Thank you for selecting an OMRON product. This sheet
primarily describes precautions
required in installing and operating the product.
• A specialist who has the knowledge of electricity must treat
the product.
• Please read this manual carefully, and use it correctly after
thoroughly understanding the product.
• Please keep this manual properly for future reference
whenever it is necessary.
CAUTION
The following precautions must be observed to ensure safe operation of the Sensor.
• Do not use the Sensor in environments subject to flammable or explosive gases.
• Do not use the Sensor in environments subject to exposure to water, oil, chemicals, etc.
• Do not install the Sensor in environments subject to intense electric field or ferromagnetic field.
• Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the Sensor Unit in any way.
• Do not apply voltages or currents that exceed the rated ranges.
• Do not use the Sensor in any atmosphere or environment that exceeds the ratings.
• Do not miswire such as the polarity of the power supply.
• Connect the load correctly.
• Do not short both ends of the load.
• Do not use the Sensor if the case is damaged.
• When disposing of the Sensor,treat it as industrial waste.
• Burn injury may occur. The Sensor surface temperature rises depending on application conditions, such as the
ambient temperature and the power supply voltage. Use caution when operating or cleaning the Sensor.
• High-Voltage lines and power lines must be wired separately from this product. Wiring them together or placing
them in the same duct may cause induction, resulting in malfunction or damage.
• When setting the Sensor, be sure to check safety such as by stopping the equipment.
2-2.4 dia.
• Do not install the Sensor in the following locations.
(1) Locations subject to direct sunlight
(2) Locations subject to condensation due to high humidity
(3) Locations subject to corrosive gas
(4) Locations subject to vibration or mechanical shocks exceeding the rated values
• Use an extension cable with a minimum thickness of 0.3 mm2 and less than 100 m long.
• Do not apply the forces on the cord exceeding the following limits:
Pull: 40N; torque: 0.1N·m; pressure: 20N; bending: 3 kg
• The Sensor is ready to operate 200 ms after the power supply is turned ON. If the Sensor and load are
connected to power supplies separately, turn ON the power supply to the Sensor first.
• When using a connector type product, place a protective label (provided with the E3X-CN series
connectors) on the power supply connecting terminals that are not used, to prevent electric shock or short
circuit.
• Output pulses may occur when the power supply is turned OFF. Turn OFF the power supply to the load
or load line first.
• Excessive incident light cannot be sufficiently handled by the mutual interference prevention function
and may cause malfunction. To prevent this, set a higher threshold level.
• Make sure that the power supply is turned OFF before connecting, separating or adding Amplifier Units.
• Do not pull or apply excessive pressure or force (exceeding 9.8N) on the Fiber Unit when it is mounted
on the Amplifier Unit.
• The E3X-MC11-SV2 and E3X-MC11-S Mobile Consoles cannot be used.
• Mutual interference prevention does not function among the E3X-DA-N/SD/NA amplifiers. It functions
among E3X-DA-S/MDA models.
• The E3X-DRT21-S, E3X-CRT and E3X-ECT Communication Units cannot be used.
• Always keep the protective cover in place when using the Amplifier Unit.
• Dor not use thinner, benzine, acetone, and lamp oil for cleaning.
