GOCATOR OVERVIEW
There are several sensor models in the Gocator 2000 series, each
designed with a unique Clearance Distance (CD), Measurement
Range (MR) and Field of View (FOV). Refer to your User Manual
for more information about your model.
GROUNDING GOCATOR
Gocator housings should be grounded to the earth and the
grounding shield of the Gocator I/O cordsets. Gocator
sensors have been designed to provide adequate grounding
through the use of M5 x 0.8 screws. Always check grounding
with a multi-meter to ensure electrical continuity between the
mounting frame and the Gocator connectors.
The frame or electrical cabinet that the Gocator is mounted to
must be connected to earth ground.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Minimize voltage potential between system ground
and sensor ground
Care should be taken to minimize the voltage potential
between system ground (ground reference for I/O signals)
and sensor ground. Use shielded cables with shield grounded
at both ends. Sensor housing should be connected to earth
ground.
Use a suitable power supply
The +24-48V power supply used with Gocator 2000 sensors
should be an isolated supply with inrush current protection.
Use care when handling powered devices
Wires connecting to the sensor should not be handled while
the sensor is powered. Doing so may cause electrical shock to
the user or damage to the equipment.
Failure to adhere to the guidelines described
in this section may result in electrical shock
or equipment damage.
NOTE: Mounting the Gocator is recommended prior to applying power. Ensure that a proper earth ground and
heat sink have been properly established prior to applying power.
LASER SAFETY
The full laser safety details including precautions,
responsibilities and requirements are stated in the Gocator
User Manual. Use of controls or adjustments or performing
procedures other than those specified in the User Manual may
result in hazardous radiation exposure.

WARNING: DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY
INTO THE LASER BEAM
The light emitted from these devices has been set in accordance
with IEC60825. However, staring into the beam, whether directly
or indirectly, must be avoided. IEC60825 classifies laser products
into three different categories depending on light emitted,
wavelength and eye safety.
This product is designated for use solely as a component and as
such it does not fully comply with the standards relating to laser
products specified in U.S. FDA CFR Title 21 part 1040 and
IEC 60825-1.
