[Advice for the characteristics]
●In case that there is an object near to light exits of the sensor between the sensor and the detected object, please use
this device after confirming sufficiently what the characteristics of this sensor do not change by the object.
●This product has the function to remove disturbance light by the cancellation function of ambient light, a visible light cut
lens, etc. But when the detector receive direct light from the sun, tungsten lamp and so on, there are cases that it can not
measure the distance exactly. Please consider the design that the detector does not receive direct light from such light
source. When you operate the customer’s set installing this product by the remote control, please consider soft that the
output of this product being disregarded at the time of remote control operation by software.
●Distance between sensor and mirror reflector cannot be measured exactly.
●In case that reflective object has boundary line clearly, there is cases that distance can not measure exactly.
At that time, if direction of boundary line and the line between emitter center and detector center are parallels,
it is possible to decrease deviation of measuring distance.

●In order to decrease measuring error due to moving direction of object, we recommend to mount the sensor like
below drawing.

●For satisfying the specification of the electro optical characteristic, it is necessary to install a flat surface of object in
vertical of emitted light, and it is necessary to reflect the whole emitted light as shown in the following figure. As shown
in the example of directional angle of emitting beam, The angle is around 6 ° (±3°) where emission becomes 10% of
peaks. The object needs to exist in whole around 10 degrees (±5 degrees) area including the variation of peak position.
For example, when the object is in 50 cm, it is necessary to install the object of at least 9cm diameter parallel to the
surface of this sensor as follows. However above example doesn’t guarantee specification, please use it after confirming
with customer’s product.
[Notes on handling]
●Please don’t do washing. Washing may deteriorate the characteristics of optical system and so on.
Please confirm resistance to chemicals under the actual usage since this product has not been designed against washing.
●Please use this product under the condition that applied stress to the connector below 0.49N. And, harness is pulled
in the state where it attached this sensor, or please be careful so that the stress more than the above may not be added to
this sensor.
●This product have the parts that mount to the substrate by soldering . Since there is a possibility that a solder mounting
part may break when this product is used, the stress more than 4.9N should not be added to this product.
