1. Cautions
WARNING
●● Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection.
●● When using sensing devices for personnel protection, use products that meet laws
and standards, such as OSHA, ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection applicable in
each region or country.
●● This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
●● This product employs a small cable of 0.1mm2 in conductor area. Take care that the
cable is not pulled with a strong force, as it may damage this product or break its wires.
●● Make sure that stress by forcible bend or pulling is not applied to the sensor cable joint.
●● Cable can be extended up to 50m in total length (each emitter / receiver of thru-beam
type) if extension cable is more than 0.3mm2 in electric conductor cross-sectional area.
●● Make sure that the power supply is OFF while adding or removing the controllers.
●● Take note that incorrect wiring will damage the sensor.
●● 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.
●● When 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.
●● Take care that the sensor is not directly exposed to fluorescent lamp from a rapid-starter
lamp, a high frequency lighting device or sunlight etc., as it may affect the sensing performance.
●● Do not use during the initial transient time (50ms) after the power supply is switched
ON.
●● This product is suitable for indoor use only.
●● Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
●● Do not use this sensor in places where it may come in contact with corrosive gas, etc.
●● Ensure that the product does not come into contact with organic solvents such as thinner.
●● Ensure that the product does not come into contact with strong acid or alkaline.
●● Ensure that the product does not come into contact with oil or grease.
●● This product cannot be used in an environment containing inflammable or explosive
gases.
●● Never disassemble or modify the product.
●● Cable end has not been waterproofed. Do not use the product in any manner that may
cause water entry via cable end.

5. Stability Indicator
●● The stability indicator (green) lights up when the incident light intensity has sufficient
margin to the operation level.
When the beam is received at a level where the stability indicator lights up, stable sensing is possible in both the "Light" state operation and the "Dark" state operation without
being affected by changes in temperature, voltage, etc.

6. Beam Alignment
1. Place the emitter and the receiver face to face along a
straight line. Move the emitter in the up, down, left and
right directions, in order to determine the range of the light
received condition with the help of the operation indicator
(orange), and place it almost at the center.
Sensing object
2. Similarly, adjust for up, down, left and right angular movement of the emitter.

3. Further, perform the angular adjustment for the receiver
also.
