This product is not a safety sensor. Its use is not
intended or designed to protect life and prevent body
injury or property damage from dangerous parts of
machinery. It is a normal object detection sensor.
• The projected LED beam has a directionality. Hence, take
care of emitter and receiver mounting direction.
Beam alignment
•
Make sure that at least one stability indicator lights up when
you supply power to the amplifier connected with sensor
heads. While aligning sensor heads, if more stability
indicators light up, more reliable detection can be obtained.
•Beam alignment should be performed prior to any adjust-
ments on the amplifier.
•
If the bottom face and the side face of the emitter and the
receiver are mounted on the same plane surfaces, or if the
front faces of the emitter and the receiver of LA-305 are kept
parallel and their top face and side face are mounted on the
same plane sufaces, beam alignment need not be done.
•If mounting is not possible on the same plane surfaces,
affix the target label (accessory) on the front surface of the
receiver and adjust so that the emitted beam is incident at
the center of the crosshair. After the alignment, peel off the
target label.
•If either sensor head moves out of position, do the beam
alignment and then the amplifier adjustment also again.
•To obtain optimum beam alignment, use a voltmeter and
adjust the position to obtain the peak analog output signal
from the amplifier.

Lights up when the power is on.
Light up in three stages proportional to the
amount of beam received.
Lights up when HIGH output is ON.
Lights up when LOW output is ON.
Lights up while the external synchronization
input is LOW. (Active-LOW)
Selects between gate trigger ‘ ’ and
edge trigger ‘ ’.
15-turn adjuster sets the span for the ana-
log output voltage.
15-turn adjuster sets the HIGH output
threshold level (Over-dark level).
15-turn adjuster sets the LOW output
threshold level (Under-dark level).
Lights up during emission.
15-turn adjuster sets the offset for the ana-
log output voltage. It calibrates the output
voltage at zero input.

<Mounting on DIN rail>
1
Make sure that the mounting
stopper is latched inside.
Hook the front side of the con-
troller mounting section on the
35mm width DIN rail.
2Snap the controller down on
the 35mm width DIN rail.
mTo remove, insert a ‘minus’
screwdriver into the mounting
stopper and pull out.
Note:
When carring out high accuracy sensing with LA-305, install the mount-
ing bracket on the front face as shown in the above figure.
<Mounting with screws>
•
Use two commercially available
M4 screws.
The tightening torque should be
1.2N䡠m or less.
