MEUEN-CX400 V2.2

Thank you for purchasing products from Panasonic. Please read this
Instruction Manual carefully and thoroughly for the correct and optimum use
of this product. Kindly keep this manual in a convenient place for quick
reference.

This product is designed for industrial use only.

Make sure to carry out wiring with the power OFF.

Do not use this product in an environment with inflammable or explosive
gas.

Incorrect wiring will damage the sensor.

Verify that the supply voltage including the ripple is within the rating.

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.

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.

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.

Do not use during the initial transient time (50ms) after the power supply
is switched on.

This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.

You can extend the cable up to 100m max. with 0.3mm

2

 or more cable

(thru-beam type, both emitter and receiver). However, in order to reduce
noise, make the wiring as short as possible.
To comply with the requirements for the Korean S-Mark, the power
supply line must be 10m or less.

Do not apply stress directly to the sensor cable joint by forcibly bending
or pulling.

Do not use this sensor in places having excessive vapor, dust, etc., or
where it may come in direct contact with water or corrosive gas.

Take care that the sensor does not come in direct contact with water, oil,
grease, or organic solvents such as thinners, etc.

Never disassemble or modify the product.

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

• 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.

Description

1

Stability indicator 
(green)

Lights up under the stable Light or stable 
Dark condition.

2

Operation indicator 
(orange)

Reflective type, thru-beam receiver

lights up when the sensor output is ON.

3

Sensitivity adjuster

Reflective type, thru-beam receiver

sensing range increased when turned 
clockwise.
See “SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT” on 
page 4.

Operation mode 
switch

Reflective type, thru-beam receiver

:

• L: Light-ON

Light-ON mode is obtained when the 
operation mode switch  is turned fully 
clockwise (L).

• D: Dark-ON

Dark-ON mode is obtained when the 
operation mode switch is turned fully 
counterclockwise (D).

5

Power indicator 
(green)

Lights up when power in ON.
