• If removing the microSD card, confirm that data are not being read or written before removing it.

• Do not insert the microSD card inversely, obliquely, or as twisting it.

• While data are being read in or written to the microSD card, the SD ACCESS LED on the Smart Camera main unit is turned on for a while. Remove the card after confirming that the LED is completely turned off.

• Except when inserting or removing the microSD card, put the cover of the microSD card inserting connector and screw it up before using the product.

• When a message indicating that processing is being executed is displayed on the screen, do not turn OFF the power. Otherwise, data on the memory is broken, so the product does not operate normally when started up again.

• Do not use the product in environments subject to water droplets when an external lighting is connected. The main unit may be broken.

• The RS-232C communication standard defines the maximum cable length as 15 m. Implement this communication using an I/O cable 2/3/5/10 m long.

• When connecting cables, align terminals and connect them straightly. If not, the terminals bent and may cause malfunction or unable to communicate normally.

Precautions for Correct Use

Maintenance (FH series)

• Turn OFF the power and ensure the safety before maintenance.

• Clean the lens with a lens-cleaning cloth or air brush.

• Lightly wipe off dirt with a soft cloth.

• Dirt on the image element must be removed using an air brush.

• Do not use thinners or benzene.

• To ensure safe access for operation and maintenance, separate the Sensor Controller as much as possible from high-voltage equipment and power machinery.

Maintenance (FHV series)

FH/FHV Series Vision System User’s Manual (Z365-E1)

Precautions for Correct Use

• Turn OFF the power and ensure the safety before maintenance.

• Clean the lens with a lens-cleaning cloth or air brush.

• Lightly wipe off dirt with a soft cloth.

• Dirt on the image element must be removed using an air brush.

• Do not use thinners or benzene.

• To ensure safe access for operation and maintenance, separate the Sensor Controller as much as possible from high-voltage equipment and power machinery.

• Be sure to put the cap/cover onto the connector not used. Otherwise, the product may malfunction or get out of order due to entering of foreign materials.

Communications with Upper Device

• Implement communications with upper device after confirming that this product has been started up. In addition, when this product is being started up, unstable signals may be issued by the upper interface. In the initial operation, take action such as clearing the receiving buffer of the equipment used.

Failsafe Measures

• When controlling stages and robots using the measurement results from the Sensor Controller (axis movement output based on calibration and alignment measurement), always take fail-safe measures within the stage and robot systems, such as checking whether the data obtained from the measurement results is within the range of movement of the stages and robots.

• On a Sensor Controller side, supplementary use operations and branches of the Sensor Controller to configure a check flow such as “data should not be externally provide if the data is in a range from

-XXXXX to XXXXX” based on the stage/robots range of movement.

Connecting the Sensor Controller and Monitor with a Switcher and Splitter (FH series)

• Do not use devices that make the Sensor Controller recognize the monitor again when switching operation is performed. Re-recognition process in switching operation has an effect such as a delay in measurement time.

Warm-up (FHV series)

• Turn ON the power and wait for 60 minutes or more before conducting precise inspection. The circuit is not stable directly after the power is turned ON, so brightness may vary gradually.

Camera Installation (FHV series)

• In an environment exposed to high humidity and sharp temperature fluctuation, the inside of the lighting cover may become cloudy in rare cases. If it becomes cloudy, remove the lighting cover and wipe off the inside with a soft cloth.

• If installing smart camera main units side by side, secure a space of 30 mm or more wide between them.
