Safety Information for GT2-70 Series
If the following conditions are encountered, immediately turn
OFF the power. Continuing to use the GT2-70 Series under
these abnormal conditions may cause equipment failure.
WARNING
• When water or foreign matter enters the controller
• When the GT2-70 Series is dropped or the housing is damaged
• When the GT2-70 Series produces smoke or an abnormal smell
• Do not use the GT2-70 Series with a voltage other than
specified voltage, as this may cause fire, electric shock
or equipment failure.
• Do not disassemble or modify the GT2-70 Series. This
may cause fire or electric shock.
WARNING
• Do not use this product for the purpose to protect a
human body or a part of human body.
• This product is not intended for use as explosion-proof
product. Do not use this product in a hazardous location
and/or potentially explosive atmosphere.
• Be sure to turn OFF the power of the GT2-70 Series and any
connected devices before connecting or disconnecting the
cables. Otherwise, there may be a risk of damage.
• Do not turn OFF the power while setting parameters.
Otherwise, the settings may be partially or completely lost.
• At startup and during operation, be sure to monitor the
function performance of the GT2-70 Series.
• Do not modify the GT2-70 Series or use it in any way
other than described in the specifications.
• The function performance of products used or modified
in this way cannot be guaranteed.
• When the GT2-70 Series is used in combination with other
instruments, function performance may be degraded,
depending on operating conditions and the surrounding
environment. Use the GT2-70 Series after fully studying
the effect of combined use with other instruments.
• Do not expose the GT2-70 Series and peripheral devices
to sudden temperature change. This may cause
condensation, damaging the equipment.
O Environmental conditions
To use the GT2-70 Series properly and safely, do not
NOTICE
install the GT2-70 Series in the following locations. Use
of this equipment in an improper environment may
cause equipment failure.
• Locations outside
• Locations with high humidity, a large amount of dust,
or poor ventilation
• Locations where the temperature rises excessively
due to direct sunlight, etc.
• Locations near corrosive or flammable gas
• Locations where the GT2-70 Series is directly
subjected to vibration or impact
• Locations where water, oil or chemicals may come
into contact with the GT2-70 Series
• Locations where static electricity may easily occur
O Noise countermeasures
Installation near a source of electrical noise such as a
power source or a power cable may cause malfunction
or failure of the equipment. Adopt appropriate
countermeasures against noise by using a noise filter
or wiring cables in separate ducts, attaching insulation
to the amplifier or the sensor head, etc.
1 GT2-70-M-E
machines. Do not drop, or cause any other impact to these
devices. Doing so may cause damage or malfunction.
• Do not apply weight greater than what is listed below to
the spindle. Do not apply rotational torque. Otherwise the
spindle may break.
• The GT2-P12KL(F)/P12L(F)/PA12K(L)/PA12(L) spindle
can rotate a maximum of about 4.5°, the GT2-S1/S5
spindle can rotate a maximum of about 2°. When using an
offset contact (OP-77683) or similar, if pressure in the
rotational direction is applied to the contact, the
measurement position may change.
• Although the GT2-PA12K/PA12/H12K/H12KF/H12/H12F/
H32/H50/A12K/A12/A32/A50 has a protection rating of
IP67, avoid using it immersed in water or in places where
liquid such as oil may come into contact with it.
• Although the GT2-P12K(F)/P12(F) has a protection rating
of IP67G/NEMA Type 13 and the GT2-S1/S5 has a
protection rating of IP67G, some types of oil may damage
the device.
NOTICE • If dust, metal powder, or a similar substance becomes
attached to the spindle of the GT2-PA12K/PA12,
mechanical responses may become slow. If this happens,
replace the dust seal. Refer to the instruction manual
included with the replacement dust seal (OP-87932) for
instructions on how to replace the dust seal.
• Applying an external magnetic field to the GT2-S1/S5 may
affect the measured value. Avoid installations close to
motors and other such devices that generate strong
magnetic fields.
