The model No. with '-R' stands for the flexible cable type. (e.g.) As for the flexible cable type of GX-3SB 'GX-3SB-R' The model No. with suffix '-C5' stands for the 5m cable length type. (e.g.) As for the 5m cable length type of GX-3SB 'GX-3SB-C5'

The maximum operation distance stands for the maximum distance for which the sensor can detect the standard sensing object. The stable sensing range stands for the sensing range for which the sensor can stably detect the standard sensing object even if there is an ambient temperature drift and/or supply voltage fluctuation.

The maximum sink current varies depending on the ambient temperature. Refer to ' I/O CIRCUIT DIAGRAMS'.

The weight of the threaded type includes the weight of two nuts and one toothed lock washer.

CAUTIONS

Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.

Take care that wrong wiring will damage the sensor.

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.

Extension up to total 100m is possible with a

,ormore(GX-8MLغ: 0.14mm2,or

0.3mm more), cable.

Do not use during the initial transient time (10ms) after the power supply is switched on.

GX-3Sغ, GX-4Sغ and GX-5Mغ do not incor- porate a short-circuit protection at the output.

Do not connect them directly to a power supply or a capacitive load.

Take care that the sensor does not come in direct contact with water, oil, grease, organic solvents, such as, thinner etc., or strong acid, and alkaline.

Make sure that the sensing end is not covered with metal dust, scrap or spatter. It will result in malfunction.

Make sure that stress by forcible bend or pulling is not applied directly to the sensor cable joint.

Since the cable end is not waterproof, do not use the sensor in the application where water may seep in from the cable end.

MOUNTING

When mounting the sensor, if tightening torque exceeding the soecified is applued, the sensor may be damaged.

٨ The tightening torque should be under the value

given below.

Mounting with a set screw

٨ Tighten the set screw on the flat surface of the

sensor without applying excessive force. Make sure to use a set screw with a cup-point end.

Tightening torque

The root truncation of the threads is shallow owing to strengthening of the sensors against tightening. When tapping holes on equipment to fix the sensors, the prepared holes must be Ǿ7.2mm or more with GX-8Mغ and GX-8MLغ

٨࡮Distance from surrounding metal

As metal around the sensor may affect the sensing performance, pay attention to the following points.

Influence of surrounding metal
