*2. When teaching with/without a workpiece, the best sensing method will be automatically selected (RGB ratio (C Mode) or light intensity determination (I Mode)). If color differences are not strong enough and RGB ratios would result in unstable detection, then light intensity determination (I Mode) will be selected.

*4. Mutual interference prevention cannot be used in super-high-speed mode, and light intensity determination (I Mode) must be used. The response time will be 150 s if an AND or OR is set for the control outputs. *5. With light intensity determination (I Mode), the correlation is not displayed, but rather the light intensity is displayed. *6.

Designing Operation after Turning Power ON The Sensor is ready to detect within 200 ms after the power supply is turned ON. If the Sensor and load are connected to separate power supplies, be sure to turn ON the Sensor first. Time may be required for the incident level to stabilize after the power supply is turned ON. Operation When Turning Power OFF Output pulses may occur when the power is turned OFF. Turn OFF the power supply to the load and the load line before turning OFF the power supply to the Sensor. Mounting Connecting and Disconnecting Connectors Mounting Connectors 1. Insert the Master or Slave Connector into the Amplifier until it clicks into place.

2. Slide the Amplifiers together, line up the clips, and press the Amplifiers together until they click into place.

Click into place

Removing Amplifiers Slide Amplifiers away from each other, and remove from the DIN track one at a time. (Do not attempt to remove Amplifiers from the DIN track without separating them first.)
Note 1. The specifications for ambient temperature will vary according to the number of Amplifier used together. For details, refer to Ratings and Specifications on page 3. 2. Always turn OFF the power supply before joining or separating Amplifiers.

Adjusting Mutual Interference Protection Function Light from other sensors can cause the value on the digital display to become somewhat unstable. If this occurs, reduce the threshold to create a greater margin and enable more stable detection. Shorting an Output If the output short-circuit function operates because the load connected to a control output is short-circuited, OVER/CUR will flash on the display. Check the connection of the load.

General Precautions
For precautions on individual products, refer to Safety Precautions in individual product information.

WARNING
These Sensors cannot be used in safety devices for presses or other safety devices used to protect human life. These Sensors are designed for use in applications for sensing workpieces and workers that do not affect safety.

Precautions for Safe Use


To ensure safety, always observe the following precautions.

Wiring
Item Typical examples

Power Supply Voltage


Do not use a voltage in excess of the operating voltage range. Applying a voltage in excess of the operating voltage range, or applying AC power (100 VAC or greater) to a DC Sensor may cause explosion or burning.

Photoelectric Sensors Technical Guide


Precautions for Correct Use
Design Power Reset Time
The Sensor will be ready to detect within approximately 100 ms after the power is turned ON. If the Sensor and the load are connected to separate power supplies, turn ON the Sensor power before turning ON the load power. Any exceptions to this rule are indicated in Safety Precautions in individual product information.

Turning OFF Power


An output pulse may be generated when the power is turned OFF. It is recommended that the load or load line power be turned OFF before the Sensor power is turned OFF.

Power Supply Types


An unsmoothed full-wave or half-wave rectifying power supply cannot be used.

Mutual Interference
Mutual interference is a state where an output is unstable because the Sensors are affected by light from the adjacent Sensors. The following measures can be taken to avoid mutual interference. Countermeasure Concept Use a Sensor with the interference prevention function. Through-beam Sensors Reflective Sensors

If Sensors are mounted in close proximity, use Sensors with the interference prevention function. 10 or fewer Sensors: E3X-DA@-S, E3X-MDA, E3C-LDA Fiber Sensors Performance, however, will depend on conditions. Refer to pages E3X-DA-S/E3X-MDA and E3C-LDA. 5 or fewer Sensors: E3X-NA Fiber Sensors 2 or fewer Sensors: E3T, E3Z, E3ZM, E3ZM-C, E3S-C, E3G-L1/L3, or E3S-C Built-in Amplifier Photoelectric Sensors (except Through-beam Sensors) E3C Photoelectric Sensor with separate amplifier A mutual interference prevention polarizing filter can be installed on only the E3Z-TA to allow close-proximity mounting of up to 2 Sensors. Mutual Interference Prevention Polarizing Filter: E39-E11 Check the parallel movement distance range in the catalog, verify the set distance between adjacent Sensors, and install the Sensors accordingly at a distance at least 1.5 times the parallel movement distance range. --If the workpieces move from far to near, chattering may occur in the vicinity of the operating point. For this type of application, separate the Sensors by at least 1.5 times the operating range.
1.5 L Workpiece Workpiece L Sensor

Install an inference prevention filter. Separate Sensors to distance where interference does not occur.

Sensor

Alternate Emitters and Receivers.

Close mounting of Sensors is possible by alternating the Emitters with the Receivers in a zigzag fashion (up to two Sensors). However, if the workpieces are close to the Photoelectric Sensors, light from the adjacent Emitter may be received and cause the Sensor to change to the incident light state.
Emitter

4
Workpiece Receiver Receiver

---

Emitter

Offset the optical axes.

If there is a possibility that light from another Sensor may enter the Receiver, change the position of the Emitter and Receiver, place a light barrier between the Sensors, or take other measures to prevent the light from entering the Receiver. (Light may enter even if the Sensors are separated by more than the sensing distance.)

If Sensors are mounted in opposite each other, slant the Sensors as shown in the following diagram. (This is because the Sensors may affect each other and cause output chattering even if separated by more than the Sensor sensing distance.)
Sensor Sensor

Adjust the sensitivity.

