AVAILABLE ACCESSORIES

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

SmartSense Function
The EFFI-Flex-LG CGX version has 2 operating modes and 2 M12 connectors. Depending on the wiring, the light can be used either with direct connection to the camera or with an additional external power supply for longer strobes.

The EFFI-Flex-LG CGX detects automatically the operating mode, Thanks to this SmartSense function, the user can easily shift from standard mode to power mode (longer strobes) just by connecting the additional power supply:

• Mode 1 (Direct connection): Connect only the Main connector to the camera.
• Mode 2 (Longer strobe pulse): Connect also the Auxiliary connector to an external power supply.

How to connect the EFFI-Flex-LG?

The EFFI-Flex-LG CGX requires 24V DC input power. Note the trigger pin needs to be connected to a PNP trigger signal.

Initialization phase

When EFFI-Flex-LG CGX is supplied, the product first enters in a few seconds initialization phase. This initialization is a sequence of very short strobes of increasing intensity. Please wait until the end of this initialization to use the product (max 5 seconds).

MegaStrobe feature

Power consumption

OPTICAL FLEXIBILITY

Be careful to always open the product from the side without the connector.

How to change the optical configuration?

The EFFI-Flex-LG offers flexible lens positioning to control the beam angle and different type of diffusers to adapt the uniformity. The user can easily change the diffuser and the lens position.

How to install a polarizer accessory?
By using polarizers, on the Effilux light and on the camera, it is possible to eliminate glare from your workpiece making it easier to acquire a suitable image for the application. The user can insert directly the polarizer inside the EFFI-Flex-LG, under the window.

Important note:
– The polarization is optimal with a LD window, the use of SD or OP window can depolarize the light. Important note:
– The polarization is optimal with a LD window, the use of SD or OP window can depolarize the light.

MECHANICAL CONSIDERATION

How to use the bracket kit?
There is two mounting holes on the bracket to optimize the orientation of the bar depending on the lens position:

• Pos 1 for the first lens position P1 (45°)
• Pos 2 for the second lens position P2 (25°)

REGULATIONS COMPLIANCY

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS

EU RoHS Directive
The EU RoHS Directive is short for the «Restriction Of use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment». The EU RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) restricts the use of specifics hazardous substances for the new electronic equipment marketed in the EU. The Directive (EU) 2015/863 amending 2011/65/EU was published in 2015 to restrict the use of specific hazardous substances, including six conventional substances, lead (<0.1%), mercury (<0.1%), cadmium (<0.01%), hexavalent chromium (<0.1%), polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) (0.1%) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) (<0.1%), as well as four substances (phthalate compounds), bis(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) (<0.1%), benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP) (<0.1%), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) (<0.1%), diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) (<0.1%). Our products do not contain the above certain hazardaous substances in excess of the maximum permitted concentration. However, this does not apply if the product falls under the exemption.

China RoHS
China RoHS Directive is formally known as «Management Methods for Restricting Hazardous Substances Used in Electric and Electronic Products», which was implemented on July 1rst, 2016 in China. Same as EU RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU), this regulation restricts the usage of same six substances. This regulation requires electronic information products which are manufactured or imported, and sold in China, to clearly disclose contents of the 6 restricted substances listed below.
