2 FOR SAFE USE OF A LASER PRODUCT

With the objective of preventing injuries to laser product users, JIS C 6802-1997, 'Safety Standard for Laser Products', based on the IEC (International Electrical Standard Committee) standards, was stipulated. In JIS C 6802-1997, laser products are divided into classes corresponding to the degree of danger of the laser component, and preventive measures to assure safety which should be taken with each class are stipulated.

This product is classified as a Class 1 laser product by JIS C 6802-1997 'Safety Standard for Laser Products'.

Classification of laser product

		Class			Degree of danger
Class 1				Intrinsically safe design
Class 2				Visible and low power (wavelength 400 to 700nm).
				Eyes react instinctively to laser beam and protect
				Dangerous if eyes are exposed to laser beam through optical
Class 3A				means. Visible beam should be 5mW or less. Invisible beam
				should not exceed 5 times the Class 1 power.
				Dangerous if eyes are exposed to laser beam directly. Unfo-
Class 3B				cused, pulsed laser radiation 0.5W or less can be observed
				by means of diffuse reflection.
				Too intense.
Class 4				Even diffuse reflection is possibly dangerous.
				It can burn the skin or cause a fire.

4 CAUTIONS

	Although this product corresponds to a Class 1 laser
	product, it is dangerous to see the laser beam which has
	been passed through a viewing optical system such as a
	lens, etc. Hence, please avoid this.
	This product has been designed to meet the specifications
	when it is used along with the optional exclusive controller.
	If a controller other than the exclusive controller is used, not
WARNING	only the specifications may not be met, but it may also be a
	cause for malfunction or break down. Hence, please ensure
	to use this product along with the optional exclusive
	controller.
	Before using this product, please allow a warming up time
	of 3 min. after the power supply is switched on.

Always use the sensor with the connector to be joined to the controller. This product is not a measuring instrument. Hence, we do not offer any calibration services.

Make sure that the power is off while wiring to the controller.

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.

Take care that the sensor head is not directly exposed to fluorescent lamp from a rapid-starter lamp or a high frequency lighting device, as it may affect the sensing performance.

In order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.

Make sure that stress is not applied directly to the sensor head cable joint.

Do not allow any water, oil fingerprints, etc., which may refract light, or dust, dirt, etc., which may block light, to stick to the emitting/receiving surfaces of the sensor head. In case they are present, wipe them with a clean, soft cloth or lens paper.

Avoid dust, dirt, and steam.

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

In this product, capacitor earth is used to enhance the noise characteristics. In case there is a high frequency noise generating equipment, such as, an ultrasonic welding machine, etc., near the sensor head and if the mounting base is electrically conducting (metallic, etc.), then insulate the sensor head from the mounting base.

Make sure to use an isolation transformer for the DC power supply. If an auto-transformer (single winding transformer) is used, this product or the power supply may get damaged.

In case a surge is generated in the used power supply, connect a surge absorber to the supply and absorb the surge.

When power is supplied, do not touch the product or the conducting portion of the connector attached cable. It may cause erroneous operation.

This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.

5 MOUNTING
