Transparent object sensor
Safety Precautions
This product is not designed or rated for direct-
ly or indirectly ensuring safety of persons. Do
not use it for such a purpose.
Do not use the product with voltage in excess
of the rated voltage. Excess voltage may result
in malfunction or fire.
Never use the product with an AC power sup-
ply. Otherwise, explosion may result.
When cleaning the product, do not apply a
high-pressure spray of water to one part of the
product. Otherwise, parts may become dam-
aged and the degree of protection may be de-
graded.
The following precautions must be observed to ensure safe
operation of the Sensor.
Operating Environment
Do not use the Sensor in an environment where explosive or
flammable gas is present.
Connecting Connectors
Be sure to hold the connector cover when inserting or remov-
ing the connector.
When using an XS3F connector, be sure to tighten the con-
nector lock by hand or preferably with a torque wrench; do not
use other tools. If too much tightening torque is applied the de-
gree of protection will not be maintained. If the tightening is in-
sufficient, the degree of protection will not be maintained and
the sensor may become loose due to vibration. The appropri-
ate tightening torque is 0.3 to 0.4 N·m.
When using another, commercially available connector, follow
the usage and tightening torque instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
Load
Do not use a load that exceeds the rated load.
Low-temperature Environments
Do not touch the metal surface with your bare hands when the
temperature is low. Touching the surface may result in a cold
burn.
Oily Environments
Do not use the Sensor in oily environments. They may dam-
age parts and reduce the degree of protection.
Modifications
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the Sensor.
Outdoor Use
Do not use the Sensor in locations subject to direct sunlight.
Cleaning
Do not use thinner, alcohol, or other organic solvents. Other-
wise, the optical properties and degree of protection may be
degraded.
Cleaning
Do not use highly concentrated cleaning agents. Otherwise,
malfunction may result. Also, do not use high-pressure water
with a level of pressure that exceeds the stipulated level. Oth-
erwise, the degree of protection may be reduced.
Surface Temperature
Burn injury may occur. The Sensor surface temperature rises
depending on application conditions, such as the ambient
temperature and the power supply voltage. Use caution when
operating or performing maintenance on the Sensor.
Cable Bending
Do not bend the cable in temperatures of
−
25
°
C or below.
Otherwise, the cable may be damaged.
