Seven Convenient Display Formats
An incident level/threshold display, percentage/threshold display, and large bar graph display
have been added, so you can select the best display method for the application.
Display the peak level when light was brightest and bottom level when light was
dimmest. The digital levels of high-speed objects can be read precisely.
(Refreshing the hold level was changed from a fixed time to synchronizing with
the output, so the peak and bottom hold values can be checked with certainty.)

Industry's First Power Tuning Function in a Digital Sensor.
Settings can be made more simply and confident-
ly with two digital displays. For example, the
threshold value can be changed while reading the
incident level or a setting can be changed while
confirming the setting's function item number.
The displays are large and easy-to-read,
despite the small case.
High-speed mode
Short-distance mode
Standard mode
Long-distance mode
Super-long-distance mode
The best mode for each application was
selected from several power modes.
The Sensor can be used immediately without
setting the mode.
If the incident light level is too high or too low,
just press the Mode key to achieve the optimum
status.
Change the threshold level while read-
ing the incident level.
Verify the difference between the inci-
dent level and threshold level while set-
ting the threshold level.
Check the incident level intuitively. Ideal
when it is better to view an analog dis-
play instead of the actual digital level.
Incident level Peak hold
Simultaneously display the peak hold level and
present incident level. The optical axis can be
adjusted more easily and surely by checking the
peak hold level while adjusting the optical axis.

Troublesome power adjustments have been eliminated, so it isn't necessary
to select from power mode settings, such as long-distance mode, standard
mode, and short-distance mode. When the MODE Key is pressed once, the
power tuning function shifts the power level so that the present incident level
is set to the ideal level (2000 on the digital display.)
Insufficient light or saturation at short distances can be corrected.
The power tuning range is extended to the allowable limits to eliminate prob-
lems such as insufficient light or detection failures due to saturation.
If the installation distance is too short, the incident light may saturate (i.e., to
a digital incident level of 4,000), preventing detection. The power can be
tuned down to 1/25th of the default setting for stable detection even at close
range.
Variations between different Sensors can be eliminated.
Threshold levels had to be set and maintained separately for individual Sen-
sors due to variations in the digital light levels measured by each Sensor.
With power tuning, the incident level can be fine-tuned so the same thresh-
old level can be set for each Sensor in an application. Maintenance is also
simplified because it is easier to recognize measurement levels that have
shifted during operation.

Digital light levels vary due to individual
differences in the Sensors, so the
threshold levels must be set individually.
All of the Amplifiers are set to the same digi-
tal light level, so the same threshold level
can be set and maintained for the Sensors.
In addition to our unique APC circuit used in the
E3X-DA-N Amplifiers to compensate for the dete-
rioration of the LED, the E3X-DA-S uses 4-ele-
ment LEDs to counteract the deterioration of the
light-emitting elements over time and achieve the
industry's most stable long-term detection perfor-
mance.
Furthermore, the circuit is designed with excess
light capacity, so the Sensors can be used with
high stability regardless of whether the APC cir-
cuit is ON or OFF.
With the Twin-output Amplifiers, output 2 can function as an
alarm output (light level operation) to indicate when the light
level has changed due to dirt or other causes.

Provides high-speed response for miniature workpieces, such as chip parts and devices with short tact times.
Operations that required multiple Sensors, such as
height measurement, can be performed with just one
Sensor. Two threshold levels can be set to easily output
within-range and out-of-range outputs.
A counter function is built-in, so the number
of workpieces can be counted without a sep-
arate counter or small PLC that used to be
required.
Input signals can make various remote settings, such as teaching operations, power tuning, and emitter
OFF. This model is ideal for diverse needs, such as checking Sensor operation remotely before operation
or making settings remotely because teaching has to be performed often for frequent workpiece model
changes.
Fastest in the Industry
Three kinds of timer functions are supported. The timers can be set between 1 ms and 5 s.
A one-shot timer is supported in addition to the ON-delay and OFF-delay timers.
The Amplifier's ON time can be fixed, which is useful during high-speed workpiece detection.

Relay connectors are unnecessary, so wiring takes up less space.
Storage and maintenance are simpler because it isn't necessary to distin-
guish between master connector and slave connectors on the Amplifier.

In Amplifiers with Connectors, the power supply is dis-
tributed to slave connectors through a single master
connector. This design has three major advantages.
Reversible Digital Display (Reverse Mode)
The digital display can be reversed to match the
Amplifier's mounting direction.
Zero reset function immediately
resets the digital display to 0.
The zero reset function can immediately reset the
digital display to 0 at any time. By setting the ref-
erence value to 0, the threshold value can be set
while monitoring differences in incident light lev-
els. The threshold value will also shift simultane-
ously when the zero reset button is pressed.
The E3X-DA-S uses OMRON's own
simplified wiring connectors that
were introduced with the E3X-DA-N.

With the group power tuning function, power tuning is possible
for multiple Sensors at the same time.
Settings can be customized for different applications by locking
out unnecessary function blocks within function settings.
Settings, teaching, and fine-tuning
can be performed at the fiber tip.
The Mobile Console can be used for settings and teaching at
the tip of the fiber. Difficult adjustments can be made while
checking the workpiece position.
Even if the Amplifier and Sensor head are separated during
operation, it is still possible to flash the Sensor head and dis-
play the amplifier channels.
With Group Teaching, Teach Multiple
Amplifiers Simultaneously.
The tedious teaching that had to be performed separately for
each Amplifier can now be performed for several Amplifiers at
once using the Mobile Console.
Copying Settings within the Same Group
Settings such as mode or threshold settings in an Amplifier or
bank can be copied to all of the Amplifiers in the same group.
Copying Settings to Other Groups
The settings for a group of Amplifiers on one machine can be
copied to a group of Amplifiers on another machine.
(The settings can also be copied to and from banks.)

