1.1 Safety Cautions (Always observe)
1-2 WUME-HGS-11

1.2 Safety Information
● Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection.
● When using sensing devices for personnel protection, use products that meet the laws
and standards for personnel protection that apply in each region or country, such as
OSHA, ANSI and IEC.
● For the controller DC power supply, only use a power supply that is isolated by means of
an isolation transformer or otherwise.
● Risk of short-circuiting and damage to the controller or power supply if a transformer such
as an auto transformer is used. Risk of short-circuiting and damage to the controller or
power supply if incorrectly mounted or connected.
● The controller HG-SC series is designed to be used with the special sensor head HG-S
series. If used with other than the special sensor head option, the specifications will not
be met and product malfunctioning or damage may occur.
Specifications
● This device has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
● This product uses an EEPROM. The EEPROM has a service life of one million setting
operations.
● Do not use this product outside the range of the specifications. Risk of an accident and
product damage. There is also a risk of a noticeable reduction of service life.
● Deviations may occur in the judgment value at the bottom dead point. Do not use the
bottom dead point as a standard.
Power
● Verify that the supply voltage fluctuations are 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 connected to an actual ground.
● Do not use during the initial transient time after the power supply is switched ON.
Wiring and Installation
● Make sure that the power supply is OFF while performing wiring or expansion work on the
controller.
● Take care that short-circuit of the load or wrong wiring may burn or damage the product.
● After you have completed wiring work, check the wiring carefully before switching on the
power.
● Do not wire in parallel with a high-voltage line or power line, or run through the same
conduit. Risk of malfunctioning due to induction.
● Do not apply stress such as excessive bending or pulling to the extracted part of a cable.
● When attaching the sensor head connection cable to this product, take care not to apply
force to the product.
● Only one joint (optional) can be installed to one sensor head.
1.2 Safety Information
WUME-HGS-11 1-3

● If the Low measuring force type (HG-S1010R/HG-S1110R) is mounted in a lateral position
and used with a roller-type probe (HG-SS40U, optional), the joint (optional) cannot be used.
Usage environment
● This product is suitable for indoor use only.
● Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
● Do not use this sensor in places where it may come in contact with corrosive gas, etc.
● Ensure that the product does not come into contact with organic solvents such as thinner.
● Ensure that the product does not come into contact with strong acid or alkaline.
● Ensure that the product does not come into contact with oil or grease.
● This product cannot be used in an environment containing flammable or explosive gases.
● Performance may not be satisfactory in a strong electromagnetic field.
● This product is a precision device. Do not drop or otherwise subject to shock. Risk of
product damage.
● Ensure that strong horizontal force is not applied to the spindle. This may cause loss of
accuracy and decreased durability.
Handling (Regular type)
● Never remove the standard rubber bellows except for replacement. Risk of product damage
due to infiltration by dust, water, or other contaminants.
● The standard rubber bellows is a consumable part. Replace it regularly as a preventive
maintenance.The rubber bellows can deteriorate quickly depending on usage environment.
If it deteriorates, it generates cracks and other problems,causing dust and water to enter
and resulting in a malfunction.
Handling (Air-driven type)
● Mount a pressure-reducing valve to use the product within the allowable working pressure
range. Excessive pressure may result in failure or damage.
● Do not use air containing dust, water, oil, or other foreign matter. Doing so may result in
electric shock or failure. To prevent such problems, take appropriate measures such as
installing air filters or mist separators.
● When performing maintenance, inspection, or cleaning, make sure to completely shut off
the air supply to ensure that the pressure in the product and piping has been reduced to
zero. Air pressure may cause an accident or product damage.
Other matters
● Never attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the product.
● When the product becomes unusable or unneeded, dispose of the product appropriately as
industrial waste.
