etc., for personnel protection applicable in each region or country.
1 CAUTIONS
This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.

For the convergent reflective type EX-14, maintain adequate distance

from reflective objects in the background, e.g. conveyors, since they may
adversely effect sensing.
2
A thin 0.1mm cable is used for this product. Do not use excessive force

when pulling on the cable: it may cause cable to break.
Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.

Incorrect wiring will damage the sensor.

Verify that the supply voltage including the ripple is within the rating.

Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that

the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an
actual ground.
In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator, inverter motor,

etc.) is used in the vicinity of this product, connect the frame ground
(F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an actual ground.
Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put

them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.
You can extend the cable up to 50m max. with 0.3mm

both emitter and receiver. However, in order to reduce noise, make the
wiring as short as possible.
Do not use during the initial transient time (0.5s) after the power supply is

switched on.
Ensure that the sensor is not directly exposed to the following light

sources as they may adversely effect sensing performance: fluorescent
light from a rapid-starter lamp, a high frequency lighting device, sunlight
etc.
This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.

Avoid dust, dirt and steam. Do not use this sensor in places having

excessive vapor, dust, etc., or where it may come in direct contact with
corrosive gas.
Take care that the sensor does not come in contact with oil, grease,

organic solvents such as thinner, etc., strong acid, or alkalines.
Do not apply stress directly to the sensor cable joint by forcibly bending

or pulling.
Since the cable end is not waterproof, do not use the sensor in an

application where water could seep in from the cable end.
