Connection
Environment
Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an
ambient temperature of +20°C.
2) This value was obtained at a co25°C.
3) The value is in the range from 20 to 60% of the maximum detection distance with a combination of
sensor head and controller.
4) When using the BCD output unit GP-XBCD, the analog voltage output of a controller becomes invalid.
5) Adjusted to a 0 and +5V factory setting.

Distance from surrounding metal
As metal around the sensor may affect the detection,
take care of the following.
<Embedding of the sensor in metal>
Measurement value or analogue voltage output may be
changed if the sensor is completely embedded in metal.
Keep the minimum distance specified in the table below.
If sensor heads are mounted close
together without using the interference
prevention function, reserve the distance
specified below.

The GP-X series is configured to satisfy the specification with the combination of the sensor head
and the controller. Use the sensor head and controller in combination without fail; with other
combinations, not only may the specifications may not be satisfied but also failure may result.
Turn the controller off before mounting or removing the sensor head and controller.
Note that the cables will be damaged if they are pulled.
Wait 15 minutes (or 20 minutes with GP-X3S and GP-X5S) after the power is turned on before
operation is started. There may be a variation in the measurements immediately after power-on
because the power circuit is not stable.
There is a muting time of about two seconds after the power is turned on.
Take care that wrong wiring may 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.
Make sure to use an isolation transformer for the DC power supply. If an auto-transformer
(single winding transformer) is used, this product or the power supply may get damaged.
In case a surge is generated in the used power supply, connect a surge absorber to the supply
and absorb the surge.
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.
Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.
The analog voltage output is incorporated with a short circuit protection circuit. Do not connect
it directly to a power supply or a capacitive load.
Be careful to avoid statically charging connectors during wiring work. A failure may result.
Use the exclusive extension cable for cable extension of the sensor head.(Overall length: 10m)
This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.
Take care that the sensor does not come in direct contact with water, oil, grease, or organic
solvents, such as, thinner, etc.
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.
Take care that stress is not directly applied to the cable joint.
This sensor is for indoor use only.
In case the sensor head is broken, the sensor head replacement is possible with same model.
(However, entering a characteristics code (ID code) and calibration are required)
Tighten the sensor head to the torque specified below.
Mounting with set screw
<Column type>
Use an M3, or less, cup-point set screw.

function is not used
Main Specifications
1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were
an ambient temperature of +20 .
2) The sensing range is specified for the standard sensing object.
3) The value represents 20 to 60% of the maximum sensing distance when combining the sensor

5) The given weight of the threaded type sensor head is value including the weight of the nut and
toothed lock washer.
6) If using the sensor in an environment where cutting oil droplets splatter, the sensor may be
deteriorated due to added substances in the oil. Please check the resistivity of the sensor against
the cutting oil you are using beforehand.
