Overview
The LE1000P is the entry point of the series: a fixed-focal sensor with a mechanical focus ring, six part numbers covering three focal lengths at two resolutions, and a single 24 V DC supply drawing 15 W. Everything except the sensor and the lens is common across the six, so a machine built around one can change resolution without changing the bracket or the wiring.The numbers that decide the application are the focal length and the pixel count. At 1 MP the sensor is 1280 × 800 over a 1/4" target; at 2.3 MP it is 1920 × 1200. With a 3 µm pixel, an 8 mm lens gives the smallest field of view and the finest detail, and a 16 mm lens trades field of view for working distance.Exposure runs from 20 µs to 1 s and the shutter is global, so the sensor is usable both for a fast part crossing the field under a short flash and for a dim, static scene that needs a long integration. The body is rated IP67 and 0 to +45 °C.
Application scenarios
Pin and connector inspection
At 8 mm focal length the field of view is small enough to fill the frame with a connector and count bent pins at 2.3 MP.
Label and print verification
Reads a date code or a 2D code after labelling; the global shutter keeps the code square while the web is moving.
Robot pick confirmation
Checks the part is inside the gripper jaws before the arm lifts, which stops a mis-pick from becoming a crash downstream.
Inspection inside a narrow cavity
The body is compact enough to sit close to the work, so the 8 mm lens can be used where a longer working distance is not available.

Dimensions
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Depth | 53.5 mm (1 MP) · 33.5 mm (2 MP) |
| Mounting | 2 × M4, 6 mm deep, on the base; 2 × M4, 6 mm deep, on the side |

The 2 MP body is 20 mm shallower than the 1 MP one because the sensor board is smaller — if you are replacing one with the other, check the clearance behind the reader before you order.

How to specify
- 01
Start from the code, not the camera
Measure the module size (the width of the narrowest bar) and the field of view you need. A 0.1 mm module needs roughly 3 pixels per module, which sets the resolution and the working distance.
- 02
Work out the field of view
FOV = sensor width × working distance ÷ focal length. A 5 MP sensor with a 16 mm lens at 300 mm covers about 190 × 120 mm — enough for a label with margin.
- 03
Decide on DPM or label
Printed labels read with white light; laser-marked or dot-peened DPM codes need low-angle red or blue light and a reader with a DPM algorithm. Ordering a label reader for a DPM code is the most common mistake in a traceability project.
- 04
Match the interface to the line
Ethernet for a PC, an MES or a PLC with a socket; RS232 for a legacy terminal; digital I/O when the reader only has to say good / no-read to a relay.
Why this series
Two resolutions on the same focal length
The 1xx and 2xx prefixes differ only in sensor: 1280 × 800 against 1920 × 1200. Pick the focal length from the field of view, then pick the resolution from the smallest feature that has to be resolved — the mounting and the 24 V wiring are identical.
Global shutter
Every pixel is exposed at the same instant, so a part moving across the field is captured without the skew a rolling shutter produces. On a conveyor this is the difference between a usable edge position and a slanted one.
Mechanical focus that stays put
The focus ring is locked after adjustment, so vibration on the machine does not drift the image plane between shifts.
IP67 in a 24 V body
Sealed against dust and temporary immersion, which covers washdown areas where an IP54 body would need a separate enclosure.
Questions
What is the difference between the 1xx and 2xx part numbers?
The sensor resolution. LE1000P-111, -112 and -113 are 1 MP at 1280 × 800; LE1000P-211, -212 and -213 are 2.3 MP at 1920 × 1200. Focal length, focus, supply and protection are the same in both.
Do I need a separate light source?
The catalogue describes the sensor body and its optics; it does not list an integrated illuminator for this series. Plan on external lighting matched to the working distance, and confirm the mounting thread and the connector pinout with the factory before designing the bracket.
Can the focal length be changed in the field?
No. The lens is fixed to the body and the focus ring only adjusts the image plane. Choose the focal length when ordering: 8 mm for the widest field, 16 mm for the longest working distance.
