JOPERATING PROCEDURE

Adjustment Steps

1. Install, wire, and turn ON the E3M-V.

2. Perform teaching (mark registration). Refer to Mark Registration (Teaching).

3. Make fine adjustments of the threshold level if necessary. Refer to Threshold Level Adjustments.

4. Check that the mode selector is set to RUN.

Mark Registration (Teaching)

Refer to the following for ideal teaching.

Application

The base has a

color pattern. The

mark and base are

clearly different in

color.

The base has no

color pattern. The

mark and base are

slightly different in

color.

The base has no

color pattern.

Remote teaching

with no positioning

is desired.

One-point teaching Two-points

teaching

Auto-teaching

The default level is

set and the output

is ON when the

mark is detected.

The threshold level

is set between the

color of the mark

and base. The

output is ON when

the mark is

detected.

The threshold level

is set between

color of the mark

and base. The

output is ON when

the mark (i.e., the

color with shorter

passing time) is

detected.

Refer to the following for each teaching method. Remote one- or

two-point teaching is possible. Refer to Remote Control Function.

One-point Teaching

1Set the mode selector to TEACH.

2Locate the mark to the sensing position and press the SET

button. Then all the red threshold indicators are ON.

3Set the mode selector to RUN. The output will be ON

whenever the set mark is detected.

Note: By teaching on the base, reversed output as shown above

(base: ON, mark: OFF) can be obtained.

Two-point Teaching

1Set the mode selector to TEACH.

2Locate the mark to the sensing position and press the SET

button. All the red threshold indicators will turn ON.

4If teaching is successful, set the mode selector to RUN to

complete the teaching operation. If teaching is

unsuccessful, restart from the above step 2.

Note: Follow the above steps so that the output will be turned

ON whenever the mark is detected. By taking the opposite

steps, the output will be turned OFF whenever the mark is

detected and turned ON whenever the base is detected.

JADJUSTMENT STEPS

Auto-teaching

1. Check that the mode selector is set to either RUN or ADJUST.

2. Input a 0.9-s pulse signal into the remote control I/O terminal. (See Note.)

3. Auto-teaching starts when the mark is moved. When the mark passes six times, auto-teaching completes.

•If teaching is successful, answer-back output from the remote control I/O terminal will turn ON for 0.3 s.

•If teaching is unsuccessful, no answer-back signal will be output. Readjust using two-point teaching.

(Teaching will be unsuccessful if there is no difference in incident between the mark and base.)

4. If the answer-back signal is ON, the whole teaching operation will be completed. The output will be turned ON whenever the mark

(i.e., the color with shorter passing time) is detected.

Note: Make sure that the input tolerance of each pulse is within ±0.1 s.

Precautions when Using Automatic Teaching

Incorrect discrimination may be caused by automatic teaching in

the following cases. Use one-point or two-point teaching in such

cases.

•Color patterns exist in the base.

•Sensing objects change their positions.

•Sensing objects have protrusions or surface level differences.

Threshold Level Adjustments

It is possible to make fine adjustments of the threshold level after

teaching. Such fine adjustments can be made remotely as well.

Refer to Remote Control Function.

1Set the mode selector to ADJUST.

2Select the upper or lower threshold setting with the thresh-

old selector. Whenever the SET button is pressed, the

threshold level will move. Two indicators will be lit together

when the threshold level is an even level.

The threshold level increases.

The threshold level decreases.

E3M-VE3M-V

Detection Level Indicator

The control output of the E3M-V will be turned ON if the detection

level exceeds the threshold level. The indication of the detection

level varies with the teaching method.

One-point Teaching

The upper and lower threshold values are set on the basis of the

mark and the detection level indicators indicate the degree of

color conformity to the mark’s color.

The input of any of the signals listed in the following table into the

remote control I/O terminal allows remote control of the E3M-V.

When the signal is accepted, answer-back output will be turned

ON for 0.3 s. Only in the case of one-point teaching, however,

Precautions

JSAFETY

Observe the following precautions to ensure safety.

•Do not use the Sensor in locations subject to flammable or

explosive gases.

•Do not use the Sensor in water or conductive solution.

•Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the Sensor.

•Use the Sensor under proper power supply specifications

such as the use of AC or DC power supply.

•Do not apply any voltage or current exceeding the rated level.

•Be careful with the power supply polarities and wire correctly.

•Connect the loads correctly.

•Do not short-circuit both ends of loads.

JINSTALLATION AND USE

Power Reset Time

Since the E3M-V is ready to detect objects from 100 ms max.

after the E3M-V is turned ON, operate the remaining devices

100 ms after the Sensor is turned ON. If power is supplied to the

E3M-V and the load independently, be sure to turn on the E3M-V

first.

Power OFF

The E3M-V may output a single pulse when the control power

supply is turned OFF. If the E3M-V is connected to a timer or

counter to which power is supplied from an independent power

supply, the E3M-V will be more likely to output a single pulse

when the control power supply is turned OFF. For this reason,

supply power to the timer or counter from the same power supply

for the E3M-V.

Power Supply Type

Supply voltage ripple must not exceed rated percentage.

Power Supply Connection

Be sure to ground the FG (frame ground) and G (ground)

terminals if a switching regulator is connected to the E3M-V to

avoid malfunction due to the switching noise of the switching

regulator.

JWIRING

Cable

•The cable can be extended up to 100 m provided that the

thickness of the cable is 0.3 mm2minimum.

•The cable must not be bent repeatedly.

•Do not pull cables with pulling forces exceeding 50N

(11.24 lb).

High-tension Lines

To avoid damage and malfunctioning due to induction noise, wire

sensor power lines in a separate conduit from any power lines or

high tension lines.

JMOUNTING

Screw Tightening

Make sure that the casing is tightened to a maximum torque of

1.2 N Sm.

Mounting Direction

When Sensors are mounted to face each other, make sure to

adjust the optical axes to avoid mutual interference.

JEEPROM WRITE ERROR

An EEPROM error may result if power supply to the Sensor fails

or the Sensor is influenced by static noise, and the threshold

level indicators will flash. Perform the teaching and threshold

level setting of the E3M-V again.

JM12 METAL CONNECTOR

•Turn off the E3M-V before connecting or disconnecting the

metal connector.

•Make sure to hold the connector cover when connecting or

disconnecting the metal connector.

•Tighten the metal connector securely by hand. To avoid dam-

age, do not use any tool, such as pliers.

•If the metal connector is not tightened securely, it may be

disconnected by vibration, and the proper degree of protec-

tion of the E3M-V may not be maintained.
