Page 4: Safety Precautions
Safety precautions • Use supply voltage and interfaces indicated in the sensor specifications. • In connection/disconnection of cables, the sensor power must be switched off. • Do not use sensors in locations close to powerful light sources. • To obtain stable results, wait about 20 minutes after sensor activation to achieve uniform sensor warm-up. -
Page 5: Class 3R Sensors
• Use the protective screen mounted on the sensor for the blocking of the outgoing beam; • Use the laser deactivation function in emergency. 3.2. Class 3R sensors The sensors make use of an c.w. 660 nm wavelength semiconductor laser. Maximum output power is 5 mW. -
Page 6: General Information
General information The sensors are intended for non-contact measuring and checking of position, displacement, dimensions, surface profile, deformation, vibrations, sorting and sensing of technological objects as well as for measuring levels of liquid and bulk materials. The series includes 26 sensors with the measurement range, from 2 to 1250 mm and the base distance from 10 to 260 mm. -
