PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
All models
Connector type
This product is not a safety sensor. Its use is not
intended or designed to protect life and prevent body
injury or property damage from dangerous parts of
machinery. It is a normal object detection sensor.
Mounting
•When fixing the sensor with screws, use M3 screws and
the tightening torque should be 0.49 Nm or less.
Further, use small, round type plain washers ("6 mm
"0.236 in).
1Insert a connector straight into a
sensor until the connector lug is
locked by the sensor hook.
2When unplugging, give as much
stress as a connector lug can be
relieved from a hook. Then
unplug it.
Caution: Be sure to hold a connector
when plugging or unplugging
it. Do not hold a terminal or a
cable when plugging or
unplugging the connector.
Otherwise, it will cause a
poor contact.
Cautions in plugging or unplugging a connector
Others
•Do not use during the initial transient time (50 ms) after the
power supply is switched on.
•Take care that the product does not come in direct contact
with oil, grease, or organic solvents, such as, thinner, etc.
Wiring
•Make sure to connect terminals correctly as the sensor
does not incorporate a reverse polarity protection circuit.
•If the sensor is being used in a noisy environment, exam-
ine the extent of noise. Further, if equipment, such as
motor, solenoid or electromagnetic valve, which generates
a large surge, is present near the sensor, connect a surge
absorber to the equipment.
Setting
•
The optimum setting dis-
tance (distance to conver-
gent point) is 5 mm 0.197 in.
The sensor is not affected
even by a specular back-
ground if it is located 30 mm
1.181 in, or more, away
from the sensor.
However, the specular background should be a plane
surface, directly facing the sensor. A spherical or curved
background may be detected.
•Do not plug or unplug a connector more than 10
times.
•Be sure not to give stress more than 5 N to a ter-
minal of both a connector and a sensor.
If you do not follow the above cautions, it will
cause a poor contact.
Procedures of plugging or unplugging a connector
Soldering (Both connector CN-13 and sensor)
•If soldering is done directly on the terminals, strictly adhere
to the conditions given below.
Soldering temperature
260 C 500 For less
Soldering time 10 sec. or less
Soldering position Refer to the below figure
Wiring
•
The cable length must be
2 m 6.562 ft, or less, with
0.3 mm2, or more, cable. If
the cable is extended for
more than 2 m 6.562 ft,
connect a capacitor of
10 !F approx. between
V and 0 V terminals.
