Safety Instructions These safety instructions are intended to prevent hazardous situations and/or equipment damage. These instructions indicate the level of potential hazard with the labels of “Caution,” “Warning” or “Danger.” They are all important notes for safety and must be followed in addition to International Standards (ISO/IEC) and other safety regulations.
Safety Instructions Caution SMC develops, designs, and manufactures products to be used for automatic control equipment, and provides them for peaceful use in manufacturing industries. Use in non-manufacturing industries is not allowed. Products SMC manufactures and sells cannot be used for the purpose of transactions or certification specified in the Measurement Act of each country.

Operator This operation manual is intended for those who have knowledge of machinery using pneumatic equipment, and have sufficient knowledge of assembly, operation and maintenance of such equipment. Only those persons are allowed to perform assembly, operation and maintenance. Read and understand this operation manual carefully before assembling, operating or providing maintenance to the product.
The description "Cylinder" or "actuator" indicates a cylinder, air gripper, rotary actuator, electrical actuator or cylinder, etc. Hereafter the "Compact position sensor" is described as the "position sensor". Design and Selection Caution (1) Take precautions when multiple actuators are used close together. When using two or more cylinders or actuators with built-in magnet in close proximity to each other, maintain a minimum separation distance of at least 40 mm.

Mounting Caution (1) Do not drop or apply impact. Applying an excessive impact (more than 300 m/s ) may damage the product and cause malfunction. (2) Observe the recommended tightening torque for mounting. If the screws are tightened in excessive of the specified torque range (0.05 to 0.1 N.m), it may damage the cylinder/actuator, mounting screws, mounting brackets, and sensor etc.
Adjustment / Use Caution (1) Do not press the teach button with a sharp pointed object. This may cause damage to the teach button. (2) After turning on the power, stroke the piston approximately 10-20 times before use. The sensor will then be optimized and repeatability and linearity will be within the specification range. If the stroke is too short to operate correctly, such as with an air chuck, move the sensor back and forth several times with the printed side of the sensor facing up into the actuator groove before use.

Maintenance Warning (1) Removal of equipment and exhausting the compressed air. When components are removed, first confirm that measures are in place to prevent the workpiece from dropping, run-away equipment, etc. Then, cut the supply pressure and electrical power, and exhaust all compressed air from the system using a residual pressure release function.

Mounting and Installation ■Installation When mounting an actuator position sensor, use a mounting bracket appropriate for the cylinder/actuator. The mounting method differs according to the type of actuator and the inner diameter of the actuator tube. When mounting a position sensor for the first time, check that the cylinder/actuator has a built-in magnet and use an appropriate bracket for the cylinder/actuator.
Setting Initial settings are as follows: Measuring range: 25 mm Switch output: Low (NPN = ON, PNP = OFF), Analogue output: current output, Teach button setting procedure Check notes in advance of setting. 1: After attaching the position sensor to the actuator and turning on the power, fully stroke the actuator approximately 20 times.

Teach level 2 Calibration Calibration is necessary when the device stops working correctly, such as when it is subjected to a strong magnetic field. Do not perform this operation when the actuator is operating normally. If this is carried out when installed in the actuator, it will not operate correctly. implementation method 1.
○Analogue output Voltage [V] Current [mA] Set measuring range Set measuring range ●Analogue output function •Measuring range can be changed by setting. •Whole measuring range can be reset using the reset function. •Analogue current output 4-20 mA, Analogue voltage output 0-10 V, 1-5 V can be selected. •Analogue output can be reversed.

○Switch output mode •There are four modes of switch output. (1) Single switch point mode Normal output Reversed output (2) Auto switch mode Normal output Reversed output <Additional condition> ON range is approx. 2 mm. (The projections are not included in the dimension.) Can be changed from 1 to 5 mm in settings.
IO-Link ○Communication function This product can check the position measurement value, diagnostic information and switch output status using cyclic data communication via the IO-Link system. ○Data storage function The data storage function stores the IO-Link device parameter settings to the IO-Link master. With the IO-Link data storage function, the IO-link device can be replaced easily without re-setting the equipment construction or setting parameters.

Troubleshooting When a position sensor failure occurs, perform the following trouble shooting. A failure of the position sensor might depend on the operating environment (application etc.) and may need to be tested separately by contacting SMC. The status of the indicator lamps is shown below. OUT1 (orange) remains ON, OUT1 (orange) remains OFF, and PWR (green) does not flash.
