## Operation
## Sensitivity adjustment
## E3H2-T4
The emitter of the E3H2-T4 allows an adjustment of the emitted amount of light by turning the potentiometer. Turn the potentiometer clockwise for increasing the amount of emitted light and counter-clockwise for decreasing the amount of emitted light.
## E3H2-R2
- a) standard mode To teach the retro-reflective model E3H2-R, place the sensor with the lens facing the reflector. Press the teach button for 2- 5 seconds. For remote teach connect the white wire (Pin 2) for 2-5 seconds to common (-).
- The threshold is now set to 50% of the received light level.
- b) high sensitivity mode (e.g. for semi-transparent models) To teach the retro-reflective model E3H2-R in high sensitivity mode, place the sensor with the lens facing the reflector. Press the teach button for >8 seconds. For remote teach connect the white wire (Pin 2) for >8 seconds to common (-). The threshold is now set just below the received light level.
If the teaching was successful the LED should no longer be flashing and a state change occurs when the light is interrupted.
## E3H2-DS30
- a) standard mode To teach the diffuse-reflective model E3H2-DS30, place the object in front of the sensor at the required sensing distance. Press the teach button for 2-5 seconds. For remote teach connect the white wire (Pin 2) for 2-5 seconds to common (-). The threshold is now set to 50% of the received light level. When the object is removed, a state change at the sensor should occur. If this is not the case the high sensitivity mode may be required.
## Operation mode selection
The light-on / dark-on operation mode can be selected by wire (except for E3H2-T2). The white wire (Pin 2) can be connected to plus (+), common (-) or left open (not connected) for the default setting.
|a)|E3H2-T4 Receiver||
|---|---|---|
||Default setting (wire left open):DARK-ON||
||Connected to plus (+):|LIGHT-ON|
||Connected to common (-):|DARK-ON|
|b)|E3H2-R2||
||Default setting (wire left open):DARK-ON||
||Connected to plus (+):<br>Connected to common (-):|LIGHT-ON<br>TEACH*1|
|c)|E3H2-DS30||
||Default setting (wire left open):LIGHT-ON||
||Connected to plus (+):<br>Connected to common (-):|DARK-ON<br>TEACH*1|
|d)|E3H2-DS10||
||Default setting (wire left open):LIGHT-ON||
||Connected to plus (+):|DARK-ON|
||Connected to common (-):|LIGHT-ON|
For E3H2-T2 the operation mode is fixed and models with lighton and dark-on operation are available.
- *1 In case the remote teach operation is required when the white wire is connected to plus (+), add a 2.2 k resistor between the white wire and (+) to avoid a short circuit.
- b) high sensitivity mode To teach the diffuse-reflective model E3H2-DS30 in high sensitivity mode, place the object in front of the sensor at the required sensing distance. Press the teach button for >8 seconds. For remote teach connect the white wire (Pin 2) for >8 seconds to common (-).
The threshold is now set just below the received light level. When the object is removed, a state change at the sensor should occur and the LED should no longer be flashing.
For E3H2-T2 and E3H2-DS10 the sensitivity setting is fixed.

## Safety precautions
## ! Warning
This product is not designed or rated for directly or indirectly ensuring safety of persons. Do not use it for such a purpose.
**==> picture [33 x 33] intentionally omitted <==**
Connect the sensor as per the connection diagram, in case of abnormal functioning, check the correct connection.
## ! Caution
Do not use the product with voltage in excess of the rated voltage. Excess voltage may result in malfunction or fire.
Never use the product with an AC power supply. Otherwise, explosion may result.
## Precautions for Correct Use
Do not use the Sensor in any atmosphere or environment that exceeds the ratings.
Do not install the Sensor in the following locations.
- (1)Locations subject to direct sunlight
- (2)Locations subject to condensation due to high humidity
- (3)Locations subject to corrosive gas
- (4)Locations where the Sensor may receive direct vibration or shock
## Connecting and Mounting
- (1)The maximum power supply voltage is 30 VDC. Before turning the power ON, make sure that the power supply voltage does not exceed the maximum voltage.
- (2)Laying Sensor wiring in the same conduit or duct as high-voltage wires or power lines may result in malfunction or damage due to induction. As a general rule, wire the Sensor in a separate conduit or use shielded cable.
- (3)Use an extension cable with a minimum thickness of 1 mm[2] and less than 100 m long.
When cleaning the product, do not apply a high-pressure spray of water to one part of the product. Otherwise, parts may become damaged and the degree of protection may be degraded.
High-temperature environments may result in burn injury.
- (4)Do not pull on the cable with excessive force.
- (5)Pounding the Photoelectric Sensor with a hammer or other tool during mounting will impair water resistance.
- (6)Mount the Sensor either using the bracket (sold separately) or on a flat surface.
- (7)Be sure to turn OFF the power supply before inserting or removing the connector.
## Cleaning
## Precautions for Safe Use
The following precautions must be observed to ensure safe operation of the Sensor.
## Operating Environment
Do not use the Sensor in an environment where explosive or flammable gas is present.
## Connecting Connectors
Be sure to hold the connector cover when inserting or removing the connector. Be sure to tighten the connector lock by hand; do not use pliers or other tools. If the tightening is insufficient, the degree of protection will not be maintained and the Sensor may become loose due to vibration. The appropriate tightening torque is 0.4 to 0.5 N·m for M12 connectors and 0.3 Nm for M8 connectors.
## Load
Do not use a load that exceeds the rated load.
## Environements with Cleaners and Disinfectants
Do not use the Sensor in environments subject to cleaners and disifectants. They may reduce the degree of protection.
Never use thinner or other solvents. Otherwise, the Sensor surface may be dissolved.
## Power Supply
If a commercial switching regulator is used, ground the FG (frame ground) terminal.
## Power Supply Reset Time
The Sensor will be able to detect objects 150 ms after the power supply is tuned ON. Start using the Sensor 150 ms or more after turning ON the power supply. If the load and the Sensor are connected to separate power supplies, be sure to turn ON the Sensor first.
## Turning OFF the Power Supply
Output pulses may be generated even when the power supply is OFF. Therefore, it is recommended to first turn OFF the power supply for the load or the load line.
## Load Short-circuit Protection
This Sensor is equipped with load short-circuit protection, but be sure to not short circuit the load. Be sure to not use an output current flow that exceeds the rated current.
## Water Resistance
Do not use the Sensor in water, rainfall, or outdoors.
## Modifications
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the Sensor. Outdoor Use
Do not use the Sensor in locations subject to direct sunlight. Cleaning
Do not use thinner, alcohol, or other organic solvents. Otherwise, the optical properties and degree of protection may be degraded. Surface Temperature
Burn injury may occur. The Sensor surface temperature rises depending on application conditions, such as the surrounding temperature and the power supply voltage. Use caution when operating or washing the Sensor.
