1.1 Safety Precautions (Always observe)
This section explains important rules that must be observed to prevent personal injury and
property damage.
■Safety precautions items are classified into “WARNING” and “CAUTION”
depending on the level of hazard.
Risk of death or serious injury.
Risk of minor injury or property damage.
● Do not use this product as a sensing device for personal protection. Using this product as
a sensing device for personal protection may result in death or serious injury.
● For sensing devices for personal protection, use products that conform to the laws and
standards related to personal protection in each country, such as OSHA, ANSI, and IEC.
● This product is intended to be used to detect target objects and is not provided with
control functions that prevent accidents to ensure safety.
● Avoid observing beams in a dark surrounding environment.
● Do not stare into laser beam with an optical device such as telephoto optics.
● Never attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify this product.
● Controlling or adjusting the product according to procedures other than those specified in
this User’s Manual may lead to dangerous exposure to laser radiation.

Indicates supplemental information.
Indicates details about the subject in question or information useful to remember.
Indicates operation procedures.
■Handling precautions
Specifications
●This product has been developed and manufactured for industrial use only.
●Do not use this product outside the scope of the specifications. Doing so may result in
accidents or failures.
It will also significantly shorten the service life.
● There is a certain deviation in the directivity of this product. When using this product, install
the product using a mounting bracket or similar fitting to allow the adjustment of beam axis.
● The internal memory (non-volatile memory) of this product has a service life. Settings
cannot be configured more than one million times.
● Due to leak light around the detection point, the measurement values may be affected if
there exist objects with high reflectance around the detecting point.
● If specular reflection light enters the beam receiving part, proper measurement may not be
possible. When the reflectance of a detection object is high, be careful in installation.
● Do not perform wiring or maintenance with wet hands. Doing so may cause an electric
shock.
Power supply
● Verify that the supply voltage fluctuations are within the rating when using the product. Note
that applying a voltage greater than the rated voltage or directly applying AC power will
result in damage or burning.
● To ensure performance, use the product at least 30 minutes (warm-up time) after the power
is turned ON.
● If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that the frame ground
(F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual ground.
● Make sure that the power supply input satisfies the following items.
1. The power supply unit must be certified for use in your region
2. The output holding time of the power supply unit must be 20 ms or more
3. The power supply unit must have the rated output voltage of 24 VDC ± 10 % and the
ripple (P/P) of 0.5 V or less, and current capacity of 0.5 A or more.
4. The power supply unit with SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or PELV (Protective Extra
Low Voltage) that comply with the EMC Directive must be used (if the CE marking
compliance is required).
1.2 Handling Precautions

Ramco Innovations www.ramcoi.com Got Questions? Phone [phone] Email [email protected]

5. The power supply unit with SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) or PELV (Protective Extra
Low Voltage) that comply with the EMC Regulations must be used (if the UKCA
marking compliance is required).
6. The power supply unit must support Class 2 (if marking compliance is
required).
●If surges occur, take countermeasures such as connecting a surge absorber to the source
of the surges.
● If large noise is generated in the power supply line, the analog output is affected. In that
case, use a noise filter or noise cut transformer.
● When using a transformer in the power supply line, be sure to use an isolation transformer.
If an autotransformer is used, this product or power supply may be damaged.
● To protect the system against erroneous voltage from the power supply line, use an
insulated power supply with an internal protective circuit.
● If using a power supply unit without a protective circuit, be sure to supply power via a
protective element such as a fuse.
● Have the power supply sequence such that the power supply of the sensor turns ON before
the power supply for the input and output.
● Have the power supply sequence such that the power supply for the input and output turns
OFF before the power supply of the sensor.
● After turning OFF the power supply of the sensor, wait for at least ten seconds before
turning ON the power supply.
● After the power is turned ON, the starting up operation before reaching the operation status
is unstable. During the starting up operation, all the outputs are not determined yet, so do
not use those outputs.
● Never turn OFF the power supply in the middle of saving the settings such as teaching or
PRO mode settings. In the worst case, the memory in the sensor may be damaged and
restarting may not be possible.
● Depending on the instantaneous power failure time, there are cases where the operation is
continued or where the operation is reset to the initial state as when the power is turned
ON. Do not use the product in an environment where instantaneous power failure may
occur.
Wiring
● Before wiring work, always turn the power off.
● Do not wire in parallel with a high-voltage line or power line, or run through the same
conduit. Doing so may result in malfunctioning due to induction.
● Apply a load so that a current of 50 mA or more does not flow through the control output
line. Also avoid incorrect wiring such as polarity connection error of the power supply.
Failure to do so may cause damage or burning.
● The overall length of the cable can be extended to 10 m maximum with a cable size of 0.3
mm2 or more. Use a shielded cable to extend the analog wire line.
● Avoid wiring the sensor cable together with other wiring (bundling in parallel) and, instead,
separate the sensor cable from other wiring as much as possible. Also, separate the sensor
cable from high voltage circuit or power circuit. If unavoidable, shield the sensor cable with
conductor such as a grounded conduit.
● For signal lines such as I/O terminals, it is recommended to use a shielded cable to prevent
noise.
● Separate the input signal line and output signal line from the power line and power supply
line as much as possible. Furthermore, make each line as short as possible for connecting
various signal lines.
