PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
• Never use this product as a sensing device
for personnel protection.
• In case of using sensing devices for
personnel protection, use products which
meet laws and standards, such as OSHA,
ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection
applicable in each region or country.
Mounting
• The tightening torque should be as given below.
Mounting with set screw
<Shielded of threaded type>
• Tighten the set screw on the flat surface of the sensor
without applying excessive force. Make sure to use a set
screw with a cup-point end.

Note: The protrusion should be kept C (mm in) or
more to avoid reduction of sensing range.
• To fasten GX-3S□ and GX-4S□, use a M3 or less set
screw and tighten it from a direction perpendicular to the
operation indicator.

• The root truncation of the threads with GX-8M□ and 
GX-8ML□ is shallow owing to strengthening of the
sensors against tightening.
When tapping holes on equipment to fix the sensors, the
prepared holes must be ø7.2 mm ø0.283 in or more.
