WARNING

PRECAUTIONS ON SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE USE

PRECAUTIONS FOR CORRECT USE

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if 

not avoided, will result in minor or moderate injury, 

or may result in serious injury or death. Additionally 

there may be significant property damage.

WARNING

Be sure to respect following items for safety.

・Tighten all screws securely during installation.

・Do not connect the Sensor to the products other than the dedicated camera cable 

(FZ-VS□□), controller (FH), lighting controller (FL-TCC1 and FLV-TCC□), 

extension unit (FZ-VSJ). If the Sensor is connected to non-dedicated products and 

turned the power on, the devices may be damaged and be heated to a high 

temperature.

・If you suspect an error or malfunction, stop using the Controller immediately, turn 

OFF the power supply, and consult your OMRON representative.

・Do not try to disassemble, repair, or modify the product.

・Be sure to dispose of the product as industrial waste.

Please observe the following precautions to prevent failure to operate, malfunction, or 

undesirable effect.

1. Installation and storage of the product

Do not install in the following locations.

・Locations where the ambient temperature exceeds the rated temperature range.

・Locations subject to sudden temperature changes (where condensation will form).

・Locations subject to relative humidity outside the range of 35 to 85%.

* The camera cable FZ-VS

□□

 has polarity. Be sure to connect the side 

with the name plate on it to the controller.

・Locations where there are corrosive or flammable gases.

・Locations where there is dust, salt, or iron powder.

・Locations where the device will be subject to direct vibration or shock.

・Locations where there is strong scattered light.

・Locations exposed to direct sunlight

・Locations where there is splashing of water, oil, or chemicals.

・Locations where there is a strong electrical or magnetic field.

・Locations close to high-voltage devices and/or power devices

2. Cables

・When connecting or disconnecting the camera cable or lighting controller cable, be 

sure to turn off the controller unit.

・Do not use the camera cable exceeding the specified length.

・When connecting the Sensor and the Controller (FH) with single camera cable, 

connect the cable to CH1 of the camera connector.

・When connecting the Sensor and the Controller (FH) with two camera cables, the type 

and length of the camera cable must be matched.

・When connecting the Sensor and the Controller (FH) with two camera cables, check 

the CH numbers of the Controller side and Camera side before connecting.

・Up to three camera cables can be connected using the extension unit FZ-VSJ. Be 

sure to use the recommended camera cable with FZ-VSJ.

・When connecting the camera cable, tighten the cable with the fixing screw with the 

recommended torque (0.15 N・m). Applying excessive force to the camera connector 

may cause failure of the product. 

・Use the ferrite core equivalent to ZCAT2035-0930A (manufactured by TDK) at the 

controller side of the camera cable.

・The camera cable FZ-VS□□ has polarity. Be sure to connect the side with the name 

plate on it to the controller. Be sure to connect the side with the name plate on it to 

the controller.

3. Mounting

・Please tighten up securely by rated torque(M4 : 1.2N・m), when fixing the camera body.

・Please use an exclusive mounting bracket (Model : FH-SM12-XLC (separate sale)), 

when fixing this product and dedicated lighting controller (Model : FL-TCC1 and 

FLV-TCC□).

・Please tighten up securely by rated torque(M4 : 1.2N・m / M2 : 0.15N・m), when fixing 

the camera body, the mounting bracket and dedicated lighting controller.

・Please use M42 mount exclusive lens (Model : 3Z4S-LE VS-L□□□□ /M42-10).

4. Beam

・The beam center may vary for each camera. Be sure to confirm the center position of 

the image using the monitor before mounting. In the nature of the materials used, the 

beam center of this product may change for the number of pixels due to changes in 

ambient temperature.

5. Maintenance

・Avoid using thinner, alcohol, benzene, acetone or kerosene to clean the product.

・If there is large dirt or dust attached to the imaging element, blow them off with 

blower brush (for camera lens). Do not use your breath to blow the dust off.

・When the lens is not mounted, be sure to attach the M42-mount cap on the lens mount. If dirt or 

dust is attached to the image elements, false detection or failure may occur.

・Be sure to attach a connector cap on unused connectors at the back of the camera. 

Removing the connector cap may cause a foreign material entering in the camera, 

causing false operation or failure.

・Do not connect devices to the extension connector other than the dedicated ones 

(FL-TCC1 or FLV-TCC□).

6. Imaging element

・In the nature of imaging element, lines may appear in images due to measurement 

conditions or gain setting value. This does not indicated a malfunction. Although 

there may be multiple faulty pixels, this does not indicate a malfunction. 

When connecting the product to the Controller with a single camera cable, 

connect the cable to CH1 of the camera cable connector.

When connecting the product to the Controller with two camera cables, 

connect it as shown below.
