If the indicators operate as described in the table, the E3X can operate in stable condition within the rated temperature range.
2. Even when the green indicator is OFF, the E3X will operate stably if the operating temperature change since the initial
settings is within ± 10°C.

■ SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION
With this function, the E3X checks changes in environment
conditions (especially a change in the ambient temperature) and
self-diagnoses the resistance against the changes. The result is
shown by the indicators or an output signal.
Stable Operation Indicator
(Green Indicator)

●
Stable Operation Indicator: Changes in environmental
conditions (changes in the ambient temperature, the
operating voltage, or the volume of dust) are checked and
the resistance against them are self-diagnosed. The result
is shown via the indicator.

■ EXTERNAL DIAGNOSTIC INPUT FUNCTION
With this function, light projection can be stopped when desired.
The operation of the sensor can be checked with this function
before the E3X is placed into actual operation.
E3X-F❏❏/-VG❏❏
No light is emitted from the projection fiber head when selfdiagnostic input is ON.
E3X-A❏❏
Light is emitted from the projection fiber head when the selfdiagnostic inputs is ON. The sensor, however, will not operate.

The tightening force applied to the Fiber Unit should be as
follows:
Fiber Connection and Disconnection
The E3X amplifier has a lever lock. Connect or disconnect the
fibers to or from the E3X amplifier using the following
procedures:
Screw-mounting Model
1. Connection
Spring mounting clip
Lever lock
Toothed washers
Insertion mark
Fiber
Nuts
(attachment)
Insert the fibers into the E3X amplifier and press the lever
lock until the amplifier clicks to lock the fibers. The fibers will
have insertion marks when they are cut with the E39-F4
(Fiber Cutter). The portion from the tips to the insertion mark
should be inserted to the E3X.

Retaining screw
(M 3 max.)
Clamping torque
3 kgf • cm max.
2. Disconnection
Raise the lock lever to unlock the fibers before pulling
them out.
Fiber Insertion
Fiber units
If the portion from the tip to the insertion mark of the fibers are
not inserted into the amplifier unit, the sensing distance will be
reduced.
Clamping torque

10 kgf • cm max. (0.98 N • m)
E32-T12F
8 kgf • cm max. (0.78 N • m)
E32-D12F
8 kgf • cm max. (0.78 N • m)
E32-T16
5 kgf • cm max. (0.49 N • m)
E32-R21
6 kgf • cm max. (0.59 N • m)
E32-M21
Up to 5 mm to the tip: 5 kgf • cm
max. (0.49 N • m)
Up to 5 mm from the tip: 8 kgf • cm
max. (0.78 N • m)

■ AMPLIFIER UNITS
Do not pull or press the Fiber Units. The Fiber Units have a
withstand force of 1 kg or 3 kg (pay utmost attention because
the fibers are thin).
Mounting
1.
Do not bend the Fiber Units beyond the permissible bending
radius.
2.
Mount the front part on the mounting bracket (sold
together) or a DIN rail.
Press the back part onto the mounting bracket or the
DIN rail.
Do not bend the edge of the Fiber Units.
40 mm max.

Removal
By pulling back the lock (yellow) on the bottom with a flat blade
screwdriver, the amplifier can be removed with ease.
20 mm max.
Incorrect
In the case of side mounting, attach the mounting bracket on
the amplifier first, and secure the amplifier with M3 screws and
washers. The diameter of the washers should be 6 mm max.
Do not apply excess force on the Fiber Units.

Others
When power is off:
The moment power is turned off, the E3X could output a pulse
signal which could affect the operation of the devices
connected to it. This will happen more often if power is supplied
to the E3X from an external power supply, thus affecting the
connected timer and counter. Use a built-in power supply as
much as possible to avoid this.
Metal holder
Incorrect
The Fiber Head could be broken by excessive
vibration. To prevent this, the following is effective:
If power is supplied to a photoelectric sensor through a cord
that is wired together with other power lines in the same duct,
the cord will be influenced by the power lines and
malfunctioning of the photoelectric sensor or damage could
result. Wire the cord separately or use a sealed cord to supply
power to the photoelectric sensor.
A one-turn loop can
absorb vibrations
If the case of the cord is extended, use a wire with 0.3 mm2
max.. The total length of the cord should be 100 m max.
Tape
Power line
Power supply:
If a standard switching regulator is used as a power supply, the
frame ground (FG) terminal and the ground (G) terminal must
be grounded, or otherwise the E3X can malfunction, influenced
by the switching noise of the power supply.
The supplied voltage must be within the rated voltage range.
Unregulated full- or half-wave rectifiers must not be used as
power supplies.
Do not use a hammer to hit the amplifier when mounting or the
amplifier will loose watertightness.
