Page 14
§ Use in Countries Other than the U.S. Replace the warning label in Japanese on the sensor main body with the attached EN/IEC warning label upon use in countries other than the U.S. Attach the label in the area where the original Japanese warning label was provided.
Warning Labels Z300-S5T Z300-S2T Z300-S10 Z300-S60 Be sure to attach correct warning labels; do not attach FDA labels by mistake. Regulations and standards The Z300 conforms to the following EC directives and EN standards. 1. EC Directives EMC Directive: No.89//336/EEC 2.
(4) Use crimp terminals for wiring. Do not connect the power supply wires by just twisting stranded wire and connecting directly to the terminals. (5) Use the wire and crimp terminals of the proper sizes as specified in this man- ual.
PRECAUTIONS Precautions for Correct Use Please observe the following precautions to prevent failure to operate, malfunctions, or undesirable effects on product performance. Components The Sensor and Console connected to the Z300-VC10V4 Controller must be products designed specifically for the Z300.

0 V line in the internal circuits. 1. Do not ground the video monitor. 2. Do not ground the metallic part of the connector. 3. Secure the video monitor with plastic screws if it is being mounted to a metal- lic surface.
Confirming Package Contents Check the contents of the package as soon as you receive the Z300. It is extremely rare for compo- nents to be missing, but contact the nearest OMRON representative if any of the following items are missing.

Connects to external devices such as a personal computer or PLC. Turn ON according to the light density at the Sensor. If LDOFF is input via the terminal block or RS-232C, or if the Sensor is not con- nected, all of the indicators flash.
Waveform measurement results can also be dis- played on the monitor. The mode used for this type of operation is called "Visual Mode." If the DIP switch on the Controller is set to VISUAL, the Z300 goes into Visual Mode when the power supply is turned ON.

CHECK When Using the Z300-S60 - When using the Extension Cable, set the length of the Extension Cable in SYS/ Environment. This reduces errors due to the extended cable length. For details, refer to page 140 in the Operation Manual...
Page 33
The Z300 can be used without a monitor but with a Linear Sensor Controller connected. In this case, the Z300's menus cannot be used. The way in which the Z300's analog outputs are used is set at the Linear Sensor Controller.
The various connectors on the Controller are capped when the Controller is shipped. When a connector is not being used, leave the cap in place or replace the cap to protect against dust, dirt, and static electricity. Connecting a Console Connect the console Z300-KP to the Controller's console connector.
Page 35
Connect the sensor to the Controller's sensor connector. Three ferrite cores (supplied with the sensor) must be attached to the sensor cable. Two ferrite cores can be connected within 100 mm from the sensor and within 100 mm from the controller's connector, respectively.
2-4-1 Crimp Terminals and Cables The terminal block uses M3 terminal screws. Use appropriate crimp terminals for M3 screws as shown below. Tighten the screws to a torque of between 0.5 and 0.6 N•m. After wiring, confirm that the wiring is correct.
Page 37
- Wire the Power Supply Unit independently of other devices. In particular, keep the power supply wired separately from inductive loads. - Keep the power supply wiring as short as possible. (10 m max.) - If UL recognition is required, use a UL class II power supply.
2-5 Terminal Block Connections 2-5-1 Crimp Terminals and Cables The terminal block uses M3 terminal screws. Use appropriate crimp terminals for M3 screws as shown below. Tighten the screws to a torque of between 0.5 and 0.6 N•m. Notice Cover the terminal blocks with the Terminal Block Protection Covers. Uncov- ered terminal blocks can result in electric shock.

Mounting the Sensor Section 3-2 3-2 Mounting the Sensor Up to 2 Sensors can be connected per Controller. When using the Z300 in Non- visual Mode, however, only 1 Sensor can be connected. WARNING Do not to expose your eyes to the laser radiation either directly or indi- rectly (i.e., after reflection from a mirror or shiny surface).
Page 55
3-2-3 Mounting Orientation Boundaries between Different Colors and Textures If there are parts of the workpiece where the color or texture are significantly dif- ferent, measurement errors can be reduced by mounting the Sensor in the way shown below, i.e., so that the plane containing the emission axis and the recep- tion axis is parallel to the boundary between the contrasting sections of the workpiece.
Page 56
Section 3-2 Mounting Near Walls Errors will occur if light reflected off a wall surface is received by the Sensor. If it is not possible to mount the Sensor away from the wall, mount in the way shown below, i.e., so that the plane containing the emission axis and the reception axis is parallel to the wall surface.
Page 57
When measuring rotating workpieces, the influence of position displacement and blurring of the rotating workpiece can be minimized by mounting the Sensor so that the plane containing the emission axis and the reception axis is parallel to the axis of rotation.

Section 4-1 4-1 Restrictions If the DIP switch setting is changed to NON VISUAL, the Controller's settings can be changed using the DIP switch without having to connect a monitor or a console. Notice Turn OFF the power supply before changing the DIP switch settings.
Analog output response time Notice Turn OFF the power supply before changing the DIP switch settings. 4-2-1 Switching to Non-visual Mode Set when a Linear Sensor Controller is connected instead of a monitor and console. Making this setting enables the other DIP switch settings.
Section 4-2 4-2-2 Selecting the Sensor Setting Status The analog output appropriate for the mounting status is set. Measurement at close to the actual dimensions is possible immediately after mounting. Adjust the mounting position while monitoring the values of the Linear Sensor Controller connected.

The response time is a measure of the speed with which analog displacement output responds to a discrete change in the displacement amount. It is the time taken for the output level to change from 10% to 90% of the total change in level when rising or falling.
Section 4-2 4-2-5 Selecting the Output Method for Measurement Failure Select the way outputs operate when measurement is not possible due, for example, to excessive or insufficient light density. Select the output method while monitoring the values of the Linear Sensor Controller connected.
SECTION 5 Maintenance This section explains maintenance procedures for ensuring the Z300's performance.
