□ cautions
This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
Make sure to carry out wiring in the power supply off condition.
Take care that wrong wiring will damage the sensor.
Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
Take care that if a voltage exceeding the rated range is applied, or if an AC
power supply is directly connected, the sensor may get burnt or damaged.
In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator, inverter mo¬
tor, etc.) is used in the vicinity of this product, connect the frame ground
(F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an actual ground.
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.
Do not use during the initial transient time (0.5 sec.) after the power supply is switched on.
Take care that short-circuit of the load or wrong wiring may burn or damage the sensor.
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.
Take care that the sensor is not directly exposed to fluorescent light
from a rapid-starter lamp or a high frequency light device or sunlight
etc., as it may affect the sensing performance.
If the surface of the sensing object has a shine,
mount the sensor inclining approx. 10 to 15 degrees
against the sensing object.
Do not touch the lens of the sensor by hand directly. If
the lens becomes dirty, wipe it off with a soft cloth gently.
When the inside lens is steamed up, unscrew the lens to get rid of the condensation.
For
LX-101
-D-Z, be sure to use the optional cable with connector.
Extension up to total 100m is possible with 0.3mm2, or more, cable.
However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.
This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
Do not use this sensor in places having excessive vapor, dust, etc., or
where it may come in direct contact with water, or corrosive gas.
Take care that the product does not come in contact with water, oil,
grease, or organic solvents, such as, thinner, etc.
Make sure that stress by forcible bend or pulling with 76N, or more, force
is not applied to the sensor cable joint.
This sensor cannot be used in an environment containing inflammable
or explosive gases.
Never disassemble or modify the sensor.
□ mounting
• Care must be taken regarding the
sensor mounting directrion with
respect to the object's direction of
movement.
Good
Not good
Do not make the
sensor detect an
object in this di¬
rection because it
may cause unsta¬
ble operation.
