GL-18H type: 11 mm 0.433 in • Please carry out the wiring carefully since protection circuit against reverse power supply connection is not incorporated. • The output does not incorporate a short-circuit protection circuit. Do not connect it directly to a power supply or a capacitive load. • Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring. • Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating. • If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual ground. • In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator, inverter motor, etc.) is used in the vicinity of this sensor, connect the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an actual ground. • Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction. Others • Do not use during the initial transient time (50ms) after the power supply is switched on. • Take care that the sensor does not come in direct contact with oil, grease, or organic solvents, such as, thinner, etc. • Make sure that the sensing end is not covered with metal dust, scrap or spatter. It will result in malfunction. Compact & Low Price Inductive Proximity Sensor DIMENSIONS (Unit: mm in) Sensing direction 18 0.709 Sensor 10.5 0.413 MS-GL18HL Sensor mounting bracket for GL-18HL type (Accessory) 4 0.157 10.5 0.413 11 0.433 17.5 0.689 (6.1)(0.240) 4.5 0.177 10 0.394 Operation indicator (Red) 11 0.433 20 0.787 (4.5)(0.177) LASER SENSORS MICRO PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS AREA SENSORS SAFETY LIGHT CURTAINS / SAFETY COMPONENTS PRESSURE / FLOW SENSORS 20 0.787 11 0.433 7 0.276 10 0.394 FIBER SENSORS PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS 3.2 0.126 2-M3 × 0.5 0.020 2-ø3.3 ø0.130 mounting holes ø4.8 ø0.189 cable, 1 m 3.281 ft long 18 0.709 816 The CAD data can be downloaded from our website.
