٨Procedure
٨
٨
During teaching, the FZ-10 series resolves the color projected by the
spot into red, green, and blue components which are processed as nu-
merical values and stored into the EEPROM memory. If, during teaching,
the spot area is not filled by one uniform color, such as
when the target objects are smaller than the spot area,
or are partly projected upon, then colors other than the
one you want to detect may also be sensed. Make sure
that objects fill the whole spot area during teaching, as
well as, sensing.
The taught data is saved in the EEPROM even when the sensor power
supply is switched off. However, the guaranteed rewrite operations are
limited to 100,000 times because of its lifetime.
To manipulate the DIP switches, use a pair of tweezers, etc., with a tip
width of 0.8mm approx.

After the teaching, test the sensing. If the sensor identifies other similar
colors that you do not want to detect, set the tolerance to be finer.
(Refer to '4. Setting tolerance' for more details.)
ԛ Place the sample object, bearing the reference color, under the fiber head at the
setting distance. The surface of the sample object must face the fiber head at
right angle to the beam axis, and the reference color must fill the whole spot area.
Press the teaching button and release it. Then, the sensor recognizes
the reference color as the criterion and starts sensing.

The sensor recognizes the first com-

The traveling speed must satisfy the
following two conditions.
After the sample object moves away,
the sensor takes 50ms approx. to
complete the teaching. The sensor is
not operable in this period.
The sensor automatically starts sensing af-
ter recognizing the reference color as the
criterion, and the power indicator (green)
stops blinking and lights up continuously.

In case teaching is not properly done.
The power indicator (green) keeps blinking. The sensor still stays in the
waiting state.
Make sure of the perpendicularity of the sample object to the beam axis, the
setting distance between the fiber head and the sample, the time duration
for which the sample passes through the beam, and the consistency of the
background color during the teaching. Then, run the sample object again.
If your reference color is similar to the background color, the teaching
may fail if the tolerance is set at the 16th grade (ًmark). Make the tol-
erance of the background color narrower with the tolerance adjuster
from the 1st to the 15th grade according to the contrast between these
colors. Then, run the sample object again.
(Refer to '4. Setting tolerance' for more details.)
If you want to change to manual-teaching while the sensor is in the auto-
teaching waiting state, set the setting mode selection switch on 'MANUAL'.
The sensor enters the teaching error state with the operation indicator (red) and
the power indicator (green) blinking alternately. Now, carry out manual-teaching.
To stop teaching during the auto-teaching waiting state, switch off the
power supply once.
If the output operation mode switch and the timer operation mode switch are
operated during the auto-teaching waiting state, although the operation indi-
cator operates, the output does not change till auto-teaching is completed.

࡮Setting timer operation The FZ-10 series is incorporated with an OFF-delay timer fixed for 40ms
approx. The OFF-delay timer operates when the timer operation mode
switch is set on 'OFD'. Since the output signal is extended by a fixed
time interval, this function is useful when the connected device has a
slow response time or if small objects are being detected, resulting in a
short output signal width.

Setting tolerance
The tolerance adjuster determines the tolerance
of equivalence with respect to the reference color
in 16 grades.
Set the arrow mark of the adjuster to the desired
grade from 1st to 16th using the adjusting screw-
driver.
When the grade is changed, the output is turned ON, once, for resetting.
Even if the grade is changed, the reference color taught earlier does not
change until the sensor is taught again.
When performing auto-teaching, it is possible that teaching may fail de-
pending upon the tolerance grade. If this happens, change the tolerance
grade and repeat the teaching.
For 16th to 5th grade, color identification is done based upon the color
(red, green, blue) component ratio. For 4th to 1st grade (precise range),
brightness is also considered for color identification. Hence, when the
adjusterissettotheFINEside(4thto1stgrade),minutedifferencein
gloss or color shades are also detected.
٨
࡮
࡮
࡮
Tolerance in precise range (4th to 1st grade)
Within the precise range, color is identified in all aspects of hue, chroma,
and lightness. Hence, the sensor can discriminate the reference color
from others even if there is a subtle difference in glossiness or density.
After the tolerance is set within the precise range, the sensor should be
used under an ambient temperature of +15 to +35. Also, periodical
teaching should be done to maintain the stable sensing conditions.
Before teaching, wait for a warm-up time of 10min. approx. after switch-
ing on the power supply.
Please take care that extraneous light or vibration may affect the detect-
ability.

Notes: 1)
2)
Since fiber FD-L51 (standard type) is easily affected by specular reflection,
it is possible that teaching may not be properly done or sensing may be un-
stable if objects of high reflectivity (mirror, plated objects, copper foil, etc.)
are sensed. When such objects are to be sensed, please use FD-L52 (high
precision type) or FD-L53 (extremely small spot type) and make sure that
the projected optical beam is perpendicular to the object surface.
The amplifier should be used under the ambient temperature of +15 to +35
when the tolerance adjuster is set from the 1st grade of the 4th grade, which
provide fine color resolution.

This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.
Take care that wrong wiring will damage the sensor.
Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that
the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an
actual ground.
In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator, inverter motor,
etc.) is used in the vicinity of this product, connect the frame ground
(F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an actual ground.
Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or
put them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to
induction.
Do not use during the initial transient time (0.5 sec.) after the power
supply is switched on.
Take care that the sensor is not directly exposed to fluorescent lamp
from a rapid-starter lamp, a high frequency lighting device or sunlight
etc., as it may affect the sensing performance.
Extension up to total 100m, or less, is possible with 0.3mm2, or more,
cable. However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as
possible.
Make sure that stress by forcible bend or pulling is not applied to the
sensor cable joint.
This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
Do not use this sensor in places having excessive vapor, dust, etc., or
where it may come in contact with corrosive gas, etc.
Take care that the sensor does not come in contact with water, oil,
grease, organic solvents, such as, thinner etc., strong acid or alkaline.
After the settings, make sure to fit the case cover on the amplifier
before use. Do not move or bend the fiber cable. If so, the operation
may become unstable.
Periodical teaching should be done to maintain stable sensing
conditions.
