1. Introduction
This manual contains information and operation instructions required to use the
MU-N Series in combination with an LR-T Series sensor.
There are cases where the response time is slower compared to stand-alone
usage of the LR-T Series, but there is no difference in the detection capability.
* For details about other sensors that can be used with the MU-N Series, please
consult a local KEYENCE office.

1-1 Safety Precautions

• This product is only intended to detect objects. Do not use this product
for the purpose of protecting a human body or a part of the human body.
• This product is not intended for use as an explosion-proof product. Do
WARNING not use this product in a hazardous location and/or potentially explosive
