Problem
Probable cause
No communications are possible.
The cables are not correctly wired.
The F160's communications specifications do not match those of the
external device.
The communications mode was not selected under

tions settings/Serial
.

The status of communications can be checked with the I/O monitor.
The Unit operates well initially, but
after a while there is no response
from the F160.
The reception buffer on the external device (e.g., computer) is full. Check
that settings allow the data to be properly received.

Question
Answer
When more than one Camera is con-
nected, is the timing of the shutter
trigger pulse synchronized?
F160-S2, F150-S1
The timing is not synchronized. In order to prevent light interference
from other Cameras, the timing is staggered by a displacement time
(tD). The displacement time depends on the type of Camera con-
nected.
F160-S2: tD = Approx. 500
µ
s
F150-S1: tD = Approx. 1 ms
When using a strobe, the timing of the strobe trigger signal is staggered
in the same way as the shutter trigger pulse.
Other Cameras
The timing is synchronized. There is no displacement time.
Can more than one internally syn-
chronized Camera be connected?
No. Only one internally synchronized Camera (F200-S) can be con-
nected. Connect it to camera connector 0. The internally synchronized
Camera cannot be used in 2-line random trigger mode, which requires
2 Cameras.
Can the F150-LT10A Light be con-
nected to the F160-S2?
Yes. In addition to the Camera and Light, provide the appropriate lens.
20-mm field of vision: F150-LE20
50-mm field of vision: F150-LE50
