Studying the V400-F Features and Functions of V400-F This fixed type 2D code reader provides advanced reading functions and is designed for easy operation by anyone. It reads 2D codes directly marked on boards and metal materials. Two types of code reader are available: the V400-F250/350, whose lens and light are integrated into one compact body, and the V400-F050, to which a C-mount lens can be attached to enable use of various lights.

Reading can be started without monitor. Programmable controller Various Retry Functions p.41) Retry can be performed not only with different exposure time, but also with Power two or more reading conditions that supply are switched automatically.
Two condition switching methods are available: one which determines the order of the conditions to be used automatically according to the frequency of their use, and the other that switches them according to the registered order. Combining with the retry settings that are made for each reading condition enables various retry settings.
Saves up to 28 past read images p.53) This allows you to identify the errors that occurred, by checking the saved past images. Supports NPN/PNP by simply exchanging the cable. Allows direct power supply to the monitor. Use of the monitor cable (V400-WM0) and LCD monitor (F150-M05L-2D) enables the V400-F to supply power to the monitor, making settings monitoring and maintenance easy.
There are two mounting methods: “DIN track mounting” and “Base mounting”. Field of Vision and Distance from the Code • An accurate image will not be obtained if the installation distance is too long or too short. Always use the installation distance given below.

*2: The moving shift tolerance is 10% of the cell size. Example: When V = 60 mm/s, C = 1.6 mm, M = 16, A = 10 mm, N = 512, R = 300 ms and L = 30 mm The exposure time is calculated as follows, which will not cause problems with reading.
(Reading time: R) (Max. line speed: V) If the reading time does not meet this formula, the code will be outside the field of vision so the code cannot be read even if the requirement of exposure time is satisfied.
If they get dirty or scratched, image pickup will deteriorate, disabling code reading. •Do not touch the lens and light cover surface with your fingers or any pointed object. •The code reader must be used in a dust-free environment.
