■ CONNECTIONS
Note: 1. Terminal 7 (internal circuit 0 V) can be grounded by
grounding the sensor because this terminal is
connected to the metal case of the sensor. The
following terminals are insulated from one another:
sensor input terminals 7 and 8; transistor output
terminals 10 and 11; power supply terminals 1, 2
and 3; and relay output terminals 4, 5 and 6.

2. The sensor cable can be shortened or connected to

another cable, as long as the total length of the
cable is 1.5 to 10 m. Use the following cables for
extensions:
F2LP-W10M, -W20M: Electrostatic capacity
97 nF/km; characteristic impedance 50 ±2Ω.
F2LP-W50M, -W75M, -W100M: Electrostatic
capacity 100 nF/km; characteristic impedance
50 ±2Ω.

Precautions
■ EFFECTS OF SURROUNDING METALS
To prevent the sensor from being effected by any metal Part number Distance l Distance m
objects around it, keep metal objects away from the sensor by
at least the distances indicated in the drawing and table. F2LP-W10M 100 mm (3.94 in) 100 mm (3.94 in)

If a metal object is close to a sensor coil, the sensor mounted

on a metal base may malfunction. Keep metal away from the
coil by at least the distance indicated.

Note: To mount the F2LP-W75M on a flange, open a hole of at

least 112 mm (4.41 in) diameter minimum.

F2LP-W50M F2LP-W100M

Note: To mount the F2LP-W75M on a flange, open a hole of at

least 150 mm (5.91 in) diameter minimum.
■ MUTUAL INTERFERENCE
To prevent mutual interference between two sensors, be sure
Part number Facing (l 1) Parallel (l 2)
to ground the ground terminals of the sensors and separate
the sensors at a distance greater than that shown in the table. F2LP-W10M 500 mm (19.69 in) 500 mm (19.69 in)

■ ADDITIONAL
Unit: mm (inch)
Do not use the sensor immediately after power is turned on.
The sensor needs an interval of 1 to 2 seconds after power is
on to function normally and sense objects.
To maintain noise resistance when connecting a sensor cable
to the Amplifier Unit terminals, always use a cable with a
conductor thickness of no more than 10 mm.
