## **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.** 

- Do not short-circuit the load, otherwise the Sensor may be damaged. 

- Do not supply power to the Sensor with no load, otherwise the Sensor may be damaged. Applicable Models: AC 2-Wire Models 

## **Precautions for Correct Use** 

Do not use this product under ambient conditions that exceed the ratings. 

## ● **Design** 

## **Influence of Surrounding Metal** 

When mounting the Sensor within a metal panel, ensure that the clearances given in the following table are maintained. Failure to maintain these distances may cause deterioration in the performance of the Sensor.

   - Values in parentheses apply to Sensors operating at different frequencies. 

- *1. The B dimension applies to the top, right-side, and left-side surfaces. 

- *2. The values for A or B for the TL-N apply when there is metal on only one side of the sensor. If there is metal on two or more sides of the sensor, the value must be multiplied by two or more.

Data presented in Omron Company websites, catalogs and other materials is provided as a guide for the user in determining suitability and does not constitute a warranty. It may represent the result of Omron’s test conditions, and the user must correlate it to actual application requirements. Actual performance is subject to the Omron’s Warranty and Limitations of Liability. 

## Change in Specifications. 

Product specifications and accessories may be changed at any time based on improvements and other reasons. It is our practice to change part numbers when published ratings or features are changed, or when significant construction changes are made. However, some specifications of the Product may be changed without any notice. When in doubt, special part numbers may be assigned to fix or establish key specifications for your application. Please consult with your Omron’s representative at any time to confirm actual specifications of purchased Product. 

## Errors and Omissions. 

Information presented by Omron Companies has been checked and is believed to be accurate; however, no responsibility is assumed for clerical, typographical or proofreading errors or omissions.
