Connecting and Mounting the Sensor Head
■ Names of parts of the sensor head
* Not included in the GT2-P12KL/P12L.
● GT2-H12K(L)(F)(LF)/H12(L)(F)(LF)/H32(L)/H50
● GT2-A12K(L)/A12(L)/A32/A50
■ Connecting the sensor head connection cable
● For GT2-P***/PA***
1
Insert the sensor head connection
cable into the cable connector on the
relay connector cable.
2
Secure the connector with the sensor
head connection cable screw.
● For units other than GT2-P***/PA***
1
Insert the sensor head connection
cable into the cable connector of the
sensor head.
2
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
1
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.
2
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.
