2 SAFE USE OF LASER PRODUCT
IEC / JIS / GB / KS
● To prevent laser products from affecting their users, IEC, JIS, GB, and KS have
respective standards.
These standards classify laser products into classes according to the hazard level
of laser, and prescribe safety and preventive measures that should be implement-
ed for each class.
This product belongs to "Class 1 laser product" according to IEC 60825-1(JIS C
6802, GB 7247.1 KS C IEC 60825-1) "Radiation Safety of Laser Products".

● Explanation of hazard levels
Classification
Class 1 A laser that is safe when operated under operating conditions that can be reasonably foreseen.
Note: Pay attention to safety since hazardous laser beams may be emitted in the event of an unex-
pected failure.
● The following label is affixed to the side of this product based on the safety stan-
dards for laser products.
● Warning label
FDA
● Exporting to the USA
If this product is incorporated into facilities or equipment to be exported to the
USA, it is subject to the laser regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administra-
tion (FDA). To prevent laser products from affecting their users, PART1040 (Per-
formance Standards for Light-Emitting Products) was established as one of the
FDA regulations. These standards classify laser products into classes according
to the hazard level of laser and prescribe safety and preventive measures that
should be implemented for each class.
This product complies with the FDA regulations (FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and
1040.11) in accordance with FDA Laser Notice No. 56, except for complying with
IEC 60825-1 Ed. 3. (Class 1 Laser Product)
When exporting this product to the USA, affix the FDA certificate / identification
label near the end of the cable.

3 CAUTIONS
Specifications
● This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
● Do not use this product outside the range of the specifications. Doing so will cause an
accident or product failure. There is also a risk of a noticeable reduction of service life.
● There is a certain deviation in the directionality of this product. When using this product, install
the product using a mounting bracket or similar fitting to allow the adjustment of beam axis.
● The internal memory (non-volatile memory) of this product has a service life. Set-
tings cannot be configured more than one million times.
● Leaked light exists around the detection point, and if an object with high reflec-
tance is present around the detection point, this product may be affected by that.
● If a regular reflection light enters the beam receiving window, proper measure-
ment may not be possible. If the reflectance of the detected object is high, careful-
ly select the installation location.
Power Supply
● Verify that the supply voltage fluctuations are within the rating when using the
product. Note that applying a voltage greater than the rated voltage or directly ap-
plying AC power will cause damage or burning.
● To ensure performance, use the product at least 30 minutes (warm-up time) after
the power is turned ON.
● If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that the frame
ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual ground.
● Make sure that the power supply input satisfies the following items.
1) The power supply unit must be certified for use in your region.
2) The power supply unit must have an output holding time of 20 ms or more.
3) The power supply unit must have the rated output voltage of 24 V DC± 10%
and the ripple (P-P) of 10% or less.
4) The power supply unit must provide SELV (safety extra low voltage) or PELV
(protective extra low voltage) confirming to the EMC Directive if the CE mark-
ing compliance is required.
5) The power supply unit must provide SELV (safety extra low voltage) or PELV
(protective extra low voltage) confirming to the EMC Regulations if the UKCA
marking compliance is required.
6) The power supply unit must support Class 2 if
● If surges occur, take countermeasures such as connecting a surge absorber to
the source of the surges.
Wiring
● Before wiring work always turn the power OFF.
● Do not wire in parallel with a high-voltage line or power line, or run through the
same conduit. Doing so may result in malfunctioning due to induction.
● Arrange the load to ensure that a current of 50 mA or higher does not flow to the
control output line. Also avoid incorrect wiring such as polarity connection error of
the power supply. Failure to do so will cause damage or burning.
● The overall length of the cable can be extended to 10m maximum with a cable
2
size of 0.3 mm or more. Use a shielded cable to extend the analog line.
● Do not apply stress such as excessive bending or pulling to the extracted part of a cable.
Usage Environment
● This product is suitable for indoor use only.
● Do not install the sensor in the following locations.
• Locations subject to flammable gas, corrosive gas, or excessive dust
• Locations subject to dust, metal particles, or saline matter
• Locations subject to benzine, paint thinner, alcohol or other organic solvents or
strong alkaline solutions such as ammonia or caustic soda
• Locations subject to severe vibration or shock
• Locations subject to direct sunlight
• Locations subject to water, oil, or chemicals
• Locations where load is applied to the sensor
● Avoid using this product in environments where condensation occurs due to sud-
den temperature change.
● Performance may not be satisfactory in a strong electromagnetic field.
● Take care that the sensor is not directly exposed to fluorescent lamp from a rap-
id-starter lamp, a high frequency lighting device or sunlight etc., as it may affect
the sensing performance, although it depends on the type.
● Keep the light emitting and receiving windows of this product clean and free of
water, oil, fingerprints, and other substances that refract light as well as dust, grit,
and other objects that intercept light. When cleaning the surfaces, wipe off con-
taminants with a lint-free soft cloth or lens cleaning paper.
● Make sure to turn OFF the power supply before cleaning the light emitting and
receiving windows of this product.
● This product is a precision device. Do not drop or otherwise subject to shock. Do-
ing so will cause product failure.
● If a background object is present at the specific region shown below, a distance
different from the actual distance may be displayed owing to the sensing principle.
Please check actual operation in the actual usage environment.
