Distance setting photoelectric sensor in metal housing
E3S-CL
• High water, oil and detergent resistance
• Minimal black/white error for highest
reliability detecting different colored
objects (E3S-CL1)
Features
E3S-CL
Eliminates Background Influences with a
Hysteresis of Only 2% max. (E3S-CL1)
The hysteresis is the industry's minimum 2% max. (E3S-CL1).
As a triangulation measuring is used, objects behind the setting distance cannot be detected. The sensor is insensitive to
the influence of background objects of high reflectivity, and
stable detects works on a conveyor from above. The hysteresis of the E3S-CL2 is 10% max. of the detecting distance (5%
max. for white paper).
What Is Distance Setting?
(Differences from other detecting system)
Distance-setting
When the sensing object moves in direction A, the center position
of the reflected light moves in direction B. This is received by the
Fea-
tures
Struc-
Diffuse-reflective
Fea-

Struc-
2-split photodiode and the place where the incident levels are the
same on the N and F sides is defined as the setting distance.
The object is detected by the incident circuit processing only when
N F, and is not detected when N F. Therefore, detection is stable
without being influenced by the work type and background objects.

Detecting range
Since the level of the reflected light is judged for detection , the
sensing distance varies with the color, material and/or size of the
work.
A malfunction may occur if there is any object of high reflectivity in
the background.

Place a sensing object in the predetermined
position, turn the adjuster clockwise until the
incident indicator (orange) is turned ON, and
define this position as (A).
(1) If there is a background object, remove the
sensing object, turn the adjuster further
clockwise until the incident indicator (orange) is turned ON, and define this position as (B). Turn the adjuster counterclockwise from (B) until the incident indicator
(orange) is turned OFF, and define this position as (C).
(2) If there is no background object, define the
maximum adjuster position (Max) as (C).
Set the adjuster in the middle of positions (A)
and (C). Also make sure that the stability indicator (green) is turned ON when there is an
object and when there is no object. When the
indicator is not turned ON, reexamine the detection method since there is a little allowance.
• Install the photoelectric sensor in either of the following orientations, being careful of the direction in which the sensing
object will move.
Installation
Sensor installation
Mounting orientation
• Install the photoelectric sensor in
such manner that its detection
surface and the object surface
are parallel (without inclination
Sensing surface
relative to the sensing object).
Sensing object surface
If the sensing object has a
glossy surface, incline the Sensor by 5° to 10° as shown on the
right. In this case, ensure that
the Sensor is not influenced by
Glossy object
any background objects.
• If there is a mirror-smooth object under the photoelectric
sensor, operation may become instable. Therefore, incline
the photoelectric sensor as shown below or move it away
from the object.

• Also, when the color/material of the sensing object varies
extremely, install the photoelectric sensor in either of the
following orientations.
Movement direction
Movement direction
• Install the photoelectric sensor so that the sun, fluorescent
lamp, incandescent lamp or any other strong light will not
enter the directional angle range of the sensor.
Mounting Precautions
• Do not strike the Photoelectric Sensor with a hammer or
any other tool during the installation of the Sensor, or the
Sensor will loose its water-resistive properties.
• Use M4 screws.
• Tighten the screws to the torque of 1.2 Nm max.

Oil resistance/chemical resistance (E3S-CL2)
For the oil resistance ofE3S-CL2, the Sensor has passed
tests on the oils given in the following table. Refer to the table
for examining the oil to be used. Depending on the oil type,
however, the Sensor may not be able to exhibit its performance.

2 .For use in the environment where E3S-C is exposed to the oil other
than those in the above table, use the dynamic viscosity and PH in the
above table. Pre-check the oils since the sensor may be affected by
additives etc. in the oils.
