Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important safety guideline I need to follow when using this equipment?

You must read the Safety Precautions on page 10, and never use the product for an application involving serious risk to life or property.

If I install a Through-beam Model, how many mounting brackets do I need?

You must order two Mounting Brackets: one specifically for the Emitter and another for the Receiver.

Are the specified performance data values guaranteed accurate for my unique setup?

No; the data is provided as a guide. Users must correlate it to actual application requirements, as performance is subject to Omron’s Warranty.

What do 'Self Diagnosis' models offer over standard sensors?

Sensors designated with Self Diagnosis provide an internal feature allowing monitoring of their operational status.
