When mounting this product, use M3 screws (prepare separately).
Use a tightening torque of 0.5 N m for mounting.

Mounting direction
●When performing measurements of moving objects with excessively
different materials and colors, mount the product in the following direc-
tions to minimize measurement errors.
●When performing measurements of rotating objects, mount the prod-
uct as follows. The effect of up/down deection and position deviation
can be minimized by mounting the sensor in the correct direction.
●When there is a step in the moving object, mount the product as fol-
lows. The effect of reection deviation by the edges of the steps can
be minimized by mounting the sensor in the correct direction.

●When measuring in narrow locations or inside holes, mount the prod-
uct so that optical path from the light emitting part to light-receiving
part is not interrupted.
● Mount the sensor to a wall as follows, so that the multiple light reec-
tions on the wall do not reach the light-receiving part. When the reec-
tion factor on the wall is high, it is effective to use a dull black color.

1-point teaching (window comparator mode)
This mode is used for setting the threshold range for the distance from the
reference value of the sensing object by performing a 1-point teaching. This
mode is used for sensing within the threshold range.
When performing the 1-point teaching (window comparator mode), preset
“Window comparator mode 1” in the sensing output setting of the PRO
mode. For the setting method, refer to section 12, “PRO mode setting.”

teaching.
When performing the 2-point teaching (window comparator mode), preset
“Window comparator mode 2” in the sensing output setting of the PRO
mode. For the setting refer to section 12, “PRO mode setting.”

ing differential mode’ oder ‘Trailing differential mode’ in the sensing output
setting of the PRO mode.
For the setting method, refer to section 12, “PRO mode setting.”

14 Cautions
●This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
●Make sure that the power supply is OFF before starting the wiring.
●If the wiring is performed incorrectly, it will cause a failure.
●Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines,
or put them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to
induction.
●Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
●If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure
that the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is con-
nected to an actual ground.
●If noise generating devices (switching regulators, inverter motors,
etc.) are used around the sensor mounting area, make sure to con-
nect the frame ground (FG) terminal of the device.
●Do not use this product during the transient state when the power
supply is turned ON.
●The overall length of the cable can be extended to 10m maximum
with a cable size of max. 0.3mm2.
●Make sure that stress by forcible bend or pulling is not applied to the
sensor cable joint.
●Although it depends on the type, light from rapid start type or high
frequency lighting type, uorescent lights, sunlight and etc. may affect
the sensing, therefore make sure to prevent direct incident light.
●This product is suitable for indoor use only.
● Keep water, oil, ngerprints and etc. which reect light, dust or par-
ticles etc. which interrupt the light, away from the emitting / receiving
surfaces of this product. If contaminants adhere to the surface, wipe
off with a dust-free soft cloth, or lens cleaning paper.
●Do not use the sensor in locations where there is excessive vapor,
dust or etc. or in an atmosphere where corrosive gases, etc. are
generated.
●Take care that the product does not come in contact with oil, grease,
organic solvents such as thinner, etc., strong acid or alkaline.
●Make sure to turn OFF the power supply, before cleaning the light
emitting / receiving windows of the sensor head.

2This is the size in the measurement center distance. These values were
dened by using 1/e2(approx. 13.5%) of the center light intensity. Due to leak
light outside the specied area, the reectance around the detecting point may
be higher than at the point and this may affect the measurement value.
