Classification Function

Linear output An analog 4 to 20 mA output signal proportional to the distance from the target to the face of the sensor

within the range of the 4 mA linear setpoint to the 20 mA setpoint.

Switching output A 100 mA, 40 VDC rated transistor output (separate power source required) adjustable within the range of the

4 mA linear setpoint and 20 mA linear setpoint.

Power ON Red LED illuminated when amplifier is connected to power source and energized.

Operation Red LED illuminated when the target is present within the range from the minimum sensing distance to the

target setpoint distance.

Span Green LED illuminated when the target is present within the range of the 4 mA linear setpoint and the 20 mA

linear setpoint.

Cable length selector Set to the length of cable (3 or 5 meters) supplied on the sensor head.

switch

4 mA linear adjustment Used to set the analog output at 4 mA when the target is at 20% of the rated sensing distance.

Adjustment method 1.

20 mA linear adjustment Used to set the analog output at 20 mA when the target is at 100% of the rated sensing distance.

Adjustment method 1.

Sensitivity Used to set the target distance that turns on the switching output.

Mode selector switch Determines the logic of the switching output circuit. In the NO position, the target turns on when the target is

present between the minimum sensing distance and the target setpoint distance. In the NC position, the

switching output turns on when the target is beyond the target setpoint distance.

■LINEAR OUTPUT ADJUSTMENTS

Choose one of the two adjustment methods for setting the

LINEARITY adjuster. Adjustment of the 4 mA and

20 mA LINEARITY adjusters must be performed with the

standard target at positions of 20% and 100% of the rated

detecting distance away from the sensor.

Linearity Adjustment Method 1

1. Connect an ammeter across terminals 1 and 2. The

illustration shows the sensor connected to an amplifier

through socket P2CF-11.

2. Place the standard target at 20% of the rated detecting

distance away from the sensor unit.

3. Turn the 4 mA LINEARITY adjuster slowly clockwise (to

increase the output current) or counterclockwise (to

decrease the output current). Set the adjuster to a position

that reads 4 mA output on the ammeter.

4. Place the standard target at the rated detecting distance.

5. Turn the 20 mA LINEARITY adjuster slowly clockwise (to

increase the output current) or counterclockwise (to

decrease the output current). Set the adjuster to a position

that reads 20 mA output on the ammeter.

6. To fine tune the adjustment accuracy of the output current,

repeat the adjustment steps for 4 mA and 20 mA

LINEARITY adjusters.

Linearity Adjustment Method 2

1. Set the standard target at 20% of the rated detecting

distance away from the sensor.

2. Turn the 4 mA LINEARITY adjuster counterclockwise so that

the SPAN indicator remains OFF. Then slowly turn the

adjuster clockwise until the indicator illuminates. Stop

turning the adjuster at the position where the SPAN

indicator illuminates.

3. Set the standard target at the rated detecting distance away

from the sensor.

4. Slowly turn the 20 mA LINEARITY adjuster clockwise until

the SPAN indicator goes OFF. Then tur n the adjuster

counterclockwise until the indicator illuminates. Stop turning

the adjuster when the SPAN indicator illuminates.

■SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENTS

0.8

Place the standard target at the specified position. If the target

moves in parallel with the surface of the sensor unit, make the

adjustment after determining the position using the following

procedure.

1. Adjust the linear output according to Adjustment Method 1

or 2.

2. Calculate detecting distance X using the following formula:

X = S = setting distance

3. Adjust the distance between the sensor and the object to

be detected to distance X.

Slowly turn the SENSITIVITY adjuster clockwise (toward HIGH)

and stop turning when the OPER. indicator illuminates. Move

the target to confirm that the OPER. indicator illuminates when

the object to be detected is at the specified position and that

the indicator goes OFF when the target is moved away from

that position.

If the target moves in parallel with the surface of the sensor

unit, place the sensor at distance S.

E2CAE2CA

The output transistor turns ON when the

target is detected.

The output transistor turns ON when the

target is not being detected.

Track-Mount Installation Using P2CF-11 Socket

The P2CF-11 socket has two hooks that secure the E2CA

amplifier to the socket. Be sure to allow at least 20 mm (0.79

in) clearance above and below the socket to gain access and

to release the hooks for servicing and maintenance. The

P2CF-11 socket may also be used for surface mounting the

amplifier using the two through holes.

Panel-Mount Installation Using Y92F-30 Adapter and P3GA-11 Socket

Insert the E2CA amplifier through the panel cutout. Push the

Y92F-30 adapter from the rear of the amplifier as far forward

toward the panel as possible. Then tighten the two retaining

screws. Wire the P3GA-11 socket, then push it onto the rear

of the amplifier. To release the adapter, lift the tab at the rear

of the adapter.

Several E2CA amplifiers may be panel mounted close

together using Y92F-30 adapter as shown here. When

mounting two or more amplifiers in a vertical line, arrange the

adapters so that their molded tabs are positioned on the right

and left sides. When mounting two or more amplifiers in a

horizontal line, arrange the adapters so that their molded tabs

are positioned on the top and bottom sides.
