Safety Precautions
Refer to Warranty and Limitations of Liability.
Precautions for Correct Use
WARNING
● Installation
This product is not designed or rated for ensuring
safety of persons either directly or indirectly. Do not
use it for such purposes.
• It is assumed that EE-SX91 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.
Precautions for Safe Use
• 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.
• Do not short-circuit the load. (Do
not connect to the power
supply.)
Doing so may result in rupture or
burning.
• Dispose of this product as
industrial waste.

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 kΩ and its
wattage is 1/2 W for a supply voltage of 24 V and 1/4 W for 12 V.

● Other Precautions
• Do not disconnect wire the cables from the Sensor when power is
supplied to the Sensor, or Sensor damage could result.
• 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.
• Make sure the total length of the power cable connected to the
product is less than 10 m.
• Only output 2 (OUT2) on NPN models is provided with overcurrent
protection.
If an overcurrent occurs, heat generated by the output transistor will
activate the thermal shutdown circuit and OUT2 will turn OFF.
Check the wiring and load current and cycle the power supply. If
there is no overcurrent, normal operation will be resumed. (The
thermal shutdown circuit will be activated again if there is an
overcurrent.)
This function does not provide protection against load short circuits.
If the electric power of the output transistor increases due to a load
short-circuit or near load short-circuit, the Sensor may be damaged.
• 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.
