JINDICATORS

The OUT indicator indicates the status of the control output transistor. The indicator will be ON when the transistor has control output (i.e.,

NPN open collector output).

If the operation selector is set to NO, the indicator will be ON when the target object is in the sensing distance range. If the operation se-

lector is set to NC, the indicator will be ON when the target object is not in the sensing distance range.

The STB (stability) indicator indicates the excess gain of object detection or non-detection. The indicator will be ON when the target object

is within approximately 93% of the sensing distance or at approximately 107% of the sensing distance or beyond.

JAUTOMATIC TEACHING

The E2C-T is used for object detection, level difference detection, and positioning, and the sensitivity of the E2C-T must be set according

to the application. The following description provides information on the automatic teaching of the E2C-T for sensitivity adjustment.

Note: 1. Refer to details in the Sensitivity Setting (Automatic Teaching) section of this data sheet.

2. Before use, be sure to perform the teaching of the E2C-T.

3. If a fine-difference teaching is performed, reset failures may result when the E2C-T is in operation even if the teaching is suc-

cessful. Make sure that the E2C-T resets smoothly after the teaching.

4. Be sure to perform positioning teaching within the stable sensing distance range, or reset failures may result -- even if teaching

is successful. Be sure to check that the E2C-T can be reset after teaching. Refer to Ratings for the stability sensing range.

5. No transistor output will be ON if the mode selector is set to T, and a wrong signal may be output. The utmost attention is re-

quired for positioning teaching.

JINFLUENCE OF SURROUNDING METAL

If the Sensor is embedded, be sure to separate the Sensor from

surrounding metal objects, as shown in the following illustration.

Note: Figures in parentheses indicate outer diameters of

shielded models.

Although the E2C-CR5B2 is a shielded model, this model

cannot be embedded in metal.

JMUTUAL INTERFERENCE

If more than one Sensor is located face-to-face or in parallel, be

sure to maintain enough space, (as provided in the following

diagram), between adjacent Sensors, to suppress mutual

interference.

The mutual interference of the Sensors can be prevented by

cable length selector settings. However, the result is a change in

the coil characteristics of the Sensors, and the specified ratings

may not be satisfied in all permissible temperature or sensing

distance ranges. Test the operation of the Sensors before using

them in an actual application.

Note: The cable length of E2C-CR5B2 cannot be adjusted, so

mutual interference cannot be manipulated for this sensor

using cable length selector settings.
