PREUTIONS FOR USE. Mounting The allowable tightening torque varies according to the distance from the sensing face. FL7M- FL7M-5 Length (mm) *The table shows the allowable tightening torque when toothed washers (provided) are used. *The allowable tightening torque varies depending on the materials and surface conditions of the mounting plates, mounting housings, nuts, washers and other parts used for the switch. heck that the torque is appropriate for the actual combination of parts used before putting the switch into operation. Max. tightening torque (N m). 7. 5.. 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.. autions for series or parallel connection. Series connection (ND switching circuit) When connecting two or more proximity switches in series, erroneous output ( to 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.5 m. Operation lag also will occur, resulting in increased voltage drop, and the operation indicator lamp will not light. Operation lag = ms x (No. of switches in series - ) Voltage drop = Voltage drop of single switch x No. of switches in series kω kω. 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 indicators may not light up. This is normal. Shaded areas indicate surrounding metal other than the target object. : Distance from sensing face of proximity switch to mounting surface : Distance from surface of iron plate to sensing face of proximity switch.

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. Facing each other Parallel 5. Relay loads The voltage drop of these FL7M switches is 5V. Pay attention to this voltage drop when using a relay load. (With Vdc relays, switching is not possible.). Operation upon power ON fter 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. 7. Influence of leakage current 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.. Minimum cable bend radius (R) The minimum bend radius (R) of the cable is times the cable diameter. Take care not to bend the cable beyond this radius. lso, do not excessively bend the cable within mm of the cable lead-in port FL7M- FL7M-5 (mm) 5 9 (mm) 5 5 efore use, thoroughly read the Precautions for use and Precautions for handling in the Technical Guide on pages -7 to - as well as the instruction manual and product specification for this switch.
