Thank you for purchasing products from Panasonic Electric Works SUNX
Co., Ltd. Please read this Instruction Manual carefully and thoroughly for
the correct and optimum use of this product. Kindly keep this manual in a
convenient place for quick reference.

 This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
 Make sure to carry out wiring with the power OFF.
 Verify that the supply voltage including the ripple is within the rating.
 Do not connect the sensor to voltage that exceeds the rated range or
directly to an AC power supply: it may damage or burn the sensor.
 Incorrect wiring or short-circuiting the load may damage or burn the
sensor.
 When the emitting level function is turned from OFF to ON for any level,
the output may be unstable. Do not use the output control for at least
0.5s after starting emission. (See “PRO1” on page 6.)
 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.
 In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator, inverter motor,
etc.) is used in the vicinity of this product, connect the frame ground
(F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an actual ground.
 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.
 Do not use during the initial transient time (0.5s) after the power supply is
switched on.
 This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
 You can extend the cable up to 100m max. with 0.3mm
2
or more cable. If
5 to 8 units are connected in cascade, the limit is 50m; for 9 to 16 units in
cascade, 20m. However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as
short as possible.
 Note that extending the cable increases the residual voltage.
 Be sure to use the optional quick-connection cable when connecting to
the connector type sensor FX-301(P).
 Avoid dust, dirt and steam.
 Take care that the sensor does not come in contact with oil, grease,
organic solvents such as thinner, etc., strong acid, or alkaline.
 Do not use this sensor in an environment containing inflammable or
explosive gases.
 Never disassemble or modify the sensor.
 You may break the spring hook if you do not follow the mounting
instructions carefully.
