CAUTION
Pages
* Be sure to read the instruction manual carefully before servicing this device. Be sure to reach the
instruction manual to final user and be sure to keep the instruction manual by final user.
* This device doesn't operate for approx. 1 sec after putting power source on. Don’t use during this
period.
* Use power source with 2A or more, current capacity. Inrush current flows when putting power
source in. Voltage min. and max. value is 12 to 24VDC.
* Avoid to install at the places where strong light over rated enters into reception part. It may cause
mis-operation.
* It takes approx. 1sec. from releasing emission-stop input to rebooting.
* If 2-scanning mode is used, response time is getting slower.
* If area is changed by outer input, response time is getting slower.
* Min. detectable object is getting larger under mirror reflecting avoidance mode.
* It can set detecting range up to 10m under within 218 degrees but we can't guarantee it.
* Area from scanning center of sensor to 0.2m is dead zone and it can't detect.
* When installation, don’t close light-projection/reception window or interrupt area.
* If cover is used, use cover with high transparency.
* Response time is delayed under much mutual interference
