Caution for using
1、Please make sure the wiring is correct before power-on.
2、Use a visor or a hood so that excessive light（e.g. sunlight, spotlight）does not directly
enter into the inclination angle of the sensor.
Three,24 3、When more than 2 sets of Through-beam type sensor are used closely,it might cause inter-
ference each other. Be sure to put enough space between them in order to avoid malfunction.
4、Sensor can mulfunction due to light entering from adjacent sensor, so sensors must be
installed with enough seperated distance.
5、If the sensor is installed directly on a flat surface, the reflection off the surface may cause
malfunction. Make sure there is enough space between the sensor and the surface.
Reflector 6、If the sensor is wired with a high voltage line or power line, it may cause product damage
or malfunction. Use separate wiring or a dedicated conduit.
7、Please use short cables for wiring the sensors. Power surge from extended wiring may cause
product malfunction；
8、When the lens is stained by foreign substances, clean the lens lightly with dry cloth. Do not
use chemical or organic solvents.
