●Ground

‡

The power supply circuit of the FH Sensor Controller is insulated 

from the internal circuit.

‡

Be sure to use a base to install the camera connected with the FH 

Sensor Controller. Since the exclosure of the camera main body 
made of metals is short-circuited with the internal circuit, the 
internal circuit might be short-circuited with FG if no base is used, 
so that failures or malfunctions may be caused.

 or 

less).

‡

Keep the ground line as short as possible by setting the grounding 

point as close as possible.

‡

Ground the FH Sensor Controller independently. If sharing the 

ground line with other devices or connecting it with a building 
beam, the Sensor Controller might be adversely effected.

‡

Check wiring again before turning on the FH Sensor Controller.

another device for preventing electrostatic discharges when 
touching terminals or signal lines in connectors.

‡

Handling a USB Memory/SD memory card

To remove a USB memory or SD memory card, make sure that 
data is not being read or written to it.

‡

For USB memory, the LED flashes while data is being read or 

written, so make sure that it is lit steadily before removing the 
memory.

‡

For SD memory card, the SD BUSY LED flashes while data is 

being read or written, so make sure that it is turned OFF before 
removing the memory.

‡

Communication with High-order Device

After confirming that this product is started up, communicate with 
the high-order device. When this product has started up, an 
indefinite signal may be output from the high-order interface. To 
avoid this problem, clear the receiving buffer of your device at initial 
operations.

Fail-Safe Measures

‡

If you wish to operate a stage and/or a robot using a measurement 

result from a FH Sensor Controller(e.g. axis movement amount 
output based on calibration/alignment measurement),always take 
safety measures so that the measurement result should be 
checked by the stage/robot if it is within the range of movement of 
the stage/robot before operation.

‡2QD)+6HQVRU&RQWUROOHUVLGHVXSSOHPHQWDULO\XVHRSHUDWLRQV

and branches of the FH Sensor Controller to configure a check 
flow such as “data should not be externally provided if the data 
is in a range from-XXXXX to XXXXX ”based on the stage/robot’s 
range of movement.

In case of connecting the sensor controller and monitor with a 

switcher and splitter:

Do not use devices that may require re-recognition of the 

monitor by the sensor controller. Re-recognizing the monitor 
during switch may slow the inspection speed down.

The power supply connected to FH Sensor 
Controller varies depending on the number of 
connected cameras and types for various
