Digital CMOS Laser Sensor
GV Series
Instruction Manual
Read this manual before using the software in order to achieve maximum 
performance.
Keep this manual in a safe place after reading it so that it can be used at any time.
The displayed values indicate guidelines for distances and should not 
be used in the actual applications for measurement.
* The laser classification for FDA(CDRH) is implemented based on IEC60825-1 in 
accordance with the requirements of Laser Notice No.50.
Safety measures for the laser
 Laser radiation emission indicator
The laser radiation emission indicator lights up after turning on the power and 
while the laser beam is being emitted.
 Laser emission stop input
The laser emission stops when an emission stop (purple line) signal is input (for 
20 ms or longer). The emission stops while the signal is input. The laser beam is 
emitted a maximum of 20 ms after the signal input is canceled. The control 
output functions according to the detection value even while laser emission 
stop is input.
 Laser warning labels
The following diagrams show the type and position of laser warning labels 
according to the GV Series.
The IEC warning/explanatory labels are only included with Class 2 laser 
products.
When using this product in the countries and/or regions other than U.S., use the 
IEC warning/explanatory label in the package of this product.
In this case, it can be affixed on the FDA (CDRH) warning label, which has 
already been affixed to this product. 
Check if the parts and equipment listed below are included in the package of the 
model you purchased before using the unit.

Safety Precautions
WARNING
•
This product is only intended to detect object(s). Do not use this 
product for the purpose to protect a human body or part of a 
human body. 
•
This product is not intended for use as an explosion-proof 
product. Do not use this product in a hazardous location and/or 
potentially explosive atmosphere. 
Safety Precautions on Laser Products
WARNING
•
This product employs a semiconductor laser for its light source.
•
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other 
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation 
exposure.
•
Follow the instructions mentioned in this manual. Otherwise, injury 
to the human body (eyes and skin) may result.
•
Do not disassemble this product. Laser emission from this product 
is not automatically stopped when it is disassembled.
Precautions on class  /2 laser products
• Do not stare into the beam.
• Do not direct the beam at other people or into areas 
where other people unconnected with the laser work 
might be present.
• Be careful of the path of the laser beam.
If there is a danger that the operator may be exposed 
to the laser beam reflected by specular or diffuse 
reflection, block the beam by installing an enclosure 
with the appropriate reflectance.
• Install the products so that the path of the laser beam 
is not as the same height as that of human eye.
Precaution on class 1 laser products
• Do not stare into the beam.
