PANASONIC LS-H22 (01) PDF Document

Never use the PANASONIC LS-H22 as a sensing device for personnel protection. In case of using sensing devices for personnel protection, use products which meet standards, such as OSHA, ANSI or IEC for personnel protection applicable in each region or country. Do not view the direct beam by the unprotected eye or with an optical instrument, as lasers are potentially hazardous. Use of control or adjustment or performance of procedures other than those specified in this instruction may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

The PANASONIC LS-H22 is classified as a Class 2 laser product according to IEC 60825-1-2014 and JIS C 6802-2014.

The emitting element of the PANASONIC LS-H22 is a red semiconductor laser, Class 2 (IEC/JIS/GB/KS standard), with a maximum output of 3mW or less and a peak emission wavelength of 655nm.

The operating ambient temperature for the PANASONIC LS-H22 is -10 to +55 degrees Celsius, with no dew condensation or icing allowed. The storage temperature range is -20 to +70 degrees Celsius. The operating and storage ambient humidity is 35 to 85 percent RH.

The enclosure of the PANASONIC LS-H22 is made of PBT, with an attachment made of PEI and a lens cover made of acrylic.

The PANASONIC LS-H22 uses a 0.1mm squared cable that is shielded and 2 meters long.

The sensing range for the PANASONIC LS-H22 (long sensing range line reflective type) is as follows: H-SP mode is 30 to 300mm; FAST mode is 30 to 300mm; STD mode is 30 to 500mm; U-LG mode is 30 to 1,000mm.

The PANASONIC LS-H22 has an approximate weight of 30 grams.

The PANASONIC LS-H22 must be used with an optional exclusive amplifier from the LS-400 series. Using a different amplifier may cause the specifications to not be met, and may cause malfunction or breakdown.

If noise generating equipment, such as a switching regulator or an inverter motor, is used in the vicinity of the PANASONIC LS-H22, connect the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an actual ground. Similarly, if power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure the F.G. terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual ground.

No, the sensor head cable of the PANASONIC LS-H22 cannot be extended.

Do not allow water, oil, fingerprints, or other substances that might refract light, or dust, dirt, or other substances that might block light, to stick to the emitting or receiving surfaces of the PANASONIC LS-H22. If they are present, wipe them off with a clean, soft cloth or lens paper.

Do not use the PANASONIC LS-H22 in vaporous, dusty, or corrosive gas atmospheres. Ensure the power is off while cleaning the emitting or receiving windows of the sensor head.

The tightening torque for mounting the PANASONIC LS-H22 should be 0.5N･m or less.

The PANASONIC LS-H22 incorporates a spot-size adjuster. Turn the spot-size adjuster clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the spot diameter to your desired detecting distance. Note that if the adjuster is over turned, it may be damaged.

To remove the lens attachment (LS-MR1) from the PANASONIC LS-H22, insert a screwdriver into the fixing slot located at the top of the sensor. Tilt the screwdriver inserted in the slot to remove the lens attachment.

The size of the upper fixing hook of the LS-MR1 is not the same as the lower fixing hook. After confirming the upper and lower fixing hooks, insert the LS-MR1 upper fixing hook into the fixing slot at the top of the PANASONIC LS-H22 sensor and then insert the LS-MR1 lower fixing hook into the fixing slot at the bottom of the sensor. After mounting, check that the LS-MR1 is properly fixed.

The cable of the PANASONIC LS-H22 can be shortened to your desired length. Use a flat-head screwdriver (blade width 2mm or less) to push the operating lever (white) located at the wire inlet to remove the wire. After shortening, re-wire according to the connection procedure.

First, process the core length to 7 to 8 mm as indicated by the strip gauge on the side of the unit, and twist the core several times. When using shielded wires, twist the wire until the diameter is 1.2 mm or less. Use a flat-head screwdriver (2mm or less) to push the operating lever (white) located at the operating area until it is locked. Insert the wire into the innermost part of the wire inlet, ensuring the shielded wire is properly inserted and the core end has passed through the wire connection area. Place the head of a flat-head screwdriver underneath the operating lever through the releasing slot and lift the screwdriver head. If you hear a snap, the operating lever is returned and the wire is fixed. Lightly pull the wire to ensure it is not loose and check that shielded wires do not contact each other.

The terminal connections for the PANASONIC LS-H22 are as follows:

Terminal 1: Conductive core, Brown

Terminal 2: Shielded wire, Gray

Terminal number 3 of the PANASONIC LS-H22 is for the conductive core, which is yellow in color.

The PANASONIC LS-H22 laser emission indicator (green LED) should light up while the laser is being emitted. If it does not, you should check your connections or contact support as described for the PANASONIC LS-H22.

The PANASONIC LS-H22 has been developed and produced for industrial use only, and must be used with the connector joined to the exclusive amplifier.

The PANASONIC LS-H22 is a Class 2 laser product. It uses a visible, low-power beam. Blink response of the eye generally affords protection, but do not view the beam directly.

Make sure that the power is off while wiring the PANASONIC LS-H22 to the amplifier.

Mounting the lens attachment incorrectly on the PANASONIC LS-H22 might cause performance issues or damage to the attachment. Always confirm that the upper and lower fixing hooks are correctly inserted into their respective slots.

Yes, but if the power for the PANASONIC LS-H22 is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual ground.

The operating voltage is handled by the amplifier in the LS-400 series to which the PANASONIC LS-H22 is connected.
