Compact Inductive Proximity Sensor GA-311/GH
Cautions For Use
- Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection.
- In case of using sensing devices for personnel protection, use products which meet laws and standards, such as OSHA, ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection applicable in each region or country.
・ |
Always be sure to use sensor heads and amplifiers from the same set. |
・ |
Do not shorten or lengthen the sensor head cable. |

- The sensing range is specified for the standard sensing object. With a non-ferrous metal, the sensing range is obtained by multiplying with the correction coefficient specified below. Further, the sensing range also changes if the sensing object is smaller than the standard sensing object or if the sensing object is plated.

Others
- Do not use during the initial transient time (0.5 sec.) after the power supply is switched on.
- Do not use the sensor at places having intense vibrations, as this can cause malfunction.
- Make sure that stress by forcible bend or pulling is not applied directly to the cable joint of the sensor head.
