• Use the product, after 0.8 sec of supplying power.
• Wire as short as possible and keep away from high voltage lines or power lines, to prevent surge and inductive noise.
  • Do not use near the equipment which generates strong magnetic force or high frequency noise (transceiver, etc.).
  • In case installing the product near the equipment which generates strong surge (motor, welding machine, etc.), use diode or varistor to remove surge.
• This unit may be used in the following environments.
  • Indoors (UL Type 1 Enclosure)
  • Altitude max. 2,000 m
  • Pollution degree 3
  • Installation category II

Cautions for Installation

• Install the unit correctly with the usage environment, location, and the designated specifications.
• Do NOT impacts with a hard object or excessive bending of the wire lead-out. It may cause damage the water resistance.
• Do NOT pull the Ø 3.5 mm cable with a tensile strength of 25 N, the Ø 4 mm cable with a tensile strength of 30 N or over and the Ø 5 mm cable with a tensile strength of 50 N or over. It may result in fire due to the broken wire.
• When extending wire, use AWG 22 cable or over within 200 m. In case of IO-Link mode, the cable length between the unit and the IO-Link Master should be under 20 m.

• For stable sensing, install the unit within the 70 % of sensing distance.
  • Setting distance (Sa)
  • = Sensing distance (Sn) × 70 %

Mutual-interference & Influence by Surrounding Metals

Mutual-interference

• When plural proximity sensors are mounted in a close row, malfunction of sensor may be caused due to mutual interference.
• Therefore, be sure to provide a minimum distance between the two sensors, as below table.

Influence by surrounding metals

• When sensors are mounted on metallic panel, it must be prevented sensors from being affected by any metallic object except target. Therefore, be sure to provide a minimum distance as below chart.
