Safety Precautions

General cautions

• 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
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.

Two-point tuning
This is the method of setting the median values of the detected good and/or defective workpieces as a range when the good workpiece and HIGH/LOW defective workpieces are available.
Two-point tuning is disabled when "------" is displayed as a P.V. value. When "- FFFF" or "FFFF" is displayed, setting cannot be done accurately.
6
Detect the LOW defective workpiece and press the [SET] button to capture the detected value.
The median value of this detected value and the one captured in step 5 blinks. LOW setting value is fixed. Two-point tuning is completed.
Press the left/right Arrow buttons to return to the P.V. value display.

Preset

This function displays the value obtained by adding or subtracting a preset value to or from the detected value. By using this function and the zero point correction function together, you can set an arbitrary value as a reference point of the work.

Bank switching

By using the bank switching, you can register up to four patterns of the HIGH setting value, LOW setting value and preset value, respectively. The bank switching is useful when there are multiple detection targets since the pre-registered settings (four patterns) can be easily switched.

Calculation with expansion unit

The GT-70A Series can calculate various values using the detected values of multiple detection points such as the maximum value or the minimum value when an expansion unit(s) is added (up to nine units). Refer to pages 2 to 3 of this manual for details about how to add an expansion unit. The outline of the calculation function is shown below.

Error message

Error display Cause Corrective action
*1 If not recovered by this action, there may be a possibility of failure or
permanent damage. In this case, change the amplifier unit.
The sensor head cable is disconnected.
• The sensor head cable is broken.
• The sensor head is damaged.
An overcurrent flows in the output line.
Failed to write/read data.
Spindle movement is not detected
The value fell below (rose above) the timing level during the delay time.
When setting the internal timing, detection was completed when the value fell below (rose above) the timing level before the criterion value (P.V. value) is fixed.
Contact between the amplifiers is lost.
In the case of using the calculation function, the number of the expansion unit when the power is turned ON differs from the number of the expansion unit in the memory of the main unit when the calculation is set.
• When using the reference difference (rEF) calculation function, an error occurred in the main unit.
• When using other than the reference difference (rEF) calculation function, an error occurred in an expansion unit.
Connect the sensor head to the amplifier.
Change the sensor head.
• Check that the load is within the rating.
• Check that the output line is not contacting other lines and frames.
Reboot the equipment and perform initial reset.
• If something is caught in the spindle, causing the spindle not to move, change the sensor head.
• Check the external timing input. (Press the SET button to reset.)
Change the delay timer time setting. (Press the SET button to reset.)
The value should not fall below (rise above) the timing level before the criterion value is fixed. Alternatively, lengthen the static hold delay stabilizing amplitude so that the criterion value can be easily fixed.
After turning OFF the power, check the connection between the amplifiers.
• Reset the calculation mode or perform the initial reset of the main unit.
• After turning OFF the power, check the connections between the amplifiers.
Check each main/expansion unit for the cause of the error.
