Both NEAR and FAR indicators are flashing: Outside measuring range These indicators also double as laser alarm indicators. - At least one of the indicators will either light up or flash after the Sensor Head is turned ON. - Both indicators go out for 15 to 25 seconds after the Sensor Head is turned ON to indicate that the laser beam is OFF.
Page 28 ENABLE indicator The ENABLE indicator lights when the Sensor is ready for measurement. It goes off when measurement is not possible (e.g. when the received light amount is excessive or insufficient, when the measuring range is exceeded, when the Sensor Head is not connected, or when measurement is not being performed in FUN mode).

Attach the ferrite core (provided with the Sensor Head) to both ends of the Sensor Head cable in advance. If the ferrite core comes loose from the cable, fasten the ferrite core in place with the Insure Lock (supplied). ■ Disconnecting the Sensor Head Pull out the Sensor Head while pressing in the hooks on both sides of the Sensor Head connector.
Page 38 • Only the ZS-XC_B(R) cable allows this extended connected. Note, however, that the connection with the ZS-XC_A cannot be extended. • The cable may break at locations where it is made to bend. So, use a robot cable type extension cable (ZS-XC5BR, ZS-XC_ _CR).
Page 39: Sensor Controller
Before connecting/disconnecting peripheral devices, make sure that the Sensor Controller is turned OFF. The Sensor Controller may break down if it is connected or disconnected while the power is ON. Installation of Sensor Controller ■ Installing on the DIN track The following describes how to attach the 35 mm wide DIN track very quickly and eas- ily.
Page 40 Push down until you hear it snap into place. Always hook the connector end of the Sensor Controller on the DIN track first. Hooking the I/ O cable end on the DIN track first may impair the mounting strength of the DIN track attach- ment.
Page 41 Install the Sensor Controller with Panel Panel Mount Adapters attached onto the panel from the front. Take care not to pinch the I/O cable. Hook the hooks of the mounting fixture onto the two holes of the smaller Mount Mounting Adapters and tighten the screws.
Page 42: Wiring The I/O Cable
Power supply This connects the 24 VDC (±10 %) power supply. When using a Sensor Controller with a PNP output, the power supply terminal is also the common I/O terminal for all I/ O except for the linear output. Supply power from a DC power supply unit that has a countermeasure (safety ultra- low voltage circuit) built-in for preventing high voltages from occurring.
