Ultra-compact Pre-wired Photomicrosensor (Non-modulated)
EE-SX95
Meeting Customer Needs with
Ultra-compact Sensors that Mount
with M3 Screws
Mount using M3 or M2 screws.
Reliable sensing slot depth of 6.5 mm.
Indication of sensing window for easy confirmation of
insertion depth.
Bright indicator for confirmation from many directions.
Both light-ON and dark-ON outputs provided.
All models available with either standard cable or
flexible robot cable.
Load short-circuit protection circuit provided.
Features
Mount Using M2 or M3 Screws
The EE-SX95 can be mounted using M2 or M3 screws, so it can
easily replace an existing Sensor mounted with M2 screws.
Indication of Sensing Window for Easy
Confirmation of Insertion Depth
The location of the sensing window is indicated on the insertion slot
so that you can visually confirm whether the sensing object covers the
sensing window and easily check the insertion depth.
Reliable Best-in-Class Sensing Slot
Depth of 6.5 mm
(Based on April 2013 OMRON investigation.)
A deeper slot helps prevent the sensing object from coming into
contact with the base of the slot, creating greater tolerance in
mechanism design.
Bright Indicator for Confirmation from Many
Directions
The bright light indicator can be checked from up to four directions to
enable flexible selection of the installation location.
Refer to the Safety Precautions on
page 5.
For the most recent information on models that have been certified for
safety standards, refer to your OMRON website.
Example for the EE-SX950-W
Installation with M2 screws: 18.0
Installation with M3 screws: 18.7
The sensing object just needs
to extend below this line.

Safety Precautions
Refer to Warranty and Limitations of Liability.
This product is not designed or rated for ensuring
safety of persons either directly or indirectly. Do not
use it for such purposes.
Power Supply Voltage
Do not exceed the voltage range
indicated in the specifications.
Applying a voltage exceeding the
specifications or using an AC
power supply may result in rupture
or burning.
Faulty Wiring
Do not reverse the power supply
polarity. Doing so may result in
rupture or burning.
Load Short-circuit
Do not short-circuit the load. (Do
not connect to the power supply.)
Doing so may result in rupture or
burning.
Do not use the product in atmospheres or environments that exceed
product ratings.
Operating Environment
Do not install the Sensor in the following places to prevent
malfunction or trouble:
1. Places exposed to dust or oil mist
2. Places exposed to corrosive gas
3. Places directly or indirectly exposed to water, oil, or chemicals
4. Outdoor or places exposed to intensive light, such as direct
sunlight
Be sure to use the Sensor under the rated ambient temperature.
The Sensor may be dissolved by exposure to organic solvents,
acids, alkali, or aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic chloride
hydrocarbons causing deterioration in characteristics. Do not
expose the Sensor to such chemicals.
Installation
It is assumed that EE-SX95 Sensors will be built into a device.
These Sensors use non-modulated light and are not equipped to
deal with interference from an external light source. When they are
used in locations subject to external light interference, such as
near a window or under an incandescent light, install them to
minimize the effects of external light interference.
Mount the Sensors securely on a flat surface.
Use M3 or M2.0 screws to secure the Photomicrosensor. (The
stronger M3 screws are recommended. In addition, use flat
washers and spring washers to prevent the screws from
loosening.) Refer to the following table for the correct tightening
torque.
If the Sensor is to be used on a moving part, secure the cable
connection point so that it is not directly subjected to stress.
Wiring
Unused Output Lines
Be sure to isolate output lines that are not going to be used.
Connecting to Devices with Voltage Input
Specifications
A Sensor with an open-collector output can be connected to a counter
with a voltage input by connecting a resistor between the power
source and output. Select a resistor with reference to the following
example. The resistance of the resistor is generally 4.7 kand its
wattage is 1/2 W for a supply voltage of 24 V and 1/4 W for 12 V.
Example: EE-SX95 Series
Load Resistance of 4.7 k Connected in a Counter
Counter Specifications
The high and low levels are found using the following formulas. The
input device specifications must satisfy both formulas.
High level:
Low level:
Input voltage VL 1.0 V (Residual voltage for 50-mA load current)
Note: Refer to the ratings of the Sensor for the residual voltage of the
load current.
Load Short-circuit Protection
The EE-SX95 provides load short-circuit protection.
If a load short circuit occurs, the output will go OFF. Check the
wiring and cycle the power supply. The load short-circuit protection
circuit will be reset. The load short-circuit protection will also
operate if the current exceeds the rated load current.
If a capacitive load is being used, make sure that the inrush current
will not exceed the rated load current.
Other Precautions
Do not disconnect or wire the cables from the Sensor when power
is supplied to the Sensor, or Sensor damage could result.
Make sure the total length of the power cable connected to the
product is less than 10 m.
Other Precautions
An output pulse may occur when the power supply is turned ON
depending on the power supply and other conditions. The
operation of the Sensor will be stable 100 ms after turning ON the
power supply.
Dispose of this product as industrial waste.
