Safety Precautions
16 Vision System FZ5 series Hardware Setup Manual (Z423)
Never connect the AC power supply with this product. When the AC power
supply is connected, it causes the electric shock and a fire.
A lithium battery is built into the Sensor Controller and may occasionally
combusted, explode, or burn if not treated properly. Dispose of the Sensor
Controller as industrial waste, and never disassemble, apply pressure that
would deform, heat to 100°C or higher, or incinerate the Sensor Controller.
Since camera that can be connected with this product emits a visible light
that may have an adverse effect on the eyes, do not stare directly into the
light emitted from the LED. If a specular object is used, take care not to allow
reflected light enter your eyes.
Do not touch the terminals while the power supply is ON.
Doing so may result in electrical shock.
Please take external safety measures so that the system as a whole should
be on the safe side even if a failure of a sensor controller or an error due to
an external factor occurred. An abnormal operation may result in serious
accident.
Please take fail-safe measures on your side in preparation for an abnormal
signal due to signal conductor disconnection and/or momentary power inter-
ruption. An abnormal operation may result in a serious accident.
CAUTION
Danger of burns. Do not touch the case while the LED is ON or just after
power is turned OFF, since it remains extremely hot.

• Make sure to use the product with the power supply voltage specified by catalogue, this manual, or
Instruction sheet.
• Do not connect AC power supply.
If AC power source is connected, possible to cause of failure.
• Use the appropriate wire size.
• Keep the power supply wires as short as possible.
• Use a DC power supply with safety measures against high-voltage spikes (safety extra low-voltage
circuits on the secondary side).
• Check the following confirmations again before turning on the power supply.
• Is the voltage and polarity of the power supply correct? (24 VDC)
• Is the load of the output signal not short-circuited?
• Is the load current of the output signal appropriate?
• There is no the mistake found in wiring?
• Is the voltage and polarity of the Encoder power (ENC0_VDD/GND ENC1_VDD/GND) supply?
(5 VDC)
• Confirm the internal circuit is written in this manual or Instruction Sheet.
• When the connected camera to the Sensor Control comes packaged with a base, make sure to
mount with the base. Since the enclosure of the camera main body made of metals is short-circuited
with the internal circuit, the internal circuit might be short-circuited with FG if no base is used, so that
failures or malfunctions may be caused.
• Perform Class D grounding (with a grounding resistance of 100 Ω or less).
Keep the ground line as short as possible by setting the grounding point as close as possible.
Ground the FH Sensor Controller independently. If sharing the ground line with other devices or con-
necting it with a building beam, the controller might be adversely affected.
• Check wiring again before turning on the FH Sensor Controller.
• Do not ground the plus (+) terminal of the 24 VDC power source when the following Sensor Control-
lers are connected to the FH-SC12/FH-SM12 (12 megapixels). Doing so may cause a short circuit of
the internal circuit, resulting in a malfunction.
