PRECAUTIONS FOR USE. Influence of surrounding metal Metal other than the target object surrounding the switch may influence operating characteristics. Leave space between the switch and surrounding metal as shown below. A B Shaded areas indicate surrounding metal other than the target object. A: Distance from sensing face of proximity switch to mounting surface B: Distance from surface of iron plate to sensing face of proximity switch. Dimensions in parentheses apply if a hexagonal nut is attached to the front. C: Distance from surface of iron plate to center of proximity switch when A= FL7M-3 6H FL7M-7 6H FL7M- 6 A C C B(mm) 8 C(mm) 9. 3.5.5. Mutual interference prevention When mounting proximity switches either parallel to or facing each other, mutual interference may cause the switch to malfunction. Maintain at least the distances indicated in the figures below. Parallel Facing each other A(mm) 3. Cautions for series or parallel connection 3. Series connection (AND switching circuit) When connecting two or more proximity switches in series, erroneous output ( to 3 ms) may occur without the rated current being supplied to each of the switches. For this reason, series connection of proximity switches is not recommended. However, if proximity switches must be connected in series, a resistor of kω must be put in parallel to each of the switches. Note that the maximum leakage current in a series connection will be 3.5 ma. lag also will occur, resulting in increased voltage drop, and the operation lamp will not light. lag = ms x (No. of switches in series - ) kω Voltage drop = Voltage drop of single switch x kω No. of switches in series 3. Parallel connection (OR switching circuit) If two or more proximity switches are connected in parallel, total leakage current increases according to the following formula, and may result in the load not turning OFF. (Leakage current = Leakage current of single switch x No. of switches in parallel) When two or more switches in parallel turn ON, one (or more) of their operating s may not light up. This is normal.. Relay loads The voltage drop of these FL7M switches is 3V. Pay attention to this voltage drop when using a relay load. (With Vdc relays, switching is not possible.) FL7M-3 6H FL7M-7 6H FL7M- 6 B A(mm) B(mm) 35 7 3 5 5. upon power ON After the power is turned ON, it takes at most ms until the proximity switch is ready for sensing. If the load and the proximity switch use different power supplies, be sure to turn the proximity switch ON before turning the load ON. 6. Influence of leakage current A minimal current flows as leakage current for operating the circuits even when the proximity switch is OFF. Keep this in mind when turning off connected loads. 7. Minimum bend radius (R) The minimum bend radius (R) of the is 3 times the diameter. Take care not to bend the beyond this radius. Also, do not excessively bend the within 3 mm of the lead-in port. Before use, thoroughly read the Precautions for use and Precautions for handling in the Technical Guide on pages C-7 to C-3 as well as the instruction manual and product specification for this switch. 8
