Keyence IV3-L5M AI Imaging Illumination Unit
Product Introduction
The Keyence IV3-L5M is a dedicated illumination unit designed for the IV3 series smart camera. This infrared LED ring light mounts directly onto the IV3-500MA sensor. Therefore, it provides controlled lighting for AI-driven visual inspections. The unit draws power from the connected sensor, which simplifies wiring. Moreover, its compact form factor fits easily into existing IV3 camera setups.
Technical Specifications
The Keyence IV3-L5M ring light uses an infrared LED light source. This illumination type suits applications that require invisible or heat-sensitive lighting. Specifically, it helps the IV3-500MA capture consistent images for pattern matching and defect detection. The unit needs no separate power supply. Instead, the connected sensor delivers the necessary power. Additionally, there are no built-in communication ports or expansion options, as the unit functions purely as an illumination accessory.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
The IV3-L5M handles reliable operation in industrial environments. Its aluminum die-cast case offers mechanical protection. Meanwhile, the acrylic front cover ensures optical clarity. The unit carries an IP67 protection rating when mounted to a compatible sensor. However, this rating does not apply when a polarizing filter (OP-88644/OP-88645/OP-88646/OP-88647) is attached. The operating temperature range is 0 to +50°C with no freezing. Furthermore, the relative humidity range is 35 to 85% RH with no condensation. The unit weighs approximately 195 g.
Installation Guide
Installing the Keyence IV3-L5M requires no specialized tools or complex wiring. First, align the ring light with the front of the IV3-500MA sensor. Next, secure it using the designated mounting points. Because the sensor supplies power, no separate electrical connections are needed. Finally, verify that the polarizing filter is not installed if IP67 protection is required. This straightforward process minimizes downtime during setup.

FAQ
1. What sensor is compatible with the Keyence IV3-L5M?
The Keyence IV3-L5M works exclusively with the IV3-500MA smart camera. It does not support other IV3 series models or third-party sensors.
2. Does the IV3-L5M require an external power source?
No, the unit receives power directly from the connected IV3-500MA sensor. This design eliminates the need for separate power cables, which simplifies installation.
3. What is the IP rating of the IV3-L5M?
The unit achieves an IP67 protection rating when properly mounted to the IV3-500MA. However, this rating is void if a polarizing filter from the OP-88644 series is attached.
4. What material is used for the IV3-L5M housing?
The case uses aluminum die-casting for durability. The front cover uses acrylic to maintain optical transparency for the infrared LED light.
5. Can the IV3-L5M be used in high-temperature environments?
The operating temperature range for the Keyence IV3-L5M is 0 to +50°C with no freezing. Avoid using it outside this range to ensure reliable performance.
