Failsafe Measures (FHV series)
• When operating a stage or robot using measurement results of the Smart Camera (axis moving dis-
tance output by the calibration or alignment measurement), take measures as follows: Be sure to
operate the stage or robot after confirming the measurement result data on the stage or robot side
that the data are within the movable range of the stage or robot.
Warm-up (FHV series)
• Turn ON the power and wait for 60 minutes or more before conducting precise inspection. The circuit
is not stable directly after the power is turned ON, so brightness may vary gradually.
Camera Installation (FHV series)
• In an environment exposed to high humidity and sharp temperature fluctuation, the inside of the light-
ing cover may become cloudy in rare cases. If it becomes cloudy, remove the lighting cover and wipe
off the inside with a soft cloth.
• If installing smart camera main units side by side, secure a space of 30 mm or more wide between
them.
Others (FHV series)
• For better heat radiation, use the separately sold fitting (FHV-XMT-7) or mount the product to the
metal frame (recommended size: 100×110 mm or more and thickness: 10 mm or more).
• Do not assemble the lighting module or water-proof hood in a hot and humid environment. Otherwise,
condensation may occur. If it becomes cloudy, remove the lighting cover and wipe off the moisture
with an absorbent, but soft cloth so as not to damage the product.
• There are two types of polarizing filters: FHV-XPL (for visible light) and FHV-XPL-IR (for both visible
and infrared lights). Use the appropriate option according to the illumination light source.
• If switching the focus for a long period of time continuously except when installing and adjusting the
product, performance may be degraded due to heat generation or abrasion of inner parts.
• When the lens module is mounted to the product, the specifications of vibration tolerance are
changed.
• Do not touch the lens module after it is mounted. Otherwise, it may be broken.
• If using this product without attaching the lighting module in an environment needing water-proof, use
water-proof hood FHV-XHD series.
• Operate the product by using Calculation and Branch processing items on the Smart Camera side
additionally and creating a check flow, for example, if the stage or robot is within a range of -xxxxx to
xxxxx from its movable range, data are not output to outside.
• The lighting module and lens module are fixed to the smart camera with dropout preventing screws.
Do not remove them from the product.
