injury or death.
Caution
Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal
injury or product damage.
Fail-safe device must be installed when using the unit with machinery that may cause
serious injury or substantial economic loss. (e.g. nuclear power control, medical equipment,
ships, vehicles, railways, aircraft, combustion apparatus, safety equipment, crime/disaster
prevention devices, etc.)
Failure to follow this instruction may result in fire, personal injury, or economic loss.
This product is not safety sensor and does not observe any domestic nor international
safety standard.
Do not use this product with the purpose of injury prevention or life protection, as well as in

Caution during Use
© Copyright Reserved Autonics Co., Ltd. vii
Caution during Use
Follow instructions in 'Cautions during Use'. Otherwise, it may cause unexpected accidents.
24VDC power supply should be insulated and limited voltage/current or Class 2, SELV
power supply device.
After supplying power, the sensor performs self-check for about 10 sec. When self-checking,
error occurrence, remote control setting, and teaching, the laser scanner outputs the same
as it sensed obstacle.
Mutual optical interference between laser scanners and photoelectric sensors may result in
malfunction.
Mutual optical interference between laser scanners may result in malfunction.
Objects cannot be scanned when covering the front cover of the laser scanner.
When the laser scanner is moved to another position, use it after re-teaching (Teach-in).
Do not drop the unit. It may cause malfunction.
Installing the laser scanner in the place where smoke, fog, dust, or corrosion is heavy may
result in malfunction.
When installing the laser scanner outdoors, take protective measures. Otherwise, it may
result in product damage.
Keep away from high voltage lines or power lines to prevent inductive noise. In case of
installing power line and input signal line closely, use line filter or varistor at power line and
shield wire at input signal line.
Do not use the laser scanner near the equipment which generates strong magnetic force or
high frequency noise.
Cover with shields, hoods, or etc. to prevent direct incidence of strong light (direct rays of
sunlight, incandescent) into the laser scanner beam spread angle.
When fastening the laser scanner with the bracket, align with the mark line.
When mounting the bracket onto an external object, remove the wire fixture so that the wire
of the laser scanner is not pressed.
Fix the laser scanner in position with the fixing screw. Vibration may result in malfunction.
When IP address of the laser scanner and wireless router is same, the communication does
not connected. Set the wireless network (Wifi) to "Disable" in the network settings of the
Windows operating system.
This unit may be used in the following environments.
①Indoors/Outdoors (in the environment condition rated in 'Specifications')
②Altitude max. 2,000m
③Pollution degree 2
④Installation category II
