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.

WARNING • This product is not intended for use as an explosion-proof 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 product 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, NOTICE 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.

•Use this product at the altitude of 2000 m or less.

•Indoor use only.

•The sensor head cable and the sensor head connection cable must be installed with avoiding mechanical damage (e.g.: crushing).

•The power/input-output cable for amplifier unit is for internal wiring only. The amplifier must be installed inside of an approved enclosure or install power/input-output cable for amplifier with approved protection.

•The following cables are rated 30 V.

-sensor head cable

-sensor head connection cable

-power/input-output cable for amplifier unit

Install these cables where it is separated from the circuit over 30 V.

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.

z EMC Directive (2004/108/EC)

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

•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).

Mounting Unit

Mounting on a DIN Rail

1	Align the claw at the bottom of the main body	3
	with the DIN rail, as shown on the right.
	While pushing the main body in the direction	2
	of the arrow 1, push down in the direction of
2	arrow 2.
	To dismount the sensor, raise the main body	1

in the direction of the arrow 3 while pushing the main body in the direction of arrow 1.

Installation on a Wall (Main Unit Only)

1 Attach the unit to the optional mounting bracket (OP-73880), and secure with two M3 screws as shown on the right.

Connecting the Sensor Head to the Sensor Amplifier

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

Cable core

Shielded wire

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.

Red wire

White wire

4 Close the connector to crimp the cables. Return the upper part of the connector to its original position and then lock it.

5 Using nippers, cut off the ends of cables protruding from the connector.

			Crimp the cables no more than three times. Excessively crimping the
	NOTICE
			cables may result in a bad connection.

Connecting the Sensor Head

CAUTION • Do not bend the 20 mm cable that runs from the end of the sensor head. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 25 mm.

PS-46/52(C)/56

Use the supplied screws or other similar screws. Make sure the tightening torque does not exceed the following values:

PS-46/56: 0.3 Nm or less PS-52: 0.15 Nm or less

PS-47(C)/49(C)/55(C)

Install the M3 screws. Make sure the tightening torque does not exceed 0.6 Nm.

PS-48/58

Install the M3 screws when using the supplied fixing brackets.

Make sure to observe the following requirements when using setscrews to mount the sensor head:

M3 setscrew (flat or dented head)

L

	Model				L		Tightening torque
	PS-48				5 mm or longer		0.15 Nm or less
	PS-58				7 mm or longer
				Note If you place the reflective			PS-48 in the mounting hole, it is
	CAUTION			affected by the light reflected from inside the hole. Place the front side
				of the PS-48 so that it sticks out of the mounting hole, as shown above.

PS-05

When installing the holder, use the supplied screws and spring washers or other similar parts, as shown on the right. Make sure the tightening torque does not exceed 0.5 Nm.

When fixing the PS-05 to the holder, use the supplied screw, nuts, spring washer, and flat washer or other similar parts, as shown on the right. Make sure the tightening torque does not exceed 0.5 Nm.

PS-205/206

Install the M4 screws. Make sure the tightening torque does not exceed 0.5 Nm.

			Do not bend the 20 mm cable that runs from the end of the sensor
	CAUTION
			head. Maintain a minimum bend radius of 25 mm.
