property damage.
Warning
Do not disassemble, repair, modify, deform under pressure, or attempt to incinerate this product.
Doing so may cause injury or fire.
This product is not explosion-proof and should not be used around flammable or explosive gases or
liquids. Doing so may cause ignition resulting in a fire.
Do not use air dusters or any spray that uses flammable gas around the product or on the inside of
the product. Doing so may cause ignition resulting in a fire.
Do not install this product in any of the following locations.
Doing so may cause a fire, damage, or a malfunction.
1. Locations where dust, salt, iron powders, or vapor (steam) is present.
2. Locations subjected to corrosive gases or flammable gases.
3. Locations where water, oil, or chemical splashes may occur.
4. Locations where heavy vibrations or impacts may occur.
5. Locations where the ambient temperature exceeds the rated range.
6. Locations subject to rapid temperature changes (or where condensation occurs).
Do not use this product in a non-industrial environment.
Doing so may cause induction or radiation interference.
In the event of a malfunction such as smoke comes out from the product
If you detect any malfunction including emission of smoke, abnormal smells or sounds, or the housing
becoming very hot, immediately stop operating the product and turn off the power to the controller.
Doing so may cause a fire. Repairing the product is dangerous and should in no way be performed by
the customer. Contact the Optex FA sales office.
In case water enters the product
If water or any other liquid enters the product, immediately stop operating the product and turn off
the power to the controller. Using the product in this condition may cause a fire.
Caution
Do not drop the product or subject the product to strong impacts. Doing so may damage the product.
The light source of this product applies the visible light semiconductor laser. Do not allow the laser beam to enter an
eye, either directly or reflected from reflective object. If the laser beam enters an eye, it may cause damage or problems
of the eye.
Follow the instructions in this manual or the specified instruction manual when wiring the product for the correct
wiring method. Incorrect wiring can damage the product or cause a malfunction. Output cannot be connected with
other LED controller in series nor in parallel.
Do not excessively twist or apply stress to the cable.
Doing so may damage the cable or the connector.
When connecting the cable, make sure to hold it by the connector portion, and do not apply excessive force to the cable.
When disconnecting the connector, be careful not to touch the terminals inside the connector, and do not
allow foreign objects to enter the connector.
Route wiring separately from high-voltage circuits and power circuits.
If the wires are routed together, induction may occur, which can cause a malfunction or damage the product.
If this is unavoidable, use a conductive object such as a properly grounded conduit as a shield.
Install this product as far away from high-voltage equipment, power equipment, equipment that generates
large switching surges, welders, inverter motors, or any equipment that can be a source of noise.
Use the product within the rated ranges.
Install this product and the dedicated controller securely.
Failure to ensure secure installation can result in the products falling and becoming damaged.
Make sure to turn the power off before connecting or disconnecting the cable.
Connecting or disconnecting while energized may damage the product.
Donʼt bend the cable when the temperature of the cable or atmosphere is below freezing.
Donʼt use the sensor on transient state after power on (approx. 300ms).
The sensor performance or digital display values may depend on the individual units or the condition of detecting object.
