■Notes

●Advice for the optics

・Lens of this device shall be kept cleanly. There are cases that dust, water or oil and so on deteriorate

the characteristics of this device. Please consider it at actual application.

・In case that protection is set in front of the emitter and detector portion, the protection cover which has the most

efficient transmittance at the emitting wavelength range of LED for this product (λ=870nm±50nm), shall be

recommended to use. The face and back of protection cover should be mirror polishing. Also, as there are cases

that the characteristics may not be satisfied with according to the distance between the protection cover and this

product or the thickness of the protection cover, please use this product after confirming the operation sufficiently

in actual application.

●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 whether the characteristics of this sensor do not change by the object.

・When the detector surface receive direct light from the sun, tungsten lamp and so on, there are cases that the

distance can not be measured exactly. Please consider the design that the detector does not receive direct light

from such light source.

・Distance between sensor and mirror reflector can not sometimes measure exactly.

By changing the mounting angle of this product, it may measure the distance 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.

(Incorrect) (Correct)

・In order to decrease measuring error due to moving direction of object, we recommend that the sensor be mounted

like the drawing below.

(Incorrect) (Correct)

(Moving direction) (Moving direction)

●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.

・Soldering shall be done with a soldering iron and below 260°C, less than 5s and maximum 2 times.

Also, please pay attention not to put outer force on lead terminals while soldering.

Please do not apply flow soldering because it may damage optical lens of the device.
