1 CAUTIONS
 This product is designed for industrial use only.
 Make sure to carry out wiring with the power OFF.
 Do not use this product in an environment with inflammable or explosive
gas.
 Incorrect wiring will damage the sensor.
 Verify that the supply voltage including the ripple 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.
 In case 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.
 Do not use during the initial transient time (50ms) after the power supply
is switched on.
 This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
 You can extend the cable up to 100m max. with 0.3mm
(thru-beam type, both emitter and receiver). However, in order to reduce
noise, make the wiring as short as possible.
To comply with the requirements for the Korean S-Mark, the power
supply line must be 10m or less.
 Do not apply stress directly to the sensor cable joint by forcibly bending
or pulling.
 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 sensor does not come in direct contact with water, oil,
grease, or organic solvents such as thinners, etc.
Never disassemble or modify the product.

sensing range increased when turned
clockwise.
See "SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT" on
page 4.
Reflective type, thru-beam receiver:
• L: Light-ON
Light-ON mode is obtained when the
operation mode switch is turned fully
clockwise (L).
• D: Dark-ON
