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 selector is set to NC, the indicator will be ON when the target object is not in the sensing distance range.
Stable sensing area
Stable no-sensing area
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.

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 successful. 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 required for positioning teaching.

J PROCESSING THE SENSOR CABLE
ENDS
J MUTUAL INTERFERENCE
Because of the Amplifier Unit’s slim construction, the end of the
sensor cable connected to the E2C-j must be processed as
shown in the following illustration.
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.
See Note 1.

(0.20)
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.
See Note 2.

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