Precautions
Power supply
Do not impose an exessive voltage on the E2Q2, otherwise it
may explode or burn.
Do not connect an AC power supply to any DC model. If AC
power (100 VAC or more) is supplied to the sensor, it may ex-
plode or burn.
Be sure to abide by the following precautions for the safe op-
eration of the Sensor.
Wiring
Power Supply Voltage and Output Load
Power Supply Voltage
Make sure that the power supply to the Sensor is within the
rated voltage range. If a voltage exceeding the rated voltage
range is supplied to the Sensor, it may explode or burn.
Load Short-circuiting
Do not short-circuit the load, otherwise the Sensor may be
damaged.
Connection without Load
Do not connect the power supply to the Sensor with no load
connected, otherwise the internal elements may explode or
burn.
Operating Environment
Do not use the Sensor in locations with explosive or flamma-
ble gas.
Design
Effects of Surrounding Metal
Provide a minimum distance between the Sensor and the sur-
rounding metal as shown in the table below.
Mutual Interference
If more than one Sensor is located in parallel, ensure to main-
tain enough space between adjacent Sensors to suppress
mutual interference as provided in the following diagram.
Power Reset Time
The Sensor is ready to operate within 300 ms after the Sensor
is turned ON. If the load and Sensor are connected to inde-
pendent power supplies respectively, be sure to turn ON the
Sensor before supplying power to the load.
Power OFF
The Proximity Sensor may output a pulse signal when it is
turned OFF. Therefore, it is recommended that the load be
turned OFF before turning OFF the Proximity Sensor.
Power Supply Transformer
When using a DC power supply, make sure that the DC power
supply has an insulated transformer. Do not use a DC power
supply with an auto-transformer.
Sensing Object
The sensing distance of the Proximity Sensor vary with the
metal coating on sensing objects.
Wiring
High-tension cables
Wiring through Metal Conduit:
If there is power or high-tension line near the cable of the
Proximity Sensor, wire the cable through an independent met-
al conduit to prevent against Proximity Sensor damage or
malfunction.

Mounting
Mounting the Sensor
Do not subject the Proximity Sensor to excessive shock
with a hammer when it is installed, otherwise the Proximity
Sensor may be damaged or lose its water-resistivity.
Maintenance and Inspection
Periodically perform the following checks to ensure stable op-
eration of the Proximity Sensor over a long period of time.
• Check for mounting position, dislocation, looseness or dis-
tortion of the Proximity Sensor and sensing objects.
• Check for loose wiring and connections, improper contacts
and line breakage.
• Check for attachment or accumulation of metal powder or
dust.
• Check for abnormal temperature conditions and other envi-
ronmental conditions.
Never disassemble or repair the Sensor.
Environment
Water Resistivity
Do not use the Proximity Sensor underwater, outdoors or in
the rain.
Operating Environment
Be sure to use the Proximity Sensor within its operating ambi-
ent temperature range and do not use the Proximity Sensor
outdoors so that its reliability and life expectancy can be main-
tained. Although the Proximity Sensor is water resistive, a
cover to protect the Proximity Sensor from water or water-sol-
uble machining oil is recommended so that its reliability and
life expectancy can be maintained.
Do not use the Proximity Sensor in an environment with
chemical gas (e.g., strong alkaline or acid gasses including ni-
tric, chromic and concentrated sulfuric acid gases).
Inrush Current
A load that has a large inrush current (e.g., a lamp or motor)
will damage the Proximity Snesor, in this case connect the
load to the Proximity Sensor through a Relay

Certain Precautions on Specifications and Use
1. Suitability of Use. 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 is not sufficient for a complete determination of the suitability of the Prod-
uct in combination with the end product, machine, system, or other application
or use. Buyer shall be solely responsible for determining appropriateness of
the particular Product with respect to Buyer’s application, product or system.
Buyer shall take application responsibility in all cases but the following is a
non-exhaustive list of applications for which particular attention must be given:
(i) Outdoor use, uses involving potential chemical contamination or electrical
interference, or conditions or uses not described in this document.
(ii) Use in consumer products or any use in significant quantities.
(iii) Energy control systems, combustion systems, railroad systems, aviation
systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, vehicles, safety equip-
ment, and installations subject to separate industry or government regulations.
(iv) Systems, machines and equipment that could present a risk to life or prop-
erty. Please know and observe all prohibitions of use applicable to this Prod-
uct.
NEVER USE THE PRODUCT FOR AN APPLICATION INVOLVING SERIOUS
RISK TO LIFE OR PROPERTY OR IN LARGE QUANTITIES WITHOUT
ENSURING THAT THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO
ADDRESS THE RISKS, AND THAT THE OMRON’S PRODUCT IS PROP-
ERLY RATED AND INSTALLED FOR THE INTENDED USE WITHIN THE
OVERALL EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM.
2. Programmable Products. Omron Companies shall not be responsible for the
user’s programming of a programmable Product, or any consequence thereof.
3. Performance Data. Data presented in Omron Company websites, catalogs
and other materials is provided as a guide for the user in determining suitabil-
ity and does not constitute a warranty. It may represent the result of Omron’s
test conditions, and the user must correlate it to actual application require-
ments. Actual performance is subject to the Omron’s Warranty and Limitations
of Liability.
4. Change in Specifications. Product specifications and accessories may be
changed at any time based on improvements and other reasons. It is our prac-
tice to change part numbers when published ratings or features are changed,
or when significant construction changes are made. However, some specifica-
tions of the Product may be changed without any notice. When in doubt, spe-
cial 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.
5. Errors and Omissions. Information presented by Omron Companies has been
checked and is believed to be accurate; however, no responsibility is assumed
for clerical, typographical or proofreading errors or omissions.
