Features
Intelligent Light Source
Versatile lighting control and a dome shape that minimizes exter-
nal interference provide stable images for 2-dimensional code
reading.
Reduces the background effects of metal processed parts.
A Variety of Lighting Methods
The lighting direction and intensity can be changed. In addition,
coaxial lighting is available with the F150-SLC20. Optimal light-
ing methods can be set for a wide variety of workpieces.
Lighting Controlled from Menus
•The lighting block and intensity can be controlled from the Control-
ler menu. Settings can be easily changed without having to touch
the light itself.
•Because light is handled as scene data, the lighting conditions can
be varied to match model changes on mixed-product lines.
•The Controller manages light settings numerically, for accurate
reproducibility.
Two-camera Unit
Two cameras can be switched by a single Controller.

Use this pattern to detect the 2-dimensional code position. The
finder pattern is different for each code.
Easy Image Analysis
The image analysis mode helps to detect the cause of marking
problems.
Store up to 24 Defect Images
Use the stored images to confirm defect types.
Note: Stored images are kept until the power is turned OFF.

Lighting Methods
Select the appropriate lighting method for the material of the marked object.
Back Lighting
Codes on transparent objects such as glass PCBs can be read
by detecting the contrast between transmitted and blocked light.
Applications: Transparent objects such as LCD glass
Reflected Lighting
Ring Lighting
For codes printed onto paper or other light-diffusing objects, ring
lights can be used to illuminate the marked object. The differ-
ence in the reflection factors of the background and the marking
enables stable detection.
Applications: Paper labels and corrugated cardboard
Oblique Lighting
Ring lighting close to the marked object
For codes inscribed with a laser maker onto PCBs and other rel-
atively glossy surfaces, oblique lighting provides stable detection
by distinguishing between regular and diffuse reflected light.
Applications: Direct marking on PCBs and electronic parts
Coaxial Lighting
For codes marked directly onto wafers and other mirror-like sur-
faces, a stable image with few shadows from surface irregulari-
ties can be obtained from the marked object by using coaxial
lighting, because it detects only regular reflected light. (The sur-
face of the object must be perpendicular to the optical axis.)
Applications: Mirror-like objects such as wafers

Data Capacity
Data Matrix ECC200
The relation between matrix size (number of cells) and data
capacity is shown in the table below. In this example, the matrix
size is 12 ×12 cells.
QR Code Model 2
The relation between matrix size (number of cells) and data
capacity is shown in the table below. In this example, the matrix
size is 21 ×21 cells.
Note: 1. Maximum Data Capacity
The maximum amount of data that can be stored in a code varies with the code size. In other words, if there is a large amount of data to be stored, then the
code size must also be large. The maximum data capacity will also vary with the type of characters used. With a QR Code or Data Matrix, the numeric ca-
pacity (numbers only) is larger than the alpha numeric capacity (numbers and letters), which is in turn larger than the Japanese Kanji (Shift JIS) capacity.
The order and combinations of different characters also affects the data capacity.
2. The matrix size of a QR Code is indicated by the version. "Version 1" indicates that a QR Code contains (the minimum) 21 cells both horizontally and vertically.
The larger the version number, the larger the number of cells per side.

Cameras with Intelligent Light Source
Note: These models consist of an F150-S1A Camera with Lens and Intelligent
Light Source.
Using the Camera with Intelligent Light Source or Camera
with Light Source
•The Lens has a fixed focus. Because there is a certain amount of
variation in the field of view and focus of each Lens, the mounting
distance must be adjusted each time the Lens or Camera is
replaced.
•The camera mounting distance is approximate. Use a mounting
method that allows the distance to be adjusted back and forth in
the direction of the 2-dimensional code.
2-Dimensional Code Reader Distance vs. Field of
view
Mount the Camera at a distance that will provide accurate imag-
ing of the 2-dimensional codes.

Optical Graph
Point: Based on the necessary field of view and workpiece, select the Lens and Extension Tube to suit the working distance (WD).
Lengthening the Extension Tube lowers the brightness, and increasing distance WD increases the depth of field.
Note: Slight differences exist between cameras. When mounting the Lens, provide a means of adjusting the camera mounting distance. For example, to obtain a cam-
era mounting distance WD of about 30 mm with a field of view of 10 mm, mount a 5-mm Extension Tube to the 3Z4S-LEC1614A.
Reading the Optical Graph
The X axis of the graph shows field of view L in millimeters, and
the Y axis shows the camera mounting distance A in millimeters.
The curves on the graph indicate different Lenses, and the “t”
values indicate the lengths of the Extension Tubes.
