ORDER GUIDE

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USEMounting

• When mounting this sensor, use a mounting plate (MS-EXL2-3). Without using the mounting plate, beam misalignment may occur. Also, install the mounting plate in between the sensor and the mounting surface.

• The tightening torque should be 0.5 N·m or less.Note: Themountingdirectionofthemountingplateisfixed.Installinaway

so that the bending shape is facing the sensor side.

•This catalog is a guide to select a suitable product. Be sure to read the instruction manual attached to the product prior to its use.

•Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection.

•In case of using sensing devices for personnel protection, use products which meet laws and standards,suchasOSHA,ANSIorIECetc.,for personnel protection applicable in each region or country.
