PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
Refer to General precautions.
Mutual interference prevention
Sensing range
•When two or more sensors are installed in parallel or face
to face, keep the minimum separation distance specified
below to avoid mutual interference.

GL-18HL type
•The sensing range is specified for the standard sensing
object.
With a non-ferrous metal, the sensing range is obtained
by multiplying with the correction coefficient specified
below.
Further, the sensing range also changes if the sensing
object is smaller than the standard sensing object or if the
sensing object is plated.

Notes: 1) “I” in the model No. specifies the different frequency type.
2) Close mounting is possible for up to two sensors. When mounting
three sensors or more at an equal spacing, align the model with “I”
and the model without “I” alternately.
The minimum value of dimension “H” should be as given below.

Wiring
•Please carry out the wiring carefully since protection
circuit against reverse power supply connection is not
incorporated. (Excluding GL-8U type)
•The output does not incorporate a short-circuit protection
circuit. Do not connect it directly to a power supply or a
capacitive load. (Excluding GL-8U type)
•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.

•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.
