■Through-beam Fiber Units
Note 1. Indicates models that allow free cutting. Models without this mark do not allow free cutting.
2. The size of standard sensing object is t he same as the fiber core diameter (lens diameter f or models with lens).
3. The values f or the minimum sensing object are representative v al ues that indicate values obtained in standard mode with the sensing dis-
tance and sensitivity set to optimum values.
Long-distance Fiber Units
*1: The optical fiber is 2 m long on each side, so the sensing distance is 4,000 mm.
*2: The optical fiber for the E32-T17L is 10 m long on each side, so the value is 20,000 mm

Conventional Fiber Flexible Fiber
Conventional fiber uses just one core and
one cladding section. Bending the fiber
may break it or reduce the light intensity.
Flexible fiber contains multiple independent cores
all surrounded by cladding. The fiber can be bent
without breaking or reducing the light intensity.
Core
Cladding
Flexible fiber models are indicated by an
"R" at the end of the model number.
Flexible fiber contains multiple cores.
These cores are all surrounded by cladding,
giving a minimum bending radius of 1 mm.
The fiber can be bent at right angles without
affecting the light intensity. Handle it just like
any other cable.

■Fiber Units with Reflective Sensors
Note 1. Indicates models that allow free cutting. Models without this mark do not allow free cutting.
2. The values f or the minimum sensing object are representative v al ues that indicate values obtained in standard mode with the sensing dis-
tance and sensitivity set to optimum values.
3. When set to the maximum sensitivity setting, internal light reflection ma y cause the sensor to detect incident light. In such case, use adjust
the threshold either manually or using teaching.

Adjustment Methods
1. Setting the Operation Mode
The operation mode is set with the Mode Selector.
*E3X-DA@T W -S: The operation mode is set in SET mode. Ref er to
5. Setting Functions in SET Mode on page 22.
*E3X-DA@TW-S: Set the Channel Selector to the desired channel
before making any adjust ments or settings. This is true for all ad-
justments and settings.
2. Adjusting the Power (RUN Mode)
The current incident light level can be adjusted to near the power
tuning target value (default: 2,000).
*Confir m that the MODE key setting is PTUN (power tuning). The
default setting is PTUN. Refer to 5. Setting Functions in SET Mode
on page 22
* Setting Errors
An error has occurred if one of the following displays appears after
the progress bar is displayed.
Note:Press the DOWN key right after pressing the MODE key.
3. Setting Thresholds Manually
(RUN Mode)
A threshold can be set manually. A threshold value can also be fine-
tuned using manual setting after teaching.
*Even if the display method for display switching is changed, the
threshold will appear on the sub-display when the key is pressed.

4. Teaching the Threshold Value
(SET Mode)
*There are four methods that can be used f or teaching, as described
below. Use the method most suitable for the application.
*An error has occurred if OVER, LO, or NEAR is display ed on the
sub-display. Repeat the operation from the be ginning.
4-1. Setting the Threshold at Maximum
Sensitivity
The threshold can be set at the maximum sensitivity. This method is
ideal when using a Through-beam Fiber Unit to detect workpieces
so that detection is not influenced to any great degree by dust and
other environmental factors.
4-2. Te achin g a Th rough-beam Fibe r Uni t
without a Wo rkp ie ce
A value about 6% less than the incident light level can be set as the
threshold value. This method is ideal when detecting very small dif-
ferences in light level, such as when detecting very fine workpieces
or transparent workpieces like transparent fi bers.
4-3. T eaching a Reflective Fiber Unit without
a Workpiece
A value about 6% greater than the incident light le vel can be set as
the threshold value. This method is ideal when us ing a Reflective
Fiber Unit to detect workpieces so that detection is not influenced to
any great degree by dust and other environmental factors.
4-4. Teaching With and Without a Workp ie ce
Teaching can be performed twice, once with and once without a
workpiece, and the value between the two measured value can be
set as the threshold.

