ing environment.
. Strong resistance to fluctuations in the head clearance for obtaining high accuracy.
. Minimum resolution of 1 um (when combined with the MJ600 and MJ620).
. This is IP67. (PL101-RH)

1-3. Usage Notes

. Do not place objects that generate strong magnetic fields in the vicinity of this product.
This could harm the accuracy of the scale.
. This product should be used within an ambient temperature range of 0 to +45°C, and
should not be exposed to direct sunlight or heat sources.
. During operation, be sure to keep the unit 0.5 m or more away from large power relays,
high voltage or large current switches, or other sources of noise.
. Wire the head cable and output cable separately from power lines.
. When coupling relays, solenoids, motors or other devices to this unit, be sure to take
measures to prevent noise.
. Although the extension cable has been designed with sufficient durability for normal
operating conditions, be careful not to apply excessive stress to the cable. This could
severely harm the durability of the cable.
. Make sure that the external magnetic field does not exceed 0.5 mT.
