●Exporting to the USA
If this product is incorporated into facilities or equipment to be exported to the
USA, it is subject to the laser regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administra-
tion (FDA). To prevent laser products from a󰀨ecting their users, PART1040 (Per-
formance Standards for Light-Emitting Products) was established as one of the
FDA regulations. These standards classify laser products into classes according
to the hazard level of laser and prescribe safety and preventive measures that
should be implemented for each class.
This product complies with the FDA regulations (FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and
1040.11) in accordance with FDA Laser Notice No. 56, except for complying with
IEC 60825-1 Ed. 3. (Class 1 Laser Product)
When exporting this product to the USA, a󰀩x the FDA certicate / identication

3CAUTIONS
Specications
●This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
● Do not use this product outside the range of the specications. Doing so will cause an
accident or product failure. There is also a risk of a noticeable reduction of service life.
● There is a certain deviation in the directionality of this product. When using this product, install
the product using a mounting bracket or similar tting to allow the adjustment of beam axis.
●The internal memory (non-volatile memory) of this product has a service life. Set-
tings cannot be congured more than one million times.
●Leaked light exists around the detection point, and if an object with high reec-
tance is present around the detection point, this product may be a󰀨ected by that.
●If a regular reection light enters the beam receiving window, proper measure-
ment may not be possible. If the reectance of the detected object is high, careful-
ly select the installation location.
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 ap-
plying AC power will cause 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 satises the following items.
1) The power supply unit must be certied for use in your region.
2) The power supply unit must have an output holding time of 20 ms or more.
3) The power supply unit must have the rated output voltage of 24 V DC± 10%
and the ripple (P-P) of 10% or less.
4) The power supply unit must provide SELV (safety extra low voltage) or PELV
(protective extra low voltage) conrming to the EMC Directive if the CE mark-
ing compliance is required.
5) The power supply unit must provide SELV (safety extra low voltage) or PELV
(protective extra low voltage) conrming to the EMC Regulations if the UKCA
marking compliance is required.
6) The power supply unit must support Class 2 if CTÜVUS marking compliance is required.
●If surges occur, take countermeasures such as connecting a surge absorber to
the source of the surges.
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.
● Arrange the load to ensure that a current of 50 mA or higher does not ow to the
control output line. Also avoid incorrect wiring such as polarity connection error of
the power supply. Failure to do so will cause damage or burning.
●The overall length of the cable can be extended to 10m maximum with a cable
size of 0.3 mm2or more. Use a shielded cable to extend the analog line.
● Do not apply stress such as excessive bending or pulling to the extracted part of a cable.
Usage Environment
●This product is suitable for indoor use only.
●Do not install the sensor in the following locations.
• Locations subject to ammable gas, corrosive gas, or excessive dust
• Locations subject to dust, metal particles, or saline matter
• Locations subject to benzine, paint thinner, alcohol or other organic solvents or
strong alkaline solutions such as ammonia or caustic soda
• Locations subject to severe vibration or shock
• Locations subject to direct sunlight
• Locations subject to water, oil, or chemicals
• Locations where load is applied to the sensor
●Avoid using this product in environments where condensation occurs due to sud-
den temperature change.
● Performance may not be satisfactory in a strong electromagnetic eld.
● Take care that the sensor is not directly exposed to uorescent lamp from a rap-
id-starter lamp, a high frequency lighting device or sunlight etc., as it may a󰀨ect
the sensing performance, although it depends on the type.
●Keep the light emitting and receiving windows of this product clean and free of
water, oil, ngerprints, and other substances that refract light as well as dust, grit,
and other objects that intercept light. When cleaning the surfaces, wipe o󰀨 con-
taminants with a lint-free soft cloth or lens cleaning paper.
●Make sure to turn OFF the power supply before cleaning the light emitting and
receiving windows of this product.
●This product is a precision device. Do not drop or otherwise subject to shock. Do-
ing so will cause product failure.
●If a background object is present at the specic region shown below, a distance
di󰀨erent from the actual distance may be displayed owing to the sensing principle.
Please check actual operation in the actual usage environment.

play is displayed and then press and hold the UP key for three seconds or longer.
The display changes to the Emitted beam spot check mode.
Hold down for 3 seconds
<Measurement display> < Emitted beam spot check mode display>
2. Spot beam is emitted from this product in a one second cycle. Check the spot
beam and adjust the beam axis while moving the sensor.
Spot beam
●When the Emitted beam spot check mode is used, sensing objects cannot be measured.
●By holding down the UP key for three seconds or longer while the Emitted beam
spot check mode is used, you can deactivate the Emitted beam spot check mode.
●The display automatically returns to the measurement display when two minutes
elapses after the sensor is set to the Emitted beam spot check mode. Press
and hold the UP key for three seconds or longer again to continuously adjust the
beam axis to set to the Emitted beam spot check mode.

6MOUNTING AND WIRING
Mounting Method
●When mounting this product, use M3 screws (prepare separately).
Use a tightening torque of 0.5 N∙m or less for mounting.
M3 (Length: 25 mm)
Screw with washer
(Mounting hole spacing)
18 mm
37 mm
● When using multiple sensors, mount them so that emitted laser spot beams do
not directly enter the beam receiving parts of sensors other than the beam-emit-
ting sensor to avoid mutual interference. Also, mount them so that spot beams
projected onto the workpiece do not overlap with the spot beams of other sensors.
● Do not mount the sensors closely side by side to prevent the temperature of the
sensors from rising to more than the specied point due to heat generation.
●To prevent screws from loosening and falling, take a measure to prevent loos-
ening of screws, such as use of screw and washer assemblies, depending on
usage conditions.
●Use the tightening torque of 0.5 N·m or less even when using the simple mount-
ing bracket MS-HG-01 (optional).
