INTELLIGENT CAMERA FOR FZ VSIAUAL INSPECTION SYSTEM

Model

FZ-SLC15

PRECAUTIONS ON SAFETY

 · Do not use the product in environments where it may be exposed to 

inflammable gas.

 ·  Tighten all screws securely during installation.

2. Other Precautions

· D

o not use unspecified camera cable and a strobe controller other 

than those that specified in this manual with the FZ controller. 
Connection with unspecified camera cable and/or strobe controller 
may cause temperature rise and malfunctions at the worst case.

 ·  Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the Camera.
 ·  If you notice any abnormality in the Camera, stop using it immediately, turn 

OFF the power supply, and contact your OMRON sales representative.

 ·  When disposing of the Camera, dispose of it as industrial waste.

Observe the following precautions to prevent the product from 
malfunctioning, becoming inoperable, or the performance and/or the 
device from being adversely affected:
1. Cable

  · Be sure to turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the 

cables.

2. Optical axis

 · The center of the optical axis may disperse by camera. When 

mounting a camera, always check the central position of video images 
with a monitor.

 ·  The center of CCD and the optical axis of the lens are aligned to the direction

of the camera at time of shipment. When the camera direction is changed,
the gap of center of optical axis may become large.

3. Cleaning

 ·  Do not use thinners, benzene, acetone, kerosene to clean the Camera.
 · Wipe off stubborn stains carefully with a piece of soft cloth that has 

been wetted with a trace quantity of alcohol.

4. Static electricity

White LEDs are used for the illumination. White LEDs are easily
damaged by static electricity. A grounded wrist strap should thus
be used when installing or conducting maintenance on the Camera.

5. Magnification

 · To avoid collisions of inside lens, maximum value for magnification 

setting varies in relation to the focusing value. If magnification is not 
sufficient, adjust the working distance.

6. Other Precautions

 ·  Do not remove the cap on the back of the camera.

Main unit, instruction sheet (this manual) and hexagonal wrench

 Applicable standard: IEC60825-1:1993 +A1:1997 +A2:2001

 

Make adjustment after disconnecting cable from the connector.
Loosen 3 screws located on the ring portion in the figure below using 
the attached hexagonal wrench. Turn the ring to adjust the direction. 
After adjustment, tighten the screws securely.

PRECAUTIONS FOR CORRECT USE

FZ-SLC15

To ensure safety, do not use this product for direct or indirect 
detection of data from human body.
Do not use this product as a sensing device for the protection 
of the human body.

Beware of danger of burns.
Do not touch the case while the LED is ON or immediately after 
the power is turned OFF.

Since this product emits a visible light, that may have an adverse 
effect on the eyes. Do not stare directly into the light emitted from the 
LED. If the subject has a specular reflective surface, take care not to 
allow reflected light enter your eyes.
