Safety Precautions

Refer to Warranty and Limitations of Liability on page 15.

This product is not designed or rated for

directly 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

supply. 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

damaged and the degree of protection may be

degraded.

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

removing the connector.

When using an XS3F Connector, be sure to tighten the

connector lock by hand; do not use pliers or other tools.

If the tightening is insufficient, the degree of protection will not

be maintained and the Sensor may become loose due to

vibration. The appropriate 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

damage 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.

Otherwise, 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.

Otherwise, 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.
