•᜸symbol indicates caution due to special circumstances in which hazards may occur.
᜸Warning Failure to follow instructions may result in serious injury or death.
01. 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.)
02.

may be present.
03. Do not disassemble or modify the unit.
04. Do not connect, repair, or inspect the unit while connected to a power
source.
05. Check ‘Connections’ before wiring.
᜸Caution Failure to follow instructions may result in injury or product damage.

03.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in insulation failure, contact melt,
CautionsduringUse
•Follow instructions in ‘Cautions during Use’. Otherwise, It may cause unexpected
accidents.
•When connecting an inductive load such as DC relay or solenoid valve to the output,
remove surge by using diodes or varistors.
•Use the product after 0.5 sec of the power input.
When using a separate power supply for the switch and load, supply power to the
•12-24 VDCᜡpower supply should be insulated and limited voltage/current or Class 2,
SELV power supply device.
•Wire as short as possible and keep it away from high voltage lines or power lines to
prevent surge and inductive noise.
•When using switching mode power supply (SMPS), ground F.G. terminal and connect
a condenser between 0V and F.G. terminal to remove noise.
•When using a switch with a noise-generating equipment (e.g., switching regulator,
inverter, and servo motor), ground F.G. terminal of the equipment.
•This unit may be used in the following environments.
- Altitude max. 2,000 m
- Pollution degree 2 : DC power type, Pollution degree 3 : Free power type

• Select a retrore󹃘ective tape that is suitable for the installation space and operating
environment of the sensors.
• In general, a bigger size of retrore󹃘ective tape results in a longer sensing distance.
• Be sure to check the re󹃘ectance of the MST series for proper use.
• The re󹃘ectance may vary depending on the operating environment for the sensors.
• Before applying the tape, clean the adhesive side of the re󹃘ective tape with a dry
cloth.
• Do not press or damage the surface of the retrore󹃘ective tape.
• Regularly clean the tape to maintain optimal performance, using only neutral
detergents. Do not use chemical solvents.
