Safety Precautions
! Warning
This product is not designed or rated for ensuring
safety of persons either directly or indirectly.
Do not use it for such purposes.
! Caution
Do not exceed the rated voltage.
Excess voltage may result in malfunction or fire.

Precautions for Correct Use
Do not use the product in atmospheres or environments that exceed product ratings.
Amplifier Units
Designing
Communications Hole
The hole on the side of the Amplifier Unit is a communications
hole for preventing mutual interference when Amplifier Units are
mounted side-by-side. The E3X-MC11 Mobile Console (sold separately) cannot be used.
If an excessive amount of light is received via the Sensor, the mutual interference prevention function may not work. In this case,
make the appropriate adjustments using the sensitivity adjuster.
Mutual interference prevention is effective when E3X-SD-series
Amplifiers are gang-mounted without other E3X-series Amplifiers.
Mounting
DIN Track Mounting/Removal
Mounting Amplifier Units
1. Mount the Amplifier Units one at a time onto the DIN track.
2. Slide the Amplifier Units together, line up the clips, and press
the Amplifier Units together until they click into place.
Clip
Click into
place
Removing Amplifier Units
Slide Amplifier Units away from each other, and remove from the
DIN track one at a time. (Do not attempt to remove Amplifier Units
from the DIN track without separating them first.)
Note 1. The specifications for ambient temperature will vary according to the
number of Amplifier Units used together. For details, refer to Ratings
and Specifications.
2. Always turn OFF the power supply before mounting or removing
Amplifier Units.

Fiber Connection and Disconnection
The E3X Amplifier Unit has a lock lever. Connect or disconnect
the fibers to or from the E3X Amplifier Unit using the following procedures:
1. Connection
Open the Protective Cover, insert the fibers according to the fiber
insertion marks on the side of the Amplifier Unit, and lower the
lock lever.

Depending on how it is mounted, an Amplifier Unit may move during operation. In this case, use an End Plate.
Before mounting an End Plate, remove the clip from the master
Amplifier Unit using a nipper or similar tool.
Note: To maintain the fiber properties, confirm that the lock is released
before removing the fiber.
Clip
3. Precautions for Fiber Connection/Disconnection
Be sure to lock or unlock the lock lever within an ambient temperature range between 10C and 40C.
The clip can also be removed using the following mechanism,
which is incorporated in the construction of the section underneath the clip.
Operating Environment
Ambient Conditions
1. Insert the clip to be removed into the slit underneath the clip on
another Amplifier Unit.
If dust or dirt adhere to the hole for optical communications, it may
prevent normal communications. Be sure to remove any dust or
dirt before using the Units.
Other
Protective Cover
Be sure to mount the Protective Cover before use.

Sensitivity Setting
The sensitivity can be set with the UP and DOWN Keys similar to
using an adjuster knob. The sensitivity can also be easily set by
using the following two teaching functions.
Teaching with/without a Workpiece
Two points (one with the workpiece and the other without) are detected, and the operating level is set to the midpoint.
Light level is also automatically set to the optimal value.

Changes within a time are detected, and the operating level is set
to the midpoint between the maximum and the minimum values
of the changes. This setting is optimal for when the workpieces
cannot be stopped. Execute automatic teaching again if the incident light level is not automatically set to the optimal value.
