HANDLING. Handling precautions 2. Wiring precautions Output is disabled upon power-up for 5 ms max. until the unit stabilizes. When used outdoors, use a case to ensure that the unit is not exposed to direct sunlight or rain. Applications involving strong vibration or shock should be avoided due to potential for misalignment of the optical axis. Water or oil splashed on the lens surface may cause incorrect opertion. Shield it to prevent direct splashes. Do not use where exposed to chemicals (organic solvents, acids, alkalis, etc.). Use a cover or change the mounting direction to ensure correct switch operation if there is heavy interference from ambient light. When used in a very dusty environment, be sure to take countermeasures to keep dust away from the lens surface by using a sealed case or air purging. Even when oil-resistant cable is used, do not use in a location subject to continuous splashing by water or oil, or where the unit is immersed in liquid. Ensure that the end of the cable is not subject to splashing by water or oil. Do not bend the part of the cable nearest to the main body beyond the bend radius of mm. Avoid continuous bending stress. Pulling with excessive force may break the cable. Do not apply a force of more than 5 N. Photoelectric switches are assembled with precision. Never strike with another object. Especially if the lens surface is scratched or cracked, switch performance may decline. Handle with care. To clean the lens or reflector, wipe lightly with a soft, clean cloth or cloth moistened with water. Do not use an organic solvent such as alcohol, benzene, acetone, or thinner. When multiple photoelectric switches are used close together, mutual interference may occur. After installation., check the operation carefully before use. When a polarized retroreflective model is used to detect highly reflective object or objects that disturb polarization, detection might be inconsistent. In such case, take the following countermeasures: Examples of target object that might cause faulty operation: Target object covered with a transparent film Semi-transparent target object (semi-transparent case, etc.) Mirror or highly reflective mirrorlike object Countermeasures: Mount the switch at a slight angle to the target object. Increase the distance between the switch and the target object. Lower the sensitivity setting of the switch. Use the supplied screws to mount the main body. The recommended tightening torque is.6 to 2. N m. When using screws other than the supplied ones, use screws that can be inserted at least m into the unit. Be careful when you use stainless steel screws as they are likely to cause corrosion on the main body. If the unit is used in a corrosive environment (except in an environment with cutting oil), mount the unit by inserting the HP8-PA spacer (sold separately) between the screw and the main body. Although oil proof cables are used, note that depending on the oil type (water-insoluble cutting oil and machine oil), the cables may harden or their sealing performance may deteriorate. Also, prevent the end of the cable from coming into contact with water and oil. Tightly fasten the by hand. (. to.6 N m) The lens cover is made of glass. A direct impact to the lens cover may cause it to break. Do not use the lens cover in applications where the entry of glass pieces of a broken lens would cause a problem. Operate the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer with a torque of.5 N m or less because it may be damaged by excessive torque. Do not connect the unit to an AC power supply. Doing so may cause it to rupture and/or catch fire. If the switch is used in a location where there is a lot of ambient light, block the light with a hood, or change the installation orientation of the switch and then check that the switch does not malfunction. If there is a possibility that an object or a person will collide with this unit, install a protective cover. If a cable extension is necessary, use wire at least. mm2 in cross-sectional area and at most m long. If the wires of photoelectric switch are laid in the same conduit as high-voltage or power lines, inductance may cause malfunction or damage. Isolate the photoelectric switch's cable or lay it in a separate conduit. When using a commercially available switching regulator, ground the frame ground and ground terminals. If used without grounding, switching noise may cause faulty operation. When using a load which generates an inrush current above the switiching capacity, such as a capacitive load or incandescent lamp, connect a current-limiting resistor between the load and the output terminals. Otherwise, the output short-circuit protection function may be activated.. Adjustment method When there are many target objects or detection position changes, check the switch's operation check during trial run adjustment. Be sure to check that there is no effect from light reflected from surrounding objects. model and polarized retroreflective model. Move the emitter and receiver (main body and reflector in case of a polarized retroreflective model) up, down, right, and left, and then align them in the center of the area where the green stable-operation indicator lights up. 2. Finally, with the target object in position, be sure to check that the switch correctly operates. Diffuse-scan model. Mount the photoelectric switch pointing toward the desired detection position. 2. With no target object present, slowly turn the light quantity adjustment potentiometer from MAX position toward MIN position, and find the position (called position A) where the output indicator (orange) goes off (or lights up). If the output indicator is off (on) even with the knob at MAX position, MAX position is position A.. With a target object in place, slowly turn the light quantity adjustment potentiometer from MIN position toward MAX position, and find the position (position B) where the output indicator (orange) lights up (or goes off).. Put the light quantity potentiometer in the center between A and B. B C A MIN MAX Output indicator Note: The above adjustment method is primarily for light-on operation. For dark-on operation, apply the text in parentheses.. Precautions for disposal This switch uses fluororesin and PVC resin. Never incinerate these materials, as doing so produces toxic gas. When disposing of this switch, handle it as industrial waste and dispose of it appropriately, observing local laws and regulations.
