background, wrong operation may be
caused due to a small change in the angle
of the background body. In that case, install
the sensor at an inclination and confirm the
operation with the actual sensing object.
Take care that there is a non-detactable

Sensing object
Do not make the sensor
detect an object in this
direction because it may
cause unstable operation.
CAUTIONS
٨
Make sure that the power supply is off while
wiring and adjusting.
٨
Take care that wrong wiring will damage the
sensor.
٨
Verify that the supply voltage variation is
within the rating.
٨
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

This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
٨
A mechanical structure is employed for the
٨
distance adjuster of this product. Take care
not to drop the product.
Do not use this sensor in places having excessive
٨
vapor, dust, etc., or where it may come in direct
contact with water, or corrosive gas.
Take care that the sensor does not come in
٨
direct contact with water, oil, grease, or
organic solvents, such as, thinner, etc.
This sensor cannot be used in an
٨
environment containing inflammable or
explosive gases.
Never disassemble or modify the sensor.

Detection-OFF mode is obtained when
the switch is turned fully counterclockwise. (D side)
Note:
Turn the distance adjuster gradually and lightly
with a screwdriver (please arrange separately).

When this product is used, be sure to carry
out the distance adjustment.
٨
Since the distance adjuster of this sensor is a
5-turn adjuster, when the point and is
adjusted as explained in the table below,
there may be more than 1 turn between the
point and .
Therefore, make sure to remember the turns
of both points to find the optimum position.
٨
Be sure to wire the sensing mode selection
input (Pink/2) before distance adjustment. If
the wiring is done after the distance
adjustment, the sensing area is changed.
Turn the distance adjuster gradually and light-
٨
ly with a screwdriver (please arrange separately). In order to protect itself, the distance
adjuster idles if turned fully.
If the adjuster is idled when distance adjustment is done, carry out the adjustment again.
