All models are standardly equipped with the following Our original integrated molding method has eliminated
protection circuits in their compact bodies. These grooves and gaps on the sensing surface and main
protection circuits minimize the possibility of sensor body, thus reducing the possibility of malfunctions

The beam emitting and receiving sections are 0.5 mm
0.02 in thinner than those on our conventional models No joint seam
while their external dimensions are the same. As a
result, the distance between the beam emitting point and
receiving point increased by 1 mm 0.039 in. The wider
distance means less possibility of collision between the Beam marks for easy adjustment

3) In case the PM-25 series is used at an ambient temperature of +50 °C +122 °F, or more, make sure to mount it on a metal body.
4) Note that the cable of PM-□25-R loses its flexibility when the ambient temperature decreases to about -10 °C +14 F°.
5) The cable of PM-□25-R is a bending-resistant cable usable on a moving base. When the sensor is mounted on a moving base, secure the sensor cable
joint at the unit in place so that stress is not applied to it.
6) When storing PM-□25-R, make sure that the cable does not come into contact with the sensing section or operation indicator.
7) If the cable is extended to 20 m 65.617 ft or longer, confirm that the supply voltage at the end of the cable attached to the sensor is 4.5 V or higher.
