Avoid observing beams continuously, particularly in a dark surrounding environment.
Do not look at beams using an optical device such as an optical telephoto system.
Never attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify this product.
A warning label according to IEC (EN) standards is affixed to this product, and warning labels according to JIS, GB, and KS standards are included with it. Remove the IEC (EN) warning label, and then affix an appropriate label to the product as needed.
When exporting this product to the United States of America attach the FDA certificate / identification label to the cable close to the sensing device.

*	This product complies with the FDA regulations (FDA 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11) in accordance with FDA Laser Notice No. 56, except for complying with IEC 60825-1 Ed. 3.

Safety standards for laser beam products

For the purpose of preventing any injury which may occur to the user by the use of the laser product in advance, the following standards have been established by the IEC Standards, EN Standards, JIS Standards, GB Standards, KS Standards and FDA Regulations.

	IEC	: IEC 60825-1:2014
	EN	: EN 60825-1:2014/A11:2021
	JIS	: JIS C 6802:2014
	GB	: GB 7247.1-2012
	KS	: KS C IEC 60825-1:2014
	FDA	: PART 1040.10, 1040.11(Laser Notice No.56 applied)

These standards classifies laser products according to the level of hazard and provide the safety measures for respective classes. Based on the above standards, HG-C series is classified as a Class 2 laser product.

Explanation of hazard levels

Classification	Summary of hazard evaluation
Class 2	A laser that emits visible light with the wavelength range of 400 nm to 700 nm under which eyes can be protected by an aversive reaction (Avoidance behavior) such as a blink.

Note: When an unexpected failure occurs, dangerous radiation may be generated. Therefore, pay special attention to safety.

Safe use of laser products

For the purpose of preventing users from suffering injuries by laser products, each standard stipulates (Safety of laser products). Kindly check the standards before use.

Mounting

When mounting this product, use M3 screws.
The tightening torque should be 0.5 N·m.
Please prepare M3 screws separately.

When mounting the simple mounting bracket (optional) on this product, the tightening torque should be 0.5 N·m or less.

Note:	Due to the simple mounting bracket, the sensing characteristics may not be hold depending on the installation condition, in case of the purposes for acquiring the displacement data and a fine detecting.

Mounting direction

• Direction to a movable body
<When there are differences in material and color>

When performing measurements of moving objects with excessively different materials and colors, mount the product per the following directions to minimize measurement errors.

<Measurement of rotating objects>

When measuring rotating objects, mount the product as follows.
Measurement can be performed with minimized effect on the object caused by up / down deflection, position deviation and etc.

<When there is a step>

When there is a step in the moving object, mount the product as follows.
Measurement can be performed with minimized effect from the edges of the steps.

•Measuring of narrow locations and recesses

When measuring in narrow locations or inside holes, mount the product so that optical path from the lightemitting part to light-receiving part is not interrupted.

•When mounting the product on a wall

Mount the product as follows, so that the multiple light reflections on the wall do not emit to the light-receiving part. When the reflection factor on a wall is high, it is effective to use a dull black color.

Others

This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
Make sure that the power supply is OFF before starting the wiring.
If the wiring is performed incorrectly, it will cause a failure.
Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines, or put them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.
Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual ground.
If noise generating devices (switching regulators, inverter motors, etc.) are used around the sensor mounting area, make sure to connect the frame ground (FG) terminal of the device.
Do not use this product during the transient state when the power supply is turned ON.
The overall length of the cable can be extended to 10 m 32.808 ft maximum (HG-C1000L series: 20 m 65.617 ft maximum) with a cable size of 0.3 mm² or more.
Make sure that stress by forcible bend or pulling is not applied to the sensor cable joint.
Although it depends on the type, light from rapid start type or high frequency lighting type fluorescent lights, sunlight and etc. may affect the sensing, therefore make sure to prevent direct incident light.
This product is suitable for indoor use only.
Keep water, oil, fingerprints and etc. which reflect light, or dust, particles or etc. which interrupts the light, away from the emitting / receiving surfaces of this product.
If contaminants adhere to the surface, wipe off with a dust-free soft cloth, or lens cleaning paper.
Do not use the sensor in locations where there is excessive vapor, dust or etc. or in an atmosphere where corrosive gases, etc. is generated.
Take care that the product does not come in contact with oil, grease, organic solvents such as thinner, etc., strong acid or alkaline.
Make sure to turn OFF the power supply, before cleaning the light emitting / receiving windows of the sensor head.
There is a certain deviation in the directionality of this product. Install the product using a mounting bracket or similar fitting to allow the adjustment of optical axis.
The internal memory (nonvolatile) of this product has a service life. Settings cannot be configured more than 100,000 times.
