Features
Models with New Connector System
Reduces Wiring, Saves Space, and Makes
Maintenance Easier
In Amplifiers with wire-saving connectors, the power supply is
distributed to 1-conductor slave connectors through a 3-
conductor master connector. This design has three major
advantages.
1. Wiring time is significantly reduced.
2. Relay connectors are unnecessary, so wiring takes up less
space and costs are reduced.
3. Storage and maintenance are simpler because it isn't
necessary to distinguish between master connector and
slave connectors on the Amplifier.
Super Digital Display with Auto Power
Control (APC) Circuit
The passage of time causes the intensity of the Sensor's light-
emitting LED elements to deteriorate, which may make stable
detection impossible.
The E3X-DA-N is the first series of Fiber Sensors to use an
Auto Power Control (APC) circuit. This achieves strict
detection by eliminating fluctuation in the digital value and is
ideal for subtle detection such as stable detection of liquid-
crystal glass.

Power Consumption Reduced by As Much
As 70%
Power consumption is
reduced by as much as 70%
from 1800 mW to 600 mW
(when the digital display is
OFF).
Digital Display Can Be Turned OFF or
Dimmed during Operation
When the digital display is viewed infrequently during
operation, current consumption can be reduced by dimming
the display or turning it OFF entirely.
(Eco-mode can be set from the Mobile Console only.)

Concept
Patent Pending
Flash the Sensor head and display the amplifier channels
during operation.
Even if the Amplifier and Sensor
head are separated during
operation, it is still possible to
flash the Sensor head and
display the amplifier channels.
Remote Setting and Adjustment
Perform settings, teaching, and fine adjustments at the
end of the Fiber Unit.
Display the light intensity and threshold at the same time.
Previously, settings and
teaching could be performed
only on the Amplifier. Now,
however, using a Mobile
Console enables these
operations at the end of the fiber.
Strict adjustments can be made
while checking the workpiece
position.
With group teaching, teach multiple amplifiers
simultaneously.
Eliminate inconsistency by using group zero reset.
The tedious teaching that had
to be performed separately for
each Amplifier can now be
performed for several
Amplifiers at once using the
Mobile Console.
The group zero reset function
can simultaneously reset the
digital displays of multiple
Amplifiers to 0. This function is
useful to minimize variation
between Amplifier values.

Technical Reference (for E3X-DA-TW Twin-output Models) (In the following examples, threshold 1 is set
to 3,000, and threshold 2 is set to 1,000.)
Output Patterns for Normal Operation
Outputs 1 and 2 can be set to operate independently and either Light ON mode or
Dark ON mode can be selected (independently) for channels 1and 2 making a total
of 4 possible output patterns.

Output Patterns for Area Sensing
This series includes models equipped
with area sensing functionality, a first for
Digital Fiber Amplifiers. This
functionality can be used to monitor
whether the incident level is inside or
outside the threshold area. The 2 output
patterns below are possible for this kind
of operation.

Setting Functions (SET Mode)4
The operating mode for the channel
set with the channel-selection switch
can be changed.
● Area Sensing
Area sensing is possible using the threshold values
for channels 1 and 2.
• If channel 1 is set to L-ON, output turns ON when
the incident level is between the thresholds.
• If channel 1 is set to D-ON, output turns OFF
when the incident level is between the
thresholds.
The result is output to control output 1.
(Control output 2 is always OFF.)

