(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 func-

tion 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-C211F5 

and 

HL-C211F5-MK

 are subject to export control regulation by the 

Foreign 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-C211F5E 

and 

HL-C211F5E-MK

 (E type) are not subject to export control reg-

ulations 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), between 

+0.5 and +14.5mm (in case the sampling cycle is 20μs at specular reflection), b12.5 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.
