Industry’s first PM-25 SERIES PM-45 SERIES PM-65 SERIES

The beam emitting and receiving sections are 0.5 mm 0.02 in thinner than
those on our conventional models 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 sensing section and sensing object.

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.
