Cautions Concerning Handling of Laser
Light
A semiconductor laser is used as the sensor's light source.
The laser is classified based on IEC standards (EN 60825).
Wavelength 685nm
Maximum
Output 1mW
Class 2
Cautions:
1) Be careful to never look directly at the laser beam or look directly at its reflection
from a mirror surface.
2) Mount the sensor at a height that is higher than eye level or lower than eye level,
so that the beam will not shine directly into your eyes during operation.
The safety distance (Nominal Optical Harm Distance: NOHD) is approximately
0.6m, but make sure the laser beam hits a diffusing reflector or an absorbing
body.
3) Laser beam emission can be stopped, using the timing input supplied at the
input terminal (see TM1 and TM2 on page 3-5 and page 5-5). Or, select "Open
circuit" for the input operation of the timing input terminal (see page 5-22) to use
the terminal for a remote interlock input.
4) The sensor head in this device is not equipped with a function that stops laser
radiation automatically when it is disassembled, so be sure to contact SUNX if it
breaks down.
There is danger of laser radiation occurring if the head is disassembled for
repairs, etc.
5) Do not use the device in operation methods other than those specified in this
Instruction Manual.
Caution - You may be exposed to hazardous laser radiation if the device is
controlled or adjusted in procedures not specified in this manual.
6) Read the contents of the warning label shown below carefully before use.
The warning label is affixed to the side of the sensor head. The English warning
label is packed with the sensor, so be sure to follow the instructions printed on it

Correct Handling Method
Be careful of the following points when installing and using this product.
1. About Warming Up Time
- Allow at least 30 minutes of warming up time after turning on the power to assure
optimum performance.
2. About the Use Environment
Ambient Temperature, Humidity, Luminance
- Use this product in the temperature specification range (sensor head: 0 to +45°C,
controller: 0 to +50°C, compact console: 0 to +40°C). If the sensor is to be stored,
the temperature range during storage should be -20 to +70°C
- The service life of a semiconductor laser is dependent on the ambient temperature
during use. If the product is used near a heat source, take measures to lower the
ambient temperature of the sensor head as far as possible. As well, because the
sensor itself emits a heat, mount the sensor on a body having a good heat
radiation performance.
- Use the sensor in a range of 35 to 85% RH relative humidity. However, avoid use in
places where there is a possibility of sudden temperature fluctuations which could
cause condensation to occur.
- Concerning illumination, use the sensor in a location where the luminance at the
light sensor from incandescent lamps is 3,000 lx or less.
Power Supply Voltage
- The power supply voltage should be within the rated voltage range of 21.6 to 26.4V
DC during use.
Environment
- If the external surge voltage exceeds 500V [
r
(1.250) Ǵs unipolar full wave
voltage], the internal circuit may be destroyed. If there is danger of external surge
voltages exceeding 500V, install a surge protector between the power supply and
the input terminal.
- Water or oil, or fingerprints, etc. on the sensor's light emitter or light receptor
surfaces refracts light, and dust or dirt cuts off the light, so be sure to keep the
sensor clean at all times so these substances do not adhere. When cleaning these
parts, wipe them off using a soft lint-free cloth or lens cleaning paper.

