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
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.)
• 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
