[Precautions for Using Laser Products]
WARNING
● The laser products use semiconductor laser light sources. When handling laser products, observe the
following because human access to laser radiation may result in injury.
(1) Do not disassemble the laser products. Doing so may result in exposure to laser radiation.
(2) Shut off the external power supply (all phases) to stop laser emission before replacing a failed
laser product or changing the layout.
● Observe the following handling precautions for the laser products in each class.
(1) Class 3R laser products
• Do not aim the laser beam at people.
• Do not directly look at or come in contact with the laser beam and its reflection from a specular
surface (such as a mirror). In addition, never look at the beam and its reflection through optical
instruments (such as a microscope and a telescope).
• Shorten the beam paths as much as possible to prevent diffusion of laser beams. Terminate the
laser beams at the end of their paths by diffusely reflecting materials of appropriate reflectivity
and thermal properties or by absorbers.
• Locate the beam path above or below the eye level. Wearing protective eyewear is
recommended when handling the laser products.
• Install the laser products carefully so that the laser beam is not unintentionally reflected from
specular surfaces.
(2) Class 2 laser products
• Do not aim the laser beam at people.
• Do not stare into the laser beam and its reflection from specular surfaces.
• To prevent exposure to laser radiation (specularly or diffusely reflected laser beams), install a
protective enclosure with an appropriate reflectance.
• Locate the beam path above or below the eye level.
(3) Class 1 laser products
• Do not stare into the laser beam and its reflection from specular surfaces.

[Design Precautions]
WARNING
● Provide safety measures such as a dual safety mechanism when the module is used for applications
that have the possibility of causing physical injury or serious damage.
● If a communication cable is disconnected, the network may be unstable, resulting in a communication
failure of multiple stations. Configure an interlock circuit in the program to ensure that the entire
system will always operate safely even if communications fail. Incorrect output or malfunction due to a
communication failure may result in an accident.
[Design Precautions]
CAUTION
● Do not use the laser displacement sensor outside of its specifications (such as ratings or
environments). Doing so may result in overheating or smoke.
● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
● Do not power off the programmable controller or reset the CPU module while the settings are being
written. Doing so will make the data in the flash ROM and SD memory card undefined. The values
need to be set in the buffer memory and written to the flash ROM and SD memory card again. Doing
so also may cause malfunction or failure of the module.
● Do not disassemble or modify this product. Doing so may cause failure, malfunction, injury, or a fire.
● Clamp cables securely with the terminal screws. Incomplete connections may cause overheating or
smoke.
● Do not touch any terminal while power is on. Doing so will cause electric shock or malfunction.

Failure to do so may result in electric shock or cause the module to fail or malfunction.
[Wiring Precautions]
CAUTION
● Individually ground the FG and LG terminals of the programmable controller with a ground resistance
of 100 ohms or less. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or malfunction.
● Check the rated voltage and signal layout before wiring to the module, and connect the cables
correctly. Connecting a power supply with a different voltage rating or incorrect wiring may cause fire
or failure.
● Securely connect the connector to the module. Poor contact may cause malfunction.
● Do not install the control lines or communication cables together with the main circuit lines or power
cables. Keep a distance of 100mm or more between them. Failure to do so may result in malfunction
due to noise.
● Place the cables in a duct or clamp them. If not, dangling cables may swing or inadvertently be pulled,
resulting in malfunction or damage to modules or cables.
In addition, the weight of the cables may put stress on modules in an environment of strong vibrations
and shocks.
Do not clamp the extension cables with the jacket stripped. Doing so may change the characteristics
of the cables, resulting in malfunction.
● Check the interface type and correctly connect the cable. Incorrect wiring (connecting the cable to an
incorrect interface) may cause failure of the module and external device.

1BEFORE USING THE PRODUCT
Precautions
This chapter describes the installing method and connection method of the sensor head.
1.1Correct Usage Method
Regarding execution and use of the sensor head, be aware of the following.
Installation environment
Do not install the product in the following conditions.
• Where the ambient temperature, ambient humidity, or ambient illuminance of light receiving surface is beyond the range of
specifications ( Page 12 Usage environment)
• Where dew condensation occurs due to rapid temperature change
• In an atmosphere of corrosive gas or flammable gas
• Where the product is exposed to dust, iron powder, and salt
• In an atmosphere which is likely to be exposed to organic solvent such as benzene, thinner, or alcohol, or to strong alkaline
materials such as ammonia or sodium hydroxide
• Where heavy vibration or impact is applied
• Where direct sunlight is received
• Where water, oil, or chemicals splashes
• Where load is applied to the product
Usage environment
■Ambient temperature
Use the sensor head within the specifications range of 0 to 45. ( Page 38 SPECIFICATIONS)
Store the product within the ambient temperature range of -20 to 70.
The life of the semiconductor laser depends on the ambient temperature during use. When using the product near a heat
source, take measures to lower the ambient temperature of the sensor head as possible. Install the sensor head on a device
having good heat radiation because the sensor head itself emits heat.
For MH11H110NA, when installing two sensor heads in parallel at a 20mm or less interval, install each sensor head on an
aluminum or iron plate having a 200 or more surface area.
■Ambient humidity
Use the controller within a range of 35% to 85% (RH).
Do not, however, use the controller in places where a drastic temperature change may result in dew condensation.
■Light receiving surface ambient illuminance
Use the system with illuminance of 3000lx or less at light receiving surface using an incandescent lamp.

