Connecting the sensor head connection cable

●

For GT2-P***/PA***

Insert the sensor head connection

cable into the cable connector on the

relay connector cable.

Secure the connector with the sensor

head connection cable screw.

●

For units other than GT2-P***/PA***

Insert the sensor head connection

cable into the cable connector of the

sensor head.

Secure the connector by rotating the

grooved portion of the sensor head

connection cable.

•

To disconnect the sensor head connection cable, reverse the steps above.

■

Connecting the amplifier

Remove the lock cover of the connector of the sensor head

connection cable, and insert the sensor head connection cable

into the connector on the back of the amplifier until it clicks.

Put the lock cover on the connector, and lock the lock cover.

■

Mounting the sensor head

●

Mounting directly to a jig

Before mounting the sensor head directory to a jig, create a hole on the

jig. Attach the sensor head using the optional head mounting bracket

sold separately. A mounting bracket is provided with the GT2-P12KF/

P12F/H12K(L)F/H12(L)F as standard. Attach it with the supplied nut.

NOTICE

• When connecting the connector, be sure to insert it

straight, and tighten it securely. (Recommended

tightening torque: 0.4 to 0.5 N

•

m*)

If the connection is not tight enough, the connector

may be loosened by vibration or other causes,

leading to a connection failure.

(* After tightening it firmly by hand, use pliers or

other tools to rotate it about 30° for further

tightening.)

• When the head is attached to a moving part, and

the cable will be repeatedly bent, ensure that the

cable between the sensor head and relay

connector does not bend. Instead, bend the sensor

head cable connecting the relay connector and the

amplifier.

NOTICE

• When connecting the connector, be sure to insert it

without tilt, and tighten it securely. (Recommended

tightening torque: 0.4 to 0.5 N•m*)

If the connection is not tight enough, the connector

may be loosened by vibration or other causes,

leading to a connection failure.

(* After tightening it strongly by hand, use pliers or

other tools to rotate it about 30° for further

tightening.)

• The M8 L-shaped connector (GT2-CHL*M) cannot

be used with the GT2-H32(L)/H50/A32/A50.

NOTICE

To disconnect the sensor head connection cable,

press and hold the lock lever on the side of the

connecter and disconnect the cable.
