• Open-collector outputs should not be short-circuited.

• Use the power supply within the rated load.

• High-voltage lines and power lines must be wired separately from this product. Wiring them together or placing them in the same duct may cause induction, resulting in malfunction or damage.

• Use adequate safety measures, for example fail-safe circuits.

• Attach a specified-sized crimp-type terminal at the end of a wire. Do not connect a wire with an only twisted end directly to a power supply or terminal block.

• For a power supply, use a DC power supply unit provided with a remedy, for example, safety ultralow voltage circuit, to prevent a high voltage from being generated.

• Route so that power supply wires are as short as possible.

• Use D-type grounding (ground resistance of 100  or less). Make the ground point as close as possible and make the ground wire used as short as possible.

• Never a ground wire with other equipment and never ground to building beams. Doing so could cause negative impacts.

• Use a power supply dedicated for this product, without sharing it with other products.

• Tighten fixing screws securely at a torque specified in this manual.

• Before performing any of the following activities, be sure to turn off the product, or breakdown may result.

- Connecting or wiring cables

- Connecting or disconnecting connectors

- Installing or removing Calibration ROM

(3) Others

• Do not use this product for nuclear facilities, or safety circuits involving human lives.

Introduction Precautions for Correct Use

Introduction

Precautions for Correct Use

Please observe the following precautions to prevent failure to operate, malfunctions, or undesirable effects on product performance.

(1) Installation Site

Do not install the product in locations subjected to the following conditions:

• Ambient temperature outside the rating

• Rapid temperature fluctuations (causing condensation)

• Relative humidity outside the range of 35 to 85 %

• Presence of corrosive or flammable gases

• Presence of dust, salt, or iron particles

• Direct vibration or shock

• Reflection of intense light (such as other laser beams, electric arc-welding machines or ultraviolet shine)

• Direct sunlight or near heaters

• Water, oil, or chemical fumes, spray or mist atmospherics

• Strong magnetic or electric field

(2) Power Supply and Wiring

• When using a commercially available switching regulator, make sure that the FG terminal is grounded.

• If surge currents are present in the power lines, connect surge absorbers that suit the operating environment.

• Before turning ON the power after the product is connected, make sure that the power supply voltage is correct, there are no incorrect connections (e.g. load short-circuit) and the load current is appropriate. Incorrect wiring may result in breakdown of the product.

• Use the specified voltage. If voltage exceeding the rating or AC voltage is applied, circuit parts may be burnt or rupture.

• Use the Extension Fiber Cable (ZW-XF_ _R) for extending the fiber cable between the Sensor extension fiber cable, five total lengths, 2, 5, 10, 20 or 30 m, are available.

• Handling fiber cables Use them in compliance with the following.

-Fiber cable bend radiuses must be at least 20 mm.

- Do not let bending cause stress at the root section of a fiber connector.

-Do not yank hard on a fiber cable.

-Do not step on a fiber cable or place anything heavy on it.

• Be sure to use a Sensor Head and Calibration ROM with the same serial number. A pair with different serial numbers cannot operate normally.

• Use the configuration software with the combination specified in this manual, or the system may operate faultily.

• Do not shut down the power supply when saving any data into the memory built in the controller, or the data may be corrupted.

User's Manual

Page 11

Introduction

Precautions for Correct Use

• While a fiber cable is disconnected, be sure to attach the included protective cap on both the controller side and the fiber cable side. Leaving the fiber cable with the protective cap not attached, the optical fiber may fail due to any adhered foreign matter.

(3) Warming Up

After turning ON the power supply, allow the product to stand for at least 30 minutes before use. The circuits are still unstable immediately after the power supply is turned ON, so measured values may fluctuate gradually.

(4) Maintenance and Inspection

Do not use thinner, benzene, acetone or kerosene to clean the Sensor Head, fiber cable and controller. If large dust particles adhere to the emitter/receiver of the Sensor Head or controller, use a blower brush (used to clean camera lenses) to blow them off. Do not blow the dust particles with your mouth. To remove smaller dust particles, dirt, oil, and fat, wipe gently with a soft cloth (for cleaning lenses). Do not use excessive force to wipe off dust particles. Scratches on the emitter/receiver may cause false operations or measuring errors. For details on the method for cleaning the ends of fiber cables, refer to "Connecting Fiber Cables" (p.1-15).

Introduction

(5) Sensing Objects

The product sometimes cannot accurately measure the following types of objects: Transparent objects, objects with an extremely low reflection factor, objects smaller than the spot diameter, objects with a large curvature, excessively inclined objects, target objects with a thin film on the surface etc.

(6) Effect caused by peripheral lights

Do not install the Sensor Head in a place where strong light hits the laser emitter/ receiver section of the Sensor Head. Also, if a workpiece has a shiny surface, the light from the lighting will be reflected and a malfunction may occur. In such a case, prevent reflection by, for example, covering the light to stop reflection.

p.1-8

(7) Influence by Air Turbulences

Slow air turbulences around the Sensor Head may disperse measured values. To avoid these possible air turbulences, wrap the Sensor Head with an appropriate cover.

