## **Safety Precautions** 

## **Refer to** _**Warranty and Limitations of Liability**_ **.** 

## **WARNING** 

**This product is not designed or rated for ensuring safety of persons either directly or indirectly. Do not use it for such purposes** 

## **Precautions for Correct Use** 

Make sure that this product is used within the rated ambient environment conditions. 

## ● **Mounting** 

The sensing distance for the EE-SPY Reflective-type Photomicrosensor with built-in amplifier varies from 8 to 20 mm depending on the product (90% reflective white paper). Do not place glossy objects in the background of the sensing object. 

## ● **Wiring** 

- Connection is made using a connector. Do not solder to the pins (leads). 

- When extending the cable, use an extension cable with conductors having a total cross-section area of 0.3 mm[2] . The total cable length must be 2 m maximum. 

- To use a cable length longer than 2 m, attach a capacitor with a capacitance of approximately 10 μF to the wires as shown below. The distance between the terminal and the capacitor must be within 2 m. 

(Use a capacitor with a dielectric strength that is at least twice the Sensor's power supply voltage.)

- Make sure the total length of the power cable connected to the product is less than 10 m even if a capacitor is inserted.
