■Notes
●Circuit design
In circuit designing, make allowance for the degradation of the light emitting diode output that results from long
continuous operation. (50% degradation/5 years)
●Position of opaque board
Opaque board shall be installed at place 4mm or more from the top of elements.
(Example)

4mm or more

In case opaque board is the material with an low light blocking effect, There is a possibility of malfunctioning
because the light of LED transmits the opaque board. When you design the opaque board, please note transmittance
of infrared rays wave length (940nm) and the thickness of the opaque board.
And, please adjust the amount of transmitted light to 0.1% or less.
●Cleaning
Please don't carry out immersion cleaning or ultrasonic cleaning to avoid keeping solvent inside case of this device.
●Washing material
Dust and stain shall clean by air blow, or shall clean by soft cloth soaked in washing materials.
And washing material to clean shall be used the below materials only.
Ethyl alcohol, Methyl alcohol, Isopropyl alcohol
●Connector connection
For the electrical connection to the connector terminal, please certainly use the connector specified in this
specifications.
Please avoid the connection by the soldering or welding which may damage the main body of the device,
and also avoid the contact by the clip and so on which may cause the malfunction by the contact failure.
Please avoid the use condition that t it always occurs he vibration in the spot where the connector fits in
by the resonance of the sensor and the harness.
It may cause the malfunction of the contact failure.
●Put-in and pull-out of connector
The connection other than to the correct connection direction, forcing-into, and the pulling-out diagonally
(if being not put-in and pulled-out straight) may deform or break the connector terminal and/or housing,
which may cause the unusable state of the device.

■Recommended Installation Hole drawing Scale : 2/1 Unit : 1/1mm

(Drawing No. CY14033i06)

*1 We recommend to fix GP1S173LCS2F at punching side on the fixing plate (metal plate).
*2 Please decide the final dimensions at your side after confirmation by the actual
applications, Because mounting efficiency and mounted stabilization are dependent
on mounting plate corner-R and punched state.
*3 Tolerance shall be ±0.1mm
*4 Please don’t hold connector area but sensor area when fitting in or putting out on the metal plate.
