Precautions 

## ~~Po~~ ! Caution 

## Power supply 

Do not impose an exessive voltage on the E2Q2, otherwise it may explode or burn. 

Do not connect an AC power supply to any DC model. If AC power (100 VAC or more) is supplied to the sensor, it may explode or burn.

## Mutual Interference 

If more than one Sensor is located in parallel, ensure to maintain enough space between adjacent Sensors to suppress mutual interference as provided in the following diagram.

## Power Reset Time 

Be sure to abide by the following precautions for the safe operation of the Sensor. 

The Sensor is ready to operate within 300 ms after the Sensor is turned ON. If the load and Sensor are connected to independent power supplies respectively, be sure to turn ON the Sensor before supplying power to the load. 

## Wiring 

Power Supply Voltage and Output Load Power Supply Voltage 

Make sure that the power supply to the Sensor is within the rated voltage range. If a voltage exceeding the rated voltage range is supplied to the Sensor, it may explode or burn. 

## 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 

## Load Short-circuiting 

Do not short-circuit the load, otherwise the Sensor may be damaged. 

## Connection without Load 

Do not connect the power supply to the Sensor with no load connected, otherwise the internal elements may explode or burn. 

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. 

## Sensing Object 

The sensing distance of the Proximity Sensor vary with the metal coating on sensing objects. 

## Wiring 

## Operating Environment 

Do not use the Sensor in locations with explosive or flammable gas. 

## Correct Use ~~Po~~ 

## Design 

High-tension cables Wiring through Metal Conduit: 

If there is 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 malfunction. 

## Effects of Surrounding Metal 

Provide a minimum distance between the Sensor and the surrounding metal as shown in the table below.

## Mounting 

## Mounting the Sensor 

The Proximity Sensor must be subjected to excessive shock with a hammer when it is installed, otherwise the Proximity Sensor may be damaged or lose its water-resistivity. 

## Environment 

## Water Resistivity 

Do not use the Proximity Sensor underwater, outdoors or in the rain. 

## Operating Environment 

## Maintenance and Inspection 

Periodically perform the following checks to ensure stable operation of the Proximity Sensor over a long period of time. 

- Check for mounting position, dislocation, looseness or distortion of the Proximity Sensor and sensing objects. 

- Check for loose wiring and connections, improper contacts and line breakage. 

- Check for attachment or accumulation of metal powder or dust. 

- Check for abnormal temperature conditions and other environmental conditions. 

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). 

Never disassemble or repair the Sensor. 

## Inrush Current 

A load that has a large inrush current (e.g., a lamp or motor) will damage the Proximity Snesor, in this case connect the load to the Proximity Sensor through a Relay
