2 Safety Precautions
This section describes the items that must be observed for safe use of this product.

2.1 Warning level
The following symbols indicate the potential hazardous situation that may occur if you do not follow the instructions
and you use the product incorrectly.
Warning

Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoid, may result in death or serious injury.
CautionCaution indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoid, may result in injury or property damage.

2.2 Safety precautions
In this manual, the following symbols are used in addition to “Warning” and “Caution”.
: This symbol indicates “prohibited” content that must not be done.
: This symbol indicates “instructions” that must be executed.

Warning
Be sure to observe the followings before installing this product. Otherwise, there is a risk of serious danger tohuman life,body and property.
This product is a contact/impact detection switch for detecting contact and collision by the machine where thisproduct is installed. Incorrect installation or usage may result in loss of function or inability to detect contact
or collision with the machine being installed. In addition, depending on the machine installed, the damage
situation of the assumed accident will change.
Before using this product, be sure to check carefully all the instruction manuals and specifications of theequipment to which this product is connected (product specifications, safety precautions, usage precautions,warnings, indications of Warning and Caution.)
We are striving to improve quality and reliability. If you use this product for an application that may cause
serious danger to human life, body or property in the event of breakdown or damage, be sure to check thefollowing points on your own:
• “Foolproof design” and “Failsafe design” using other safety sensors are implemented.
• This product is properly wired and installed for the intended use.
Consider the velocity and weight of the object to be detected, decide on the use of this product, and design thesystem. Depending on the specifications of the product used, an accident due to damage to the product may
occur.
Turn off the power to the machine where this product is installed before wiring. Do not touch the wiring while
the power is on. There is a risk of electric shock and accidents due to malfunctions of connected devices.
The core of the VVC lead wire is an AWG24 robot cable, so be careful when wiring. A disconnection may cause
an accident due to loss of function or malfunction.
Be sure to observe the following while using this product. They may cause damage or deterioration of the
product, and cause accidents due to loss of function or malfunction:• Never use the edge switch in freezing temperatures.
• Never use the edge switch with a load that exceeds the rated value range. Usage under such a condition
causes insulation failure, contact welding, and contact failure. If the voltage or current is smaller than the
rated value, the contact resistance may increase due to the influence of the oxide film formed on the contact,
resulting in contact failure.
• Do not apply heavy loads to this product for a long time. The switch mechanism may be deformed.
• Do not allow organic solvents or oils such as thinner or gasoline to adhere to this product. Deterioration ordeformation of parts occurs due to adhesion of solvent.

Splash, water and dust resistance are not permanent conditions and resistance might decrease as a resultof normal wear. Do not use the product outdoors, in an environment where it may be splashed with water, or
under high humidity conditions. Doing so may impair the specified performance or cause malfunction.
Stop using the product in the following cases. Damage or deformation of the product may cause loss offunctions or accidents due to malfunctions:• When the product is modified such as drilling• If the appearance shows scratches or dents• When strong impact is given to the product by dropping or collision
The packing box has been created for transport purposes. On arrival of the product, open the box immediately
and place the product flat. If the product is stored in the packing box, damage or deformation of the productmay cause loss of functions or accidents due to malfunctions.
Use a dedicated channel to install this product. If you fix this product by any other method, damage ordeformation of the product may cause loss of functions or accidents due to malfunctions. The product life will
also be shortened.

Caution
Do not place the wiring of this product in parallel with the power lines or power source line of motors and coils.
Surge and noise components on power lines or power source line of motors and coils may jump to the wiringand cause an accident due to malfunction of the connected controller.
Before installation, confirm the following points to prevent accidents due to damage or malfunction of the
product:• Keep large working area.
• Install this product on a flat surface. If it is installed on a surface with distortion, this product may be damaged
or malfunction due to misalignment may occur.
• Fix the screws, bolts and nuts with the specified tightening torque. A tightening torque other than thatspecified may cause damage to this product due to misalignment or malfunction.

2.3 Storage and transport
2.3.1 Storage

8 Inspection
Test this product regularly according to usage conditions.
If you feel there are any abnormalities in use, stop using it immediately and disconnect the edge switch.
Test work should be carried out by suitably trained and qualified personnel.

* Check whether there is bolt looseness, loss of end cap or deep blemish or deformation on the product and lead wire.
* As a basic function test, practice operation check by pushing sensing part of the product.
If the switch does not operate correctly, practice the following stand-alone operation test.

How to practice Stand-alone operation test
Necessary tool: Continuity tester (If it cannot be prepared, circuit tester or multi-meter can be substituting
tool.)
If lead wires of the product are connected with a machine, detach all lead wires from the machine. Then
execute the following three tests.
Step 1: Confirming whether all lead wires keep electric conduction normally.
* Connect a tester between the pink lead wires (in case of VFF: red and black lead wires), and confirm that
there is no wire breaking.
* Same as described the above, confirm that there is no wire breaking between sky blue lead wires (in caseof VFF: green and white lead wires).
If there was no problem in execution of Step 1, proceed to Step 2.
Step 2: Confirming that there is no short circuit.
* Connect a tester between pink and sky blue lead wires (in case of VFF: red and green lead wires or black
and white lead wires), and confirm that there is no short circuit.
If there was no problem in execution of Step 2, proceed to Step 3.
Step 3: Confirming whether switch function performs correctly.
* Stay connection lead wires from Step 2, confirm switch function by pushing sensing part of the product.
* The correct status before pushing is open. Becoming conduction by pushing is correct behavior.
If any problem was found in Step 1 to Step 3, stop usage of the product immediately.
