Before use, check that the fixed ring is not loose.● Firmly tighten the fixed ring by rotating it. Fixed ringMounting direction● When performing measurements of moving objects with excessivelydifferent materials and colors, mount the product in the following direc-tions to minimize measurement errors.● When performing measurements of rotating objects, mount the prod-uct as follows. The effect of up/down deflection and position deviationcan be minimized by mounting the sensor in the correct direction.HG-C1000L Series
