Safety Information for IB Series
• This product is just intended to detect the object(s). Do not
use this product for the purpose to protect a human body or a
part of a human body.
• This product is not intended for use as explosion-proof
product. Do not use this product in a hazardous location and/
or potentially explosive atmosphere.
• Provide sufficient safety measures to prevent various damage
in the event this product fails.
• When using this product in combination with other devices,
there may be cases when the functions and performance
cannot be achieved because of the working conditions or
environment, etc. Always review the combination carefully
before starting use.
• Do not apply sudden temperature changes on any device
including the peripheral devices. Condensation could cause
device damage.
Safety Precautions on Laser Products
• This product uses a semiconductor laser for the light source.
• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
• Follow the instructions mentioned in this manual. Otherwise,
injury to the human body (eyes and skin) may result.
Precautions on Class 1 laser products
• Do not stare into the beam.
• Do not disassemble this product. Laser emission from this
product is not automatically stopped when it is disassembled.

Laser emission stop input
When laser emission stop input is set as an external input, laser
emission can be stopped by turning on the external input (2 ms
or more). Laser emission stays stopped while the external input
is on. The laser is emitted within 3 ms after the external input is
turned off. For the conditions of detection outputs and analog
outputs during laser emission stop input, refer to the User's
Manual.
Troubleshooting
Turn the power OFF immediately in the following cases.
Continuing use in an abnormal state can cause damage.
• When water or foreign matter enters the product body.
• When the product has been dropped or the case damaged.
• When smoke or abnormal odors are emitted from the product.
Precautions for Use
• Use this product with the correct power voltage. Failure to do
so could result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not disassembly or modify this product. Failure to observe
this could result in fire or electric shock.
• Always turn off the power of the main unit and any device
connected to the main unit before connecting or
disconnecting a cable.
• Do not turn the power off while setting the items. Doing so
could result in the lost of some or all setting data.
 Installation Environment
To ensure correct and safe use of this product, do not install it in
the following type of environment. Failure to observe this could
result in faults.
• Location subject to high levels of moisture or dust, or which is
poorly ventilated
• Location subject to high temperatures, such as where product
is subject to direct sunlight
• Location subject to corrosive gases or flammable gases
• Location directly subject to vibration or impact
• Location which may be subject to water, oil or chemical spray
• Location where static electric is easily generated

Effect of Contaminants
• Contaminants such as dirt, dust, water or oil may prevent a
correct measurement from being made.
• Spray any contaminants off the transmitter and receiver
sections with clean air. If heavily contaminated, wipe the
sections off with a soft cloth dampened with alcohol.
• Spray any contaminants off the measurement target with
clean air, or wipe them off.
• If contaminants are suspended in the measurement range,
install a protective cover, or perform air purging, etc.
 Measures for Noise
When installing this product near a source of noise such as a
power cable or high voltage cable, it could malfunction or fail
because of the noise. Provide counter measures for noise such
as installing a noise filter, laying the cables in a separate conduit,
or insulating the amplifier unit or sensor head.

Warming Up
Wait at least 30 minutes after turning the power on before
starting use. The circuit will be unstable immediately after the
power is turned on so the display value may gradually fluctuate.

Power On Reset
Once the power is turned on, it will take approx. 2 seconds for the
measurement to start. The judgment output will be output after
the response time (average number of times X sampling rate) has
elapsed.
Other Precautions
 Power Supply
• The product could malfunction by the noise superimposed on
the power supply. Use a DC stabilized power supply with
insulated transformer for the power supply.
• When using a commercially-available switching regulator,
always ground the frame ground terminal.
