3 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
vicolux® smart light
vicolux® smart light is a new type of lighting technology, with which
Vision & Control GmbH has revolutionized industrial image processing.
vicolux® smart light technology does much more than the traditional
approach, in which a lighting controller only adjusts the brightness of a
lighting unit.
By continuously recording and evaluating sensor data from the lighting unit,
the vicolux®smart light lighting controller optimally adjusts the lighting to the
conditions, and provides a constant light.
3.1 Intended Use
The device is intended for use solely as an internal lighting element for
machine vision in the field of automation technology. The device may only be
used in enclosed areas.
Safe, trouble-free operation of this device is conditional upon its proper trans-
port and storage, mounting, installation, commissioning, operation and main-
tenance. The permissible environmental conditions must be maintained.
Limitation of liability
The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damage that occurs as a
result of:
• Use for any purpose, other than intended
• Non-compliance with this guide
• Opening the device and unauthorised modifications to the device
• Use of unskilled/untrained personnel
• Operating the device if it is not in its original, standard, technical condition
• Using unauthorised and incompatible accessory components

170127_999.994.740.10-en-1.0
4 PACKAGING AND TRANSPORTATION
The device is suitably packed for the expected transport conditions. Only
environmentally friendly materials are used for the packaging.
The fixing packaging is intended to protect the device against transport and
other damage until it is installed. Therefore do not destroy the packaging, and
do not unpack the device until shortly before it is installed.
The special folding mechanism ensures that the stretch film securely fixes the
product onto the corrugated board format. This ensures that slipping can be
avoided.
The device may only be transported in its original packaging or in other
suitable packaging. Adapters and mounted parts must be dismounted before
the device is transported.
The packaging materials must be disposed of in a way that does not harm the
environment, and in compliance with the currently valid legal stipulations and
the local regulations.
NOTICE
The ambient conditions specified in the data sheet must be observed
during storage and transport
(see chapter 8.4 “Ambient Conditions” on page 23).
• Do not expose the device to strong variations in temperature.
• After storage and transport, allow the device to adjust slowly to the
ambient temperature at the place of use.
