Calibrating Sensor Head - Omron ZW-8000 Series User Manual

• The external fiber cable has a direction. Make sure to connect the name plate side to the Sensor Controller.
• If connected in the opposite direction, the optical signal will not be transmitted and the measurement will not be
done correctly. Additionally, if force is applied to connect the standard fiber cable and extension fiber cable in the
opposite direction, it may cause other failures.
• (For ZW-7000 Series) If you connect holding the fiber connector, it cannot be connected correctly.
• For how to use the supplied strap, refer to the following; Reference mark p.33.
Attaching the strap to the Calibration ROM p.33
Important
• The connection adapter (ZW-XFCS/ZW-XFCM/ZW-XFC2) comes packed together with the extension fiber cable
@ @@
(ZW-XF 0 R).
• Never use any extension fiber cable and/or connecting adapter other than those specified in the above.
• Only one fiber cable is allowed to extend the normal fiber cable. Never use two or more extension fiber cable
connected together.
• If an incorrect fiber cable length is set, correct measurement is not possible.
• Do not touch the fiber cable face of the Sensor Head. It may cause a degrading of its efficiency.
If you mistakenly touch or otherwise get dirt on the face, lightly wipe off the part using the following:
-Optional item ZW-XCL
-Commercially available fiber cleaner
-A dry, soft cloth.
Do not use a cloth dampened with alcohol.
Re-adhesion of dirt may occur.
• For cleaning the fiber connector of the Sensor Controller, use the optional item ZW-XCL or a commercially available
fiber cleaner.
• When you remove the fiber cable from Sensor Controller, make sure to attach the protective cap. If you do not
attach it, it is possible that some contaminants may have adhered and may cause degradation of performance.
• Calibrate the Sensor Head after removing and inserting an optical fiber.
• To check if the fiber is broken, verify the following points:
• When you cannot views the right spot even place within measurement range an object which diffuses light, i.e.
paper while connect the fiber cable correctly, the fiber cable may be damaged. In this case, need to repair. Contact
your OMRON representative.
When inspect a object with high reflectivity, visually check may not be allowable. Use and conform a diffused
object.
