Precautions

■ Correct Use

Do not use the product in atmospheres or environments that exceed

product ratings.

Connections

• The XS3 and XS2 Sensor I/O Connectors cannot be connected to

each other.

• When using Sensors with Connectors or Limit Switches, use the

Sensor I/O Connectors specified in the catalog.

Connector Connection and Disconnection

• Before connecting or disconnecting Connectors, make sure that no

power is being supplied to the Connectors.

• When connecting or disconnecting Connectors, be sure to hold the

Connectors by hand. Do not disconnect the Connectors by pulling

the cable.

• Do not touch the engagement side of any Connector with wet

hands. If there is any water on the Connector or near the Connec-

tor, be sure to wipe off the water before connecting or disconnect-

ing the Connector, otherwise the Connector may short-circuit

internally or not ensure good insulation.

• Make sure that engagement side of any Connector is free of metal

dust or power.

• Do not use pliers to tighten mounting the thread bracket, otherwise

the thread bracket may be damaged. Be sure to tighten each thread

bracket by hand within a torque of 0.2 N·m. If the thread bracket is

not tightened securely, the Connector may not maintain its proper

degree of protection or the thread bracket may fall off due to vibra-

tion.

Cable Wire Color

• The M8 Sensor I/O Connectors use the following lead wire colors.

Degree of Protection

• Do not impose external force continuously on the joints of pin

blocks and covers, otherwise the Connectors may not keep its

proper degree of protection (i.e., IP67).

• Connectors are not fully watertight. Do not use them underwater.

• The Connectors are not oil-resistant. Do not use them where they

would be subject to oil.

• If Connectors are used in places with vibration or shock, secure the

engaged side of each Connector, otherwise the Connectors may be

disconnected or fail to maintain their proper degree of protection.

• Connectors are of resin mold construction. Do not impose exces-

sive force on them.

Storage

Do not store Connectors for long periods of time in the following loca-

tions

• Locations subject to dust or high humidity

• Locations subject to ammonia gas or sulfide gas
