Thank you for purchasing products from Panasonic Electric Works SUNX
Co., Ltd. Please read this Instruction Manual carefully and thoroughly for
the correct and optimum use of this product. Kindly keep this manual in a
convenient place for quick reference.
WARNING
• Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection.
• In case of using sensing devices for personnel protection, use
products which meet laws and standards, such as OSHA, ANSI or IEC
etc., for personnel protection applicable in each region or country.
1CAUTIONS
This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
For the convergent reflective type EX-14, maintain adequate distance
from reflective objects in the background, e.g. conveyors, since they may
adversely effect sensing.
A thin 0.1mm
when pulling on the cable: it may cause cable to break.
Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.
Incorrect wiring will damage the sensor.
Verify that the supply voltage including the ripple is within the rating.
Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that
the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an
actual ground.
In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator, inverter motor,
etc.) is used in the vicinity of this product, connect the frame ground
(F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an actual ground.
Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put
them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.
You can extend the cable up to 50m max. with 0.3mm
both emitter and receiver. However, in order to reduce noise, make the
wiring as short as possible.
Do not use during the initial transient time (0.5s) after the power supply is
switched on.
Ensure that the sensor is not directly exposed to the following light
sources as they may adversely effect sensing performance: fluorescent
light from a rapid-starter lamp, a high frequency lighting device, sunlight
etc.
This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
Avoid dust, dirt and steam. Do not use this sensor in places having
excessive vapor, dust, etc., or where it may come in direct contact with
corrosive gas.
Take care that the sensor does not come in contact with oil, grease,
organic solvents such as thinner, etc., strong acid, or alkalines.
Do not apply stress directly to the sensor cable joint by forcibly bending
or pulling.
Since the cable end is not waterproof, do not use the sensor in an
application where water could seep in from the cable end.

4SLIT MASKS
Optional slit masks help the sensor detect small objects. The accuracy of
the position being sensed is also increased. However, the sensing range is
reduced.
Attach the slit mask to the sensor before mounting the sensor.
