1 3-1 Power Supply
If the power supply for the GS (Non-contact) is the converting type, the power
supply for the GS (Non-contact) must meet the conditions listed below in
order to meet the requirements specified in ISO 14119, IEC 60947-5-3, UL
61010-1, and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010-1.
(a) The rated output voltage is within 24 V DC ±20 % (Ripple P-P 10 % or
less, Class2, SELV, Overvoltage category II).
(b) The insulation between the primary and secondary circuits is reinforced or
double insulation.
(c) The power supply complies with the laws, regulations, and standards
related to items such as electrical safety and electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC) in the country or area in which the GS (Non-contact)
will be used.

Important When the power supply used with the GS (Non-contact) is

shared with other machines or electrical products, the voltage
supplied to the GS (Non-contact) may drop due to temporary
increases in the current consumption of these other machines
and the GS (Non-contact) may also be affected by the noise
generated by these other machines. Errors or other such
problems may occur with the GS (Non-contact) in this
M4 screw situation, so it is strongly recommended to avoid sharing the

DANGER • Ensure that the device does not start or restart automatically
when the emergency stop switch/button is reset.
• Only the devices shown below can be connected to the
safety inputs. Do not connect any other devices.
• GS (Non-contact) OSSDs, GS (Non-contact) OSSDs, and
emergency stop switch/button
• When using a PNP sensor, please connect the OSSDs of the
PNP type GS (Lock) or GS (Non-contact) to the safety inputs.
• When using a NPN sensor, please connect the OSSDs of the
NPN type GS (Lock) or GS (Non-contact) to the safety inputs.

  Wiring example (interlock function: Manual, EDM function:
4-3 Interlock Function Advanced function type
Used)
Interlock is a function that prevents the OSSDs from automatically going into K1, K2: External device (force guided relay,
the ON-state from the OFF-state. This prevents the unintended start-up and/or magnet connector, etc.)
the unintended restart of the machine if the interlock is applied to the GS S1-1: Reset switch (NO)
(Non-contact). It is necessary to perform the reset operation in order for the
GS (Non-contact) to go back to normal operation from the interlock condition.

Point The interlock function cannot be set on the simple function

type and standard type. The interlock function is fixed to
Automatic.

8: Pink (interlock/EDM selection input)

On the advanced function type, the interlock function setting can be selected
from two types: Automatic and Manual.

2: Red/black (safety input 1)

3: Blue (0 V)
Manual:
Even if the conditions for switching the OSSDs to the ON state are met, the
OSSDs maintain the OFF state (interlock state).
<Terminating the interlock state>
To set the OSSDs to the ON state and to start the machine, close the door to
which the GS (Non-contact) has been installed and perform the reset K2
operation after the preparations for starting the machine are complete. This
sets the OSSDs to the ON state and terminates the interlock state.

Point
Automatic and Manual can be used for different purposes as

closed, or if the safety-related part of the control system
other than the GS (Non-contact), such as a safety relay unit,
can ensure the safety with other means.
• Manual: This can prevent unexpected starting of the

also prevent automatic restarting of the machine when the
door, etc. to which the actuator of the GS (Non-contact) is
installed closes. In both situations, the machine can be

Important Note that there are limitations on the wiring when all the
conditions listed below are met.
• The EDM function is used.
• The interlock function is not used (Automatic).
• Units are connected with a cascade connection.
→ Only use the EDM function on the first unit in the cascade
connection. If the EDM function is used on the second or later
units in the cascade connection, EDM errors may occur with
unexpected timing.

Point The EDM function can be used to prevent the hazard from
starting when contact welding occurs. However, the following
differences are present depending on whether the interlock
function is used.
• The interlock function is not used (Automatic): EDM error
• The interlock function is used (Manual): No error occurs

GB GS (Non-contact) UM 10
 4-5 AUX Output
This is an informational output used to check the operating status of the GS
(Non-contact).
The AUX outputs turning ON/OFF is linked with the door opening/closing.
Reference The AUX outputs turn OFF when the sensor has detected an
actuator.
The AUX outputs cannot be used as the safety outputs to a
DANGER
safety-related control system.
• For both the PNP type and NPN type, the AUX outputs can be connected to
either the negative common (0 V common) input or the positive common
(+24 V common) input. However, the ON/OFF status of the loads connected
to the AUX outputs varies depending on the output type and the common
selection on the input device side. The above explanation pertains to the
ON/OFF status of loads when the AUX outputs are also used as PNP
outputs for the PNP type and when the AUX outputs are also used as NPN
outputs for the NPN type. Note that the ON/OFF status of the loads is the
opposite of that explained above when using a PNP type with the AUX
outputs used as NPN outputs and when using an NPN type with the AUX
outputs used as PNP outputs.
• If a sensor error occurs, the AUX outputs turn ON.
4-6 Coding Level
The GS (Non-contact) has two coding levels.
Coding level: Low Any actuator is detected when it enters the range of
(multi operation) the operating distance from the sensor. (Initial state)
Only the specific actuator that the sensor has been
taught to detect is detected when it enters the range of
Coding level: High
(unique operation)
the operating distance from the sensor. The sensor
does not respond to actuators other than the actuator
that it has been taught to detect.
 Switching the coding level (Low → High)
<Switching procedure>
1. Turn the sensor ON with the AUX1 output forming a short circuit with 24 V
(0 V in the case of the NPN type).
2. Within 6 seconds after the sensor starts, have it detect the actuator that
is the teaching target.
3. Maintain the detected state for 7 seconds.
4. Switch to the non-detected state within 6 seconds.
5. Once more, switch to the detected state within 6 seconds.
6. Maintain the detected state for 7 seconds. (*1)
7. Wait 2 seconds until teaching is complete.
8. Turn the sensor OFF.
Clear the short circuit between the AUX1 output (or OSSD operation
switching input 2) and 24 V (0 V in the case of the NPN type) and restart the
sensor to perform unique operations.

*1 Re-teaching can be prohibited by switching to the non-detected state, and

then switching to the detected state within 6 seconds during these 7 seconds.

A sensor that is operating with the “High” coding level can be made to
operate with a different actuator (up to eight times) by performing the same
procedure again.
