PRECAUTIONS ON SAFETY

Image Sensor for FH - 20.4 Megapixel Digital Camera

INSTRUCTION SHEET

Thank you for selecting OMRON product. This sheet 
primarily describes precautions required in installing and 
operating the product.
Before operating the product, read the sheet thoroughly to 
acquire sufficient knowledge of the product. For your 
convenience, keep the sheet at your disposal.

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE USE

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□□), sensor controller (FH), electronic flash 

controller (FL-TCC□□□ and FLV-TCC□), electronic flash 

(FL-MD□□□MC), 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.

・Dispose of components as industrial waste.

・Do not put an impossible stress on the camera cable when you set it 

up. The cable is disconnected, and it becomes impossible might do a 

normal measurement.

PRECAUTIONS FOR CORRECT USE

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 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 flash controller cable, be 

sure to turn off the sensor controller unit and flash controller.

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

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

cable, connect the cable to CH1 of the camera connector.

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

cables, the type and length of the camera cable must be matched.

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

cables, check the CH numbers of the Sensor 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 sensor controller. 

3. Mounting

The camera case is connected to the 0 V line of the internal circuit. Observe the 

following precautions to prevent noise from entering the camera.

・Do not ground the camera unit.

・Be sure to use a Base provided with the Unit for installation. When mounting a 

base, engage it with the specified screw (M4x8) with the recommended torque (1.2 

N・m).

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 C-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-MD□□□MC, FL-TCC□□□ or FLV-TCC□).

6. Imaging element 

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

conditions or sensitivities. This does not indicated a malfunction. Although there 

may be multiple faulty pixels, this does not indicate a malfunction. Be sure to 

check the actual images before using it.

Please observe the following precautions to prevent failure to operate, 

malfunction, or undesirable effect.

1. Installation and storage of the product
