Notes:
1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 ℃ +73.4 .
2) Make sure to confirm detection with an actual sensor before use.
3) The amplifier should be used under the ambient temperature of +15 to +35 ℃ +59 to +95 when the tolerance adjuster is set from the 1st grade to the 4th grade, which provide fine color resolution.
4) The voltage withstandability and the insulation resistance values given in the above table are for the amplifier only.

Weight Net weight: 15 g approx.

Notes:
1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 ℃ +73.4 .
2) The sensing range of each fiber is the range for which white non-glossy paper can be detected at the sensitivity for which teaching has been done with a white non-glossy paper (50 x 50 mm 1.969 x 1.969 in ) at the respective rated setting distance and at the 16th grade (▲ mark) of tolerance.
3) If the fiber cable is bent at less than R25 mm R0.984 in or less, the detectability may deteriorate.
4) Since fiber FD-L51 (standard type) is easily affected by specular reflection, it is possible that teaching may not be properly done or sensing may be unstable if objects of high reflectivity (mirror, plated objects, copper foil, etc.) are sensed. When such objects are to be sensed, please use FD-L52 (high precision type) or FD-L53 (extremely small spot type) and make sure that the projected optical beam is perpendicular to the object surface.
