IV-HG500CA Keyence IV Series Color Sensor Head
IV-HG500CA is a compact color sensor head from the Keyence IV Series. It pairs with the IV-HG10 or IV-HG15 amplifier. This standard-field model delivers stable color inspection from 20 mm to 500 mm. It uses a 1/3-inch color CMOS sensor with 752 x 480 pixels. Auto focus and white LED lighting simplify setup. Pulse and DC lighting modes add flexibility. The IP67 housing suits demanding production lines.

Installation Guide
Mount the IV-HG500CA at a distance between 20 mm and 500 mm. Keep the target inside the field of view. Use the dedicated cable to connect to the IV-HG10 or IV-HG15 amplifier. Auto focus reduces manual adjustment. For IP67 protection, avoid mounting the polarized filter attachment OP-87899, OP-87900, OP-87901, or OP-87902. Also avoid dome attachments IV-GD05 and IV-GD10 when vibration or shock resistance is required.
Setup and Maintenance Convenience
Auto focus shortens commissioning time. Pulse and DC lighting modes adapt to different line speeds. The zinc die-cast case resists industrial wear. The acrylic front cover has a hard coat for scratch resistance. Clean the front cover with a soft cloth. Check the cable and amplifier connections regularly. Keep the lens free from oil mist and dust. The IP67 rating supports washdown areas when the correct attachment is not fitted.
Compatibility Notes
- Works only with IV-HG10 and IV-HG15 amplifiers
- No built-in communication port; all output goes through the amplifier
- Protocol support depends on the connected amplifier
- Power comes from the amplifier, not from a separate supply
- Polarized filter and dome attachments affect IP67 and shock ratings
Certifications and Compliance
The IV-HG500CA follows Keyence production standards. It meets IP67 protection when used without the listed filter attachments. Vibration and shock ratings apply without dome attachments. For specific certification documents, contact info@oiltechcontrols.com.
