CX-400 series general purpose photoelectric sensors.
Hence, existing mounting brackets can be used even
when replacing general purpose sensors with laser
sensors.
A spot-size adjuster is built into the back of the sensor
head allowing the user to adjust the sensor easily while
viewing the spot. The adjuster is adjustable with a
screwdriver to avoid accidents during maintenance or
any other time the sensors are handled.
The spot shape can be adjusted
according to the object.

CC-Link SC-GU2-C
CC-Link communication is possible through the
connection to SC-GU2-C. By having the configurations
saved as “Configuration file” before equipment shipment,
later on when it comes to
exchanging the sensors,
the configurations can
be simply written in
through CC-Link. When
connecting with digital
fiber sensors FX-501/502,
SC-GU2-C
FX-301/305 or digital
pressure sensors
DPS-401/402, batch data
communication can be
carried out.
Wiring and space saving
The quick-connection cables enable reductions in
wiring (connector type).
The connections and man-hours for the relay terminal
setup can be reduced and valuable space is saved.
Also, LS series sensors can be connected side-by-side
with a connector type of FX-500/300 series digital fiber
sensors and DPS-400 series digital pressure sensors.

Cable type allows external input
When sensing at close range or when the target objects
are transparent or minute, adjust the sensor receiving
sensitivity to one of 3 levels (U-LG mode: 4 levels) for
the optimal setting. In addition, changing the receiving
sensitivity will not effect the response time.
The LS-401-C2 cable-type amplifier is equipped with an
external input wire (5-core). It is ideal to use the laser
sensor at places where external teaching or laser light
emission halting is to be carried out, or at the places
where the laser sensor is to be used separately.

Notes: 1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 °C +73.4 °F.
2) This product complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 Laser Notice No. 50, dated July 26, 2001, issued by CDRH (Center for Devices and Radiological Health)
under the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). For details, refer to the Laser Notice No. 50.
3) LS-H22(F) is the set model No. for LS-H21(F) long sensing range spot reflective type sensor head combined with the LS-MR1 lens attachment for line
reflective type. Hence, LS-H21(F) appears on the sensor head itself.
4) The sensing range is the value for the RF-330 [RF-230 for the LS-H92(F)] reflector. In addition, the sensing range is the possible setting range for the
reflector. The sensor can detect an object less than 0.1 m 0.328 ft [LS-H92(F): 0.2 m 0.656 ft] away. Note that if there are white papers or specular
objects near the sensor head, reflected light from these objects may be received. In such cases, use the M.G.S. function of the amplifier unit to change
the response time or incident light sensitivity.
5) Cable cannot be extended.

Class 3R
Description
Lasers that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of
operation, including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam viewing.
Lasers emitting in the wavelength range from 302.5 nm to 4,000 nm
which are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation,
but may be hazardous if the user employs optics within the beam.
Lasers that emit visible radiation in the wavelength range from
400 nm to 700 nm where eye protection is normally afforded
by aversion responses, including the blink reflex.
This reaction may be expected to provide adequate protection
under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation
including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam viewing.
Lasers that emit visible radiation in the wavelength range
from 400 nm to 700 nm where eye protection is normally
afforded by aversion responses, including the blink reflex.
However, viewing of the output may be more hazardous if
the user employs optics within the beam.
Lasers that emit in the wavelength range from 302.5 nm to 106 nm
where direct intrabeam viewing is potentially hazardous but the risk is
lower than for Class 3B lasers, and fewer manufacturing requirements
and control measures for the user apply than for Class 3B lasers.
Class 3B
Lasers that are normally hazardous when direct intrabeam exposure
occurs (i.e. within the NOHD). Viewing diffuse reflections is normally safe.
Class 4
Lasers that are also capable of producing hazardous diffuse reflections.
They may cause skin injuries and could also constitute a fire hazard.
Safe use of laser products
• For the purpose of preventing users from suffering
injuries by laser products, IEC 60825-1 (Safety of laser
products). Kindly check the standards before use.

Refer to General precautions and About laser beam. Refer to the “PRO mode operation guide”
which can be downloaded from our website for the amplifier operation procedures.
Mounting
Lens attachment for line reflective type (LS-MR1)
Amplifier
1 Fit the rear part of the mounting
section of the amplifier on a 35 mm
1.378 in width DIN rail.
2 Press down the rear part of the
mounting section of the unit on the
35 mm 1.378 in width DIN rail and
fit the front part of the mounting
section to the DIN rail.
1 Push the amplifier forward.
2 Lift up the front part of the amplifier
to remove it.
Note: Be careful. If the front part is lifted without
pushing the amplifier forward, the hook on
the rear portion of the mounting section is
likely to break.
1 Insert the sensor head connector
into the inlet until it clicks.
2 Fit the cover to the connector.

• The lens attachment for line reflective type LS-MR1 mounted in
the long sensing range line reflective type LS-H22□ is removable.
When LS-H22□ is used without LS-MR1, it will provide the
equivalent performance to the long sensing range spot reflective
type LS-H21□. In addition, the optional LS-MR1 can be attached
to LS-H21□ to obtain the performance equivalent to LS-H22□.
• Keep the lens clean of dust, dirt, water, oil, grease, etc.
• Do not apply any excessive force to LS-MR1.
Such force may cause damage.
Removing method
Insert a screwdriver into the fixing slot located at the top of
sensor head.
2 Tilt the screwdriver inserted in Step 1 to remove LS-MR1.

• When placing the sensor head horizontally or vertically, the
reflector must also be positioned horizontally or vertically as
shown in Fig. 1 below.
If the sensor head is placed horizontally or vertically but the
reflector is leaned as shown in Fig. 2 below, the reflection
amount will decrease, which may cause unstable detection.
Fig. 1 Proper positioning
When placing the sensor head horizontally or vertically, the
reflector shall also be positioned horizontally or vertically.

Wiring
• Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.
• 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.
• Take care that short-circuit or wrong wiring of the load 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.
• Ensure that an isolation transformer is utilized for the DC
power supply. If an auto transformer is utilized, the main
amplifier or power supply may be damaged.
• Make sure to use the optional quick-connection cable for
the connection of the amplifier [connector type LS-401(P)/
LS-403]. Extension up to total 100 m 328.084 ft is possible
with 0.3 mm2, or more,cable. However, in order to reduce
noise, make the wiring as short as possible.

• Do not use during the initial transient time (0.5 sec. approx.)
after the power supply is switched on.
• Because the sensitivity is higher in U-LG mode than in other
modes, it can be more easily affected by extraneous noise.
Check the operating environment before use.
• These sensors are only for indoor use.
• Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
• Take care that the product does not come in direct contact
with water, oil, grease, or organic solvents, such as, thinner,
etc.
• This sensor cannot be used in an environment containing
inflammable or explosive gasses.
• Never disassemble or modify the sensor.
