Power supply line
In order to stabilize power supply line, connect a by-pass capacitor of
ore than 0.01 F between Vcc and GND near the device.
Opaque board
Opaque board shall be installed at place 4 or ore fro the top of ele ents.
(Exa ple)
In case opaque board is the aterial with an low light blocking effect, There is a possibility of alfunctioning
because the light of LED trans its the opaque board. When you design the opaque board, please note trans ittance
of infrared rays wave length (950n ) and the thickness of the opaque board.
And, please adjust the a ount of trans itted light to 0.1% or less.
Cleaning
Please don't carry out i ersion cleaning or ultrasonic cleaning to avoid keeping solvent inside case of this device.
Washing aterial
Dust and stain shall clean by air blow, or shall clean by soft cloth soaked in washing aterials.
And washing aterial to clean shall be used the below aterials only.
Ethyl alcohol, Methyl alcohol, Isopropyl alcohol
Connector connection
For the electrical connection to the connector ter inal, please certainly use the connector specified
in this specifications.
Please avoid the connection by the soldering or welding which ay da age the ain body of the device,
and also avoid the contact by the clip and so on which ay cause the alfunction by the contact failure.
Please avoid the use condition that t it always occurs he vibration
in the spot where the connector fits in by the resonance of the sensor and the harness.
It ay cause the alfunction of the contact failure.
Put-in and pull-out of connector
The connection other than to the correct connection direction, forcing-into, and the pulling-out diagonally
(if being not put-in and pulled-out straight) ay defor or break the connector ter inal and/or housing,
which ay cause the unusable state of the device.
Interference light
Because the upper, botto and “Date Code” side are not covered by outer case,
please do not use this device under a bient light circu stances including infrared co ponent.
