IV2-G500CA Color Sensor Head for IV2 Series | Keyence
Keyence IV2-G500CA is a standard field-of-view color sensor head. It works with IV2-G30 or IV2-G30F amplifiers. The head delivers reliable color inspection from 20 mm to 500 mm. A 1/3-inch color CMOS sensor captures 752 x 480 pixels. Auto focus and fast exposure make setup easy. White LED lighting supports pulse and DC modes. The IP67 housing fits harsh factory floors.
Why This Sensor Head Stands Out
- Wide reference distance: 20 to 500 mm for flexible mounting.
- Large field of view: 10 x 7.5 mm at 20 mm, up to 200 x 150 mm at 500 mm.
- Color CMOS sensor: 752 x 480 pixels for stable color detection.
- Auto focus: reduces setup time and operator skill needs.
- Fast exposure: 1/10 to 1/50000 second for moving targets.
- White LED illumination: switchable pulse or DC lighting.
- IP67 protection: dust and water resistant for industrial use.
- Light weight: approx. 75 g reduces mounting stress.

Installation Guide
- Mount the IV2-G500CA at the target distance. Keep distance between 20 mm and 500 mm.
- Connect the head to an IV2-G30 or IV2-G30F amplifier using the dedicated cable.
- Use auto focus to sharpen the image. No manual focus tool is needed.
- Choose pulse or DC lighting based on target motion and surface.
- Keep the front cover clean. Use a soft cloth and mild cleaner.
- Avoid mounting with dome attachments if vibration or shock is high.
Debugging and Maintenance Convenience
- Auto focus cuts alignment time during changeover.
- Fast exposure control helps freeze moving parts.
- Amplifier-based setup keeps wiring simple at the head.
- IP67 body allows rinse-down in many production areas.
- Light weight makes removal and replacement fast.
- Status is visible through the operation indicator cover.
Compatibility Notes
- Only works with IV2-G30 and IV2-G30F amplifiers.
- No direct communication port on the head. All I/O goes through the amplifier.
- Protocol support depends on the connected amplifier.
- Optional filters and lenses affect IP67 rating.
- Dome attachments IV2-GD05 and IV2-GD10 reduce vibration and shock ratings.

FAQ
Q: Does the IV2-G500CA work without an amplifier?
A: No. It needs an IV2-G30 or IV2-G30F amplifier to supply power and handle output.
Q: What is the minimum object size?
A: At 20 mm distance, the field of view is 10 x 7.5 mm. Small details need close mounting.
Q: Can I use it outdoors?
A: It has IP67 protection. But operating temperature is 0 to +50°C. Avoid direct sunlight and rain pooling.
Q: How fast can it inspect?
A: Exposure time goes down to 1/50000 s. This helps capture moving parts with less blur.
Q: Is a warranty included?
A: Yes. Oiltech Controls Limited provides a 12-month warranty.
