Safety Precautions

■

General cautions

• At startup and during operation, be sure to monitor the function performance of the GT-70A Series.

• Do not modify the GT-70A Series or use it in any way other than described in the specifications. The function performance of products used or modified in this way cannot be guaranteed.

• When the GT-70A Series is used in combination with other instruments, function performance may be degraded, depending on operating conditions and the surrounding environment. Use the GT70A Series after fully studying the effect of combined use with other instruments.

• Do not use the GT-70A Series for the purpose of protecting the human body.

• Do not expose the GT-70A Series and peripheral devices to sudden temperature change. This may cause condensation, damaging the equipment.

WARNING

CAUTION

Series Instruction Manual

If the following conditions are encountered, immediately turn OFF the power. Continuing to use the GT-70A Series under these abnormal conditions may cause equipment failure.

• When water or foreign matter enters the controller

• When the GT-70A Series is dropped or the housing is damaged

• When the GT-70A Series produces smoke or an abnormal smell

• Do not use the GT-70A Series with a voltage other than specified voltage, as this may cause fire, electric shock or equipment failure.

• Do not disassemble or modify the GT-70A Series. This may cause fire or electric shock.

•

Be sure to turn OFF the power of the GT-70A Series and any connected devices before connecting or disconnecting the cables. Otherwise, there may be a risk of damage.

•

Do not turn OFF the power while setting parameters. Otherwise, the settings may be partially or completely lost.

●

Environmental conditions

To use the GT-70A Series properly and safely, do not install the GT-70A Series in the following locations. Use of this equipment in an improper environment may cause equipment failure.

•

Locations with high humidity, a large amount of dust, or poor ventilation

•

Locations where the temperature rises excessively due to direct sunlight, etc.

•

Locations near corrosive or flammable gas

•

Locations where the GT-70A Series is directly subjected to vibration or impact

•

Locations where water, oil or chemicals may come into contact with the GT-70A Series

•

Locations where static electricity may easily occur

●

Noise countermeasures

Installation near the noise source such as a power source and a power cable may cause malfunction or failure of the equipment. Adopt appropriate countermeasures against noise by using a noise filter or wiring cables in separate ducts, attaching insulation to the amplifier or the sensor head, etc.

●

Effects of ambient temperature

Change in ambient temperature may cause detection errors. Keep ambient temperature at a constant level. It will take about 40 minutes for the internal temperature distribution of the equipment to completely adjust when the ambient temperature has changed by 10°C.

●

Warming up

Wait about 30 minutes after the power is turned ON before beginning operation. Immediately after the power is turned ON, the circuit becomes unstable, possibly causing the indicated value to slightly fluctuate.

●

Handling of the sensor head

•

The GT-70A Series and peripheral devices are precision machines. Do not drop, or cause any other impact to these devices.

•

Do not apply weight greater than what is listed below to the spindle part. Do not apply torque in the rotation direction. Otherwise the spindle may break.

•

Although the sensor head has a waterproof structure, avoid using in water or in the place where liquid such as water and oil may come into contact with the sensor head.

30 N 100 N

●

Extending cable between amplifier and sensor head

Do not cut or extend the cable between the amplifier and the sensor head. This may change the characteristics, causing the specifications not to be satisfied.

●

Power su pply

•

Noise superimposed on the power supply may cause malfunction. Be sure to use the DC stabilized power supply provided with an insulation transformer.

•

In the case of a commercially available switching regulator, be sure to ground the frame ground terminal or the ground terminal.

●

Effects of vibration

Vibrating the detection target may cause fluctuation in the indicated value. In this case, extend the response time. This ensures more accurate detection values.

●

Effects of magnetic fields

Contact by an external magnetic field to the sensor head will influence the output. Avoid installing the GT-70A Series near motors or other equipment and devices that generate strong magnetic fields.

●

About dust protective boot

An optional dust protective boot is available (GT-H10: OP-78041, GTH22: OP-78042) for when the included dust protective boot has been cracked or damaged. Please note that we cannot guarantee the protection rating IP67 when the optional part is used. If you need a guarantee for the protection rating IP67, replace the sensor head itself.

DIN rail mounting type (Expansion unit)

This section describes how to mount the DIN rail mounting type: GT72A/72AP (Expansion unit). The expansion unit can only be used in addition to the main unit. Up to nine expansion units can be added to one main unit.

• When adding an amplifier (expansion unit), be sure the power of both main and expansion units is OFF before operation. Mounting when

CAUTION

the power is ON may damage the equipment.

• Be sure to completely contact an expansion unit to a main unit. Oblique or improper connections may damage the equipment.

• When adding an expansion unit(s), be sure to use a 24 VDC power supply.

• An expansion unit of different output type cannot be added (for example, an expansion unit of NPN output cannot be added to a main unit of PNP output).

• An expansion unit of the DIN rail mounting type cannot be added to a main unit of the panel mounting type.

Detach the expansion cover of the main unit.
