•
Use of controls or adjustments, or the performance of procedures other than those specified
herein, may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
• The LV series product uses a laser diode as a light source.
Follow the safety precautions below to ensure operator safety:
• Operate the LV Series only according to the procedures described in this instruction
manual.
Otherwise, injury may occur due to exposure to the laser beam.
• Do not disassemble the sensor head.
Laser emission from the LV Series is not automatically stopped if the sensor head is
disassembled. If you disassemble the sensor head for inspection or repair, you may be
exposed to the laser beam. If the LV Series malfunctions, contact KEYENCE
immediately.
•Do not look directly at the laser beam.
Looking directly at the laser beam may result in serious eye injury.
• Protective enclosure
It is recommended that you install a protective enclosure around the sensor head to
prevent any person from getting near the sensor head during operation.
• Protective goggles
It is recommended that you wear protective goggles when using the LV Series.
•Stop laser emissions before cleaning the laser emission port.
Failure to stop the laser emission may expose eyes or skin to the laser beam.
• Check the laser beam path.
To prevent exposure to the laser beam due to specular or diffuse reflection, install a
screen which offers the appropriate reflectance and temperature characteristics to
interrupt the reflected laser beam. Do not install the LV Series in such a way that the
laser beam passes at eye height.
Label location
Warning labels are attached to the sensor head, as shown below.

Laser ON alarm indicator
The laser ON alarm indicator will start flashing after power is turned on. The lamp will
remain ON for as long as the laser light is emitting. This alarm indicator can be seen even
when wearing protective goggles.
Laser emission stop input (LV-21A/21AP/51M/51MP/11A)
Laser emission can be stopped by short-circuiting
between the purple and blue (GND) wires when LV-21A,
LV-51M or LV-11A used. When LV-21AP or 51MP is used,
short-circuit between the purple and brown (12 to 24 V
DC) wires to stop laser emission.
