Before Reading This Manual
Thank you for purchasing the IMAGECHECKER PV500.
This manual describes information on the hardware such as how to install and wire and the software such as how
to set the functions. Read this User’s Manual carefully before use.
Safety Precautions
To ensure that you use this product correctly, read this User’s Manual thoroughly before use. Make sure that you
fully understand the product and information on safe.
WARNING
Critical situations that could lead to user’s death or serious injury are assumed by mishandling of the product:
•Do not use this product in areas with inflammable gas. It could lead to an explosion.
•Exposing this product to excessive heat or open flames could lead to damage to the lithium battery or other
electronic parts.
•Do not store a lens in the locations subject to direct sunlight. It could lead to smoke generation.
•Do not look at the sun through a lens. It could lead to blindness.
•Always take precautions to ensure the overall safety of your system, so that the whole system remains safe
in the event of failure of this product or other external factor.
CAUTION
Critical situations that could lead to user’s injury or only property damage are assumed by mishandling of the
product:
•Do not dismantle or remodel the product. It could lead to excessive exothermic heat or smoke generation.
•Do not touch the terminal while turning on electricity. It could lead to an electric shock.
•Do not allow foreign matters such as liquid, flammable materials, metals to go into the inside of the product.
It could lead to excessive exothermic heat or smoke generation.
•Do not bend the cables forcibly, place a heavy object on them or bring them close to a thermal appliance. It
could lead to an electric shock or smoke generation.
•To prevent excessive exothermic heat or smoke generation, use this product at the values less than the
maximum of the characteristics and performance that are assured in these specifications.
•Use the external devices to function the emergency stop and interlock circuit.
•Connect the wires or connectors securely. The loose connection could lead to excessive exothermic heat
or smoke generation.
•Do not undertake construction (such as connection and disconnection) while the power supply is on. It
could lead to an electric shock.

Precautions before Use
Installation Environment
Avoid installing and operating the PV500 in the following locations:
•Location with direct sunlight or environmental temperatures that exceed a range of the “operating
ambient temperature” for each product.
•Locations with a relative humidity exceeding a range of the “operating ambient humidity” for each
product or with a condensing due to a sharp temperature change.
•Locations with an atmosphere containing corrosive gases or flammable gases.
•Locations subject the main unit to direct vibration or impact.
•Locations with a lot of fine particles, iron filings or salt.
•Locations where the product can become wet with water, oil or chemicals.
•Locations with an atmosphere likely to contain organic solvents (such as benzene, paint thinner, and
alcohol) or strongly alkaline materials (such as ammonia and caustic soda).
•Locations where a load applies onto the unit.
•Locations near the devices that generate large switching surges, high-voltage wires and devices,
power-driven lines and devices, and transmitting devices, such as radios.
Static Electricity
•In dry environment, high voltages of static electricity might be generated. When you touch the product, you
should always discharge the accumulated static electricity through your body by touching a grounded
metal surface.
Cleaning
•Never use thinners or similar solvents, as they may dissolve the board and lead to colors to run.
Power Supply Unit and Power Sequence
•Use an insulated power supply with a built-in protection circuit. Applying an abnormal voltage might
damage the internal circuit. If you use a power supply unit without a protection circuit, supply power
through a protective device such as a fuse.
•Consider the power supply sequence so that the power supply unit for the PV500 can be turned off before
the one for the input/output is turned off.
If you turn the input/output power off before turning off PV500, the device will detect a change in the input
signal level and may malfunction.
Before Turning on the PV500
•Pay attentions to the followings when turning on the PV500 for the first time:
- Confirm no wiring waste or especially any conductive substance is on the printed circuit board.
- Confirm that the power wiring, input/output wiring and power supply voltage are correct.
- Confirm that the fixing and terminal screws are securely tightened.
General Cautions
•Use the keypad, camera, camera cables, monitor and a monitor cable of the product numbers specified by
Panasonic Industrial Devices SUNX Co., Ltd. A breakdown, damage or destruction by using any other
than the specified will not be covered by our guarantee.
•Do not change or set items that should not be as described in the manuals or the specifications.
Breakdown, damage or destruction resulting from changing or setting them will not be covered by our
guarantee.
•Do not perform a test of insulation resistance or withstand voltage between the power source or
input/output signals and the metallic part of connectors or camera cases.
•To avoid loss of data by accident, also save the setting data stored in PV500 into a PC or an external
storage media.
