1. At average count of 4,096 times

2. At average count of 64 times

3. When using the ZX-TDA11/41 with the SmartMonitor, either the ZX-SFW11EV3 or the
ZX-SW11EV3 SmartMonitor must be used. Earlier versions cannot be used.

4. The ZX-SFW11EV3 SmartMonitor can be used only to set functions and monitor waveforms.

5. Beam diameter: This is the value of the measurement center distance (actual value), and is defined at 1/e2 (13.5%) of the central light intensity. If there is stray light outside, the defined area and the area around the object has a higher reflectance than the object.

6. Resolution: Indicates the amount of fluctuation (±3 δ) in the linear output when connected to the ZX-LDA. (The measured value when the average count of the ZX-LDA is set to 4,096 and our standard object (white ceramic) is used for the central distance.) This indicates the repeatability precision when the work is in a static state, and does indicate the distance precision. The resolution performance may not be satisfactory in a strong electromagnetic field.

7. Linearity: This indicates the error with respect to the ideal straight line of the displacement output when measuring our standard object.

8. Temperature characteristic: The temperature characteristic is measured at the measurement point with the sensor and reference object (Omron’s standard reference object) secured with an aluminum jig.

9. The amount of fluctuation (±3 δ) of the linear output when connected to an amplifier unit, converted to a detection span.

10. When the average count is 64. 5 µm when the count is 32. The value when the smallest detection object shades the vicinity of the center of the 1 mm dia. detection span.

11. When the average count is 64. 5 µm when the count is 32.

12. For an average count of 64. The value is 15 µm for an average count of 32.

13. The response speed of the linear output is calculated as the measurement period x (average count setting + 1) (with fixed sensitivity).
The response speed of the judgement outputs is calculated as the measurement period x (average count setting + 1) (with fixed sensitivity).

14. The output can be switched between a current output and voltage output using a switch on the bottom of the amplifier unit.

15. Setting is possible via the monitor focus function.

16. A calculating unit (ZX-CAL2) is required.
