This section emits light.

(2) Receiver part

This section captures the 

image.

(3) Connector

This connector is connected 

to the Amplifier Unit.

(4) Sensor Head mounting fixture

This fixture is for mounting the Sensor Head.

This fixture can be mounted on all of the four 

mounting surfaces.

(5) Focus adjustment control

This control is used for adjusting the focus of the image.

(6) Ventilation film

This film prevents the front panel from condensation.

(7) Extra Light Connector

This connector is connected to the Extra Light.

The following graphs show the relationship between detection range and setting 

distance for each model of Sensor Head.

Values differ according to each model of Sensor Head, so fully check the model before

using these graphs.

(Example)

When using a ZFV-SC50 Sensor Head at

a detection range of 20 mm required for

the location of the sensing object, the setting 

distance of Sensor Head becomes

70mm.

Attach the mounting fixture (provided with the 

Smart Sensor) to the side of the Sensor Head.

The mounting fixture can be installed on all of the 

four mounting surfaces.

Insert a regular screwdriver into the gap (one of 

the two gaps) between the mounting

fixture and the Sensor Head case, and remove the 

mounting fixture.

Attach the ferrite core (provided with the Smart Sensor) to the case side and the 

connector side of the Sensor Head.

・ 

ZFV-SC50/SC50W

(1) Align the two hooks on one side of the mounting 

fixture with the two grooves on the Sensor Head 

body (light emitting side).

(2) Press in the other hook.

Push down until you hear it snap into place.

(3) Make sure that the mounting fixture is firmly 

fixed on the Sensor Head.

(1) Install the Sensor Head at the installation distance obtained in the above graphs.

(2) Turn the focus adjustment control 

      to the left and right to adjust the focus.

Insert the Sensor Head connector into the Sensor Head connector of the Amplifier Unit.

Pull out the Sensor Head while pressing in the hooks on both sides of the Sensor 

Head connector.

Before turning the focus adjustment control slightly to the left and right, make sure that 

the guide light is not at the upper or lower limit positions. The focus adjustment control 

is a multi-turn control. However, the control stops turning at the upper or lower limit 

positions. Do not exert unnecessary force to turn the control at the upper or lower limit 

positions as this might damage the control.

PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE USE

PRECAUTIONS FOR CORRECT USE

Please observe the following precautions to prevent failure to operate, malfunctions, 

or undesirable effects on product performance.

Do not install the product in locations subjected to the following conditions:

 Ambient temperature outside the rating

 Rapid temperature fluctuations (causing condensation)

 Relative humidity outside the range of 35 to 85%

 Presence of corrosive or flammable gases

 Presence of dust, salt, or iron particles

 Direct vibration or shock

(1) Installation Site

The center of the optical axis sometimes differs according to each Sensor Head. During 

installation, be sure to check the center of the image and the detection range on the 

LCD monitor of the Amplifier Unit.

(3) Optical Axis and Detection Range

Please observe the following precautions for safe use of the products.

 Do not use thinner, benzene, acetone or kerosene to clean the Sensor Head and 

Amplifier Unit.

 If large dust particles adhere to the front Panel of the Sensor Head, use a blower 

brush (used to clean camera lenses) to blow them off. Do not blow off the dust 

particles with your mouth.

 To remove smaller dust particles, wipe gently with a soft cloth. 

Do not use excessive force to wipe off dust particles. Scratches on the front 

Panel may cause errors.

(1) Installation Environment

 Do not use the product in environments where it can be exposed to inflammable / 

explosive gas.

 To secure the safety of operation and maintenance, do not install the product close 

to high-voltage devices and power devices.

 During installation, make sure that screws are tightened firmly.

(3) Others

 Do not attempt to dismantle, repair, or modify the product.

 Dispose of this product as industrial waste.

(2) Power Supply and Wiring

 High-voltage lines and power lines must be wired separately from this product. 

Wiring them together or placing them in the same duct may cause induction, 

resulting in malfunction or damage.

(2) Power Supply and Wiring

 Do not peel off or probe the ventilation film with a sharp-pointed object.

If you so, the specifications of the protective structure may no longer be satisfied.

 Do not block the ventilation film. Doing so might cause the front panel to be 

con-densed.
