Long-distance Proximity Sensor

E2EM

Safe Mounting with Greater Sensing

Distance and Easy Wiring with No
Polarity
Ensures a sensing distance approximately 1.5 to 2
times larger than that of any conventional OMRON
Sensor.
Offers greater design flexibility and ease for the
detection of large-sized or non-ferrous sensing
objects.
Problems such as the collision of workpieces are
eliminated.
The E2EM has no polarity, thus eliminating
problems associated with reversed wiring.

Precautions
! WARNING
This product is not designed or rated for ensuring
safety of persons.
Do not use it for such purposes.

Precautions for Safe Use

Power Supply

Connection with No Load

Do not impose an excessive voltage on the E2EM, otherwise it may

be damaged. Do not impose AC current (100 VAC) on any E2EM
DC model, otherwise it may be damaged.

Be sure to insert loads when wiring. Make sure to connect a proper

load to the E2EM in operation, otherwise it may damage internal elements.

Load Short-circuit

Do not expose the product to flammable or explosive gases.

Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the product.

Do not short-circuit the load, or the E2EM may be damaged.

The E2EMs short-circuit protection function will be valid if the polarity of the supply voltage imposed is correct and within the rated voltage range.

Wiring
Be sure to wire the E2EM and load correctly, otherwise it may be
damaged.

Precautions for Correct Use

Designing
Power Reset Time
The Proximity Sensor is ready to operate within 100 ms after power
is supplied. If power supplies are connected to the Proximity Sensor
and load respectively, be sure to supply power to the Proximity Sensor before supplying power to the load.
Effects of Surrounding Metal
When mounting the E2EM within a metal panel, ensure that the
clearances given in the following table are maintained.

Power OFF
The Proximity Sensor may output a pulse signal when it is turned
OFF. Therefore, it is recommended that the load be turned OFF
before turning OFF the Proximity Sensor.
Power Supply Transformer
When using a DC power supply, make sure that the DC power supply has an insulated transformer. Do not use a DC power supply with
an auto-transformer.
AND/OR Connection
When using the product in an AND/OR circuit, the product may not
function properly due to incorrect pulses or leakage currents.
Therefore, confirm that no problems will occur before actually using
the product in such a circuit.
Mutual Interference
When installing two or more Sensors face-to-face or side-by-side,
ensure that the minimum distances given in the following table are
maintained.

Confirmation of Connection between DC 2-wire Proximity

Sensor and Programmable Controller
Connection conditions are determined from the relationship between the input ON voltage and OFF voltage of the PC and the output residual voltage and leakage current of the Proximity Sensor.

The Proximity Sensor must not be subjected to excessive shock

with a hammer when it is installed, otherwise the Proximity Sensor
may be damaged or lose its water-resistivity.
Do not tighten the nut with excessive force. A washer must be used
with the nut.

Connection Conditions
1. Relationship between the ON voltage of the PC and the
residual voltage of the Proximity Sensor must be as follows:
VonxVcc VR
Von: ON voltage of the PC
Vcc: Supply voltage
VR: Output residual voltage the Proximity Sensor
2. Relationship between the OFF voltage of the PC and the
leakage current of the Proximity Sensor must be as follows:

Voff: OFF voltage of the PC
Ileak: Leakage current of the Proximity Sensor
Rin: Input impedance of the PC
Connection is possible under the following conditions.
Example values on the PC side
ON voltage: 10.2 V min.
OFF voltage: 3 V max.
Input impedance: 3.5 k
Example values on the Proximity Sensor side
Output residual voltage: 5 V max.
Leakage current: 0.8 mA max.
If these values are put in the above formula, Von and Voff will be as
follows:
Von: 10.2 Vt24 V5 V (=19 V)
Voff: 3 Vu0.8 mA x 3.5 k (=2.8 V)

Wiring
High-tension Lines
Wiring through Metal Conduit:
If there is a power or high-tension line near the cable of the Proximity
Sensor, wire the cable through an independent metal conduit to prevent against Proximity Sensor damage or malfunctioning.

Note:

The table below shows the tightening torques for part A and
part B nuts. In the previous examples, the nut is on the sensor head side (part B) and hence the tightening torque for
part B applies. If this nut is in part A, the tightening torque for
part A applies instead.

Maintenance and Inspection

Periodically perform the following checks to ensure stable operation
of the Proximity Sensor over a long period of time.
1. Check for mounting position, dislocation, looseness, or
distortion of the Proximity Sensor and sensing objects.
2. Check for loose wiring and connections, improper contacts,
and line breakage.
3. Check for attachment or accumulation of metal powder or
dust.
4. Check for abnormal temperature conditions and other
environmental conditions.
5. Check for proper lighting of indicators (for models with a set
indicator.)
Never disassemble or repair the Sensor.

Water Resistivity
Do not use the Proximity Sensor underwater, outdoors, or in the
rain.
Operating Environment
Be sure to use the Proximity Sensor within its operating ambient
temperature range and do not use the Proximity Sensor outdoors so
that its reliability and life expectancy can be maintained. Although
the Proximity Sensor is water resistive, a cover to protect the Proximity Sensor from water or water-soluble machining oil is recommended so that its reliability and life expectancy can be maintained.
Do not use the Proximity Sensor in an environment with chemical
gas (e.g., strong alkaline or acid gasses including nitric, chromic,
and concentrated sulfuric acid gases).

Connecting Load to DC 2-wire Sensor

Refer to the following before using DC 2-wire Proximity Sensors.
Surge Protection
Although the Proximity Sensor has a surge absorption circuit, if
there is any machine that has a large surge current (e.g., a motor or
welding machine) near the Proximity Sensor, connect a surge suppressor to the machine.

Cable Extension
Standard cable length is less than 200 m.
The tractive force is 50 N.

Leakage Current
When the Proximity Sensor is OFF, the Proximity Sensor has leakage current. In this case, the load is imposed with a small voltage
and the load may not be reset. Before using the Proximity Sensor,
make sure that this voltage is less than the load reset voltage.
Countermeasures Against Leakage Current
Connect a bleeder resistor as the bypass for the leakage current so
that the current flowing into the load will be less than the load reset
current.
Load

Bleeder resistor R

VS

Refer to the following to calculate the bleeder resistance and the allowable power of the bleeder resistor.
R x VS/(iR iOFF) (k)
P > VS2/R (mW)
P: The allowable power of the bleeder resistor. (The actual power
capacity of the bleeder resistor must be at least a few times
larger than the allowable power of the bleeder resistor.)
iR: Leakage current of the Proximity Sensor (mA)
iOFF: Load reset current (mA)
It is recommended that 15 k max./450 mW min. for 12 VDC and
30 k max./0.1 W min. for 24 VDC be used.
Inrush Current
A load that has a large inrush current (e.g., a lamp or motor) will
damage the Proximity Sensor, in which case connect the load to the
Proximity Sensor through a relay.
