Safety Precautions

Installation environment
To use the GT2-70 Series correctly and safely, avoid installing it in the following
locations; doing so may lead to breakdown of the unit.
• Location that is humid, dusty or poorly ventilated
• Location with a high surrounding air temperature such as a place exposed to direct sunlight
• Location where there are flammable or corrosive gases
• Location where the unit may be directly subjected to vibration or shock
• Location where water, oil or chemicals may splash onto the unit
• Location where static electricity is present

Corrective action for electromagnetic noise
Do not install the GT2-70 Series near a power source or high-voltage cable,
otherwise electromagnetic noise may cause the GT2-70 Series to malfunction. Take
corrective action for electromagnetic noise by using noise filters, laying cables
separately, and/or installing insulation on the amplifier and the sensor head.

Effects of surrounding air temperature
To use the GT2-70 Series with high accuracy, do not use the GT2-70 Series
environments in which the surrounding air temperature changes sharply.
It will take about 40 minutes on the 12 mm type, and 60 minutes on the 32 mm/50 mm
type for the internal temperature distribution of the equipment to be completely
adjusted when the surrounding air temperature has changed by 10°C.

Warming up
The circuit is not stable immediately after the power turns ON, which sometimes causes
the indicated value to gradually fluctuate.
Wait about 5 minutes when using the GT2-H12K(L)/A12K(L) and about 10 minutes when
using the GT2-H32(L)/H50/A32/A50 after the power turns on before starting operation.

Handling of the sensor head
• The GT2-70 Series and peripheral devices are precision machines. Do not drop, or
cause any other impact to these devices. Doing so may cause damage or malfunction.
• Do not apply force greater than what is listed below to the spindle. Do not apply
rotational torque. Otherwise the spindle may break.
• Although the sensor head (GT2-H12/H12K/H32/H50/A12/A12K/A32/A50) has a
waterproof structure, avoid using in water or in the place where liquid such as
water and oil may come into contact with the sensor head. (GT2-H12L/H12KL/
H32L/A12L/A12KL is not waterproof.)

Safety Information for GT2-70 Series

GT2-A12(L)/A12K(L)/A32/A50
• The GT2 air push model uses a single-acting cylinder. The internal spring will
return the cylinder to its home position when air pressure is removed. DO NOT
supply air to the exhaust valve.
• The air cylinder cannot be removed.
• Use the regulator to supply the stable air pressure to the sensor head.
• Use the air filter and mist separators to supply dry air.
• The coupling socket and the exhaust valve that are supplied with the air cylinder
are dedicated for this product. They cannot be removed.

Other Precautions
Power supply
• Noise superimposed on the power supply may cause malfunction. Be sure to use
the DC stabilized power supply with an insulation transformer.
• In the case of a commercially available switching regulator, be sure to ground the
frame ground terminal or the ground terminal.

Effects of vibration
Vibrating the target may cause fluctuation in the indicated value. In this case, extend
the response time. This ensures more accurate detection values.

About dust protective boot
When the dust boot of the sensor head is damaged, use the optional dust boot sold
separately (GT2-H12/H12K/A12/A12K: OP-84332, GT2-H32/A32: OP-84459, GT2-H50/
A50: OP-84460)*.
Please note that we cannot guarantee the IP67 enclosure rating when the optional part is
used. If you need a guarantee for the IP67 enclosure rating, replace the sensor head
itself.
* Do not use the dust boot on GT2-H12L/H12KL/H32L/A12L/A12KL.

Safety Information for GT2-70 Series

To maintain an IP67 enclosure rating for GT2-A12/A12K/A32/A50
To maintain an IP67 enclosure rating for GT2-A12/A12K/A32/A50, the following must
be satisfied:
• Firmly connect tubing with φ2.5 mm inner diameter to the exhaust port until it
bottoms out.
Ensure that the tube end is free of dirt or water.

To maintain an IP67 enclosure rating for GT2-A12/A12K/A32/A50, the following must
be satisfied:
• Firmly connect tubing with φ2.5 mm inner diameter to the exhaust port until it
bottoms out.
Ensure that the tube end is free of dirt or water.
Air tube

Exhaust valve

Screw

Origin Alignment

When you use the GT2-70 Series for the first time or when you replace the sensor
head, you must reset the origin.
The tolerance range will be now based on the new origin.
" 3-3 Setting the Tolerances " (page 3-14)
The origin can be adjusted either by the sensor directly or from a remote external
input.
Align the origin by the following methods.
• Adjusting the origin directly from the sensor
• Origin alignment by external input

• You cannot align the origin when the R.V. value display screen is
displayed as " ------ " . (Immediately after the power is turned on, or
immediately after the reset input)
• Aligned origin is written to the internal memory every time, so the
changed origin is saved even after the power is turned off. The origin
alignment can be performed up to about a million times.
• If you frequently perform origin alignment through an external input,
select " OFF " for " 21. Store Preset Value " . If " OFF " is selected, origin
alignment can be set, however it is not written to the internal memory.
(When the power is turned off, it returns to the previously stored origin.)
" 21. Store Preset Value " (page 5-42)

We recommend that you should periodically reset the origin for more
accurate judgment.

