Precautions For Correct Use - Omron ZX-T Operation Manual

PREFACE

Precautions for Correct Use

Always observe the following precautions to prevent operation failures, malfunctions, and
adverse effects on performance and equipment.
Smart Sensor Installation
Environment
Do not install the Smart Sensor in the following locations:
• Locations where the ambient temperature exceeds the rated temperature range.
• Locations subject to rapid changes in temperature (causing condensation).
• Locations where the relative humidity exceeds the range of 35% to 85%.
• Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases.
• Locations where dust, salt, or metallic powder accumulate on the Sensor.
• Locations subject to direct vibration or impact.
• Locations subject to direct sunlight.
• Locations subject to exposure to water, oil, chemicals, etc.
• Locations subject to strong electromagnetic or electrical fields.
• Locations subject to water vapor.
Installation and Handling of Components
Power Supply and Wiring
• Do not extend the Sensor Head cable by more than 8 m. Use a ZX-XC@A Extension
Cable (order separately) to extend the cable from the Sensor.
• Use a shielded cable to extend the Amplifier cable. The shielded cable must have the
same specifications as that of the Amplifier cable.
• When using a commercially available switching regulator, ground the FG (frame
ground) terminal. (ZX-TDS01T and ZX-TDS04T-@)
• If the power supply line is subject to surges, connect a surge absorber that meets the
conditions of the application environment.
• When connecting multiple Amplifier Units, connect the linear grounds of all the Ampli-
fier Units.
• The Sensor Head is not flame resistant (ZX-TDS10T-@@).
