SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(Read these precautions before using this product.)
Before using this product, please read this manual and the relevant manuals carefully and pay full attention to safety to handle
the product correctly.
The precautions given in this manual are concerned with this product only. For the safety precautions for other modules, refer
to their respective user's manuals.
In this manual, the safety precautions are classified into two levels: " WARNING" and " CAUTION".
Under some circumstances, failure to observe the precautions given under " CAUTION" may lead to serious

Make sure that the end users read this manual and then keep the manual in a safe place for future reference.
[Installation Precautions]
[Security Precautions]
[Installation Precautions]
WARNING
●Before touching the code reader, be sure to touch an electric conductor such as grounded metal to
discharge the static electricity from your body. Otherwise, damage or faulty operation of the code
reader may occur.
●Be sure to install an I/O connector module to a main module. If not installed, dust or water-proof
performance may not be obtained.
WARNING
●To maintain the security (confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of the programmable controller and
the system against unauthorized access, denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, computer viruses, and other
cyberattacks from external devices via the network, take appropriate measures such as firewalls,
virtual private networks (VPNs), and antivirus solutions.
CAUTION
●IP protection rating is guaranteed only when all the connectors are connected with cables or sealed
with sealing caps.
●The cable is designed to connect with its key aligned with the keyway of the connector on the code
reader. Do not force the connections or damage may occur.
WARNING Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in
death or severe injury.
CAUTION Indicates that incorrect handling may cause hazardous conditions, resulting in
minor or moderate injury or property damage.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Observe the following precautions when installing and operating the code reader, to reduce the risk of injury or equipment
damage:
• This device requires the use of an LPS or NEC class 2 power supply.
• To reduce the risk of damage or malfunction due to over-voltage, line noise, electrostatic discharge (ESD), power surges, or
other irregularities in the power supply, route all cables away from high-voltage power sources.
• A code reader does not contain user-serviceable parts. Do not make electrical or mechanical modifications to a code
reader.
Unauthorized modifications may void your warranty.
• Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for regulatory compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
• If the bend radius or service loop is smaller than 10 times of the cable diameter, the cable may cause cable shielding
degradation, cable damage, or wear out in a short period. The bend radius must begin at least 152.4 mm from the
connector.
• Use this device in accordance with this manual.
CAUTION
●Use only 24 VDC and observe the indicated polarity. Otherwise, fire or damage may result.
CAUTION
●Do not clean the code reader with highly irritating or corrosive solvent such as caustic alkali solution,
methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and gasoline. Doing so may cause a fault.
CAUTION
●When disposing of this product, treat it as industrial waste.

3.1 Setup Flow Chart
1. Wiring
Wire a code reader by referring to 'Chapter 4 Section 4.1 Configuration and Wiring
of CF26/CF37 Series.' When communicating and controlling the code reader with
industrial protocols such as SLMP, only power lines need to be wired.
2. Connection
Connect to a personal computer by referring to 'Chapter 5 CONNECTING with
SetupTool.'
3. Installation
Install the code reader by referring to 'Chapter 7 Section 7.1 Installing a Code
Reader.' (When pre-assessment and tests are executed, install the code reader in
accordance with the results.) The distance from the code reader to an inspection
target as well as the direction and angle of the code reader may affect the read rate
significantly.
4. Tune
Tune the code reader by referring to 'Chapter 7 Section 7.2 Settings in Tune,'
'Appendix 4 Supplemental Remarks for Tuning (1),' or 'Appendix 5 Supplemental
Remarks for Tuning (2).' Mainly, auto-tuning can be executed by configuring
'Optimize Image' 'Tune.' In some cases, 'Exposure,' 'Gain,' 'Lightening pattern,'
and 'Image Filter' need to be adjusted manually.
5. Reading test
A code is read and a reading test is performed by pressing the [Trigger] icon. The
test can also be performed by enabling 'Test Mode'.
6. Other settings
Other settings such as a trigger type, multi-codes, data format, code quality, and
communication are configured by referring to 'Chapter 8 Application Steps' as
necessary.
7. Operation test
A code is read and the operation test of the whole code reader settings is performed
by a command from the [Trigger] icon or the external device.

Set an IP address for a personal computer and the code reader that matches each other to connect the code reader and
SetupTool.
An IP address is an ID number assigned to a device to be communicated with Ethernet. To establish communication with
devices, an IP address that matches with the IP address of each device needs to be set.
Set the IP address in accordance with the use situation.
• For using the code reader in a system, the IP address must be matched with that of a device to be communicated (mainly a
programmable controller). Select "Use Static IP Address" for the code reader and "Use the following IP address" for the
personal computer, and set the respective IP address according to a device to be communicated.
• For using the code reader by connecting only to the personal computer, the IP address of the code reader must be matched
with that of the personal computer.
• When "Obtain an IP address automatically" is selected for the personal computer, select "Use DHCP Server" for the code
reader.
• When "Use the following IP address" is selected for the personal computer, select "Use Static IP Address" for the code
reader and set the code reader IP address that matches with the personal computer.
• For an IP address to be set when "Use Static IP Address" or "Use the following IP address" is selected, the rightmost set of
numbers in the IP address must not be duplicated with that of the other devices. The setting of a subnet mask must be the
same for the entire devices.
