Connect both the synchronization wires.
Connect both the 0V wires in common.
Although both the +V wires need not be
connected in common, they must be at
the same voltage.
To use the test input function, connect a
switch between the external input wire
and 0V. If this function is not used, insu-
late the external input wire.

Make sure to carry out the wiring in the power supply off condition.
Take care that wrong wiring will damage the sensor.
Verify that the supply voltage variation is 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 run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or
put them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to
induction.
Do not use during the initial transient time (1.5 sec.) after the power
supply is switched on.
Do not use the sensor without the front cover or the enclosure. IP
protection cannot be maintained and a contact failure may occur
between modular units.
Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
Take care that the product does not come in direct contact with organic
solvents, such as, thinner, etc.
Take care that the sensor is not directly exposed to fluorescent light from a
rapid-starter lamp or a high frequency lighting device, as it may affect the
sensing performance .
This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
Extension up to total 20m is possible with 0.5mm2, or
more, cable for both emitter and receiver.
Install the sensor where it cannot be affected by a
beam reflected from a machinery frame or a
workpiece. If the reflected beam is received, beam
interruption is not achieved.
The emitter and the receiver must face
each other corrctly. If they are set
upside down, the sensor does not work.
Make sure that stress is not applied
directly to the sensor cable joint.
When mounting the sensor, the tighten-
ing torque should be 2N·m or less.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

TEST INPUT FUNCTION

Fixing ring
Fixing ring
When two sets are used with interference prevention, connect the external input
wire that is not connected to the synchronization wire to 0V (refer to
‘ CONNECTIONS’). This stops the emission of both sensors.
Note:
Making the external input wire (pink) Low stops the emission and turns
off the emitting indicator. Because this function turns the output on and
off without any object, it is useful for a start-up test.
Connect together the synchronization
wires of both the sensors.
Connect both the 0V wires in common.
Although both the +V wires need not
be connected in common, they must be
at the same voltage.
Connect the external input wire of Sen-
sor B to synchronization wire of Sensor
A to prevent interference between Sen-
sor A and Sensor B.
To use the test input function, connect
a switch between the external input
wire of Sensor A and 0V. If this
function is not used, insulate the
external input wire.

If the output follows the change (High and Low) of the external input, the
sensor is normal. If it does not, the sensor is in abnormal condition.
Slide the cover stopper in the direction
of the arrow and pull the front cover
upward.
Remove the four fixing screws on the
rear face.
Pull the modules upward one by one
with your hands.
Arrange the required protection
enclosure and front cover that matches
the required sensing height, and
connect the relay units and the end
cap.
Tighten the four fixing screws and
insert the front cover by pulling the
cover stoppwe back.

Be sure to turn the power supply off before linking units.
If this is not done, the sensor may get damaged.
Do not apply excess force to the units while linking.
Be sure to put the end cap on the top.
The fixing screws are attached to the protection enclosure.
