (L-on/D-on)

This function configures when the output turns ON.

When the current received light inten-

sity is displayed, press the [MODE] button.

Basic Operation

The current output condition (L-on or D-

on) is displayed.

Press the button to switch the out-

put condition, and then press the [MODE] button.

Select "D-on" if you want to output the ON signal when the beam is blocked (a workpiece is present.) for a thrubeam or retro-reflective model. Select "L-on" if you want to output the ON signal when the beam is received (a workpiece is present.) for the reflective model.

The output condition is switched, and the current received light intensity is dis-

played.

*1 If you do nothing for 3 seconds or more or press the [MODE] button, the received

light intensity display is automatically restored.

*2 When using the sub-display, the screen will switch between the current received

light intensity J L-on/D-on screen J sub-display J current received light intensity and so forth each time the [MODE] button is pressed.

Adjusting the Sensitivity

In this manual, the value at which the sensor amplifier's ON/OFF output switches is expressed as the "setting value". The process of adjusting the setting value is expressed as "adjusting the sensitivity". This section explains the method of adjusting the sensitivity.

List of Sensitivity Adjustment Methods

The methods of adjusting the LV-N10 series sensitivity is largely classified into 2 types.

(1) Preset At the same time as adjusting the sensitivity, the received light intensity can be calibrated to "100.0" or ".0" using simple operations. This method can decrease the variation of the received light intensity depending on the contents of the detection and the workpiece, and is useful for predictive maintenance. However, this is not suitable for when difference in received light intensity varies little with or without a workpiece, such as when detecting a transparent workpiece.

(2) Calibration The sensitivity can be adjusted with simple operations. The received light intensity is not compensated. This method is used to adjust without calibrating the received light intensity, or when highly accurate detection is required. Calibration can be performed in the preset state.

The sensitivity is adjusted just by pressing the [PRESET] button when a workpiece is absent.

The sensitivity is adjusted just by pressing and holding the [PRESET] button when a workpiece is absent.

The states at which to display "100.0" and ".0" can be set randomly.

The sensitivity can be calibrated using a workpiece which moves at high speed.

The setting can be established just by pressing the [SET] button on ce when a workpiece is present and absent.

The sensitivity can be calibrated using a workpiece which moves at high speed.

This setting prevents malfunctions even when using in an easily contaminated environment.

A setting suitable for positioning can be made.

This is useful for calibrating from an external device, such as a PLC.

Disabling the preset function

When the PST indicator is lit, press and hold the [PRESET] button.

• The PST indicator turns off, indicating that the preset function has been disabled.

• Once the preset function is disabled, the setting value is recalculated while retaining the ratio of the setting value and received light intensity.
