The Problem with Resin Heads
A resin head presents the risk of
being damaged due to friction
when the sensing surface comes in
contact with a warped workpiece
when confirming mounting status
while the workpiece is moved
between processes.

Safety Precautions
(Unit: mm)
WARNING
This product is not designed or rated for ensuring
safety of persons either directly or indirectly.
Do not use it for such purposes.
Item
Model
E2EF-(Q)X2D1
Never use this product with an AC power supply.
Otherwise, explosion may result.
The following precautions must be observed to ensure safe operation.
1. Do not use the Sensor in an environment where inflammable or
explosive gas is present.
2. Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify any Sensors.
3. Power Supply Voltage
Do not use a voltage that exceeds the rated operating voltage
range. Applying a voltage that is higher than the operating voltage
range may result in explosion or fire.
4. Incorrect Wiring
Be sure that the power supply polarity and other wiring is correct.
Incorrect wiring may cause explosion or fire.
5. Connection without a Load
If the power supply is connected directly without a load, the internal
elements may explode or burn. Be sure to insert a load when
connecting the power supply.
Precautions for Correct Use
Do not use the Sensor under ambient conditions that exceed the
ratings.
1. Do not use the Sensor in the following locations.
(1) Outdoor locations directly subject to sunlight, rain, snow, or
water droplets
(2) Locations subject to atmospheres with chemical vapors, in
particular solvents and acids
(3) Locations subject to corrosive gas
2. The Sensor may malfunction if used near ultrasonic cleaning
equipment, high-frequency equipment, transceivers, cellular
phones, inverters, or other devices that generate a high-frequency
electric field. Refer to the OMRON website (www.ia.omron.com/)
for typical measures.
3. Laying the Sensor wiring in the same conduit or duct as highvoltage wires or power lines may result in incorrect operation and
damage due to induction. Wire the Sensor using a separate
conduit or independent conduit.
4. Cleaning
Never use thinner or other solvents. Otherwise, the Sensor surface
may be dissolved.

Chips from Cutting Aluminum
Normally, chips from cutting aluminum will not cause a detection
signal to be output even if it adheres to or accumulates on the
detection surface. In the following cases, however, a detection signal
may be output. Remove the cutting chips in these cases.
