Setting and Display Overview

[NO/NC Indicator: Orange] 

Indicates current NO/NC setting.

[GO Indicator Orange]

Turns ON when judged as

GO. The up/down arrows 

on the right indicate 

HIGH/LOW judgment result. 

[Preset Indicator: Green]

[ST Indicator: Blue]

Turns ON when Tolerance setting is in progress.

Displays the measured value.

Indication is in 0.1

μ

m step.

Minute Threshold Adjustment

[UP/DOWN] Button

Changes a threshold value. During the area setting, H or L is

displayed on the left of the threshold value you are setting, 

allowing identification of HIGH or LOW threshold value that 

is being set 

Mode/OUT Switch

[MODE] Button
Switches the threshold value to set by short pressing to HIGH or 

LOW. Pressing and holding for 3 seconds or longer switches 

between setting and detection modes.

Output Switch

[NO/NC] Button

Switches the polarity of the 

external output. 

When reference point use setting is ON (See 3 Convenient
Setting Features)
The measured value is not displayed until the measuring 
unit passes the reference point after power ON.
When the reference point is used, turn on the power with 
the spindle extended as far as possible, and then move 
the spindle 1.5 mm or more. 

Tolerance Setting Button

re.

 Installation Environment

·  Do not use the product in environments subject to 

fl

ammable or explosive gases.

·  To secure the safety of operation and maintenance, do not install the product close to 

high-voltage devices and power devices.

·  Do not use the product in any atmosphere or environment that exceeds the ratings.
·  Do not use the product in environments subject to exposure to water, oil, chemicals, etc.

 Power Supply and Wiring

·  Do not impose voltage exceeding the rated voltage: 10 to 30 VDC, including 10% ripple (p-p).
·  Do not apply voltages or currents that exceed the rated ranges.
·  When supplying power to the product, make sure that the polarity of the power is correct, 

and do not connect to an AC power supply.

·  Do not miswire such as the polarity of the power supply.
·  Do not apply any load exceeding the ratings.
·  Connect the load correctly.
·  Do not short both ends of the load.
·  Do not short-circuit the open collector output load.
·  Be sure to turn OFF the power when you plug/unplug the connector with the measuring 

unit, connect/disconnect with the digital tolerance indicator, or add digital tolerance 
indicators.

·  High-Voltage lines and power lines must be wired separately from this product. Wiring 

them together or placing them in the same duct may cause induction, resulting in 
malfunction or damage.

 Installation

·  Do not install the product in locations subjected to strong magnetic 

fi

eld or electric 

fi

eld.

 Others

·  Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the product in any way.
·  Do not use the product if the case is damaged.
·  When disposing of the product, treat it as industrial waste.
·  When making setting, be sure to check safety such as by stopping the equipment.

 Installation Location

·  Do not install the product in the following locations.
(1) Locations subject to direct sunlight
(2) Locations subject to condensation due to high humidity
(3) Locations subject to corrosive gas
(4) Locations subject to vibration or mechanical shocks exceeding the rated values
(5) Place where there are dusts, salt contents or iron powders

 Power Supply and Wiring

·  It may take time for the measurement to stabilize right after the power is turned ON, 

depending on the environment.

·  Output pulses may occur when the power supply is turned OFF. Turn OFF the power supply 

to the load or load line 

fi

rst.

·  The product is ready to operate 1.5s after the power supply is turned ON. If the digital 

tolerance indicator and load are connected to power supplies separately, turn ON the power 
supply to the product 

fi

rst.

·  Be sure to turn OFF the power when you plug/unplug the connector with the measuring unit, 

connect/disconnect with the digital tolerance indicator, or add digital tolerance indicator.

·  Extended length on the digital tolerance indicator end must be up to 30 m. For extension, use a 

cable with 0.3 mm

2

 larger.

 Installation

·  Do not apply the forces on the cord exceeding the following limits:Pull: 40 N; torque: 0.1 N·m; 

pressure: 20 N; bending: 3 kg

·  Do not pull or twist the measuring unit connector with excessive force when it is fixed to the 

digital tolerance indicator. (9.8 N or less)

 Others

·  Always keep the protective cover in place when using the product. Not doing so may cause 

malfunction.

·  Do not use thinner, benzine, acetone, and lamp oil for cleaning.

·  Digital tolerance indicator: 1      ·  Instruction Sheet (this sheet)
