Mounting Direction
●● Direction to a movable body
• When performing measurements
of moving objects with excessively different materials and
colors, mount the product per the
following directions to minimize
measurement errors.
• When measuring rotating objects,
mount the product as follows.
Measurement can be performed
with minimized effect on the object caused by up / down deflection, position deviation and etc.
• When there is a step in the moving object, mount the product as
follows. Measurement can be
performed with minimized effect
from the edges of the steps.
●● Measuring of narrow locations and recesses
• When measuring in narrow locations or inside holes, mount the
product so that optical path from
the light emitting part to lightreceiving part is not interrupted.
●● Mounting the sensor to a wall
• Mount the product as follows, so
that the multiple light reflections
on the wall do not emit to the lightreceiving part. When the reflection
factor on a wall is high, it is effective to use a dull black color.
1-point teaching (Window comparator mode)
●● This is mode is used for setting the threshold range for the distance from the reference value of the sensing object, by performing 1-point teaching. This mode is
used for sensing within the threshold range.
●● When performing 1-point teaching (window comparator mode), preset “Window
comparator mode 1” in the sensing output setting of the PRO mode. For the setting method, refer to “ 12 PRO MODE SETTING.”

13 CAUTIONS
●● This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
●● Make sure that the power supply is OFF before starting the wiring.
●● If the wiring is performed incorrectly, it will cause a failure.
●● 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.
●● 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.
●● If noise generating devices (switching regulators, inverter motors, etc.) are used
around the sensor mounting area, make sure to connect the frame ground (FG)
terminal of the device.

Notes: 1) Supply voltage: 24V DC, ambient temperature: +20°C, response time: 10ms, and analog output value of measurement center distance are used for unspecified measurement conditions. The subject is white ceramics.
2) This is based on the FDA Standard, according to Laser Notice No. 50 of the FDA Standard.
3)
This is the size in the measurement center distance. These values were defined by using 1/e2 (approx. 13.5%)
of the center light intensity. Due to leak light outside the specified area, the reflectance around the detecting
point may be higher than at the point and this may affect the measurement value.
