In Europe, diffuse-reflective models in the ZX2 Series are categorized as Class 2 laser
products and the regular-reflective model is classified as a Class 1 laser product
according to EN60825-1 (see note).
The CE markings on the products also reflect these categorizations.
In the U.S.A., diffuse-reflective models in the ZX2 Series are categorized as Class II laser
products, and the regular-reflective model is classified as a Class I laser product
according to IEC60825-1 criteria, in accordance with the stipulations of the FDA standard
Laser Notice No. 50 (see note).
This product has already been registered with the CDRH (Center for Devices and
Radiological Health). (Accession Number: 1020665)
Place the laser warning label and the FDA label on the sensor.
The ZX2 Series is meant to be built into final system equipment. Pay special attention to
the following precautions for the safe use of the product:
Note:Europe: Class 1 and Class 2 of EN 60825-1: 1994 +A11:1996 +A2:2001

U.S.A.: Class I and Class II of FDA (21 CFR1040.10)
(1) ZX2-LD emits visual laser beam. Do not stare directly into the laser.
Make sure that the laser beam path is terminated. If specular objects are present in
the laser beam path, make sure that they are prevented from reflecting the laser
beam.
When used without an enclosure, make sure the laser path from eye level is avoided.
(2) To avoid exposure to hazardous laser radiation, do not displace nor remove the
protective housing during operation, maintenance, and any other servicing.
(3) As for countries other than those of Europe and the U.S.A., observe the regulations
and standards specified by each country.
(4) Label Indications
The EN and FDA labels are supplied with the product.
Replace the current labels with them according to the instructions given in the
manuals.

Precautions for Safe Use
Please observe the following precautions for safe use of the products.
Installation Environment
• Do not use the product in environments where it can be exposed to inflammable/
explosive gas.
• Do not install the product close to high-voltage devices and power devices in order
to secure the safety of operation and maintenance.
Power Supply and Wiring
• The supply voltage must be within the rated range (DC12 to 24 V±10%).
• Reverse connection of power supply is not allowed. Connection to AC power supply
is also not allowed.
• Open-collector outputs should not be short-circuited.
• High-voltage lines and power lines must be wired separately from this product.
Wiring them together or placing in the same duct may cause induction, resulting in
malfunction or damage.
• Always turn off the power supply before connecting or disconnecting cables and
•Theremay be casesthatcurrent outputor voltage output fluctuate within1%F.S
when a sensoris experienced electromagnetic interference under the condition of
the response time 30µs.
Others
• Do not attempt to dismantle, repair, or modify the product.
• Dispose of this product as industrial waste.

ZX2 User’s Manual
Warming Up
After turning ON the power supply, allow the product to stand for at least 10 minutes
before use. The circuits are still unstable just after the power supply is turned ON, so
measured values may fluctuate gradually.
A warmup of at least 10 minutes is also required after canceling LD-OFF input if LD-
OFF input is being used.
Sensing Object
The product cannot accurately measure the following types of objects: Transparent
objects, objects with an extremely low reflective sensor ratio, objects smaller than the
beam size, objects with a large curvature, excessively inclined objects, etc.
Mutual Interference
Inserting a calculating unit between amplifier units can prevent mutual interference
between two sensor heads.
Maintenance
• Always turn OFF the power supply before adjusting or connecting/disconnecting
the sensor head.
• Do not use thinner, benzene, acetone or kerosene to clean the sensor head and
amplifier units. If large dust particles adhere to the front filter of the sensor head,
use a blower brush (used to clean camera lenses) to blow them off. Do not blow the
dust away with your mouth. To remove smaller dust particles, use a soft cloth (for
lenses) with a small amount of alcohol. Take care not to wipe them off with exces-
sive force.
Scratches on the filter may cause errors.

Important
Before connecting/disconnecting Smart Sensor components, make sure that the power to the
Amplifier Unit is turned OFF. The Smart Sensor may malfunction if components are connected
or removed while the power is ON.

Installing Sensor Heads
Installation Method
• Check the Sensor Head setting position by its emission center mark.
• Fix the sensor head in place with M3 screws. The screws must be tightened with a
torque of 0.5 N•m.

Important
• When mounting a Sensor Head, take care not to touch the emitter and receiver. Finger
marks on the emitter and receiver may hinder correct measurements. If you have touched
them by mistake, wipe them with a clean, soft cloth.
• Fix the connectors in places that are not subject to vibration or impact.

Installing the Amplifier Unit
Amplifier Units can be easily mounted to 35-mm DIN Track.
Installation Method
Hook the connector end of the Sensor Head on the DIN Track, and press in at the bottom
until the Amplifier Unit locks into place. If necessary, fix it in place by the End Plate.
DIN Track (Option)
PFP-100N (shallow type/1 m)
PFP-50N (shallow type/0.5 m)
PFP-100N2 (shallow type/1 m)
End Plate (Option)
Hook on the connector end
Important
Hook the connector end of the Sensor Head on the DIN Track first. The mounting strength may
decrease if the output cable end is hooked on the DIN Track first.

Connecting Calculating Units
Use a Calculating Unit to connect Amplifier Units when performing calculations between
Amplifier Units and to prevent mutual interference between Sensor Heads.
The number of Amplifier Units that can be connected differs depending on the functions to
be used.

Connecting the Sensor Head to the Amplifier Unit
Installation Method
Align the position of the connector mark with the S mark on the Amplifier Unit, and
insert the connector until it is locked in place.
Important
• Extending the Sensor Head cable
An optional extension cable (ZX2-XCR) must be used.
Only one extension cable can be used.
Be sure to attach the two supplied ferrite cores within 100 mm of each end of the extension
cable.

Important
• Do not touch the terminals inside the connector.
• Prevent the connector from being subjected to static electricity.
• When the Sensor Head is replaced with a different type, set all the setting data inside the
Amplifier Unit again since it will be cleared.
