1-1 Installation Precautions

The F250 is highly reliable and resistant to most environmental factors. The following guidelines, however, must be followed to ensure reliability and optimum use of the F250.

!Caution

Read the Precautions section before proceeding with installation or operation.

1-1-1 Controller Installation

Installation Site

Do not install the F250 in locations subject to the following conditions:

1,2,3...

1.

Ambient temperatures outside of the 0 to 50

•

C (32 to 122

•

F) range

2.

Rapid temperature fluctuations (likely to cause condensation)

3.

Relative humidities outside of the 35% to 85% range

4.

Presence of corrosive or flammable gases

5.

Presence of dust, salt, or iron particles

6.

Direct vibration or shock

7.

Direct sunlight

8.

Water, oil, or chemical fumes or spray

Orientation of Controller

To improve heat dissipation, install the Controller in the following orientation only. For proper air flow, provide at least 20 mm of clearance above the Controller and at least 50 mm of clearance on both sides.

• Horizontal Installation

CORRECT

Do not install the Controller upside down as shown in the following diagram.

INCORRECT

Installation Precautions Section 1-1

• Vertical Installation

The Controller can be installed vertically with the air intake at the bottom and exhaust at the top. For proper air flow, provide at least 20 mm of clearance at the top of the Controller and at least 50 mm of clearance on both sides (the intake and exhaust sides).

CORRECT INCORRECT

Ambient Temperature

1,2,3...

1.

For proper air flow, maintain a minimum clearance of 20 mm at the top of the F250 and at least 50 mm of clearance at the sides where the cooling air intake and exhaust are located.

2.

Do not install the F250 immediately above significant heat sources, such as heaters, transformers, or large-capacity resistors.

3.

Do not let the ambient operating temperature exceed 50

•

C (122

•

F).

4.

Provide a forced-air fan cooling or air conditioning if the ambient temperature is near 50

•

C (122

•

F) so that the ambient temperature never exceeds

50 • C (122 • F).

Noise Resistance

Use the following measures to help increase noise resistance.

1,2,3...

1.

Do not install the F250 in a cabinet containing high-voltage equipment.

2.

Do not install the F250 within 200 mm of power cables.

1-1-2 Component Installation and Handling

OMRON Components

Use a Camera, Camera Cable, and Console designed specifically for the

F250.

Connecting Cables

Always turn OFF the F250’s power before connecting or disconnecting a camera or cable.

Handling the Camera

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

1,2,3...

1.

Do not ground the Camera.

2.

Do not remove the base attached to the Camera.

3.

Do not remove the ferrite core attached to the F150-VS or F160-VSR @@

Camera Cable.

Securing the Video Monitor (When Using the Recommended F150-M09)

Observe the following precautions to prevent noise interference, because the video monitor case is connected to the 0V line in the internal circuits.

1,2,3...

1.

Do not ground the video monitor.

2.

Do not ground the metallic part of the connector.

3.

Secure the video monitor with plastic screws if it is being mounted to a metallic surface.

Touching Signal Lines

To prevent damage from static electricity, use a wrist strap or another device for preventing electrostatic discharges when touching terminals or signal lines in connectors.

Handling the Memory Card

• To prevent damage from static electricity, do not touch the Memory Card directly while it is installed in the F250.

• To remove a Memory Card, turn OFF the power supply to the Card (using the menu command) or turn OFF the F250. Press the eject button to eject the Card. The Memory Card or the F250 itself may be damaged if a Memory Card is removed while power is being supplied.

Note F250-UME Precautions

It will not be possible to start the Setup Menu if you change the contents of the

Memory Card after installing it in a personal computer or other device. Never

4

Installation Precautions Section 1-1 change the contents of the Card with operations such as the following:

• Changing file names

• Moving or deleting files

• Overwriting data

• Formatting

Turning OFF the Power

Do not turn OFF the power while a message is being displayed indicating that processing is being performed. Data in memory will be corrupted, and the

F250 may not operate correctly the next time it is started.

0.Scn 0 MON ---- ---ms

Saving data.

Using the RESET Signal

Do not use the RESET input immediately after power is turned ON. When using the RESET input to synchronize startup timing, wait at least 1 second after the F250's power supply is turned ON before turning ON the RESET signal.

Replacing the Battery

The F250 is equipped with a battery that backs up the clock. When the battery is low, the message “BATTERY LOW” will be displayed on the monitor at startup. The battery must be replaced when this message is displayed. Return the

F250 to your OMRON dealer for service. (The battery is not user-serviceable.)

The battery will last approximately 7 years.