Safety Precautions
Note:In addition to the following precautions, please read and ob-
serve the common precautions for the instructions included
with the product.
■Precautions for Correct Use
Amplifier Unit
Installation
●Operation after Turning Power ON
The Amplifier Unit is ready to operate within 200 ms after the power
supply is turned ON. If the Sensor and load are connected to power
supplies separately, be sure to turn ON the power supply to the Sen-
sor f irst.
Mounting
●Connecting and Disconnecting Connect ors
Mounting Connectors
1. Insert the Master or Slave Connector into the Amplifier Unit until it
cli cks int o place.
2. Attach the protector seals (provided as accessories) to the sides
of master and slave connect ors that are not connected.
Note:Attach the seals to the sides with grooves
Removing Connectors
1. Slide the slave Amplifier Unit(s) for which the Connector is to be
removed away from the rest of the gr oup.
2. After the Amplifier Unit(s) has been separated, press down on the
lever on the Connector and remove it. (Do not attempt to remov e
Connectors without separating them from other Amplifier Units
first.)
●Joining and Removing Amplifier Units
Joining Amplifier Units
1. Mount the Amplifier Units one at a time onto the DIN trac k.
2. Slide the Amplifier Units together, line up the clips , and press the
Amplifier Units together until they click into place.
Separating Amplifier Units
Slide Amplifier Units away from each other, and remove from the
DIN track one at a time. (Do not attempt to remove Amplifier Units
from the DIN track without separating them first.)
Note 1. The specifications for ambient temperature will vary accord-
ing to the number of Amplifier Units used together. For de-
tails, refer to Ratings/Characteristics.
2. Always turn OFF the power supply before joining or separat-
ing Amplifier Units.
●Mounting the End Plate (PFP-M)
An End Plate should be used if there is a possibility of the Amplifier
Unit moving, e.g., due to vibr ation. If a Mobil e Console is going to be
mounted, connect the End Plate in the direction shown in the follow-
ing diagram.
●Mounting the Mobile Console Head
Leave a gap of at least 20 mm between the neares t Amplifier Unit
and the Mobile Console head.
Insert
Seal Seal
Press down
Remove
Lever
Click into place
End Plate

26 E3X-DA-S Digital Fiber Sen so rs
●Fiber Connection
The E3X Amplifier Unit has a lock button for easy connection of the
Fiber Unit. Connect or disconnect the fibers using the following pro-
cedures:
1. Connection
Open the protective cover, insert the fibers according to the fiber
insertion marks on the side of the Amplifier Unit, and lower the lock
button.
Fibers with E39-F9 Attachme nt
Fibers That Cannot Be Free-Cut (with Sleeves)
2. Disconnecting Fibers
Remove the protective cover and raise the lock button to pull out the
fibers.
Note 1. To maintain the fiber properties, confirm that the lock is re-
leased before removing the fibers.
2. Be sure to lock or unlock the lock button wit hin an ambient
temperature range between -10°C and 40°C.
Adjustments
●Mutual Inte rfer en ce Prot ec ti on Func tion
There may be some instability in the digital display values due to
light from other sensors. If this occurs, decrease the sensitivity (i.e. ,
decrease the power or increase the threshold) to perform stable
detection.
●EEPROM Writing Error
If the data is not written to the EEPROM correctly due to a power fail-
ure or static-electric noise, initialize the settings with the keys on the
Amplifier Unit. ERR/EEP will flash on the display when a writing error
has occurred.
●Optical Communicat ion s
Several Amplifier Units can be slid together and used in groups. Do
not, however, slide the Amplifier Units or attempt to remove any of
the Amplifier Units during operation.
Other Precautions
●Protective Cover
Always keep the protective cover in place when using the Amplifier
Unit.
●Mobile Console
Use the E3X-MC11-S Mobile Con sole for the E3X-DA-S-series
Amplifier Units. Other Mobile Consoles, such as the E3X-MC11,
cannot be used.