Setting the Tolerances

The tolerances of the GT series are comprised of upper and lower limits. Any
measured value that goes beyond the upper or lower limits will activate the HIGH or
LOW outputs respectively. Any measured value that lies between the tolerances will
activate a GO output.

3

These outputs are displayed on both the sensor amplifier as well as the head. A HIGH
or LOW output is displayed as a red indicator light whereas a GO output is a green
light. The output indicator on the head is easily visible so that a user can simply glance
at the sensor and know whether the target is good or defective.

Basic Usage of the GT2-70 Series

The head indicator blinks while the sensor head is being set, so even if multiple devices are
installed side by side, the sensor head currently being set can be recognized at a glance.

Judging with the Current Value

The standard detection mode is used to perform judgment with the current value.
In the standard detection the displayed value (P.V. value) and criterion output are
always updated.
In addition, the displayed value (P.V. value) and criterion output can be held via
timing input.

Holding the Desired Value
When the external timing is input during the standard detection mode, desired timing
data (displayed value, criterion output) currently detected can be held.

Judging after the Detection Value is Stabilized

When you want to perform judgment only after starting judgment for a workpiece and
waiting for fluctuation of the value to end (in other words, when the value is
stabilized), set self-timing in the standard detection mode.
There are two methods to perform judgment after fluctuations end.

is off), the HIGH criterion output is held. Once the criterion output is held, the criterion output no
longer changes along with the changes of the detection value (R.V. value) even during the output
criterion period.
(4) The HIGH criterion is detected during the output criterion period (when the output timing input is off),
so the HIGH criterion output is held even after the output criterion period is finished. The value when
the external timing input starts is held for the displayed value (P.V. value). The displayed value (P.V.
value) is kept held (in this example, value within the GO range) until the external input turns off next
time and the HIGH criterion output is held.
(5) The hold status of the criterion output and displayed value (P.V. value) is canceled when the next
external timing input turns off.

Reference

• Hysteresis refers to the characteristic where the criterion value that
turns on the criterion output and the one that turns off the criterion
output are different.
• If the P.V. value is fluctuating around the tolerances the outputs may
repeatedly turn on and off.
Setting the hysteresis changes the width between the tolerances that
turn the outputs on and off, thus preventing this phenomenon.

When hysteresis is not set (setting is 0)
Setting the hysteresis to 0 causes fluctuations in the P.V. value to directly affect the
criterion output, so it is useful for applications that require strict tolerance measurements.
However, when the detected values fluctuate close to the tolerances, the criterion output
becomes unstable.

The criterion output is unstable when both HIGH and

When hysteresis is set
When the hysteresis is set, the output is stable and does not react excessively to fine
variations in the P.V. value close to the tolerances.
A large hysteresis tends to produce a more stable output, but it also becomes more
difficult to output for GO when the P.V. value varies close to the tolerances.

Jam detection
■ When enabled
When " on " is selected in " 24. Jam detection function " , the points where the spindle is
fully extended or fully compressed are used as checkpoints for the core alarm.
These checkpoints are used to determine whether the spindle is operating correctly.

5

The jam detection function checks whether the spindle returns to its original position
(if it is fully extended or fully compressed) during the non-detection state*1 that
occurs after detection ends and before the next detection begins. An error outputs if
the spindle fails to return to its original position.
The non-detection state is determined by the external timing input. The nondetection state occurs when the external timing input is on. While the external timing
input is on, if the spindle reaches a fully extended (or fully compressed) state even
once*2, this is recognized as normal operation. If the fully extended (or fully
compressed) state is not reached*2, an error is output.

Setting Various Functions

The non-detection state is when the external timing input is on.
The fully compressed state is the position where the HH limit output of the spindle
turns on, and the fully extended state is the position where the LL limit output of the
spindle turns on.
If " USEr " is selected, the jam detection checkpoint can be set at a desired position.

Outputting Current Position Information

This section describes functions of GT2-71D.

Current position notification output function
When the automatic current position request input line (pink wire) is turned off from
on, a pulse is output from the home position to the current mechanical position of the
spindle.
This function can be used when there is a difference between the counter value and
the measurement position, such as cases where the power is turned off during
measurement or other troubles occur.
