Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection.
In case of using sensing devices for personnel protection, use
products which meet laws and standards, such as OSHA, ANSI or
IEC etc., for personnel protection applicable in each region or country.
Although this product corresponds to a Class 1 laser product, it is
dangerous to see the laser beam which has been passed through a
viewing optical system such as a lens etc. Hence, please avoid this.
Use of control or adjustment or performance of procedures other
than those specified in this instruction manual may result in
hazardous radiation expose.

This product has been designed to meet the specifications when it is used
along with the optional exclusive amplifier. If an amplifier other than the
exclusive amplifier is used, not only the specifications may not be met, but it
may also be a cause for malfunction or break down. Hence, please ensure to
use this product along with the optional exclusive amplifier.

This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
Always use the sensor with the connector to be joined to the amplifier.
Make sure that the power is off while wiring to the amplifier.
In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator, inverter motor etc.)
is used in the vicinity of this product, connect the frame ground (F.G.)
terminal of the equipment to an actual ground.
If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that the
frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual
ground.
Do not use the sensor during the initial transient time (0.5 sec.) just after the
power supply is switched on.
Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put
them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.
Take care that the sensor head is not directly exposed to fluorescent lamp
from a rapid-starter lamp or a high frequency lighting device, as it may affect
the sensing performance.
The sensor head cable cannot be extended.
Make sure that stress is not applied directly to the sensor head cable joint.
This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
Do not allow any water, oil fingerprints, etc., which may refract light, or dust,
dirt, etc., which may block light, to stick to the emitting / receiving surfaces of
the sensor head. In case they are present, wipe them with a clean, soft cloth
or lens paper.
Do not use the sensor in vaporous, dusty or corrosive gas atmospheres.
Take care that the sensor does not come in contact with water, oil, grease or
organic solvents, such as, thinner, etc.
Make sure that the power is off while cleaning the emitting / receiving
windows of the sensor head.

With regard to safety of laser products, IEC 60825-1
-2014
'Safety of laser
products' has been stipulated by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commis-
sion). In IEC 60825-1
-2014
, laser products are divded into classes corresponding
to the degree of danger of the laser component, and preventive measures to
assure safety which should be taken with each class are stipulated.
This product is classified as a '
Class 1 laser product
' by IEC 60825-1
