CAUTIONS ON HANDLING LASER LIGHT
●
In order to prevent the accident by laser product and protect the users, JIS C
6802
-2005
“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-C211B
(
E
),
HL-C211B
(
E
)-
MK
are classified as “Class 2 laser products” ac-
cording to IEC 60825-1
-2007
(JIS C 6802
-2005
) “Safety of laser products”.

Safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation
Class 1M
-
Safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, except for diverging
or large area beams when collecting optics used. Hazardous when collecting
optics used.
Class 2
HL-C211B

-MK
Visible beam, low power. Blink response of eye affords protection.
Class 2M
-
Visible beam, low power. Blink response of eye affords protection.
Hazardous when collecting optics used.
Class 3R
-
Direct intrabeam viewing is hazardous, but risk is lower than for 3B.

WARNING label
In Chinese
In Japanese / English / Korean
(E type only)
<Label position>
●
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.
Laser safety distance (Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance: NOHD) is approx. 0.5m.
The laser beam must be terminated at the end of its path by a diffuse reflector or
an absorber.
●
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-C211B
and
HL-C211B-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-C211BE
and
HL-C211BE-MK
(E type) are not subject to export control regu-
lations 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 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 dis
-
tance, object substance: white ceramic,, and digital measurement value.
2) Use the external ND filter (optional) in case the amount of reflected beam is too large on Specular Reflection
installation.
3) The measurement range is limites b0.5 and +15.0mm (in case the sampling cycle is 20μs at diffuse
reflection), b0.5 and +14.5mm (in case the sampling cycle is 20μs at specular reflection), between
+12.5 and +15.0mm (in case the sampling cycle is 10μs at diffuse reflection), or b12.5 and +14.5mm
(in case the sampling cycle is 10μs at specular reflection).
4) 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.
5) 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”.
6) The variation in ambient illuminance is ±0.03%F.S. or less.