Chapter 1 About Installation and Connection

• The connection adapter (ZW-XFC) comes packed together with the extension fiber cable

(ZW-XF_ _R).

Chapter 1 MEASUREMENT SETUP

• Never use any extension fiber cable and/or connecting adapter other than those specified in the

above.

• Hold the combined length of the normal and extension fiber cables to no more than 32 m.

• Only one fiber cable is allowed to extend the normal fiber cable. Never use two or more extension fiber cable connected together.

• Do not touch the end surface of a fiber cable, or the cable may be degraded in performance. Should

the end surface be touched or soiled, wipe the dirt away using a commercially available cleaner

exclusive for fiber connectors or dry and soft cloth. Do not use a cloth moistened with alcohol, or the

dirt may be reattached.

Point Item Model Manufacturer

Sensor Head side Fiber connector

Controller side Fiber connector

• The fiber cable and fiber connectors should not be left with their protective caps removed, not even for

a short period of time. Leaving them unprotected can let dirt get on the end surface and cause

performance deterioration.

• Calibrate the Sensor Head after removing and inserting an optical fiber.

Zero Reset

■ What is zero reset?

This function allows resetting the measured value to "0" at any timing during measurement in the RUN mode. The measured value can be displayed and output as a positive or negative deviation (tolerance) from the set reference value "0".

Example 1:Using the height of sensing object registered as the reference value and the

tolerance output as the measured value

Example 2:Using the height of sensing object as the measured value with an offset set

Setting Threshold Value

Switch the controller to the FUN mode and set the range in order for the measured value to be judged as PASS. Both HIGH and LOW threshold values are set. As a judgment result, HIGH, PASS or LOW is output.

Chapter 2 BASIC OPERATION

A judgment result appears on the controller as follows:

• For judgment result HIGH: The HIGH indicator lights up.

• For judgment result PASS: The PASS indicator lights up.

• For judgment result LOW: The LOW indicator lights up.

There are two ways of setting the threshold value.

• Hysteresis (hysteresis width) can also be set to threshold values. Set hysteresis when measured values are dispersed around a threshold value, and judgments are unstable, to prevent chattering.

• Threshold values can also be adjusted by directly entering values in the RUN mode. This helps you to make fine adjustments without shutting down the system.

■ Setting the differ filter

Use the differentiation function to detect only sudden changes in the measured values that occur during very short periods of time. The differentiation function detects changes between the present value and the measured value that is in effect just before the comparing pitch. The coefficient of this comparing pitch is defined as the differentiation cycle.

Setting the Output Conditions

■ Setting the frequency filter

Set a filter to ignore or detect the changes in a specific frequency in the measured data.

Setting [Display] Description

Lowpass Filter [LO.PASS] Ignores frequency components larger than the specified

cut-off frequency. (Only gradual changes are captured.) Range of cut-off frequency: 0.001 - 999.999 Hz (Default value: 0.001)

Highpass Filter [HI.PASS] Detects frequency components smaller than the

specified cut-off frequency. (Sudden changes are captured.) Range of cut-off frequency: 0.001 - 999.999 Hz (Default value: 0.001)

Bandpass Filter [BD.PASS] Detects the frequency components between the cut-off

frequency (lower limit) and the cut-off frequency (upper limit). Sets the upper and lower limits of the frequency bandwidth to be detected. Range: Upper limit 0.001 - 999.999 Hz

(Default value: 999.999)

Lower limit 0.001 - 999.999 Hz

(Default value: 0.001)

Off [OFF]

Frequency filter is not used.

(Default value)

Chapter 3 SETTINGS FOR FUNCTIONS

*1 Set the cut-off frequency to a value smaller than one-half of the sampling frequency. Otherwise, the

frequency filter will not function properly. If a value outside of the appropriate range is set, the frequency filter will be applied with the values included in the range.

*2 If the cut-off frequency values (upper/lower limits) are too close, the frequency bandwidth to be

detected cannot be properly detected.

• The sampling frequency is the inverse of the sampling cycle.

• The measuring cycle can be viewed in the "System Information" menu.

Setting the Scaling

This setting is used when you want to correct any errors that are generated due to the installation status of the Sensor Head, and display the corrected value on the main display as a measured value. There are three types of setting: "auto scaling" ("one-point scaling" and "two-point scaling") that automatically sets the correction value of a placed sensing object, "manual scaling" that manually sets the correction value and "thickness scaling" that sets the sensing object (transparent object) and automatically sets the correction value.

The "zero Reset" (p.3-37) settings return to the default settings when scaling is set. If scaling is set,

perform a zero reset as necessary.

● One-point scaling

A measurement is performed at one position and offset values are set for that measured value. The offset and increment/decrement inversion can be set. (Default value: OFF)

Example: When displaying the distance to the sensing object
