Mark Sensor
E3M-V
E3M-V
• Detects laminated or light-dispersing
objects in stable operation without being influenced by mirror reflection.
• Double indication of the detection level
and threshold level allows easy grasp
of the operating status and easy adjustment.
• Automatically sets to the optimum
threshold level while sensing objects
are being conveyed and incorporates
an auto-teaching function that discriminates between the mark and background and turns ON when the mark is
detected.
• IP67 watertight construction with M12
rotary connector
• High response speed of 50 s and half
the size of OMRON's conventional
models.
Applications
Dependably Detects Marks on Laminated Sheets
Auto-Teaching
The coaxial optical system ensures a long sensing distance and
stable sensing characteristics over a wide angle range, even for
objects that are distance-fluctuating or leaning at an angle, or for
laminated objects with marks, which conventional models have
difficulty in detecting
An auto-teaching function automatically sets the threshold value
upon a Remote Control input while the workpiece is moving.
There is no need to position the mark at the optical spot.

Adjustments
Adjustment Steps
1. Install, wire, and turn ON the Photomicrosensor.
2. Perform teaching (mark registration). Refer to Mark Registration
(Teaching).
3. Make fine adjustments of the threshold level if necessary. Refer to
Threshold Level Adjustments on page A-139 .
4. Check that the mode selector is set to RUN.
Mark Registration (Teaching)
Two-point Teaching
Refer to the following for ideal teaching.
Application
The base has a color
pattern. The mark
and base are clearly
different in color.
The base has no color pattern. The mark
and base are slightly
different in color.
The base has no color pattern. Remote
teaching with no positioning is desired.

One-point teaching
Two-point teaching
Auto-teaching
The default level is
set and the output is
ON when the mark is
detected.
The threshold level is
set between the color
of the mark and
base. The output is
ON when the mark is
detected.
The threshold level is
set between color of
the mark and base.
The output is ON
when the mark (i.e.,
the color with shorter
passing time) is detected.
Refer to the following for each teaching method. Remote one- or twopoint teaching is possible. Refer to Remote Control Function.

Note: By teaching on the base, reversed output as shown above (base: ON,
mark: OFF) can be obtained.
4 If teaching is successful, set the mode selector to RUN to complete the teaching operation. If teaching is unsuccessful, restart
from the above step 2.
Note: Follow the above steps so that the output will be turned ON whenever the

Precautions
Observe the following precautions to ensure safety.
• Do not use the Sensor in locations subject to flammable or explosive gases.
• Do not use the Sensor in water or conductive solution.
• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the Sensor.
• Use the Sensor under proper power supply specifications such as
the use of AC or DC power supply.
• Do not apply any voltage or current exceeding the rated level.
• Be careful with the power supply polarities and wire correctly.
• Connect the loads correctly.
• Do not short-circuit both ends of loads.
Correct Use
Installation
Power Reset Time
Mounting
Screw Tightening
Make sure that the casing is tightened to a maximum torque of 1.2 N
o m.
Mounting Direction
When Sensors are mounted to face each other, make sure to adjust
the optical axes so that the Sensors will not be mutually interfered.
Others
EEPROM Write Error
An EEPROM error may result if power supply to the Sensor fails or
the Sensor is influenced by static noise, in which case the threshold
level indicators will flash. Perform the teaching and threshold level
setting of the E3M-V again.
M12 Metal Connector
Since the E3M-V is ready to detect objects from 100 ms max. after
the E3M-V is turned ON, operate the remaining devices 100 ms after
the Sensor is turned ON. If power is supplied to the E3M-V and the
load independently, be sure to turn on the E3M-V first.
Power OFF
The E3M-V may output a single pulse when the control power supply
is turned OFF. If the E3M-V is connected to a timer or counter to
which power is supplied from an independent power supply, the E3MV will be more likely to output a single pulse when the control power
supply is turned OFF. Therefore, supply power to the timer or counter
from the same power supply for the E3M-V.
Make sure to connect or disconnect the metal connector after turning
off the E3M-V.
Make sure to hold the connector cover when connecting or disconnecting the metal connector.
Tighten the metal connector securely by hand. Do not use any tool,
such as pliers, otherwise the metal connector may be damaged.
If the metal connector is not tightened securely, the metal connector
may be disconnected by vibration and the proper degree of protection
of the E3M-V may not be maintained.
Power Supply Type
No full-wave or half-wave rectified power supplies can be connected
to the E3M-V.
Power Supply Connection
Be sure to ground the FG (frame ground) and G (ground) terminals if
a switching regulator is connected to the E3M-V, otherwise the E3MV may malfunction due to the switching noise of the switching regulator.
Wiring
Cable
The cable can be extended up to 100 m provided that the thickness
of the cable is 0.3 mm2 minimum.
Repeated Cable Bending
The cable must not be bent repeatedly.
High-tension Lines
The power supply lines of the Sensor must not be wired alongside
power lines or high-tension lines in the same conduit, otherwise the
Sensor may become damaged or malfunction due to induction noise
that may be generated from the power lines or high-tension lines.
Route the lines separately or in a single conduit.
Cable Pulling Force
Do not pull cables with pulling forces exceeding 50N.
ALL DIMENSIONS SHOWN ARE IN MILLIMETERS.