• Iron and other such ferromagnets being close to the GT2-
S1/S5 may affect the measured value. In the case of an
installation next to a ferromagnet, perform calibration after
installation.
For the calibration procedure, see "Calibration setting
mode" in the GT2-70 Series User's Manual.

Q Other precautions
O Effects of surrounding air temperature
To use the GT2-70 Series with high accuracy, do not use the GT2-70 Series in
an environment in which the surrounding air temperature changes sharply.
It will take about 20 minutes when using the 1 mm/5 mm type, 40 minutes for the
12 mm type, and 60 minutes for the 32 mm/50 mm type for the internal temperature
to stabilize when the surrounding air temperature has changed by 10°C.
O Warming up
The circuit is not stable immediately after the power turns ON, which sometimes
causes the indicated value to gradually fluctuate. Wait for about 20 minutes when using
the 1 mm/5 mm type, 5 minutes when using the 12 mm type and about 10 minutes
when using the 32 mm/50 mm type after the power turns on before starting operation.
O GT2-PA12K(L)/PA12(L) (See illustration 1 for the pneumatic circuit)
• This model uses a single-acting cylinder. The internal spring will
return the sensor head to its home position.
• The air supply hole cannot be removed.
• Use an air filter, mist separator, etc. to provide clean dry air. Empty the
drainage from the filter regularly, before it exceeds the specified line.
• Before connecting the air tube to the air supply hole, be sure to blow
plenty of air through the pipes (flushing) to remove any foreign matter.
• Make sure that the air pressure of the supplied air is constant and in the range of 0.24
to 0.26 MPa for the GT2-PA12K/PA12 and in the range of 0.05 to 0.07 MPa for the GT2-
PA12KL/PA12L. Use a precision regulator to control the air pressure. If the air pressure
is below the minimum pressure given above, the spindle may not extend fully.
• When supplying air (with the spindle extended), up to 3 L/min of air will be emitted from the tip
for the GT2-PA12(K) and up to 0.4 L/min of air will be emitted from the tip for the GT2-PA12(K)L.
• The measuring ability of the device changes according to the air pressure
of the air supply. Refer to "Specifications" (page 15) for details.
O GT2-A12K(L)/A12(L)/A32/A50 (See illustration 1 for the pneumatic circuit)
• This model uses a single-acting cylinder. The internal spring will return the sensor head to
its home position when air pressure is removed. DO NOT supply air to the exhaust valve.
• The air cylinder cannot be removed.
• Use the regulator to supply the stable air pressure to the sensor head.
• Use the air filter and mist separators to supply dry air. Empty the
drainage from the filter regularly, before it exceeds the specified line.
• Make sure that the air pressure of the supplied air is constant and in the range of 0.25 MPa to 0.5 MPa.
• The coupling socket and the exhaust valve that are supplied with the
air cylinder are dedicated for this product. They cannot be removed.

O Power supply
• Noise superimposed on the power supply may cause malfunction. Be sure to
use the DC stabilized power supply provided with an insulation transformer.
• In the case of a commercially available switching regulator, be sure to
ground the frame ground terminal or the ground terminal.
O About dust boot
When the dust boot of the sensor head is damaged, use an optional dust boot sold
separately. (For the GT2-P12K(F)/P12(F)/H12K(F)/H12(F)/A12K/A12: OP-84332 (Material:
NBR (attached when shipped)). For the GT2-P12K(F)/P12(F): OP-87859 (Material:
Fluororubber). For the GT2-H32/A32: OP-84459 (Material: NBR (attached when shipped)).
For the GT2-H50/A50: (Material: NBR (attached when shipped)). For the GT2-S1: OP-88063
(Material: NBR). For the GT2-S5: OP-88065 (Material: NBR)). Attach the dust boot correctly.
The dust boot may deteriorate, depending on the environment it is
used in. In this case, replace the dust boot regularly.
* Do not use the dust boot on the GT2-P12KL/P12L/PA12K(L)/PA12(L)/H12KL(F)/H12L(F)/H32L.
