CAUTIONS ON HANDLING LASER LIGHT

 

 In order to prevent the accident by laser product and protect the users, JIS C 

6802

-2014

 “Safety of laser products” was established based on the regulation of 

IEC (International electrotechnical Commission). This regulation classifies laser 

products according to the level of hazard, and provides the safety measures for 

respective classes.

HL-C201A

 WARNING  label

<Label position>

In Chinese

In Japanese / English 

/ Korean

(E type only)

 

 Install the product so the laser beam comes higher or lower than eye level in order 

not to watch the beam directly during operation.

 

 Please contact our company if the system breaks down. It is not equipped with a 

function that stops laser radiation automatically during disassembling the sensor 

head. The users therefore may be exposed to laser beam in disassembling the 

sensor head.

 

●  When this product is used in China, affix the Chinese warning label (accessory) 

on the label in the product.

 

 

Do not use the system in the manner other than specified in this Instruction Manual.

EXPORT REGULATIONS BY JAPANESE GOVERNMENT

 

 

HL-C201A-SP3 

and 

HL-C201A-SP3M

 are subject to export control regulation by 

the Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law. Export admission by Japanese 

government is required before the product is to be exported or brought out of the 

country. These products are also subject to Article 1.B.3.b.1 of Nuclear Suppliers 

Group in international export control regime and 2.B.6.b.1 of Wassenaar Arrange-

ment.

 

 Please follow the export control regulations required.

HL-C201AE-SP3 

and 

HL-C201AE-SP3M

 (E type) are not subject to export con-

trol regulations under the condition that they are used combined with the non-

pertinent controller to export control specified by Foreign Exchange and Foreign 

Trade Law. When they are combined with the pertinent controller to export control, 

they are subject to the Law. In this case export admission by Japanese govern-

ment is required before the product is to be exported or brought out of the country.

Notes: 1) Measuring conditions are as follows unless otherwise specified; connection with controller, power voltage: 

24V DC, ambient temperature: 20°C, sampling cycle: 40μs, average times:256, at measurement center dis

-

tance, measurement subject: clear glass, and digital measurement value.

 

2) The measurement range is b0.1 and +1.0mm (in case the sampling cycle is 20μs), or b0.8 

and +1.0mm (in case the sampling cycle is 10μs).

 

3) The figure shows the value at measurement center distance. It is determined by 1/e

2

 (approximately 13.5%) 

of center beam intensity. Due to leak light outside the specified area, the reflectance around the detecting 

point may be higher than at the point and this may affect the measurement value.

 

4) The minimum resolution of 0.25μm can be achieved if the sensor head is connected to the controller that is 

not subject to “Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law”.

 

5) The linearity of ±0.025%F.S. can be achieved if the sensor head is connected to the controller that is not sub-

ject to “Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law”.

 

6) The variation in ambient illuminance is ±0.02%F.S. or less.
