Precautions for Safe Use
Observe the following precautions to ensure safe use of the product.
1. Installation Environment
• Do not use the product in environments containing flammable or explosive gases.
• Do not use the product in environments containing corrosive or combustible gases.
• Do not use the product in environments containing dust, salt, or metallic powders.
• Do not use the product in environments containing droplets, water or mist, oil or
chemical agents.
• Do not use the product in environments that may be affected by a CRT's flashing or
other ambient light.
• Do not install or use the product outdoors.
Introduction
Introduction
• For the purpose of ensuring safe operation and maintenance, do not install the
product close to high-voltage devices or electrically powered devices.
2. Power Supply and Wiring
• To assure noise and insulation resistance, be sure to use S8VS-01505 (made by
OMRON) as a driving power supply.
• Do not connect a voltage or AC power supply that has a voltage exceeding the rating
voltage (5 V+/-10%).
• Avoid reverse connection of power supply. Do not short circuit a load on OK/NG
output signal (open collector).
• Avoid applying a load that exceeds the rating.
• Be sure to turn the power OFF before connecting or disconnecting a cable.
Connecting or disconnecting a cable while the power is ON may cause failure.
• Connect different cables from high-voltage or power cables to the product. If the
same cable or duct is used, electromagnetic induction may result, which may result in
malfunction or damage.
• Tighten the fixing screws at the torque specified in this manual.
3. Communication with Upper Equipment
• Check that the product has started up, and then start communication with upper
equipment.
• Indefinite signals may be generated from the upper interface while the product starts
up. Clear the receive buffer of the devices before starting initial operation.

Introduction
Precautions for Correct Use
Always observe the following precautions to prevent operation failures, malfunctions, and adverse effects
on performance and equipment.
1. Installation location
The product must not be installed in a place:
• where ambient temperature is outside the range defined in the specifications,
• where a rapid temperature change (dew condensation) occurs,
• where ambient humidity is outside the range defined in the specifications,
• where direct vibration or shock may affect the product,
• where exposed to intense ambient light (laser, arc welding, or UV light),
• where exposed to direct sunlight or heat from heating appliances, and
Introduction
• where a strong magnetic or electric field exists.
Because of the protection rating described in the manual, avoid using
locations containing:
• corrosive or combustible gases,
• dust, salt, or metallic powders,
• droplets, water mist, oil or chemical agents.
2. Power supply, connection, and wiring
• Be sure to use S8VS-01505 (made by OMRON) as a driving power supply.
• Do not install the product in a location where a high-voltage device is installed.
• Be sure to user the supplied insulation board to assure the noise resistance.
• After connecting the cables, check that the correct power supply is used, that there is
no load short-circuiting or other inappropriate connections, and that the load current is
correct before turning the power ON. Faulty wiring may be the cause of failure.
• Use a wrist strap or other similar device to avoid electrostatic charge when you touch
terminals and signal lines within a connector, and to avoid damage due to static
electricity.
• Try to keep the length of the power cable to a minimum (less than 3 m).
3. Labels
• For labels with a highly gloss surface, reading errors may occur because of regular
reflection of the LED light. If this occurs, provide a skew angle of 15
label.

4. Cleaning of the reading window
• Install the product so that the front area of the reading window is free of dust and oil
droplets.
If dust or oil droplets are found, clean the surface using the following method.
• Blow large particles off using a blower brush (for camera lenses).
Do not blow using your own breath.
• Gently wipe off small particles using a soft cloth (lens wiper) moistened with a small
amount of alcohol. Avoid vigorous wiping. Scratches on the reading window may
result in reading errors.

Reading performance for bar codes on a highly gloss surface such as glossy paper or a card case
may be impaired because reflected illumination LED light or room illumination light enters the
reading window.
If reflected illumination LED light is the culprit, reading performance can be improved by providing
an angle of about 15° in the skew direction or turning off the illumination LED light.
