Features:
- SZ-VH1 is the standard non-camera scanner head for modular SZ-V assemblies.
- Separate SZ-V display units provide the user interface, safety outputs, and network functions.
- One supported display unit can coordinate as many as three connected scanner heads.
Choosing SZ-VH1 identifies the optical head, not a complete scanner set; the display unit, system memory, head cable, and mounting hardware remain separate selections.
The display-unit choice establishes the finished system function: SZ-VU04 is multifunction, SZ-VU32 is multi-bank, SZ-VU32N is PROFIsafe network, and SZ-VU32NC is CIP Safety.
When image or video monitoring is required, the head designation changes to SZ-VH1X. SZ-VH1 remains the standard head without the camera function.
The KEYENCE SZ-VH1 Standard Safety Laser Scanner Head may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Head Selection
- Component Scope: SZ-VH1 is the scanner head, so the display unit, system memory, and head cable are selected separately.
- Standard Version: SZ-VH1 performs laser scanning without an integrated monitoring camera.
- Camera Version: Image and video monitoring require the separate SZ-VH1X head.
- Set Identity: The paired display unit determines whether the completed scanner is multifunction, multi-bank, PROFIsafe, or CIP Safety.
Scan Field
- Detection Arc: The scanner covers 190 degrees from -5 to 185 degrees.
- Optical Source: A 905 nm infrared laser diode operates as a Class 1 laser under IEC/EN 60825-1.
- Zone Evaluation: SZ-VH1 supplies scan data while the connected display/control unit evaluates the configured protection and warning zones.
- Reflective Surfaces: A highly reflective background within 1.5 m of the zone boundary requires 200 mm of additional necessary distance.
System Scaling
- Head Count: A supported SZ-V system can coordinate up to three SZ-VH1 scanner heads.
- Link Distance: Each scanner head can use a head-to-display cable up to 20 m long.
- Display Functions: Configuration, status display, safety outputs, and network interfaces remain in the selected display/control unit.
- Unit Choice: SZ-VU04, SZ-VU32, SZ-VU32N, and SZ-VU32NC assign the completed system its functional and network configuration.
Operating Limits
- Enclosure: The scanner head is rated IP65 under IEC 60529.
- Temperature: Operation is specified from -10 to +50°C without freezing.
- Humidity: The operating range is 35% to 85% RH without condensation.
- Construction: The head uses a magnesium main case with a polycarbonate and PEI optical window.
