Robust in Tightening
The tightening torque has been improved to approx. four times greater
than that of conventional models
because of its thick case. As the
sensor can be securely tightened, it
does not get loose due to vibration or
shock.

Pigtailed type
Pigtailed sensors are optionally available. [Standard type is cable type. However, there are no pigtail options for GX-5SU(B), GX-8MU(B), or GX-8MLU(B).]
When ordering this type, add suffix .-J to the model No.
(e.g.) The pigtail type of GX-12MLUB is GX-12MLUB-J.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
This product is not a safety sensor. Its use is not
intended or designed to protect life and prevent body
injury or property damage from dangerous parts of
machinery. It is a normal object detection sensor.
Mounting
The tightening torque should be under the value given
below.
The surrounding metal will affect the sensing performance. Keep the minimum distance specified in the
table below.

Wiring
The sensor must be connected to a power supply via a
load. If the sensor is connected to a power supply without a
load, the short-circuit protection makes the sensor inoperable.
(The output stays in the OFF state and the indicator does
not light up.) In this case, rectify by connecting the power
supply via a load. Now, the sensor becomes operable.
Further, take care that if the power supply is connected with
reverse polarity without a load, the sensor will get damaged.
