Mounting the Sensor

Never look into the laser beam. Doing so continuously will result in
visual impairment.
Do not attempt to dismantle, pressurize, or incinerate the product. Doing
so may cause the laser beam to leak, resulting in the danger of visual
impairment.
Installations to Suit Measurement Target and Environment
Pay attention to the following points when mounting the Sensor to prevent measurement
precision from dropping.
Color/shiny surface boundary

Mounting near walls
Measurement errors can be reduced by installing the Sensor with the
line formed by the emission and reception axes parallel to the wall, and
Right
painting the wall with non-reflective black paint.

Rotating objects
You can minimize the influence caused by vibration of the rotating object
and positional shifts by installing the Sensor with the line formed by the
Right
emission and reception axes parallel to the axis of rotation.
Wrong
Effect of peripheral lighting
Do not install the Sensor in a place where strong light hits the laser
Right
emitter/receiver section of the Sensor. Also, if a measurement target
has a shiny surface, the light from the lighting will be reflected and a
malfunction may occur. In such as case, prevent reflection, for
example, covering the light to stop reflection.
