ON OFF
Sampling period When a delay time is set, the input OFF timing and the end of the sampling period will not be synchronous. SELF-UP The sampling period is the period that the measured value is greater than the specified self-trigger level. Hold measurement is possible without a sync input.

DELAY
A delay time is set to ignore measured values immediately after the timing input. This is useful for avoiding bounding during device startup and the influence of machine vibration. The delay time (the delay between timing input and the start of sampling) and the sampling period can be set.

Setting OFF ON Description The delay time is not set. When ON is selected, the following items are subsequently displayed: · T-DELAY Sets the delay time. Range: 1 to 5000 (ms) Set so that the "delay time + sampling time" is less than the timing input ON interval. If the next timing input for measurement is received before the "delay time + sampling period" has elapsed, that timing input will be ignored and will not be reflected in the sampling.

Setting Zero Reset
When the zero reset function is used, the reference value "0" is registered as the height and the measured value can be displayed and output as a positive or negative deviation (tolerance) from the reference value. In the RUN mode, the measured value can be reset to 0 at any timing during measurement. Example 1: Using the height of sensing object registered as the reference value and the tolerance output as the measured value

Class 2 lasers are divided into two subclasses, 2 and 2a. A Class 2 laser emits in the visible portion of the spectrum (0. 4 to 0. 7 µm) and eye protection is normally afforded Limits applicable to products that have emis- by the aversion response including the blink reflex. sions in the visible spectrum (400 to 710 nm) for emission durations in excess of 0. 25 second, providing that emissions for other durations and/or wavelengths do not exceed the Class I limits.
