1 DESCRIPTION
● HL-C201A(E), HL-C201A(E)-MK displacement sensor head achieves ultra high-speed
and high-accurate measurement using linear image sensor as light receiving element
to be used on equipment that require high-speed operation with high-accuracy.
● The product is used at specular reflection installation.
2 CAUTIONS ON HANDLING LASER LIGHT
● In order to prevent the accident by laser product and protect the users, JIS C 6802
"Safety of laser products" was established based on the regulation of IEC (Internation-
al electrotechnical Commission). This regulation classifies laser products according to
the level of hazard, and provides the safety measures for respective classes.
HL-C201A(E), HL-C201A(E)-MK are classified as "Class 1 laser products" ac-
cording to IEC 60825-1 (JIS C 6802
-2007
● Laser hazardous class
Classification according to IEC 60825-1
Class Model
HL-C201A(E)
Class 1 Safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation
HL-C201A(E)-MK
Safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, except for diverging
Class 1M - or large area beams when collecting optics used. Hazardous when collecting
optics used.
Class 2 - Visible beam, low power. Blink response of eye affords protection.
Visible beam, low power. Blink response of eye affords protection.
Class 2M -
Hazardous when collecting optics used.
Class 3R - Direct intrabeam viewing is hazardous, but risk is lower than for 3B.
Class 3B - Direct intrabeam viewing is always hazardous.
High power. Capable of producing hazardous diffuse reflections.
Class 4 -
Capable of producing skin burns and fire hazardous.
● WARNING label
In Japanese / English / Korean
<Label position>
● Install the product so the laser beam comes higher or lower than eye level in or-
der not to watch the beam directly during operation.
● Please contact our company if the system breaks down. It is not equipped with a func-
tion that stops laser radiation automatically during disassembling the sensor head.
The users therefore may be exposed to laser beam in disassembling the sensor head.
● When this product is used in China, affix the Chinese warning label (accessory)
on the label in the product.
● Do not use the system in the manner other than specified in this Instruction Manual.

3 EXPORT REGULATIONS BY JAPANESE GOVERNMENT
● HL-C201A and HL-C201A-MK are subject to export control regulation by the For-
eign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law. Export admission by Japanese govern-
ment is required before the product is to be exported or brought out of the country.
These products are also subject to Article 1.B.3.b.1 of Nuclear Suppliers Group in
international export control regime and 2.B.6.b.1 of Wassenaar Arrangement.
● Please follow the export control regulations required.
HL-C201AE and HL-C201AE-MK (E type) are not subject to export control regu-
lations under the condition that they are used combined with the non-pertinent
controller to export control specified by Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law.
When they are combined with the pertinent controller to export control, they are
subject to the Law. In this case export admission by Japanese government is re-
quired before the product is to be exported or brought out of the country.

Notes: 1) Measuring conditions are as follows unless otherwise specified; connection with controller, power voltage:
24V DC, ambient temperature: 20°C, sampling cycle: 40μs, average times:256, at measurement center dis-
tance, measurement subject: aluminum vapor deposition surface reflect ion mirror, and digital measurement
value.
2) The measurement range is between +0.1 and +1.0mm (in case the sampling cycle is 20μs), or between +0.8
-2005
and +1.0mm (in case the sampling cycle is 10μs).
3) The figure shows the value at measurement center distance. It is determined by 1/e
of center beam intensity. Due to leak light outside the specified area, the reflectance around the detecting
point may be higher than at the point and this may affect the measurement value.
4) The minimum resolution of 0.25μm can be achieved if the sensor head is connected to the controller that is
not subject to "Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law".
5) The linearity of ±0.025%F.S. and temperature characteristics of 0.013%F.S./°C can be achieved if the sensor
head is connected to the controller that is not subject to "Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law".
6) The variation in ambient illuminance is ±0.02%F.S. or less.
