(1) Power (PWR) Indicator
The green PWR indicator is lit when power is applied to the
sensor.
(2) Alarm (ALM) Indicator
The red ALM indicator is lit if no object is sensed. An object may
be present, but if the reflected light is not sufficient to produce an
output from the detector, the red ALM indicator will remain on.
When the ALM indicator is lit, make necessary adjustments so
that the indicator turns OFF.
Appropriate amount of light: Not lit
Insufficient amount of light: Lit in red

(3) Stability (STB) Indicator
The green STB indicator is lit when the sensor is receiving
sufficient light to process. If the indicator is not lit, adjust the
amount of light to turn on the indicator.
(4) Operation (OPE) Indicator
The sensor is synchronized with the ON/OFF output and the
orange OPE indicator is lit when the sensor has ON output.
(5) Distance Adjuster
The ON/OFF position can be set with the distance adjuster if a
sensing object is at the sensing range (4¦1.25 mm). The
ON/OFF position will shift farther from the sensor if the distance
adjuster is turned clockwise, and the ON/OFF position will shift
closer to the sensor if the distance adjuster is turned
counterclockwise.

JCORRECT USE
Mounting
Install the sensor so that the optical axis of the sensor and the
surface of the sensed object meet at right angles (i.e., the panel
that incorporates the light source is parallel with the object). For
accurate results, it is recommended that the sensing distance is
set to the measurement point (4 mm).
Light source surface
Sensing object surface
Note: As the optical axis will be adjusted later, temporarily fix the
sensor.
Wiring
Connect the sensor to the controlling device using an attached
sensor cable. DO NOT SWITCH THE POWER ON DURING
WIRING. Refer to the instructions on the sensor and the
connection diagram before connecting the sensor to the
controlling device.
Axis Adjustment
When the sensor power is switched ON, the red transmitter
indicator is lit. Move the sensor so that the red beam (see the
figure below) focuses on the object. The entire light beam should
be focused on the object or an error will result.
After the optical axis has been adjusted, tighten the mounting
screws firmly.

Z4D-F04A
Analog Output
The Z4D-04A has an output of 3 V if a sensing object is located
at the standard distance (i.e., 4¦0.3 mm). The output decreases
if the sensing object is closer to the sensor and the output
increases if the sensing object is farther from the sensor. The
output changes by 1.6 V¦10% if the sensing object moves by 1
mm. The standard upper and lower limits of the output are 6.5
and 0 V respectively. If there is no sensing object or the
reflectivity of the sensing object is low, the resulting analog output
will be the standard upper limit.

ON/OFF Output Diagram
The ON/OFF position can be set with the distance adjuster if a
sensing object is at the sensing range (i.e., 4¦1.25 mm). The
ON/OFF position will shift farther from the sensor if the distance
adjuster is turned clockwise, and the ON/OFF position will shift
closer to the sensor if the distance adjuster is turned
counterclockwise.
If no sensing object is present or if the reflectivity from a sensing
object is too small to reach the sensor, the output will turn OFF.

Precautions
Install the sensor in a clean environment. Keep the filter (on the
front of the sensor) free from oil and dust. If affected by oil or
dust, clean the sensor as follows:
1. Use a blower brush (used to clean camera lenses) to blow
large dust particles from the surface. Do not blow the dust
away with your mouth.
2. Use a soft cloth (for lenses) with a little alcohol to remove the
remaining dust. Do not use a scrubbing action when clean-
ing. A scratch on the filter could result in the sensor malfunc-
tioning.
JCONNECTOR
When removing the connector from the sensor, be sure to hold
the connector and pull it along with the attached cable.
If pressure is applied to the cable alone, it will damage the lock
mechanism inside the connector.
JINTERFERENCE
Z4D-F04A/D microdisplacement sensors can be installed within
close proximity to each other and operate independently without
interference (refer to the figures below). However, if they are
installed at an oblique angle to each other, interference may
result.
When using the microdisplacement sensor in combination with
another type of sensor (such as a photoelectric sensor), the
sensor beams should be as close to perpendicular as possible.
JENVIRONMENT
Refrain from using the microdisplacement sensor in a strong
electromagnetic field or in an environment where the operation of
the sensor is subject to the reflection of intensive light (such as a
laser beam or an electric arc welding machine).
The microdisplacement sensor cannot accurately sense a
mirror-like object, a transparent object, one with an extremely
small reflection ratio, an object smaller than the diameter of the
sensor’s sensing spot, or an inclined object.
JWIRING
The power supply cable for the Z 4D-F04A/D should not be wired
with high-voltage lines or power lines in order to avoid
interference, damage, or malfunction.
Do not solder wires to the sensor connector, or the sensor may
malfunction.
JOTHERS
Do not use switching power supplies that generate excessive
noise, which may cause sensing errors.
The following LC filter effectively reduces noise.
Sensor Power
source
The sensor cannot sense an object accurately if the surface of
the object consists of different materials placed next to each
other (refer to the figures below). In such a case install the
sensor so that the boundaries of the materials and the sensor are
parallel.
