FJ Series (Camera & Software Vision Package) PC Vision System Camera Setup Guide (Z428-E1)

Danger of burns. Do not touch the case while the sensor is running or just after power is
turned OFF, since it remains extremely hot.
Safety Precautions
8FJ Series (Camera & Software Vision Package) PC Vision System Camera Setup Guide (Z428-E1)

Precautions for Safe Use
Be sure to respect following items for safety.
Power Supply and Wiring
• Supply power from a DC power supply that prevents the occurrence of high voltage (safety ultra-low
voltage circuit). (Recommended product: S8VS-03012 (OMRON))
• Before wiring the camera cable (power supply and I/O), attach a crimping terminal. Do not directly
connect the merely twisted wires to terminals.
• When supplying power from an external power source, the power supply voltage specified in this
manual must be used.
• Do not connect the power supply with polarity reversed.
• Do not short-circuit load on the open collector output.
• Apply load not exceeding the rating.
• Insulate unnecessary signal wires and avoid contact with the others. If the Output signal comes in
contact with the Power_IN signal, a failure may occur.
• After wiring the cables, confirm if the power supply is appropriate, if there is miswiring such as short-
circuit of load, if the load current is appropriate, and if FG is connected appropriately. Otherwise, the
product may be broken due to miswiring etc.
• When using a PoE-compliant device, it must conform to IEEE802.3af.
• Be sure to use an individual power supply for the product. Do not share the power supply with other
products.
Mounting the Camera
• Firmly tighten screws for mounting the Camera.
Tightening torque M3 screw: 0.54N·m
• To use this product in an environment where poorly ventilated or that exceeds the upper limit of the
ambient environment temperature, take heat dissipation measures such as attaching it to a metal
plate so that the surface temperature of the camera should be 64 degrees or less.
• Install the product so that excessive stress should not be applied to the camera cable. Otherwise the
cable may be disconnected and proper measurement may not be possible.
Grounding
In order to prevent the product from becoming inoperable or malfunction, and to prevent other adverse
effects to the performance or equipment, please observe the following.
• Perform the followings so that the outer shell of the power and I/O cable connector should be
grounded.
- The FG wire of the camera cable (power supply and I/O) must be JIS class-D grounded (ground
resistance of 100 Ω or less). [1]
- The ground line should be short as much as possible.
- Provide the grounding point dedicated to the camera cable (power and I/O). Sharing the grounding
point or grounding to a pillar of the building may affect adversely.
• Perform the followings so that the outer shell of the Ethernet connectors should be grounded.
Precautions for Safe Use
9
FJ Series (Camera & Software Vision Package) PC Vision System Camera Setup Guide (Z428-E1)

- Make sure that the external device's Ethernet connector shell to which the camera cable (LAN) FJ-
VSG (optional) is connected should be connected to the FG terminal of the external device. [2]
- To connect the camera to an external device such as a laptop computer that does not have an FG
terminal, do not connect the camera cable (LAN) directly to the device. Use an Ethernet hub for
which the outer shell of its connector is connected to the FG terminal in between the device and the
camera.
- Be sure to ground the FG terminal of any external device to which the camera is connected. [3]
• Perform grounding so that the FG of the camera and that of the external device should be at the
same potential. A potential difference may occur between the camera and the external device de-
pending on the grounding method, and current may flow along the dotted path as shown below, re-
sulting in a potential malfunction.
Others
• Use only the dedicated camera cable. If the device is turned on with the non-dedicated product con-
nected, the device may be damaged, causing high temperature.
• This product does not support camera-mounted lighting controllers (FL-TCC£££, FLV-TCC£) and
lighting (FL-MD£££MC). Do not connect to the connector for power supply and I/O connector on
the back of the Camera.
• Do not try to disassemble, repair, or modify this product.
• When an abnormal condition occurs, immediately stop operation and turn off the product. Contact
an OMRON's local office or sales office.
• When disposing the product, dispose it as industrial waste.
Precautions for Safe Use
10 FJ Series (Camera & Software Vision Package) PC Vision System Camera Setup Guide (Z428-E1)

Precautions for Correct Use
In order to prevent the product from becoming inoperable or malfunction, and to prevent other adverse
effects to the performance or equipment, please observe the following.
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 metallic particles
• A location not exposed to direct vibration or impact.
• Reflection of intense light (such as other laser beams or electric arc-welding machines)
• A location not near a heating appliance or exposed to direct sunlight.
• Water, oil, or chemical fumes or spray
• A location not exposed to strong magnetic/electric fields.
• A location not near a high-voltage device or power device.
Connecting Cable
• Be sure to turn off the power before disconnecting the cables.
• To attach the camera cable (LAN) FJ-VSG (optional), tighten the fixing screws with the recommend-
ed torque (0.15N·m). Excessive force on the camera connector may cause malfunction.
• For information on specifications of Camera cable (power supply, I/O) FJ-VSP (sold separately), see
the pin assignment table described later. Excessive force on the camera connector may cause mal-
function.
• When not using the Camera cable (power supply, I/O) FJ-VSP (sold separately), perform wiring so
as not to be affected by other wiring or devices.
• For information on specifications of Camera cable (power supply, I/O) FJ-VSP2 (sold separately),
see the pin assignment table described later.
• When not using the Camera cable (power supply, I/O) FJ-VSP2 (sold separately), perform wiring so
as not to be affected by other wiring or devices.
• Attach the accessory ferrite cores to both ends of the camera cable (power and I/O) FJ-VSP2 (op-
tional).
• Do not use camera cables longer than the specified length.
Optical axis of the Camera
• The optical axis may vary product by product. Therefore, when installing the Camera, always check
the center of the image displayed on the monitor. The optical axis of this product may vary over a
couple of pixels due to the variation of ambient temperature because of the material characteristics.
Precautions for Correct Use
11
FJ Series (Camera & Software Vision Package) PC Vision System Camera Setup Guide (Z428-E1)

Maintenance
• If a large dust attaches to the image sensor, use the blower brush (for the camera lens) to blow it off.
Do not blow it off with your exhaled air.
• Do not use thinner, alcohol, benzene, acetone, or kerosene to clean his product.
• When the lens is not being mounted, be sure to attach the C mount cap to the lens mounting part. If
a dust attached to the image sensor, the product may sense incorrectly or be broken.
• If you do not use the power and I/O cable connector on the back of the camera, always attach the
cap for the connector.
• Wipe off dirt on this product with a soft cloth gently.
• Before performing maintenance and/or checkup, always turn off the power. Failing to do so may re-
sult in electric shock.
Image sensor
For this product, a line may appear depending on the measurement condition or sensitivity because of
the specification of the image sensor. However, this is not a fault or failure of the product. In addition,
although there may be multiple defective pixels, this is not a fault or failure of the product. Use the
product as confirming the actual image.
Others
• Never attempt to wrap the camera body with cloth, for example during operation, for example to try
to prevent the temperature inside the camera from rising.
•If security software is installed on the PC, the camera connection may be interrupted. Disable the
security software settings temporarily and check if the camera can be connected.