1.1 Correct Usage Method
Page 15
■Environment
• Water, oil, or fingerprints on the light emitting part and light receiving part of a sensor head refracts light. Dust and dirt on
them block light. Keep them clean at all times. When cleaning these parts, wipe them off using a soft lint-free cloth or lens
cleaning paper.
• Install the sensor head so that ambient light such as sunlight or light with the same wavelength as laser beam does not
enter the light receiver. If high accuracy is required, install a light shielding plate or the like on the sensor head.
• Do not use the product in dusty places or that exposed to flammable or corrosive gases, droplet, direct sunlight, severe
vibration, or impact.
Protective structure
Although the sensor head is waterproof, the control module and connectors are not structurally dustproof, waterproof, or
corrosion-resistant. Therefore, measurement underwater or in the rain is not allowed. Be aware of the usage environment.
Warming up time
Allow at least 30 minutes of warming up after emitted laser beam from a sensor head to ensure the performance of the sensor
head.
Measures to reduce noise
• Install the product as far away as possible from noise source such as high-voltage lines, high-voltage device, power lines,
power device, machines which generate a large starting and stopping surge, welding machines, and inverter motor.
• Install the product as far away as possible from a wireless device that has a transmitter, such as an amateur radio device.
• Do not run the sensor head cable along (bundled in parallel) with other wirings. Keep it at least 100mm away from other
wires. Run the cable so that it is separate from high voltage and power circuit lines. If it is necessary to run the cable in
parallel with them, shield the cable by running it through a grounded electrical conduit.

■Connector
• Turn off the power of the programmable controller before connecting or disconnecting the connectors and any other
connections.
• When connecting or disconnecting the sensor head, be sure to hold the connector part of the sensor head cable not to
apply extra force to the cable.
• Be careful not to touch the terminals of disconnected connectors or to let foreign objects get in disconnected connectors.
• Be careful not to apply force to around the connectors of sensor head cable and extension cable for sensor head. Do not
bend the cables near connectors of the sensor head. Doing so causes disconnection of the cables.
• Fit the connector of the sensor head cable to the plug-in side of the connector.
■Sensor head cable
• Do not pull the cable using a force 29.4N or more when routing the cable with the sensor head and control module fixed.
Doing so may cause disconnection of the cable. At least 20mm is required from the cable connection to the bend. The
bending radius must be 30mm or more.
• When moving the sensor head during operation, make sure that the cable is not bent while moving it.
■Extension cable for sensor head
• Use only one extension cable for sensor head for connection between one sensor head and a controller.
• When moving the sensor head during operation, use the replaceable extension cable for the bending part and movable
part. The bending radius of the extension cable must be 30mm or more for the fixed part, and 60mm or more for the
movable part. Do not apply tensile stress to the cable.

■Measurement in narrow space or concave area
Black target
Black target
When performing measurement in a narrow space or hole, install the sensor head so that the light path from the light emitting
part to the light receiving part is not blocked.
■When the measurement object is black, or when light intensity is insufficient
When performing measurement of black target object with low reflectance, the light intensity entering the light receiving part
reduces, and the signal obtained from the linear image sensor becomes small, resulting in a decline in resolution.
In this case, perform installing as follows to boost the received light intensity.
■Specular reflection installing■Approaching the measurement object
1
A specular reflection component with a large reflected light amount is received,
for improved accuracy.
The received light intensity is in inverse proportion to the square of the
distance from the measurement object. When the distance to the
measurement object is shortened, the received light intensity increases.
■When installing the sensor head on a wall surface
To avoid multiple reflected lights on a wall surface from entering the light receiving part, install the sensor head as shown
below. In addition, when the reflectance of the wall surface is high, setting to a non-glossy black color can be effective.

Page 39 Product specification notes
*1 The measurement range is limited between 0.1 and 1.0mm (in case the sampling cycle is 20s), or between 0.8 and 1.0mm (in case the
sampling cycle is 10s).
*2 The figure shows the value at measurement center distance. It is determined by 1/e
Due to leak light outside the specified area, the reflectance around the detecting point may be higher than at the point and this may
affect the measurement value.
*3 The variation in ambient illuminance is 0.02% F.S. or less.
*4 Terminate a laser beam using a diffusely reflecting material or by an absorber regardless of the safety distance.

3MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
3.1Maintenance
Maintenance instructions
■Sensor head cleaning
• Before cleaning the sensor head, always disconnect the power supply and stop laser emission.
• Errors may occur if the substance that refracts light such as oil and fingerprints, or the substance that blocks light such as
dust and dirt exists on the light emitting or receiving parts at the sensor head. Inspect the surfaces regularly and always
keep them clean.
• To remove large particles of dust, blow them away using a camera lens blower.
• To remove small particles of dust and fingerprints, use soft lens cleaning cloth or lens cleaner paper to lightly wipe them out.
• Use cloth moistened with a small amount of alcohol to wipe out tough dirt carefully.
• Molded resin is used in some parts of the sensor head. Do not use organic solvents such as thinner and benzene to wipe
dirt on it. Otherwise, molded resin may be dissolved.
• Do not wipe the glass portion of laser aperture too hard. Scratches on the glass may cause errors.
3.2Inspection
Inspect the sensor head regularly to ensure performance and to use it under optimum conditions.
Major inspection items
• Check that the glass surface on the laser aperture is free from dust, dirt, or fingerprints.
• Check that the operating ambient temperature is within the range of 0 to 45.
• Check that the operating ambient humidity is within the range of 35 to 85%RH.
