IV-HG500MA Keyence IV Series Monochrome Sensor Head
IV-HG500MA is a compact monochrome sensor head from the Keyence IV Series. It pairs with the IV-HG10 or IV-HG15 amplifier. The head uses a 1/3 inch monochrome CMOS sensor. It delivers 752 x 480 pixels for stable image capture.
This standard field of view model covers 20 to 500 mm install distance. The view ranges from 10 x 7.5 mm up to 200 x 150 mm. Auto focus and white LED lighting simplify setup. Pulse and DC lighting modes add flexibility for moving or static targets.
The IV-HG500MA connects to the amplifier by dedicated cable. Power and output signals pass through the amplifier. This keeps the head small and easy to mount in tight cells. The IP67 rating supports harsh factory floors.

Installation Guide
- Mount the IV-HG500MA at 20 to 500 mm from the target.
- Keep the front cover clean. Dust or oil can blur the image.
- Use the dedicated cable to link the head to the IV-HG10 or IV-HG15 amplifier.
- Set the working distance first. Then let auto focus lock the image.
- Choose pulse lighting for fast motion. Choose DC lighting for steady targets.
- Do not mount a polarized filter or dome attachment if IP67 and shock data must hold.
Setup and Maintenance
- Auto focus cuts setup time on new lines.
- Exposure control from 1/10 to 1/50,000 handles bright and dark parts.
- White LED lighting removes the need for extra external lamps in many cells.
- Check the front cover during planned maintenance. Replace worn covers early.
- Keep the cable route away from high-current motors and drives.
- Confirm the amplifier firmware supports the head before commissioning.
Compatibility Notes
- Works with Keyence IV-HG10 and IV-HG15 amplifiers.
- Power, output, and communication come from the amplifier.
- No built-in fieldbus port. Network options depend on the amplifier.
- Polarized filter options: OP-87899, OP-87900, OP-87901, OP-87902.
- Dome attachments: IV-GD05 and IV-GD10.
- These options change the IP67 and shock ratings. Check the datasheet before use.
