Note: Europe: Class 1 and Class 2 of EN60825-1: 1994 = IEC825-1: 1993

(1) Use this product as specified in this operation manual. Otherwise, you may
be exposed to hazardous laser radiation.
(2) The ZX-series Smart Sensors radiate laser beams in the visible light range.
Do not expose your eyes directly to the laser radiation. Ensure that the laser
beam path is terminated during use. If a mirror or shiny surface is positioned
in the laser beam path, ensure that the reflected beam path is also termi-
nated. If the Unit must be used without terminating the laser beam path, posi-
tion the laser beam path so that it is not at eye level.
(3) To avoid exposure to hazardous laser radiation, do not displace nor remove
the protective housing during operation, maintenance, and any other servic-
ing.
(4) The user should return the product to OMRON for all repair and servicing.
(5) As for countries other than those of Europe and the U.S.A., observe the regu-
lations and standards specified by each country.
