･Do not use connectors for sensor head-to-amplifier connections
more than 100 times.
･Displayed values may vary due to surrounding conditions (e.g.
temperature changes, dust)

Cautions on using the LV-H62/H67

･Use FINE mode when there are any white or mirror-surfaced objects
near the sensor head.
･When the output is unstable in standard 1 mode (Std),
change the detection mode to standard 2 (Std2).

Reflector
･The values on the received light intensity display may vary depend-
ing on the surface condition of the reflector.

Cautions on Usage the LV-H100/H300

•Use the exclusive bracket (optional LV-B101, LV-B102, LV-B301,

LV-B302) to mount the sensor. Adjust the light axis of the transmitter
and receiver in both the vertical and horizontal directions without
any target in the detection area. Then, mount the sensor while
maximizing the value displayed on the amplifier. (Adjust the light
axis so that the transmitter beam is at the center of the receiver
block)
•When mounting the sensor, mount the transmitter and receiver so
that their sides on which the indicator is mounted face the same
direction.
