HSENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
Item Position A Position B and C Setting
Adjustment
procedure
Place the detected object at the
desired location and turn the
adjustment knob clockwise until the
LIGHT indicator (orange) lights. This
is position A.
Background Object
Remove the detected object and turn the
adjustment knob clockwise until the LIGHT
indicator (orange) lights. This is position B.
Then turn the adjustment knob
counterclockwise until the LIGHT indicator
(orange) goes out. This is position C.
No Background Object
The maximum adjustment setting is used
as position C.
Set the adjustment to halfway
between A and C. Confirm that the
STAB indicator (green) remains lit
both with the detected object
present and not present. If the
STAB indicator does not remain lit,
reconsider the detection method to
enable stable operation.

Precautions
HCONNECTION
To avoid malfunction or damage, do not wire the input/output lines
within the same conduit with power lines or high voltage lines.
The cord connected to the Sensor can be extended up to 100 m pro-
vided that the diameter of each wire of the cord is 0.3 mm2minimum.
HPOWER SUPPLY
If a standard switching regulator is used as a power supply, the
frame ground (FG) terminal and the ground (G) terminal must be
grounded, otherwise the Sensor may malfunction due to the switch-
ing noise of the power supply.
HSTARTUP OPERATION
A maximum of 100 ms is required from the time power is turned on
until the E3S-CL is able to detect objects. If power is supplied to the
loads and the E3S-CL from different sources, turn on power to the
E3S-CL first.
HWATER RESISTANCE
To ensure the water resistance of the E3S-CL, tighten the screws of
the operation panel cover to a torque of 2.5 to 5.0 kgf Scm (0.25 N S
mto0.49NSm).
HOIL AND CHEMICAL RESISTANCE (E3S-CL2)

Note: 1. The E3S-CL2 maintained a minimum insulation resistance of 100 M$after the E3S-CL2 was dipped in all the above oils at a
temperature of 50!C for 240 hours.
2. When using the E3S-CL2 in a place where an oil other than the ones listed above is sprayed on the E3S-CL2, refer to the
above kinematic viscosity and ph values. The location may be suitable for the E3S-CL2 if the kinematic viscosity and pH values
of the oil are close to the above kinematic viscosity and pH values, but make sure that the oil does not contain any additive that
may have a negative influence on the E3S-CL2.
HCABLE
The E3S-CL2 uses an oil-resistant cord to ensure oil resistivity.
Do not allow the cable to be repeatedly bent during application.
Do not allow the cable to be bent to a radius of less than 25 mm.
HMALFUNCTIONING
If an inverter motor or servomotor is used with the E3S-CL, the
frame ground (FG) terminal and the ground (G) terminal must be
grounded, otherwise the Sensor may malfunction.
E3S-CL E3S-CL
HMOUNTING
Mounting Direction
Mount the Sensor so that the detection face runs parallel to the sur-
face of the object being detected and not at an angle (see below).
Detection face
Surface of object de-
tected
If detecting a shiny object, mount the Sensor so that the detection
face is at an angle of between 5_and 10_of the surface of the object
being detected. Check to be sure that there is no interference from
the background (see below).
Shiny object
If stable operation is not possible near a mirror surface, mount the
Sensor at an angle as shown below, and separate the Sensor as far
as possible from the mirror surface.
Detected object
Mirror surface
Mount the Sensor so that it is not aligned with the direction of move-
ment of the detected object, as shown below.
Mount the Sensor so that it is not aligned with extreme changes in
color or materials, as shown below.

Mount the Sensor so that sunlight, fluorescent light, incandescent
light, or other strong sources of light do not enter the directional
angle of the Sensor.
Precautions
When mounting the Sensor, do not hit the Sensor with a hammer, or
any other object. This will cause the Sensor to lose its watertight-
ness.
Use M4 screws to mount the Sensor.
The tightening torque of each screw must be 12 kgf Sm (1.18 N Sm)
maximum.
Direct Mounting
Mount the Sensor as shown in the following illustration.

WARNING
The E3S-CL is not a safety component for ensuring the safety
of people which is defined in EC directive (91/368/EEC) and
covered by separate European standards or by any other reg-
ulations or standards.
