Communications With Upper Device; Failsafe Measures; Connecting The Sensor Controller And Monitor With A Switcher And Splitter (Fh Series); Warm-Up (Fhv Series) - Omron FH Series User Manual

Precautions for Correct Use
• Turn OFF the power and ensure the safety before maintenance.
• Clean the lens with a lens-cleaning cloth or air brush.
• Lightly wipe off dirt with a soft cloth.
• Dirt on the image element must be removed using an air brush.
• Do not use thinners or benzene.
• To ensure safe access for operation and maintenance, separate the Sensor Controller as much as
possible from high-voltage equipment and power machinery.
• Be sure to put the cap/cover onto the connector not used. Otherwise, the product may malfunction
or get out of order due to entering of foreign materials.

Communications with Upper Device

• Implement communications with upper device after confirming that this product has been started up.
In addition, when this product is being started up, unstable signals may be issued by the upper inter-
face. In the initial operation, take action such as clearing the receiving buffer of the equipment used.

Failsafe Measures

• When controlling stages and robots using the measurement results from the Sensor Controller (axis
movement output based on calibration and alignment measurement), always take fail-safe meas-
ures within the stage and robot systems, such as checking whether the data obtained from the
measurement results is within the range of movement of the stages and robots.
• On a Sensor Controller side, supplementary use operations and branches of the Sensor Controller
to configure a check flow such as "data should not be externally provide if the data is in a range from
-XXXXX to XXXXX" based on the stage/robots range of movement.
Connecting the Sensor Controller and Monitor with a Switcher and Split-
ter (FH series)
• Do not use devices that make the Sensor Controller recognize the monitor again when switching op-
eration is performed. Re-recognition process in switching operation has an effect such as a delay in
measurement time.

Warm-up (FHV series)

• Turn ON the power and wait for 60 minutes or more before conducting precise inspection. The cir-
cuit 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
lighting 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.
