CE Marking



Keyence Corporation has confirmed that this product complies with the essential requirements of the applicable EC Directive, based on the following specifications. Be sure to consider the following specifications when using this product in a member state of the European Union.

EMC Directive (2004/108/EC)

• Applicable standard EMI : 60947-5-2, Class A

• When connecting with the NU-CL1, always install in a conductive enclosure (control panel,

etc.), and wrap a ferrite core (E04SR401938 manufactured by Seiwa Electric Mfg. Co., Ltd.) one turn around the sensor head cable.

• When extending the Sensor Head Cable of the PS-47(C)/49(C)/05/52(C)/55(C)/56/58, cover

the entire Sensor Head Cable with conductive piping (for example with metal piping). Also, ground the end part of the piping (the sensor amplifier side).

Remarks: These specifications do not give any guarantee that the end-product with this prod-

uct incorporated complies with the essential requirements of the EMC Directive. The manufacturer of the end-product is solely responsible for the compliance of the end-product itself according to the EMC Directive.

Safety Information for PS-N10 Series.

• This product is only intended to detect object(s). Do not use

this product for the purpose of protecting a human body or a part of the human body.

• This product is not intended for use as an explosion-proof

WARNING

NOTICE

product. Do not use this product in a hazardous location and/or potentially explosive atmosphere.

• This product uses DC power. Do not apply AC power. The prod-

uct may explode or burn if an AC voltage is applied.

• Do not wire the amplifier line along with power lines or high-ten-

sion lines, as the sensor may malfunction or be damaged due to noise.

• When using a commercially available switching regulator,

ground the frame ground terminal and ground terminal.

• Do not use the PS-N10 series outdoors, or in a place where

extraneous light can enter the light-receiving element directly.

• Due to individual dispersion characteristics and the difference

in sensor head models, the maximum sensing distance or displayed value may not be the same on all units.

Installing the Sensor Head Connector



1 Process the cable ends as shown below. The core wire conductors are stripped so

that they are exposed at the time of shipment. Be sure to process the cables without

removing the insulation from the cable ends.

10 mm or longer

2 Move the upper left part of the connector in the direction of the arrow and then open

the connector.

3 Fully insert the cables with the shielded wires standing upright. Next, bend the

shielded wires along the grooves in the direction of the arrow.
