The total cable safety of persons either directly or indirectly. length must be 5 m maximum. Do not use it for such purposes. ● Adjustment • The EE-SPX613 requires 10 ms to be in stable operation after Precautions for Correct Use power is supplied. If separate power supplies are used for the EE-SPX613 and load, Make sure that this product is used within the rated ambient be sure to supply power to the EE-SPX613 before supplying power environment conditions. to the load. ● Nomenclature • Make sure that smoke, air bubbles, or water droplets are not able EE-SPX613 to form either inside or outside the pipe. Otherwise, a malfunction Operation selector may occur. Sensitivity selector • Do not impose any force exceeding 5 N on the operation mode selector or sensitivity selector. r Light indicato (red) ● Others Operating Environment • Do not use the EE-SPX613 outdoors. Cable • Do not use the EE-SPX613 in places where water, oil, or chemical may be sprayed onto the EE-SPX613. ● Mounting The exterior coverings of the EE-SPX613 are made of polycarbonate. Keep the coverings away from any alkaline, • The EE-SPX613 may not operate correctly if it is attached to an aromatic hydrocarbon, or aliphatic chloride hydrocarbon solvents, unsuitable pipe (e.g., opaque pipe). all of which will damage the coverings. • Always use the supporting belts and slip protection tubes that are • Do not use the EE-SPX613 in places where the EE-SPX613 is provided with the EE-SPX613 when attaching the EE-SPX613 to a subject to direct sunlight, corrosive gas or salt air. pipe, as shown in the following illustration, and make sure that the pipe is in the center of the sensor slot and not separated from the pedestal. When tightening the supporting belts, make sure that the pipe will not be deformed.
