SECTION 1
Before Operation
1-1 Getting Start
This product is a vision sensor for performing image processing measurement
through a controller of objects photographed using a camera.By connecting
an external device such as a PC, measurement commands can be input and
measurement results can be output from the external device.
1-1-1 Basic Configuration of FZ3 Series
*1: The touch pen is an accessory of a controller.
*2: FZ-SC2M and FZ-S2M cannot be connected with the FZ3-3 /FZ3-H3 controllers.
*3: Lenses for small-size cameras are required for small-size 300,000-pixel cameras.
*4: FZ-SC5M and FZ-S5M can only be connected with the FZ3-70 /FZ3-H70 controllers.

1-2-1 Preparing Controllers
Please check that the controller is switched on and that the Main screen is
displayed.
The first time the program is started up, the Language Setting window is dis-
played, so select the language.
1-2-2 Adjusting Cameras
1. Tap [] of „Image mode“ in [Image display] of the Main screen Control ar-
ea, and select „Through“.
The through images captured from the camera are viewed in the Image
Display area.
Note The same operation is available by tapping [View] - [Image mode] - [Through].
2. Adjust the position of measurement objects so that they display at the cen-
ter of the monitor.
3. Adjust the focal distance of the lens.
When using an auto-focus camera or an intelligent camera, focus and the
iris can be automatically adjusted.
Note If a camera is used together with a lens, turn the focus ring of the lens to
adjust the focus.
The light intensity of an intelligent camera can be adjusted from the controller.
Important When using a small-size digital camera, check that the model and serial num-
ber of the camera head and camera amplifier match.When a camera head
and camera amplifier of different models and serial numbers are connected,
they may not operate correctly.
