Ground to building ground bonding system per N.E.C. or local codes. Alternate power supply If using a different power supply, connect the H3257 using a See Table 2. 5-pin M12 female-to-flying-lead cable. You will need to determine how devices in your system will respond to the status signal.
Install synchronization cable for dual light source 29LH6610-M4M-xS Use for connecting to power supply or another H3257. One DC mode plug is required for each H3257 LED Light Source Cable part numbers: x= length in meters Figure 2. Components and cable connections.
Using the H3109 Discriminating Detector There are special considerations when the H3257 is used as a light source for the H3109 sensor. 1. Always set the H3257 to intensity 8 (default). 2. Always set the H3257 to operate in pulsed mode (default).
OPERATION Operation LED intensity settings The H3257 functions as a stand-alone light source using factory calibrated light intensity/profile settings. Factory calibration sets the drive level of each LED to the See Table 3. same value for each of eight profile settings.
OPERATION Adjusting the light intensity The H3257 must be powered on to change the intensity. The device will retain the selected intensity level between power cycles. Adjustment button Adjust the intensity level with a small pushbutton located behind a hole plug on the front panel.
Enabling DC light mode By default, the light emitted from the H3257 is pulsed at 7.5 kHz. When the H3257 is used as a light source for line scan or array cameras, use DC light mode. To configure the H3257 for DC light mode, the DC Mode Plug...
Damaged or broken lens H3257 faults and status contact The H3257 provides a contact closure in series with the 5- pin power connectors to indicate an internal fault to other devices in the system. The contact is closed during normal error-free operation.
In some environments, dust and dirt will build up on the lens of the H3257, reducing its effective light output. Daily Wipe the lens of the H3257 with a clean, damp, soft cloth. Use ordinary soap and warm water. Do not use abrasive materials or chemicals on the lens.
