1 General Information and Safety
1.1 Safety notes
Before starting the ACR 300i, read these instructions carefully, ensure that you have understood them and comply
with them at all times.
The ACR 300i should only be connected by a qualified electrician.
Do not tamper with or make alterations on the unit!
The ACR 300i is not a safety-critical component and its use is prohibited under conditions where the safety of per-
sons may depend on its function.
The IP address set for the ACR 300i should be marked on the enclosed label. After installation, stick the label on the
sensor in a clearly visible position.
The IP address of the ACR 300i must be used once only in any network.
For use with any listed (CYJV) cable assembly.
1.2 Components supplied
lACR 300i including integrated illumination (or as version with C-Mount lens without illumination)
lCD-ROM with Computer software and Operating instructions
lData sheet, mounting clamp, allen key, screwdriver and protective cap for Ethernet plug.
1.2.1 Software Setup Download
The PC Software Setup is also available at www.leuze.com/en/usa in section Download/Software.
In order to reduce the size of the installation files two setup files are provided:
1. ACR 300i_PC-Software_VX_X_X_X.exe:
This is the regular setup file, containing the current software release. This is valid for all vision sensors with
firmware version 1.18.X.X or higher.
1.3 Requirements for use
Configuration of the ACR 300i requires a standard PC/notebook (at least Pentium 4, 1GHz and 1 GB RAM, with
Microsoft Windows 7 or Windows 10) with network connection or a network with TCP-IP protocol. We recommend a
Pentium 4 Dual Core > 2GHz and 2GB RAM, for Windows 7 or Windows 10. We recommend a screen resolution of
min. 1024 x 768 pixels. A basic knowledge of computers is also required. The ACR 300i is supplied with the IP
address 192.168.100.100 and a subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The ACR 300i is operated independently of a PC or
PLC. A PC/notebook is only necessary for configuration of the ACR 300i. Attention must be paid to sufficient and
constant object illumination to ensure reproducible results and avoid malfunction. Reflections or varying incident light
may affect detection results. If necessary, use an external light source and/or light-screening / shrouding devices to
exclude incident light.
