responsible for damages and injury, which can occur due to false handling of the product and ignoring the
safety instructions. All warranty will be spoiled in this case.
2.1 Intended use
IDS NXT vision app-based sensors are to be used to capture images for visualization and image processing
tasks. The devices are designed for use in industrial environments.
Please comply with the requirements for the proper use of this product. Failure to do so will render the warranty
void.
· The product is not authorized for use in security relevant applications.If it used in security relevant
applications, the customer is responsible for the necessary approvals.
· This product is not a toy and should be kept and operated out of reach of children.
· If the product is modified or changed CE, FCC, and/or UL approval becomes invalid. In this case the

IP protection class for your product. The use under ambient conditions different from those specified in this
manual may result in damage of the product.
· Do not subject this product to direct sunlight, moisture or shock.
· Lay cables in such way that no one can step on or they do not represent a trip hazard.
· Before starting up, check if the electrical wiring corresponds to the specifications in this manual. Faulty
wiring (overvoltage, undervoltage) can result in a damage in the electronics.
2.3 Operation and power supply
WARNING! Non-approved power supplies for product operation may cause painful or dangerous electric shock.
Serious injury or death may occur. Use a power supply that meet the safety extra-low voltage (SELV) and
limited power source (LPS) requirements.
· In order to ensure electrical safety, we recommend using a shielded network cable or connecting the housing
to ground so that the housing is connected via the proper installation to ground.
CAUTION! Class 1 laser

* Only if IP65 cables are used. Not used electrical connections must be closed with fixed covering caps.
3.3 Notes on ambient conditions
· Avoid high air humidity levels and rapid temperature changes when using IDS NXT vision app-based sensors.
· Temperatures below +4 °C (+39 °F) combined with excessive relative air humidity levels can cause icing.
Provide sufficient heat dissipation so that the specified device temperature is not exceeded during operation. In
general, the following recommendations apply:
· For a passive heat dissipation, mount the IDS NXT vision app-based sensor on a thermally-conductive
surface like a metal plate or a heat sink.
· If necessary, provide an active cooling for example by means of a fan.
With increasing device temperatures, the image quality could be reduced due to thermal noise. It is
recommended to mount the IDS NXT vision app-based sensor to a heat-dissipating unit even if the device is
operated below the maximum specified temperature.

IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH recommends to adjust the power supply to the power requirement of
the device to limit overheating in case of short circuit. To ensure electrical safety, the power supply must meet
the requirements for LPS (Limited Power Source) according to EN 60950-1 or class 2 according to UL 1310.
Information on the power consumption of the each model can be found in the model data sheet.
Please keep in mind that a voltage drop will occur when you use long cables for power supply to the device.
Choose the size of the cable in such a way that the supply voltage available at the input of the device is at
least 12 V.

The output of the optocoupler can be used as an open collector or open emitter output. This means that the
output signal can be connected to ground or to the supply voltage. The output signal is active if the collector-
emitter switch is closed.

10.5 RS-232 wiring
The IDS NXT vegas has a serial interface of the type RS-232:
· Baud rate: 300 … 230 400 Baud
· Input voltage: max. ±15 V
· Output voltage: -5,7 V to +6.2 V
· Data rate: max. 250 kbps
· Compatible with TIA/EIA-232-F standard
· Permissible range according to RS-232 from ±3 V to ±15 V
The data rate of the serial interface depends on the capacity and length of the cable.
11 Setup
The setup of theIDS NXT vision app-based sensor is described in the separate manual "IDS NXT vegas: Setup".
12 Maintenance
Over time, dust, abrasion, etc. may accumulate on the front glass, resulting in poorer image quality. Check the
front glass in regular intervals depending on your operating conditions.
Cleaning the front glass
1. If possible, turn off the device for cleaning to avoid glare by the LEDs (see Integrated lighting,
Acknowledgement LED).
2. Use a clean and soft brush to clean the front glass.
3. If the dirt is more severe, you can clean the front glass with a clean, damp and lint-free wipe.
Avoid touching the front glass with your bare hand to avoid fingerprints.
Also remove dust from the housing to ensure sufficient heat dissipation.