Safety Precautions
This product is not designed or rated for
ensuring safety of persons. Do not use it for
such purpose.
Do not use the product in atmospheres or environments that
exceed product ratings.
Amplifiers
● 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.
● Mounting
Joining and Separating Amplifiers
Joining Amplifiers
(1) Mount the Amplifiers one at a time onto the DIN track.
(2) Slide the Amplifiers together, line up the clips, and press
the Amplifiers together until they click into place.
Separating 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.)
Fiber Connection and Disconnection
The E3X Amplifier uses a one-touch locking mechanism.
(Only the E3X-NM uses a locking button mechanism.)
Connect or disconnect the fibers to or from the E3X Amplifier
using the following procedures:
(1) Connection
Open the protective cover, insert the fibers according to the
fiber insertion marks on the side of the Amplifier, and lower the
lock button.
(2) Disconnection
Remove the protective
cover and raise the
lock button to pull out
the fiber.
Note: To maintain the fiber properties, confirm that the
lock is released before removing the fiber.
(3) Precautions for Fiber Connection/Disconnection
Be sure to lock or unlock the lock button within an ambient
temperature range between −10 and 40°C.
Mounting the Mobile Console Head
Leave a gap of at least 20 mm
between the nearest Amplifier and
the Mobile Console head.
Mounting the Mobile Console Head
With Twin-output models (E3X-DA@@TW), up to 16 channels
(i.e., eight E3X-DA@@TW Amplifiers) can be set using the
E3X-MC11 Mobile Console. (Operating modes and area
detection, however, cannot be set.)
● Adjustment
Mutual Interference Protection Function
There may be some instability in the digital display values due
to light from other sensors. If this occurs, decrease the
sensitivity (i.e., increase the threshold) to perform stable
detection.
EEPROM Writing Error
If the data is not written to the EEPROM correctly due to a
power failure during teaching or static-electric noise, repeat
the whole teaching procedure.
WARNING
Precautions for Correct Use
Note 1. The specifications for ambient temperature will vary according to the
number of Amplifiers used together. For details, refer to Ratings and
Specifications.
2. Always turn OFF the power supply before joining or separating
Amplifiers.

Optical Communications
Several Amplifiers can be slid together and used in groups.
Do not, however, slide the Amplifiers or attempt to remove any
of the Amplifiers during operation.
Hysteresis Adjustment
The hysteresis setting can be adjusted using the Mobile
Console. Do not, however, set the hysteresis to a value lower
than the factory setting. Using a setting less than the factory
setting may result in incorrect operation.
Amplifiers with Connectors
● Mounting
Mounting Connectors
(1) Insert the Master or Slave Connector into the Amplifier
until it clicks into place.
(2) Join Amplifiers together as required after all the Master
and Slave Connectors have been inserted.
(3) Attach the stickers (provided as accessories) to the sides
of Master and Slave Connectors that are not connected to
other Connectors.
Note: Attach the stickers to the sides with grooves.
Removing Connectors
(1) Slide the slave Amplifier(s) for which the Connector is to
be removed away from the rest of the group.
(2) After the Amplifier(s) has been separated, press down on
the lever on the Connector and remove it. (Do not attempt
to remove Connectors without separating them from other
Amplifiers first.)
Mounting End Plate (PFP-M)
Depending on how it is mounted, an Amplifier may move
during operation. In this case, use an End Plate.
Before mounting an End Plate, remove the clip from the
master Amplifier using a nipper or similar tool.
The clip can also be removed using the following mechanism,
which is incorporated in the construction of the section
underneath the clip.
(1) Insert the clip to be removed into the slit underneath the
clip on another Amplifier.
(2) Remove the clip by rotating the Amplifier.
When using the E3X-DA-N with the Mobile Console, mount
the End Plate in the way shown below.

replacement thereof) the non-complying Product, (ii) repair the non-complying Product, or (iii) repay or credit Buyer an amount
equal to the purchase price of the non-complying Product; provided that in no event shall Omron be responsible for warranty,

Omron Companies shall not be responsible for conformity with any standards, codes or regulations which apply to the
combination of the Product in the Buyer’s application or use of the Product. At Buyer’s request, Omron will provide applicable
third party certification documents identifying ratings and limitations of use which apply to the Product. This information by itself

it to actual application requirements. Actual performance is subject to the Omron’s Warranty and Limitations of Liability.
Change in Specifications.
Product specifications and accessories may be changed at any time based on improvements and other reasons. It is our
practice to change part numbers when published ratings or features are changed, or when significant construction changes are
made. However, some specifications of the Product may be changed without any notice. When in doubt, special part numbers
may be assigned to fix or establish key specifications for your application. Please consult with your Omron’s representative at
any time to confirm actual specifications of purchased Product.
