Precautions for Correct Use

Observe the following operating methods to prevent failure and malfunction.
 Common for the Main Unit and Sensor
(1) When cleaning the product, do not use thinners or solvents. Use commercial alcohol.
(2) Confirm that wire does not stick up after wiring of stranded cable.
(3) Do not install the product near equipment that generates high frequencies or surges.
(4) Read this manual carefully before using the product.
(5) Install product so that the load doesn't span the product body.
(6) Only a professional with an understanding of electricity and electric devices must handle it.
(7) Do not install the product close contact with the heating element.
(8) During periodic inspection, installation of an additional sensor, or adjustment of sensor position,
use the product after ensuring that correct operation can be performed.
(9) Do not use the product as a safety apparatus, or for the rescue of human lives.
 Main Unit Only
(1) Use the power supply voltage, input power, and other power supplies and transformers with suit-
able capacities and rated outputs.
(2) If you wire crossovers and connect terminal blocks in parallel, a large current will flow. Make sure
that the current does not exceed 10 A.
(3) The terminal block may be damaged if the recommended tool is not used. Use the recommended
flat-blade screwdriver to operate the release holes.
(4) Do not bend the communications cables past its natural bending radius or pull on it with excessive
force. Do not place heavy objects on top of the communications cables or other wiring lines. Doing
so may cause the wire disconnection.
(5) Refer to the status information of the product on the data link communications and refer to the
received data only in case of no errors occur with the product.
(6) Use a power supply that will reach the rated voltage within 1 second after the power is turned ON.
 Sensor Only
(1) Note that if the sensor is tilted and installed, the measurement range will also tilt.
(2) The sensor must be installed in a specific direction. Check the measurement range before install-
ing the sensor, and install the sensor in the correct direction.
(3) The measurement range differs depending on the distance from the object to be measured up to
the sensor. Be sure to check the measurement range before installing the sensor.
(4) The sensor is a special product. Do not use it for any other purposes. Otherwise, failure may occur.
(5) When installing the sensor, make sure there is no obstacle between the measurement target and
the sensor as this could result in incorrect measurement of the temperature.
(6) Do not use the alarm output function for control. This function can be used only to detect abnormal
conditions and to output the alarm.
(7) When cleaning during periodic inspection, lightly wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth. Also, do not
directly spray the cleaning solution on the sensor.
(8) Do not forcibly remove the product. When power is supplied to the devices after re-installing the
product, it may result in incorrect operation or device damage.
(9) The easy-positioning magnet is for the purpose of seeking the detected position. In the case of
using the product permanently, be sure to use it after it is mounted by screws.
(10) When the product is installed vertically or upside down, ensure that the sensor does not fall off.
