“Class 1” laser beam sensor safe for your eyes
BASIC PERFORMANCE
FUNCTIONS
Safety countermeasures not required LA-510
Easy laser beam alignment
This laser collimated beam sensor conforms to the
Class 1 laser stipulated in IEC 60825-1 and JIS C 6802.
Hence, safety measures such as protective gear are not
necessary.
Four monitoring LEDs help you to easily align the emitter
and the receiver.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
Refer to p.1595 for general precautions and p.1593~ for information about laser beam.
Laser collimated beam sensor
• This catalog is a guide to select a suitable product.
Be sure to read the instruction manual attached to the
product prior to its use.
• Never use this product as a sensing device
for personnel protection.
• In case of using sensing devices for
personnel protection, use products which
meet laws and standards, such as OSHA,
ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection
applicable in each region or country.
• This product is classified as a Class 1 Laser
Product in IEC / JIS standards and a Class I Laser
Product in FDA regulations.
Do not look at the laser beam through optical
system such as a lens.
• The following label is enclosed with this
product. Handle the product according to the
instruction given on the warning label.

Mounting
• The emitter and the
receiver must face each
other with proper slit
orientation so that the
beam can be received.
• The tightening
torque should be
1.17 N·m or less.
When mounting
the sensor with the
attached sensor
mounting bracket,
the sensor must be
fixed on both sides.

Wiring
• In LA-510 and LA-511, capacitor earth is used to enhance
the noise characteristics. In case there is a high frequency
noise generating equipment, such as, an ultrasonic
welding machine, etc., near the sensor head and if the
mounting base is electrically conducting (metallic, etc.),
then insulate the sensor head from the mounting base.
Do not use a power supply having a single-winding
transformer (auto-transformer) as this can be dangerous.
Safety standards for laser beam products
• A laser beam can harm human being’s eyes, skin, etc.,
because of its high energy density. IEC has classified
laser products according to the degree of hazard and the
stipulated safety requirements.
LA-510 is identified as a “Class 1” laser product.
Classification by IEC 60825-1
Classification
Class 1
Description
Lasers that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation,
including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam viewing.
Note: R
efer to p.1594 for information about Laser Beam for the classification
in FDA regulations.
Safe use of laser products
• For the purpose of preventing users from suffering
injuries by laser products, IEC 60825-1 (Safety of laser
products). Please check the standards before use.
(Refer to p.1593~ for information about laser beam.)
Others
• The sensor’s output is proportional to the amount of laser
beam received. Since there is some variation in the light
intensity at the center and the periphery of the sensing
area, take care that “output = dimension” may not hold.
• For stable operation, use the sensor 10 min., or more,
after switching on the power supply.
