Cautions
● This product has been developed/produced for industrial use only.
● This product is suitable for indoor use only.
● Make sure to add or remove amplifiers with the power OFF.
● If you apply a voltage exceeding the rated range or if an AC power
supply is connected directly, the product may get burnt or damaged.
● Shortcircuiting the load or wrong wiring may burn or damage the
product.
● 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.
● Avoid using the product where there are strong magnetic fields as they
may prevent the product from working according to the specification.
● Verify that the supply voltage including the ripple 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.
● In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator, inverter
motor, etc.) is used in the vicinity of this product, connect the frame
ground (F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an actual ground.
● Do not apply stress directly to the sensor cable joint or the fiber cable
by forcibly bending or pulling.
● The ultra long response time settings U-LG and HYPR are more likely
to be affected by extraneous noise since the sensitivity is higher than
with other response times. Test the behavior of the product before use.
● Do not use during the initial transient time after the power supply is
switched ON.
● You can extend the cable up to 20m max. with 0.3mm
2
min. cable.
However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as pos-
sible.
● Set the power supply voltage by considering the voltage drop resulting
from the conduction resistance of the cable.
● Do not use the product in dusty or dirty places or in places that are
exposed to steam.
● Protect the sensor from water, oil, grease, organic solvents such as
thinner, etc., strong acid, and alkaline.
● This product cannot be used in an environment containing inflam-
mable or explosive gasses.
● Never disassemble or modify the product.
● This product uses a non-volatile memory. Due to the non-volatile memory’s
lifetime, do not expect to make settings more than 100 thousand times.

Notes
1. For the IO-Link communication setting, refer to the attached sheet, “Index List”
(IMJE-FXLINDEXV1EN 09/2018)
2. When the product is used as a general-purpose sensor, the IO-Link communica-
tion output (C/Q) provides the same output operation as the control output (DO).
3. This value is applicable when the cable length is 2m.
4. The response time varies depending on the emission frequency setting. For more
details refer to <PRO3> in the section 12 “PRO MODE”
5. When the interference prevention function is used, hysteresis increases. Before
using this function, check the detection conditions.
6. Do not use or store in an environment pressurized to atmospheric pressure or
higher at an altitude of 0m.
7. The number of units installed is applicable when units are installed close to each
other.
