Beam size*1

*1. Beam size: The beam size is defined by 1/e2 (13.5%) of the strength of the beam at the beam center (measured value). Incorrect detection may

occur if there is light leakage outside the defined spot and the material around the sensing object is more reflective than the sensing object.

Resolution*2

*2. Resolution: The resolution is the deviation (±3σ) in the linear output when connected to the ZX-LDA Amplifier Unit. (The resolution is measured

with the standard reference object (white ceramic), at the measurement point with the ZX-LDA set for an average count of 4,096 per period.)

The resolution is given at the repeat accuracy for a stationary workpiece, and is not an indication of the distance accuracy. The resolution may

be adversely affected under strong electromagnetic fields.

Note 1. Use a separate stabilized power supply for the Amplifier Unit,

particularly when high resolution is required.

2. Wire the Unit correctly. Incorrect wiring may result in damage to

the Unit. (Do not allow wiring, particularly the linear output, to

come into contact with other lines.)

3. Use the 0-V line (blue) for the power supply and use the shield

wire (linear output ground) together with the linear output (black

line) for linear output. Each of these grounds must be used for

the designed purpose. When not using the linear output, con-

nect the linear ground (shield) to the 0-V ground.

Precautions

■Design Precautions

Ratings and Performance

• Conform to the specified ratings and performance. Refer to Speci-

fications for details.

1. Do not impose voltage exceeding the rated voltage, otherwise

the Sensor may be damaged.

2. When supplying power to the Sensor, make sure that the

polarity of the power is correct, otherwise, the Sensor may be

damaged. Do not connect to an AC power supply.

3. Do not short-circuit the load for the open collector output, oth-

erwise the Sensor may be damaged.

• Do not disconnect the connector connecting the Sensor Head and

the controller while power is being supplied, otherwise the Sensor

may be damaged.

• Allow a warm-up period of approximately 10 minutes after turning

ON the power supply.

• Objects of certain materials or shapes may not be detectable, or the

detection accuracy may not be sufficiently high. These include ma-

terials that are transparent or have extremely low reflectivity, and

objects that are smaller than the Sensor’s spot diameter or have ex-

treme curvature or inclination.

Power Supply and Wiring

• Prior to turning ON the power supply after wiring is completed,

check to make sure that the power supply is correct, that there are

no mistaken connections, e.g., connections that would short-circuit

the load, and that the load current is appropriate. Incorrect wiring

may result in damage to the Sensor or Unit.

• The total length of the Sensor cable or Amplifier cable must be 10 m

or less. Use an ZX-XC@A Extension Cable (order separately) if re-

quired to extend the cable from the Sensor. Use a shielded cable to

extend the Amplifier cable. The shielded cable must be the same as

that of the Amplifier cable.

• Do not lay a power supply cable for the ZX together with high-volt-

age lines or power lines to prevent interference, damage, and mal-

function.

• When using a commercially available switching regulator, ground

the FG (frame ground) terminal.

• If the power supply line is subject to surges, connect a surge ab-

sorber that meets the conditions of the usage environment.

• When using a Calculating Unit, connect the corresponding linear

ground of the Amplifier Unit.

Compatibility

• All Sensor Heads and Amplifier Units are compatible. Different Sen-

sor Heads may be purchased at a later date and used with existing

Amplifier Units.

Mutual Interference

• Two Sensor Heads can be used together, without danger of mutual

interference, by connecting the ZX-CAL 2 Calculating Unit between

two Amplifier Units.

Maintenance

• Always turn OFF the power supply before adjusting or removing the

Sensor Head.

• Cleaning

Do not use thinners, benzine, acetone, or kerosene for cleaning.

If dust or oil adheres to the filter on the front of the Sensor Head,

use the following procedure to clean.

1. Use a blower brush (used to clean camera lenses) to blow

large dust particles from the surface. Do not blow the dust

away with your mouth.

2. Use a soft cloth (for lenses) with a small amount of alcohol to

remove the remaining dust. Do not use a scrubbing action

when cleaning because scratches on the filter could result in

Sensor inaccuracy.

■Other Precautions

Environment

1. Do not use the Sensor in strong electromagnetic fields or in an

environment where the operation of the Sensor is subject to

the reflection of intense light (such as other laser beams or

electric arc-welding machines.)

2. Do not operate the Sensor in the following locations:

• Locations subject to strong vibration.

• Locations subject to direct sunlight or near heating equip-

ment.

• Locations subject to high humidity.

• Locations where the Sensor would accumulate dust, dirt, me-

tallic powder, etc.

• Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases.

• Locations subject to exposure to organic solvents, water, oil,

etc.

• Locations subject to strong electromagnetic or electrical

fields.

• Locations subject to rapid changes in temperature.

• Locations subject to freezing.

Class Description

Class 1 Lasers which are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation.

Class 2 Lasers emitting visible radiation in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 700 nm. Eye protection is normally afforded by

aversion responses including the blink reflex.

Class 3A Lasers which are safe for viewing with the unaided eye. For laser emitting in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 700 nm,

protection is afforded by aversion responses including the blink reflex. For other wavelengths the hazard to the unaided

eye is no greater than for Class 1. Direct intrabeam viewing of Class 3A lasers with optical aides (e.g., binoculars, tele-

scopes, microscopes) may be hazardous.

Class 3B Direct intrabeam viewing of these lasers is always hazardous. Viewing diffuse reflections is normally safe (see note).

Class 4 Lasers which are also capable of producing hazardous diffuse reflections. They may cause skin injuries and could also

constitute a fire hazard. Their use requires extreme caution.

Class FDA definition ANSI description

Class I/1 Limits applicable to devices that have emissions in the ultraviolet, visi-

ble, and infrared spectra, and limits below which biological hazards

have not been established.

A Class 1 laser is considered to be incapable of pro-

ducing damaging radiation levels during operation and

maintenance and is, therefore, exempt from any con-

trol measures or other forms of surveillance.

Class IIa/2a Limits applicable to products whose visible emission does not exceed

Class I limits for emission durations of 1,000 seconds or less and are

not intended for viewing.

Class 2 lasers are divided into two subclasses, 2 and

2a. A Class 2 laser emits in the visible portion of the

spectrum (0.4 to 0.7 µm) and eye protection is normal-

ly afforded by the aversion response including the blink

reflex.

Class II/2 Limits applicable to products that have emissions in the visible spectrum

(400 to 710 nm) for emission durations in excess of 0.25 second, pro-

viding that emissions for other durations and/or wavelengths do not ex-

ceed the Class I limits. Class II products are considered hazardous for

direct long-term ocular exposure.

Class IIIa/3a Limits to products that have emissions in the visible spectrum and that

have beams where the total collectable radiant power does not exceed

5 milliwatts.

Class 3 lasers are divided into two subclasses, 3a and

3b. A Class 3 laser may be hazardous under direct and

specular reflection viewing conditions, but the diffuse

reflection is usually not a hazard.

Class IIIb/3b Limits applicable to devices that emit in the ultraviolet, visible, and infra-

red spectra. Class IIIb products include laser systems ranging from 5 to

500 milliwatts in the visible spectrum. Class IIIb emission levels are oc-

ular hazards for direct exposure throughout the range of the Class, and

skin hazards at the higher levels of the Class.

Class IV/4 Exceeding the limits of Class IIIb and are a hazard for scattered reflec-

tion as well as for direct exposure.

A Class 4 laser is a hazard to the eye or skin from the

direct beam and sometimes from a diffuse reflection

and also can be a fire hazard. Class 4 lasers may also

produce laser-generated air contaminants and hazard-

ous plasma radiation.
