Tolerance in precise range (4th to 1st grade)
_ Within the precise range, color is identified in all aspects of hue, chroma, and
lightness. Hence, the sensor can discriminate the reference color from others
even if there is a subtle difference in glossiness or density.
_ After the tolerance is set within the precise range, the sensor should be used un-
der an ambient temperature of +15 to +35°C. Also, periodical teaching should be
done to maintain the stable sensing conditions. Before teaching, wait for a warm-
up time of 10min. approx. after switching on the power supply.
_ Please take care that extraneous light or vibration may affect the detectability.

CAUTIONS
This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.
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.
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 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 (0.5 sec.) after the power supply is
switched on.

starter lamp, a high frequency lighting device or sunlight etc., as it may affect the
sensing performance.
Extension up to total 100m, or less, is possible with 0.3mm

, or more, cable. How-
ever, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.
Make sure that stress by forcible bend or pulling is not applied to the sensor cable
joint.
This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
Do not use this sensor in places having excessive vapor, dust, etc., or where it
may come in contact with corrosive gas, etc.
Take care that the sensor does not come in contact with water, oil, grease, organic
solvents, such as, thinner etc., strong acid or alkaline.

In case teaching is not properly done.
The power indicator (green) keeps blinking. The sensor still stays in the waiting state.
Make sure of the perpendicularity of the sample object to the beam axis, the set-

the sample passes through the beam, and the consistency of the background
color during the teaching. Then, run the sample object again.
If your reference color is similar to the background color, the teaching may fail if the

to the contrast between these colors. Then, run the sample object again.

Set teaching protect switch on “LOCK”.
If you want to change to manual-teaching while the sensor is in the auto-teaching
waiting state, set the setting mode selection switch on “MANUAL”.
The sensor enters the teaching error state with the operation indicator (red) and
the power indicator (green) blinking alternately. Now, carry out manual-teaching.
To stop teaching during the auto-teaching waiting state, switch off the power supply once.
If the output operation mode switch and the timer operation mode switch are
operated during the auto-teaching waiting state, although the operation indicator
operates, the output does not change till auto-teaching is completed.

Setting tolerance
The tolerance adjuster determines the tolerance of equiva-
lence with respect to the reference color in 16 grades.
Set the arrow mark of the adjuster to the desired grade from
1st to 16th using the adjusting screwdriver.

When the grade is changed, the output is turned ON, once, for resetting.
Even if the grade is changed, the reference color taught earlier does not change
until the sensor is taught again.
When performing auto-teaching, it is possible that teaching may fail depending
upon the tolerance grade. If this happens, change the tolerance grade and repeat
the teaching.
For 16th to 5th grade, color identification is done based upon the color (red,
green, blue) component ratio. For 4th to 1st grade (precise range), brightness
