●
Install the product so the laser beam comes higher or lower than eye level in or-
der 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.
●
Do not use the system in the manner other than specified in this Instruction Manual.

EXPORT REGULATIONS BY JAPANESE GOVERNMENT
●
HL-C201F
and
HL-C201F-MK
are subject to export control regulation by the For-
eign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law. Export admission by Japanese govern-
ment 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 Arrangement.
●
Please follow the export control regulations required.
HL-C201FE
and
HL-C201FE-MK
(E type) are not subject to export control regula-
tions under the condition that they are used combined with the non-pertinent con-
troller 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 government is re-
quired 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 distance,
measurement subject: aluminum vapor deposition surface reflect ion mirror, 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. and temperature characteristics of 0.013%F.S./°C can be achieved if the sensor
head is connected to the controller that is not subject to “Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade Law”.
6) The variation in ambient illuminance is ±0.02%F.S. or less.
