This section provides general precautions for using the F160 Vision Sensor. The information contained in this section is important for the safe and reliable application of the F160 Vision Sensor. You must read this section and understand the information contained before attempting to set up or operate an F160 Vision Sensor.
!WARNING Do not disassemble the F160, apply pressure to the F160 that would deform its shape, or incinerate the F160. A lithium battery is built into the F160 and it may combust, explode, or burn if not treated properly. !WARNING Do not short circuit, attempt to charge, disassemble, apply pressure that would deform, or incinerate the lithium battery.
Keep the power supply wires as short as possible. Ground the F160’s ground terminal to less than 100 Ω. Use a grounding point as close as possible to the F160 and keep the ground line as short as possible. Wire the F160 to the ground with a separate ground wire. To avoid ground- ing problems, do not share the ground wiring with any other devices or ground the F160 to the building’s steel framing/plumbing.
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Regulations and Standards Regulations and Standards The F160 complies with the international regulations and standards below. EU Regulations EMC Directive: No. 89/336/EEC EN Standards (European Standards) EN 61000-6-2: 1999, EN 61326: 1993/Annex A+A1: 1998,...
Introduction This section describes the precautions that must be taken when installing and operating the F160 Vision Sensor. Installation Precautions ......... .
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com Section 1-1 Installation Precautions Installation Precautions The F160 is highly reliable and resistant to most environmental factors. The following guidelines, however, must be followed to ensure reliability and opti- mum use of the F160. !Caution Read the Precautions section before proceeding with installation or operation.
Section 1-1 Installation Precautions Ambient Temperature 1,2,3... Maintain a minimum clearance of 50 mm above and below the F160 to im- prove air circulation. Do not install the F160 immediately above significant heat sources, such as heaters, transformers, or large-capacity resistors.

I/O Cable. Peripheral devices may be damaged if the cable is con- nected or disconnected with the power ON. • A cover is screwed onto the connector when the F160 is shipped. When not using the I/O connector, leave the cover in place to protect against dust, dirt, and static electricity.
Do not input the RESET input immediately after turning ON the power. When using RESET input to synchronize startup timing, wait at least 1 s after turning ON the F160’s power supply before turning ON the RESET signal. CHECK Use a DC power supply with countermeasures against high voltages (safe extra low-voltage circuits on the secondary side) for the COMIN terminal.
The F160’s serial interface (RS-232C/RS-422 connector) can be used to con- nect input signals such as measurement triggers or output signals such as measurement results. Additionally, data that has been set in the F160 can be backed up in a personal computer.

Reverse steps 1 through 4 when installing the Lens and Light. Precaution Do not disassemble the Lens. Disassembly can damage the Lens. F150-SLC20/SLC50 or F160-SLC20/SLC50 Use the following procedure to replace a Light with an F150-LTC20 (20-mm field of vision) or F150-LTC50 (50-mm field of vision) Light.
CHECK • Always turn OFF the power supply before replacing the battery. • The F160's clock will be reset if the new battery is not connected within 2 minutes of removing the spent battery. If the clock is inadvertently reset, the time and date will have to be set again.
• Turn OFF the power and take safety precautions before conducting inspections. Electrical shock can result from attempting safety inspections with the power turned ON. • Do not use thinners or benzene to clean the F160. They will damage F160 components.
