MUTUAL INTERFERENCE
Separate each Sensor as specified in the following table when using more than two Sensors in close proximity to each other.

ENVIRONMENT
Install the Sensor in clean environment ensuring that the
filter on Sensor’s front panel is kept free from oil and dust.
Do not use the Laser Displacement Sensor in a strong
electromagnetic field or in an environment where the
operation of the Sensor is subjected to the reflection of
intensive light (such as, light from a laser beam or an electric
arc welding machine).
Cleaning
If the filter is affected by oil or dust, clean it as follows:
1.
Use a small air blowing device (like that used to clean
camera lenses) to remove dust particles from the surface.
Do not attempt to blow the dust away with your mouth.
2.
Use a soft cloth (for lenses) moistened with alcohol to
remove the remaining dust. Do not use a scrubbing action
when cleaning; a scratch on the filter could result in the
Sensor malfunctioning.
The Laser Displacement Sensor cannot accurately detect
objects that are mirror-like, transparent, inclined or have an
extremely small reflection ratio (smaller than the Sensor’s
sensing spot diameter).
DANGER!
Do not wire the power supply cable for the Z4M Sensor in
the same conduit with high-voltage lines or power lines. The
result would be interference, damage, or malfunction.
WIRING
A Z49-C1 Extension Cable can be connected to the Sensor
cable or to the amplifier cable. The total length of the Sensor
cables or amplifier cables must not exceed 10 m (32.91 ft.).
To extend the amplifier cable, use a shielded cable of the
same kind.
POWER SUPPLY
Do not use an autotransformer. Use of an autotransformer
may cause the Z4M to malfunction.