Lowering the sensitivity will generally help.

Wiring Cable
Unless otherwise indicated, the maximum length of cable extension is 100 m using wire that is 0.3 mm2 or greater. Exceptions are indicated in Safety Precautions in individual product information.

Separation from High Voltage (Wiring Method)


Do not lay the cables for the Sensor together with high-voltage lines or power lines. Placing them in the same conduit or duct may cause damage or malfunction due to induction interference. As a general rule, wire the Sensor in a separate system, use an independent metal conduit, or use shielded cable.

Cable Tensile Strength


When wiring the cable, do not subject the cable to a tension greater than that indicated in the following table. Cable diameter Less than 4 mm 4 mm or greater Tensile strength 30 N max. 50 N max.
Power line

Work Required for Unconnected Leads


Unused leads for self-diagnosis outputs or other special functions should be cut and wrapped with insulating tape to prevent contact with other terminals.

Note: Do not subject a shielded cable or coaxial cable to tension.

Repeated Bending
Normally, the Sensor cable should not be bent repeatedly. (For bending-resistant cable, see Attachment to Moving Parts on page C-4.)

Photoelectric Sensors Technical Guide


Power Supply
When using a commercially available switching regulator, ground the FG (frame ground) and G (ground) terminals. If not grounded, switching noise in the power supply may cause malfunction.

Mounting Attachment to Moving Parts


To mount the Photoelectric Sensor to a moving part, such as a robot hand, consider using a Sensors that uses a bending-resistant cable (robot cable). Although the bending repetition tolerance of a standard cable is approximately 13,000 times, robot cable has an excellent bending tolerance of approximately 500,000 times.

Example of Connection with S3D2 Sensor Controller DC Three-wire NPN Output Sensors
Reverse operation is possible using the signal input switch on the S3D2.

Photoelectric Sensors Technical Guide


Operating Environment Water Resistance
Do not use in water, in rain, or outside.

Maintenance and Inspection Points to Check When the Sensor Does Not Operate
If the Sensor does not operate, check the following points. (1) Are the wiring and connections correct? (2) Are any of the mounting screws loose? (3) Are the optical axis and sensitivity adjusted correctly? (4) Do the sensing object and the workpiece speed satisfy the ratings and specifications? (5) Are any foreign objects, such as debris or dust, adhering to the Emitter lens or Receiver lens? (6) Is strong light, such as sunlight (e.g., reflected from a wall), shining on the Receiver? (7) Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the Sensor under any circumstances. (8) If you determine that the Sensor clearly has a failure, immediately turn OFF the power supply.

Ambient Conditions
Do not use this Sensor in the following locations. Otherwise, it may malfunction or fail. (1) Locations exposed to excessive dust and dirt (2) Locations exposed to direct sunlight (3) Locations with corrosive gas vapors (4) Locations where organic solvents may splash onto the Sensor (5) Locations subject to vibration or shock (6) Locations where there is a possibility of direct contact with water, oil, or chemicals (7) Locations with high humidity and where condensation may result

Environmentally Resistive Sensors


The E32-T11F/T12F/T14F/T81F-S/D12F/D82F and E3HQ can be used in locations (3) and (6) above.

Lens and Case


The lens and case of the Photoelectric Sensor are primarily made of plastic. Dirt should be gently wiped off with a dry cloth. Do not use thinner or other organic solvents. The case of the E3ZM, E3ZM-C and E3S-C is metal. The lens, however, is plastic.

Optical Fiber Photoelectric Sensors in Explosive Gas Atmospheres


The Fiber Unit can be installed in the hazardous area, and the Amplifier Unit can be installed in a non-hazardous area.

<Reason>
For explosion or fire due to electrical equipment to occur, both the hazardous atmosphere and a source of ignition must be in the same location. Optical energy does not act as an ignition source, thus there is no danger of explosion or fire. The lens, case, and fiber covering are made of plastic, so this setup cannot be used if there is a possibility of contact with solvents that will corrode or degrade (e.g., cloud) the plastic.

Accessories Using a Reflector (E39-R3/R37/RS1/RS2/RS3) During Application


(1) When using adhesive tape on the rear face, apply it after washing away oil and dust with detergent. The Reflector cannot be mounted if there is any oil or dirt remaining. (2) Do not press on the E39-RS1/RS2/RS3 with metal or a fingernail.This may weaken performance. (3) This Sensor cannot be used in locations where oil or chemicals may splash on the Sensor.

<Ignition Source>
Electrical sparks or high-temperature parts that have sufficient energy to cause explosion in a hazardous atmosphere are called ignition sources.

M8 and M12 Connectors


Be sure to connect or disconnect the connector after turning OFF the Sensor. Hold the connector cover to connect or disconnect the connector. Secure the connector cover by hand. Do not use pliers, otherwise the connector may be damaged. If the connector is not connected securely, the connector may be disconnected by vibration or the proper degree of protection of the Sensor may not be maintained.

Hazardous area

Non-hazardous area

Fiber Unit Amplifier Unit Sensing object

Others Influence from External Electrical Fields


Do not bring a transceiver near the Photoelectric Sensor or its wiring, because this may cause incorrect operation.

Values Given in Typical Examples


The data and values given as typical examples are not ratings and performance and do not indicate specified performance. They are rather values from samples taken from production lots, and are provided for reference as guidelines. Typical examples include the minimum sensing object, engineering data, step (height) detection data, and selection list for specifications.

Cleaning
Keep organic solvents away from the Sensor. Organic solvents will dissolve the surface. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the Sensor.
