Precautions for Correct Use

Please observe the following precautions to prevent failure to operate, malfunctions, or
undesirable effects on product performance.
(1) Installation Site
Do not install the product in locations subjected to the following conditions:
• Ambient temperature outside the rating
• Rapid temperature fluctuations (causing condensation)
• Relative humidity outside the range of 35 to 85 %
• Presence of corrosive or flammable gases
• Presence of dust, salt, or iron particles
• Direct vibration or shock
• Reflection of intense light (such as other laser beams or electric arc-welding
machines)
• Direct sunlight or near heaters
• Water, oil, or chemical fumes or spray
• Strong magnetic or electric field
(2) Power Supply and Wiring
• When using a commercially available switching regulator, make sure that the FG ter-
minal is grounded.
• If surge currents are present in the power lines, connect surge absorbers that suit the
operating environment.
• Before turning ON the power after the product is connected, make sure that the power
supply voltage is correct, there are no incorrect connections (e.g. load short-circuit)
and the load current is appropriate. Incorrect wiring may result in breakdown of the
product.
• Before connecting/disconnecting the Sensor Head, make sure that the Smart Sensor
is turned OFF. The Smart Sensor may break down if the Sensor Head is connected or
disconnected while the power is ON.
• Use the Extension Cable (provided) for extending the cable between the Sensor Head
and Sensor Controller. The total length varies according to the type of Extension Cable.
- Extension Cable: ZS-XC_A: within 10 m (including Sensor Head cable. Extension
Cable cannot be daisy-chained.)
- Extension Cable: ZS-XC_B(R): within 22 m (including Sensor Head. Up to two
Extension Cables can be daisy-chained.)
- Extension cable for a long distance ZS-XC_ _CR: within 27 m (including Sensor
Head. Digital equalizer ZS-XEQ and the Digital equalizer connection cable ZS-
XC02D are necessary. The extension cable cannot be daisy-chained.)
• The cable may break at locations when it is made to bend. So, use the robot cable
type Extension Cable (ZS-XC5BR, ZS-XC_ _CR).
• Use only combinations of Sensor Heads and Sensor Controllers specified in this man-
ual.
