Mounting the Sensor Head
• Fasten the sensor securely with M5 screws, using the 2 holes in the corners of the
sensor head. Limit tightening torque to within 1.2N·m. The depth of the holes is 10mm.
Take care of the length of screws to be used since the holes are not penetrated.
• Install the sensor head with the relative position of the object adjusted to the type
(50mm/85mm, diffused reflection/specular reflection) of equipment used, referencing
the installation dimension drawing starting, starting 2-5.
• It is possible to connect the sensor head (50mm) and another sensor head (85mm) at
the same time. The initial setting within the controller will correspond to the type of
equipment connected. When equipment of a different type is connected at the same
time, however, the upper/lower limit setting, hysteresis setting, and analog setting for
addition/subtraction operation will correspond to the type of equipment connected to
the head-1 side connector. When necessary, change setting contents.
• If the power supply is turned on with the connection changed (change in equipment
type: 50mm, 85mm, change in connection from 1-sensor head to 2-sensor head or vice
versa) from that when controller setting contents are saved, setting contents are
initialized. If the connection is incorrect, turn off the power supply to return the
connection to that when the controller setting was saved, then turn on the power supply
again, returning setting contents to that when the controller setting was saved. Note
that setting contents are not initialized when equipment is replaced with an equivalent
type or when the number of units is increased/decreased.
• Operate the sensor head within the temperature specification (sensor head: 0 to +45ºC,
controller: 0 to +50ºC, compact console: 0 to +50ºC).
• Service life of a semiconductor laser depends on ambient temperature during use. If
the sensor is used near a heat source, take cooling measures to lower ambient
temperature of the sensor head. The sensor generates heat, so mount the sensor head
on a unit having good heat radiation performance. *
* When installing 2 sensor heads in parallel at a 20mm or less interval, mount each
sensor head on an aluminum or iron plate having a 200cm

surface area.
