OMRON FZ-SFC (01) PDF Document

The OMRON FZ-SFC camera is not designed or rated for ensuring the safety of persons and should not be used for such purposes.

It is likely to cause unusual loss of sight. Please do not look at the sun light directly with the lens unit.

Please do not put the OMRON FZ-SFC on a place where direct sunshine tries the lens with the lens removed from the camera. A fire might occur unusually.

Installation Site

Do not install the product in locations subjected to the following conditions:

• Ambient temperature outside the rating

• Rapid temperature fluctuations (causing condensation)

• Relative humidity outside the range of 35 to 85%

• Presence of corrosive or flammable gases

• Presence of dust, salt, or metallic particles

• Direct vibration or shock

• Reflection of intense light (such as other laser beams or electric arc-welding machines)

• Direct sunlight or near heaters

• Water, oil, or chemical fumes or spray

• Strong magnetic or electric field

• Near high-voltage equipment or power equipment

Handling the Camera

• In the installation, tighten the screw, the lens, and the photograph ring surely.

• The Camera amplifier case is connected to the 0V line in the internal circuits. Observe the following precautions to prevent noise interference:

– Do not ground the Camera.

– Please use the plinth and the mounting bracket when you set it up.

Others

• Do not use unspecified camera cable and a strobe controller other than those that specified in this manual with the FZ controller. Connection with unspecified camera cable and/or strobe controller may malfunction at the worst case.

• If you do not use the enhancing connector on the back of the camera amplifier, do not remove the cap that is attached to the connector.

• Do not attempt to dismantle, repair, or modify the main body.

• If you suspect an error or malfunction, stop using the Controller immediately, turn OFF the power supply, and consult your OMRON representative.

• Dispose of FZ-SC5M/S5M components as industrial waste.

Please observe the following precautions to prevent failure to operate, malfunction, or undesirable effect.

Connecting Cables

• Be sure to turn off the power before connecting or disconnecting the cables. The camera might break when the power supply detaches it while turned on.

Optical axis of the Camera

• The center of the optical axis varies with the camera used. Therefore, when installing the camera, always check the center of the image displayed on the monitor.

Maintenance

• If large dust particles adhere to the CCD, use a blowerbrush (used to clean camera lenses) to blow them off. Do not blow the dust particles with your mouth.

• Do not use thinners, benzene, acetone, or kerosene to clean the Camera.

The OMRON FZ-SFC comes with the main unit, instruction sheet (this manual), a mounting bracket (only FZ-SFC/SF), and four screws (M2x4 only FZ-SFC/SF).

The camera base attached to the bottom of the camera amplifier can also be attached to the another side of the camera amplifier. Remove the four screws (M2x7) from the base and re-attach the base to the another side of the camera amplifier. The recommended screw tightening torque is 0.32N·m. When the plinth is attached in the top side and the side, mount it by three mounting screws.

The mounting bracket of the OMRON FZ-SFC/SF attachment is fixed by the four attached screws (M2x4) to the camera head. The recommended screw tightening torque is 0.1N·m.

Bottom installation

When mounting the camera head from the bottom, a spacer must be used. The spacer must be 11mm or longer to prevent the camera head from coming into contact with a metallic side.

Side installation

For side installation, mount the camera head as shown in the diagram in the PDF.

Please insert the front connector of the camera amplifier with the connector of the camera head, turn the ring, and fix firmly. When connecting, confirm that the model and serial number of the camera amplifier and camera head are the same. If the camera head and camera amplifier of a different model and serial number are connected, it will not operate normally.

Using the Camera cable FZ-VS (sold separately), connect the connector on the back of the camera amplifier and the camera connector on the Controller FZ series. The camera cable is polarized, so make sure that the end bearing a name plate is connected to the Controller.

1. Mount the lens and screw it in to the inner of the camera mount. To use it in a narrow view and at a short distance, put the photograph ring between the camera head and the lens after referring to an optical diagram.

2. Loosen the lens and the photographing ring to the position in which the focus of the image is suitable, and fix firmly with the lens fixation ring.

3. Rotate a knob after adjusting the brightness of the image by the diaphragm adjustment knob, detain temporarily, and fix firmly with the fixed screw on the other side.

Please use the draw out dimension of the lens within the mentioned range. The lens and the photographing ring might come off according to the environment of use when used by a dimension outside the range.
