Cautions For 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.

Case grounding method and insulation mounting bracket

  • The MQ-W series has an internal circuit that is completely insulated from the enclosure (floating method).

Case grounding method and insulation mounting bracket

  • An exclusive insulation mounting bracket is available in order to improve the anti-noise quality in case there are devices that produce high-frequency noise close to the sensor and the place where the sensor is mounted is an electric conductor (such as metal). Please contact our office for details.

Case grounding method and insulation mounting bracket

Note: Attached with the exclusive insulating board.

  • Performing direct-grounding between the enclosure and circuit 0 V will improve the anti-noise quality.
  • Contact our office if you would like to special-order the direct-grounding type that has the enclosure and circuit 0 V connected beforehand.

Direct-grounding

Others

  • Do not use during the initial transient time (50 ms) after the power supply is switched on.
