Correct Handling
Pay attention to the following items when installing and using the system.
Installation Environment

Do not install the system in the following places.
•
Places where the ambient temperature, humidity, or the illumination level of the
light receiving surface is in excess of the operating environmental conditions.
( Refer to “Operating Environment” .)
•
Places that causes dew condensation as a result of radical temperature changes.
•
Places with corrosive gas or flammable gas.
•
Places with excessive dust, iron powder, or salt.
•
Places where organic solvents, such as benzine, paint thinner, and alcohol, and
strong alkaline substances, such as ammonia and sodium hydroxide are likely to
adhere to the system.
•
Places with strong vibration and shock.
•
Places exposed to direct sunlight.
•
Places where oil, or chemicals are sprayed.
•
Places where a heavy load is imposed on the sensor head.
Operating Environment

Ambient Temperature, Humidity, and Illuminance
Ambient temperature
•
Use the system within the range of the specifications ( refer to Chapter 6
“Specifications”
).
Sensor head:
-10°C to +45°C
•
Keep the following storage temperature range in the case of storing the sensor
head.
Sensor head:
-20°C to +60°C
•
The life of the semiconductor laser depends on the operating ambient temperature.
Take appropriate measures, such as the use of a cooling fan, to drop the ambient
temperature of the sensor head as much as possible if the sensor head is used
close to heat radiating objects.
•
The sensor head radiates heat as well. Therefore, be sure to install the sensor head
in places with as good thermal conductivity as possible. Mount the sensor head to
an aluminum or steel plate with a minimum surface area of 200 cm
