This manual describes how to install the LX2 Series as well as its
operating procedures and precautions. Please read this manual carefully
for your safety.

CAUTION

Avoid mounting the sensor head in a place where electrostatic potential

can build up or which is subject to EMI. If any electrostatic potential
reaches the sensor head, the sensor's laser diode may be damaged. If
such a possibility exists, ground the place where the sensor head is to
be mounted, and insert insulating material between the sensor head and
the mounting surface so that the sensor will be static-free.
See page 3 and 4 for further information.

General Safety precautions

At startup and during operation, be sure to monitor the functions and
performance of the LX2 series.
We recommend that you take substantial safety measures to avoid
any damage in the event a problem occurs.
Do not open or modify the LX2 series or use it in any way other than
described in the specifications.
When the LX2 series is used in combination with other instruments,
functions and performance may be degraded, depending on operating
conditions and the surrounding environment.
Do not use this product for the purpose to protect a human body or a
part of human body.
This product is not intended for use as explosion-proof product. Do
not use this product in a hazardous location and/or potentially
explosive atmosphere.

PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING THE LX2(W) SERIES

The LX2 series uses a semiconductor laser diode for the light source.
When using the sensor, be sure to follow the precautions given below.
Before connecting the sensor head to the controller, be sure to turn off
the controllers power supply.
Otherwise, noise generated due to chattering at the connection may
damage the semiconductor laser diode.
Before performing maintenance or inspection work, be sure to turn off
the power supply.
Performing maintenance or inspection work with the power on may
damage the sensor.

The sensor head is grounded through its housing. Therefore, if the

sensor head is mounted on a surface to which noise is conveyed, the
noise may cause the sensor to malfunction or may damage the
semiconductor laser diode.
In such a case, insulate the sensor head from the mounting surface.
(For the method for insulating the sensor head from the mounting
surface, see page 4.)
Static electricity on the human body or around the sensor head may
damage the semiconductor laser diode.
Pay special attention to prevent electrostatic discharge when connecting the sensor head and controller. When connecting them, be sure to
use an anti-static wrist strap.

Do not install the sensor head where water, oil, organic solvent, etc.
may splash it.
Failure to follow this may cause not only unstable measurement but
may also damage the sensor head due to entry of the liquid inside the
unit.
Do not install the power supply cable or sensor head cable in the
same conduit as high voltage lines or power lines.
Failure to follow this may cause the sensor to malfunction due to noise
interference or may damage the semiconductor laser diode.
Noise conveyed through the power supply may cause a malfunction or
damage.
In such a case, use an insulating transformer for the power supply to
stabilize the DC power supply. When using a switching regulator, be
sure to ground the frame-ground and ground terminals.

METHOD FOR INSULATING THE SENSOR HEAD FROM THE MOUNTING SURFACE
Method 1: When using metallic screws to mount the
sensor head
Fill up the hole with plastic.

Method 2: When using plastic screws to mount the

sensor head

Plastic plate

5 mm or more

Mounting stay

Use an insulating plastic plate with a thickness of 5 mm or more. Though

the kind of plastic is not specified, plastic that withstands a higher
voltage is preferred (e.g. Teflon, etc.).
Make a hole in the two places on the plastic plate, and insert screws
from the bottom surface of the plate to fix the sensor head to the plate.
Fill up the holes with silicone or other plastic to prevent the head of the
screws from coming into contact with the surface of the mounting stay.

5 mm or more

Mounting stay

Use an insulating plastic plate with a thickness of 5 mm or more. Though

the kind of plastic is not specified, plastic that withstands a higher
voltage is preferred (e.g. Teflon, etc.).
Do not use the acrylic plastic screws included with the sensor. Since
they do not provide satisfactory strength, the sensor head may be
dislocated after mounting.

ALIGNMENT OF OPTICAL AXIS

1. Analog voltage output

2. Optical axis

The LX2-70(W) outputs an analog voltage according to the interrupted

area of the laser beam. The relationship between the interrupted area
and the analog output voltage is shown in the graph below.

The optical axis of the LX2 is factory-aligned so that the relationship

between the interrupted area and the analog output voltage can be
plotted as shown above.
For instant optical axis adjustment, the bottom surfaces of the transmitter
and the receiver, and the right side of the transmitter and the receiver
(when viewed from the transmitter to the receiver) are designed to be
aligned. Set the both sides of transmitter and receiver to align to the
same plane level. Otherwise, follow the alignment procedure below.

HINTS ON CORRECT USE

Compatibility

Environment

A transmitter and receiver with the same serial number have been
calibrated as a pair. Therefore, be sure to use transmitter and receiver
with the same serial number in order to satisfy specifications.
*The sensor head and the amplifier are compatible.

Always keep transmitting and receiving surfaces of the sensor head

free from materials which may refract the laser beam (such as water
or oil).

CAUTION

Be sure to use a "W" type amplifier in combination with a "W" type

sensor head. If you connect a non "W" type amplifier to a "W" type
sensor head, it may cause an electric shock or may burnout the
amplifier or the sensor.

Power supply
When using a commercially available switching regulator, be sure to
correctly ground the chassis ground or earth ground terminal.

When the lenses become soiled, clean with a dry and soft cloth. Do
not use an organic solvent.
If there are air layers of different temperature between the LX2-110
transmitter and receiver, this may cause a deterioration in resolution.

Monitor output cable (blue)

If the monitor output cable (blue) and the shielding cable are shortcircuited, the LX series will not operate. If this condition is maintained for
a prolonged period, the amplifier may become damaged.

Wiring

Extending the cable between the amplifier and sensor

head

Route the wiring of the sensor head in a metal conduit separate from
high-voltage cables, power cables, and signal cables that generate EMI.
Otherwise, the sensor head and controller may malfunction.

If the cable between the amplifier and the sensor head is extended, the
LX2 series is more likely to be affected by interference, which may result
in poor resolution. Do not extend the sensor cable.

Mounting the sensor head

Install the transmitter and receiver so that the mounting holes of both
devices are positioned in the same plane.

CAUTION

Do not connect the sensor head while power is supplied to the

amplifier.

Do not install the sensor head in a place subject to vibrations.
