FQ-series Vision Sensors are real-color Vision Sensors with integrated processing. Once configured, they are
used stand-alone for quality inspection of presence, position, and other product characteristics. To set up or
monitor the sensors, either the touch screen based console 'Touch Finder' or a 'PC Tool' can be used.
Setup, Image Confirmation, and Logging Tools
Touch Finder
FQ Vision Sensor
Used to check images and set the judgement
parameters. It can also be used to save
measurement results and check status during
operation.
PC Tool
Includes the camera, lighting, measurement
processor, and I/O functions.
After the Sensor has been set up, it can be
operated alone to perform measurements
without the Touch Finder or PC Tool.
The same functions as those that are provided
by the Touch Finder can be performed from a
computer. The PC Tool is available free of
charge.
FQ-series Vision Sensors are available in two different models. The differences are given in the following table.

• The measurement is started by inputting a trigger signal from an external
device.
• Images are taken according to the trigger.
• The image is measured to see if it matches the configured settings.
• The overall judgement of all inspection items are output using OR logic.
• Measurement data and image data can be logged in memory in the Sensor or
in an SD card.

Important
• There is a certain amount of deviation among Sensors in the center of the optical axis. For this reason, when install-
ing the Sensor, check the center of the image and the field of view on the LCD monitor of the Touch Finder and in
the PC Tool.

Installation Precautions
Install the Touch Finder in the following orientation to allow sufficient heat dissipation.
Do not mount it in the following orientations.
Important
• To improve ventilation, leave space on both sides of the Touch Finder. The distance between the Touch Finder and
other devices should be at least that shown in the following diagram.
15 mm min.
• Make sure that the ambient temperature is 50°C or lower. If it exceeds 50°C, install an cooling fan or an air condi-
tioner and maintain the temperature at 50°C or lower.
• To prevent interference by noise, do not mount the Sensor on panels which contain high-voltage devices.
• To keep the level of noise from the surrounding environment to a minimum, install the Sensor and Touch Finder at
least 10 m away from power lines.

Preventing Chattering
• The Sensor is equipped with an anti-chattering function, but if the chattering is 100 µs or longer, a faulty input may
occur. (Input signals of 99 µs or shorter are ignored. Signals of 100 µs or longer are treated as input signals.)
• Use no-contact output devices (e.g., SSR or PLC transistor output) for the input signals. If contacts (e.g., relay) are
used, chattering may cause the trigger to be input again during execution of a measurement.
Power Supply Specifications When a Switching Regulator Is Connected
Use a power supply that meets the following specifications. (The power supply is sold separately.)
ItemDescription
Power supply voltage24 VDC (21.6 to 26.4 V)
Output current3.75 A min.

Important
Supply power from a DC power supply for which measures have been applied to prevent high voltages (e.g., a safety
extra low voltage circuit).
If UL certification is required for the overall system, use a UL Class II DC power supply.
