E3X-NA6 E3X-SD6
E3X-SD/NA Series
NEW Digital Display – Direct Key Setting
Simple Fiber Amplifiers
Bar Display – Manual Setting
The Series now includes models with digital displays and direct key setting.
Simplicity and High Performance
A design that focuses on simple operation has resulted in an Amplifier that is so simple it can be
operated without the manual.
The Amplifier also uses a large, easy-to-read operation indicator and a simple display for
excess gain (i.e., incident level/operating level).
Essentially anyone can use the Amplifier right away.
With the E3X-SD, settings and
management can be
performed reliably using the
digital display ranging from 0%
to 999% (10 times), and with
the E3X-NA, the same can be
performed intuitively using the
large 5-level bar display.
Operation and Displays So Simple That Anyone Can Use the Amplifier Right Away
Wire-saving Connector to Reduce Work and Stock Management

Fine adjustments can be made in
increments of 1% using the Up
and Down Keys.
Setting is completed with a
single press when teaching
with/without the workpiece.
Fine tuning can be
performed using the
8-turn adjuster
(with indicator).
Immediately determine
operation and amount
of light with a simple,
bright display.
Power is supplied through
the connector, so only one
wire for output is required
for expansion.

The three most important performance
capabilities when selecting a sensor are
achieved to a high standard: distance, speed,
and precision.
A balance is provided between reliable
detection performance and capability for a
broad range of applications.

Speed
General-purpose Performance for Simple Use
Optical communications is used between Amplifiers.
Interference is reliably prevented for up to five Amplifiers by mutually staggering the light emission timing
(except for the E3X-NA@F).

E32-TC200
Sufficient distance performance.
A maximum distance of 14 m
can be achieved by using a
Long-distance Fiber Unit
(through-beam) in combination
with the Amplifier.
Gold wire with a diameter of 30 µm can
be detected.
And minute workpieces can be detected.
Note: The diameter of 30 µm is a typical value
when the sensing distance and sensitivity are
set to their optimal conditions.
The response speed handles 2,500
counts per second to enable detecting
high-speed workpieces
(25,000 counts per second for the E3X-NA@F).

No Breaking
Feature
A large number of ultrafine cores are all surrounded by cladding. As
a result, the fiber is flexible and can be bent without significantly
reducing the light intensity. This helps solve problems, such as
fiber being broken by getting caught on other objects.

rupturing.
High-temperature environments may result in
burn injury.
The following precautions must be observed to ensure safety.
1. Do not use the product in locations where flammable or
explosive gas is present.
2. Do not use the product in locations subject to splashing
water, oil, or chemicals, or in locations subject to steam.
3. Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the
product.
4. Do not apply voltage or current in excess of the rated
ranges.
5. Do not use the product in atmospheres or environments
that exceed product ratings.
6. Do not wire the product incorrectly, such as using incorrect
power supply polarity.
7. Connect the load properly.
8. Do not short-circuit both ends of the load.
9. Do not use the product if the case is damaged.
10. When disposing of the product, dispose of it as industrial
waste.
11. Do not use the product in locations subject to direct

Amplifier Units
Designing
Communications Hole
The hole on the side of the Amplifier Unit is a communications
hole for preventing mutual interference when Amplifier Units
are mounted side-by-side. The E3X-MC11 Mobile Console
(order separately) cannot be used.
If an excessive amount of light is received via the Sensor, the
mutual interference prevention function may not work. In this
case, make the appropriate adjustments using the sensitivity
adjuster.
The mutual interference prevention function will not operate
when the E3X-SD/NA is used side-by-side with E3X-DA-N
models.
Mounting
DIN Track Mounting/Removal
Mounting Amplifier Units
1. Mount the Amplifier Units one at a time onto the DIN track.
2. Slide the Amplifier Units together, line up the clips, and
press the Amplifier Units together until they click into place.
Removing 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.)
Fiber Connection and Disconnection
The E3X Amplifier Unit has a lock lever. Connect or
disconnect the fibers to or from the E3X Amplifier Unit 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 Unit, and
lower the lock lever.
2. Disconnection
Remove the Protective Cover and raise the lock lever 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 lever within an ambient
temperature range between 10°C and 40°C.
Operating Environment
Ambient Conditions
If dust or dirt adhere to the hole for optical communications, it
may prevent normal communications. Be sure to remove any
dust or dirt before using the Units.
Other
Protective Cover
Be sure to mount the Protective Cover before use.
Precautions for Correct Use
Note 1. The specifications for ambient temperature will vary according to the
number of Amplifier Units used together. For details, refer to Ratings
and Specifications.
2. Always turn OFF the power supply before mounting or removing
Amplifier Units.

Amplifier Units with Connectors
Mounting
Mounting Connectors
1. Insert the Master or Slave Connector into the Amplifier Unit
until it clicks into place.
2. Join Amplifier Units 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 Unit for which the Connector is to
be removed away from the rest of the group.
2. After the Amplifier Unit 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
Amplifier Units first.)
Mounting End Plate (PFP-M)
Depending on how it is mounted, an Amplifier Unit may move
during operation. In this case, use an End Plate.
Before mounting an End Plate, remove the clip from the
master Amplifier Unit 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 Unit.
2. Remove the clip by rotating the Amplifier Unit.

Operating Procedure
E3X-SD@
A 7-segment display showing excess gain is provided in
addition to the orange operation indicator.
Use these when adjusting the light axis and setting the
sensitivity at setup.
The sensitivity can be set with the UP and DOWN Keys similar
to using an adjuster knob. The sensitivity can also be easily
set by using the following three teaching functions.
The sensitivity can be set to the maximum. This is the optimal
setting for resistance against the effects of dust.
Two points (one with the workpiece and the other without) are
detected, and the operating level is set to the midpoint.
Changes within a time are detected, and the operating level is
set to the midpoint between the maximum and the minimum
values of the changes. This setting is optimal for when the
workpieces cannot be stopped.
E3X-NA@
A bar display (with four green and one red) showing excess
gain is provided in addition to the orange operation indicator.
Use these when adjusting the light axis and setting the
sensitivity at setup.
