 (13.5%) of the central intensity at the measurement center distance. Measurement may be influenced if there 

is light leakage outside the defined region and the surroundings of the target object have a high reflectance in comparison to the target 

object. Correct measured values may not be obtained if a workpiece with smaller diameter than the spot size is detected.

*

2. It shows the error in relation to the ideal curve of the displacement output when measuring OMRON's standard physical object (white 

ceramic) under the environment at 25°C.

*

3. Temperature characteristics at the center of sensing distance when the space between the sensor and workpiece is locked with aluminum jig.

*

4. Static definition with the background suppression function ON for tuning with STND mode and standard white ceramic. 

*

5. Connector-joint model cable: Use it together with a 10 m or 20 m extension cable.

*

6. The connector joint model connector section can achieve IP67 if it is connected via an extension cable.

Phenomena

Display is blank.

No digital display.

The Sensor restarts 

during operation.
Laser is not emitted.
[           ] appears in the display.
Input signal is not received.

Measured value is not 

stable, fluctuating depending 

on the day or time.

[         ] appears in the 

display.

OUT1 indicator/OUT2 
indicator blinks.

OUT1 indicator/OUT2 

indicator keeps turning ON 

even when the values are 

outside the measurement 

range.
An abnormal distance is 

detected in an area 

apparently out of the 

measurement range.

Want to reset to the 

initial setting.

  

Is LD OFF input not 
short-circuited?

Individual wires may not be 

correctly connected; or there 

may be a broken line.

Temperature characteristic 

may be the cause.

Is the detection distance 

not too long and out of the 

measurement range? 

Is the emitter surface not 

blocked by dust, dirt or a jig?
There may be mutual 

interference with other 

sensors.

A characteristic phenomenon 

that can sometimes occur with 

sensors.

Check the Sensor 

installation environment.

Check the installation environment 

and take measures to prevent the 

interference by other sensors 

such as laser beam path or 

reflected stray lights.

Check the measurement distance 

between the target object and the Sensor.

Reset the settings.                        

Is the power supply ON? 

Are the cables not broken?

Is the Eco function not 

turned ON?

Turn OFF the Eco function. 

Check the wiring, the power 

supply voltage and capacity. 

Check the wiring. 

Perform warming up at least 

for 30 minutes. Periodically 

zero-reset the value using 

a standard target object 

for compensation.

Cause

Remedy

Set the Background Suppression 

function to: [         ] = [    ] and 

perform smart tuning. 

Check the wiring. 

The Keep function may be set: 

[           ] = [      ], and reception light 

level may be insufficient: 

[           ] or the value may be outside 

the measurement range: [            ].

Avoid regular reflected light from entering into the sensor. The 
light reception level is equal to or more than the limited sentivity 
during background suppression function operation.

Delay response time or adjust the distance between Sensor 

and workpiece so that the S ensor can detect it. The light 

reception level is equal to or less than the limited sentivity 

during background suppression function operation.
