Observe the following precautions to ensure safe use of the Camera.
1. Installation Site
Do not install the product in locations subjected to the following 
conditions:

 ·  Ambient temperature outside the rating
 ·  Rapid temperrature fluctuations (causing condensation)
 ·  Relative humidity outside the range of 35 to 85%
 ·  Presence of corrosive or flammable gases
 ·  Presence of dust, salt, or metallic particles
 ·  Direct vibration or shock
 · Reflection of intense light (such as other laser beams or electric 

arc-welding machines)

 ·  Direct sunlight or near heaters
 ·  Water, oil, or chemical fumes or spray
 ·  Strong magnetic or electric field
 ·  Near high-voltage equipment or power equipment

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE USE

2. Handing the Camera

 ·  Tighten all screws securely during installation.

3. Other Precautions

 ·  Do not use unspecified camera cable other than those that specified in 

this manual with the FZ controller. Connection with unspecified 
camera cable and/or strobe controller may malfunction at the worst 
case. 

 ·  When the connector on the back of the camera is not in use, be sure to 

cover the connector with the attached cap. 

 ·  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

 ·  Use a Camera Cable designed specifically for the Controller.
 · 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. Maintenance

 ·  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. Scraches on the front 
Panel may cause errors.

 · If laege dust particles adhere to the front Panel of the Senser Head, 

use a blowerbrush (used to clean camera lenses) to blow them off. Do 
not blow the dust particles with your mouth.

4. 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.
