● In case of using sensing devices for personnel protection, use prod-
ucts which meet laws and standards, such as OSHA, ANSI or IEC
etc., for personnel protection applicable in each region or country.
● Install a fail-safe device in case the product is being used for pur-
poses that can lead to physical injury or serious damage.
● This product cannot be used in an environment containing inflam-
mable or explosive gases.
Before use
Check the sensor head model and package contents before use.

overview
This product is a compact laser displacement sensor, incorporating a digital
display and controller functions.
● The standard type has three digital outputs and 1 analog output for
current or voltage.
● The multifunction type additionally incorporates serial communication
functions and can be easily controlled by host devices.
● One out of four measurement distances can be selected for each type
that support both NPN and PNP outputs.
2 cautions for Handling laser light
In order to prevent accidents caused by laser products and to protect the
users, IEC, JIS and FDA established the following standards: These stan-
dards classify laser products according to their level of hazard and provide
safety measures for the respective classes.
● IEC: IEC 60825-1-2007 (EN 60825-1-2007)
● JIS: JIS C 6802-2005
● FDA: PART 1040 (PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR LIGHT-EMIT-
TING PRODUCTS)

WARNING
● sensor head model
Check the model number on the top of
sensor head.
● Package contents
Check that all of the following items
are included in the package.
- 1 sensor head
- 1 Instruction Manual
- 1 set of laser warning labels
Description of hazardous evaluation
Visible beam, low power. Blink response of
eye affords protection.
Warning label and label position
Installation and operation
● Install the product so that the laser beam is above or below eye level.
● Do not look into the beam directly during operation. A safe distance
from the laser (Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance: NOHD) is approx.
0.4m.
● The laser beam must be terminated at the end of its path by a diffuse
reflector or an absorber.
● Please contact Panasonic Electric Works SUNX Co., Ltd. if the system
breaks down. It is not equipped with a function that stops laser radia-
tion automatically when the sensor head is being disassembled.
● Do not use the system in any other manner than specified in this
instruction manual.
3 Wiring instructions
Turn OFF the power supply before connecting or disconnecting the con-
nectors or performing wiring.
connections
● When connecting or disconnecting the connectors, hold the connector
area so that no extra force is applied to the cable.
● Do not touch the terminals or to let foreign objects get into the connec-
tors after disconnecting them.
● Do not apply force around the connector of the sensor head cable
or the extension cable. Do not bend the cables near the connectors
because the cables will be disconnected.
● When moving the sensor head during operation, install the cables in
such a way that they do not bend while the sensor head is moving.
Use the multifunction type if bending the cables is inevitable as there
are replaceable extension cables available for this type.
Wiring
● Do not roll up the sensor cable (bundle in parallel) with other wiring.
Keep it at least 100mm away from other wires.
Cables should be separated from high voltage and power circuit lines.
If this is not possible, shield the cable by running it through conductive
material such as grounded electrical conduit.
● Install the product as far away as possible from noise sources such as
high-voltage lines, high-voltage devices, power lines, power device,
machines which generate a large high-voltage ON/OFF surge, welding
machines and inverter motors.
● Do not pull the cable with a force more than 29.4N when wiring the
cable when the sensor head is fixed. The cable may be bent with a
radius of 30mm or more. However, do not bend the cable within 20mm
of the sensor head.