5
- Set the sensor head so that stray light such as sunlight or light with the same
wavelength, etc. does not enter the light receptor. If an extraordinary accuracy is
necessary, install a light shielding plate or the like at the sensor.
- The sensor head is a waterproof device, but this does not mean that it can be
mounted underwater or in places where rain falls. Also, due to their construction,
the controller and connectors are not dustproof, waterproof or corrosion resistant,
so do not use it in an environment where such characteristics are required.
- Do not use this product in places where flammable or corrosive gases are
generated, places where there is a lot of dust, where there is dripping water, where
it will be exposed to direct sunlight or where there are severe vibrations or impacts.
3. Noise Countermeasures
- Do not run the sensor cable along (bundled in parallel with) other wiring, and keep
it at least 100mm from other wires. Also run the cable so that it is separate from the
high voltage lines and power circuit lines. If running the lines in parallel cannot be
avoided, shield the cable by running it through a grounded electrical conduit, etc.
- For input signal lines and output signal lines, run them separately, not in parallel,
with power lines and power supply lines, keeping them at least 100mm apart. In
addition, keep all the various signal lines as short as possible when connecting
them.
- Install this product as far away as possible from high-voltage lines, power lines,
high voltage device, wireless devices and machines which generate a large
starting and stopping surge.
- If a large amount of electrical noise is generated in the power supply, the analog
outputs will be affected. In such a case, use a noise filter or a noise dampened
transformer.
- Use shielded cables for signal wires such as those for serial input and output and
I/O terminals to reduce electric noise, and connect the shielding wire to the frame
ground.
- It is easy for analog outputs to be influenced by noise, especially from external
sources, so use shielded wires, and keep the wiring as short as possible.
- Use an exclusive class D ground in accordance with the functional ground terminal,
and avoid grounding this device in common with other devices. If it is grounded in
common with other devices, the opposite effect may be obtained.

4. Insulation Resistance and Voltage Resistance
- Do not perform insulation resistance and voltage resistance tests between the
power supply, input and output signals and the metal parts of the controller.
5. Power Supply
- Select a power supply with a ripple of 0.5V or less (P-P) and a current capacity of
2A or more.
- When a commercial switching regulator is used, always use it with the frame
ground (F.G.) terminal connected to ground to avoid the influence of high
frequency noise.
- When using a transformer in the power supply, be sure to use an insulated
transformer. If an auto transformer (single turn transformer) is used, this product or
the power supply may be damaged.
- Do not turn the controller's power on again within 10 seconds after turning the
power off.
- Use an insulated type power supply with a built-in protective circuit to protect
against abnormal voltages from the power line.
- If a power supply without an internal protective circuit is used, be sure to supply
power via a protective element such as a fuse.
6. Instantaneous Power Failures
- If the duration of an instantaneous power failure is 10ms or less, operation
continues.
- If the duration of an instantaneous power failure is 10 to 45ms, one of the following
occurs.
(1) Operation continues.
(2) The analog output changes temporarily and the BRIGHT and DARK indicators
blink, then the sensor recovers automatically.
(3) The state changes to the reset state.
- If the duration of an instantaneous power failure is more than 45ms, the state
changes to the reset state.

7
7. Installation
Controller
- Install the controller unit in accordance with "Considerations Concerning Heat
Radiation" on page 2-2, assuring plenty of space around the unit. If it is installed in
a manner that is not in accordance with instructions, it could cause malfunction due
to the rise in temperature, etc.
- If the controller is mounted on a control board, etc. internally where air circulation is
blocked, the ambient temperature will rise due to heat generated by the controller,
so use forced cooling.
- If multiple units are installed in series, they can be mounted against each other only
if they are installed vertically.
- Ventilation holes for heat radiation are provided in the controller body. Be sure to provide
adequate space for the radiating heat to dissipate.
Wire Connections, Connectors
- Connect all the wiring securely in accordance with the input and output circuit
explanations and according to the markings indicated on the body. Be careful not
to make mistakes in wiring.
- When connecting and disconnecting connectors, and when making all connections,
make sure that the controller's power is turned off.
- When connecting and disconnecting connectors, be sure to take hold of the
connector body, being careful not to exert undue force on the cables.
- Be careful not to touch the terminals or let foreign matter get in the connector when
disconnecting the connectors.
- Be careful to keep from applying force to each of the cables near to the connectors.
Also, do not bend the cables near the connectors, as this causes the wires to be
broken.
Cables
- Do not pull the cable at a force more than
29.4N when routing the cable after fixing the
sensor head and controller. Do not allow
30mm or a shorter bending radius in the cable
path. Also, do not bend the cable at a place
within 20mm of the sensor head's cable inlet.
- If the sensor head is to be used in a situation
where it is moved during operation, mount it
so that the cable will not be flexed during movement. If flexure is necessary, use an
extension cable that can be replaced.
20mm or more
R30 or more
