Safety Precautions Fiber Units Warning Sleeve Bender (E39-F11) The bending radius of the stainless steel tube should be as large as possible. The smaller the bending radius is, the shorter the sensing distance will be. • Insert the tip of the stainless steel tube in the Sleeve Bender and slowly bend the tube along the curve of the Sleeve Bender. This product is not designed or rated for ensuring safety of persons either directly or indirectly. Do not use it for such purposes. 1.2 mm dia. max. 1.3 mm dia.min. R12.5 mm R10 mm R5 mm R7.5 mm Fiber tip position mark Precautions for Correct Use Do not use the Fiber Unit in atmospheres or environments that exceed product ratings. 90° max.

10 mm Stainless steel tube Mounting 10 mm Tightening Force Do not bend here. Refer to pages 62 to 66 for the tightening torque to apply when mounting a Fiber Unit. Heat-resistant Fiber Units (E32-D51(R) and E32-T51(R)) The fibers of these Units cannot be extended using the E39-F10 Fiber Connector. Mounting panel Toothed washer Set screw (flat head or sunken head) (M3 max.) E32-T14 These Units may enter the light-ON state if there are reflective objects at the end of the lenses. If reflection is a problem, attach the black stickers provided to the ends of the lenses. Nuts (Provided.) Use a proper-sized wrench for the nut.

E32-T16PR Sensing head To use the provided slit, peel off the backing sheet, align the slit with the edges of the sensing surface, and attach it to the sensing head. Use the slit in applications where saturation occurs (i.e., changes in incident level cannot be detected) due to short sensing distances. The following method is recommended for mounting Fiber Units with fluororesin-covered sensing heads (E32-T @ F and E32-D @ F) to prevent from cracking the fluororesin case. If you use a set screw to secure the Fiber Unit, tighten it with care to prevent from cracking the case.

Provided slit Sensing head of Fiber Unit Vacuum-resistant Fiber Units (E32- V) Although the Flanges, the Fiber Units on the vacuum side, and the Lens Units have been cleaned, as an extra precaution, clean these with alcohol before using them in high-vacuum environments to ensure that they are properly degreased. Connections Do not subject the Fiber Unit to excessive force, such as tension or compression. Refer to pages 62 to 66 for tensile strengths. Make sure any bend in the Fiber Unit is larger than the allowable bending radius. Refer to pages 62 to 66 for bending radius ratings and length of unbendable sections at the base of the Fiber Unit.

• Do not compress or place heavy loads on the fibers. Liquid-level Detection Fiber Unit (E32-D82F1) • Secure the Fiber Unit using the unbendable section. Otherwise, the liquid-level detection position may be displaced. Liquid-level Detection Fiber Units (Tube-mounting Models) • Make sure that the tube is not deformed when using a band to secure the Fiber Unit. Fiber Units Nylon wireholder • The method shown below is an effective way to prevent the Fiber Unit from breaking due to vibration.