New Models That Counteract the Decline
in Operating Rates Caused by Dust and Dirt
A unique OMRON algorithm has been used that can determine whether
changes have been caused by dust and dirt or by differences in
workpieces.
The threshold value is automatically adjusted by the Sensor according
to changes to increase equipment operating rates by reducing sensing
errors. This is particularly true in applications requiring high-precision
detection.
OMRON's many years of accumulated sensing technology and high-
speed digital processing techniques merge to meet onsite needs. Our
goal is high-performance sensing that provides easy, reliable application.

Limited-function Models: Simple and Easy
Some people think that digital sensors with their advanced performance
are difficult to use, so we went back to the drawing board to rethink per-
formance and functions.
Without changing basic functions like APC and digital displays, OMRON
created a Digital Fiber Sensor that can be used as easily as the familiar
sensors with sensitivity adjustment knobs.
OMRON's many years of accumulated sensing technology and high-
speed digital processing techniques merge to meet onsite needs.
Our goal is high-performance sensing that provides easy, reliable

Features
Equipped with an Industry’s First Power Tuning (Optimum Light Setting) Function
The E3X-DA-S/MDA features a Power Tuning function that optimizes
power at the press of a button.
This function easily but securely resolves saturation due to short
sensing distances or insufficient incident light due to long sensing
distances.
In addition, the response speed does not change as mode selection
has tuned the power.
Adoption of Newly Developed 4-Element LEDs and an APC (Auto Power Control) Circuit
Achieves Long-term Reliable Detection at the Highest Level in the Industry
The long-term reliable detection at the highest level in the industry is
achieved with the innovative APC circuit whose performance is
proved by E3X-DA-N series and the newly developed high-power
LEDs (4-element type) to ensure super stable, long-term LED
performance.
Stable performance is always available without the ON/OFF setting of
an APC circuit.
OMRON’s Innovative Wire-saving Connector Inherited from the E3X-DA-N
The amplifier units with connectors sup ply the power to slave
connectors via a master connector. This offers three following
advantages.

Industry Leading Two Amplifiers Loaded in a Small Body
Two amplifiers are loaded in a 10 mm-wide body.
Space usability can be approximately doubled.
In addition, approximately 40% of th e energy can be
saved.
(compared to the value per channel of the former
model)
Simpler Digital Fiber Sensors
Required performance and functions have been reviewed from basic points to improve high-performance
but hard-to-use digital models. Digital fiber sensors, used in the se nse as if using volume type sensors,
are added to the basic functions such as an APC function and digital display.
High-speed and High-resolution Analog Output Supports Wide Variety of Applications
Analog Control Output
The voltage in the range of 1 to 5 V is output according to the incident
level (digital display). Wide variety of applications is possible including
positioning control or difference detection with multiple levels.
High-speed and High Resolution
Detection modes can be switched in accordance with applications.
High-speed response of 80 µs (super-high-speed mode) supports the
positioning controls that require high-speed control.
Area Output Function Area Judgment Is
Possible
Only one sensor is enough for area judgment for height or others that
has required multiple sensors.
Setting two threshold values allows easy output inside and outside
range.
Remote Input Function Sensors Controlled from Outside
Remote settings for teaching/power tuning/light OFF are possible with input signals.
The remote input function meets the diversifying demands such as remote settings made for frequent teaching
due to level change corresponding to workpiece change or remote operation check of sensors before operation.
Equipped with an Industry's First ATC Function that Resolves Problems
at Manufacturing Sites
OMRON’s unique algorithm is equipped to
distinguish dust or dirt and the change of
workpieces. Automatic correction of threshold
values by sensors in accordance with changes
prevents malfunctions and improves the
operating rates of machines. The ATC function
is especially effective for the applications that
require high-resolution detection.

Mounting the End Plate (PFP-M)
An End Plate should be used if there is a possibility of the Amplifier
Unit moving, e.g., due to vibration. If a Mobile Console is going to be
mounted, connect the End Plate in the direction shown in the following
diagram.
Mounting the Mobile Console Head
Leave a gap of at least 20 mm between the nearest Amplifier Unit and
the Mobile Console head.
Fiber Connection
The E3X Amplifier Unit has a lock button for easy connection of the
Fiber Unit. Connect or disconnect the fibers using the following
procedures:
1. Connection
Open the protective cover, insert the fibers according to the fiber
insertion marks on the side of the Amplifier Unit, and lower the lock
lever.
Fibers with E39-F9 Attachment
Fibers That Cannot Be Free-Cut (with Sleeves)
2. Disconnecting Fibers
Remove the protective cover and raise the lock lever to pull out the
fibers.
● Adjusting
Mutual Interference Protection Function
There may be some instability in the digital display values due to light
from other sensors. If this occurs, decrease the sensitivity (i.e.,
decrease the power or increase the threshold) to perform stable
detection.
EEPROM Writing Error
If the data is not written to the EEPROM correctly due to a power
failure or static-electric noise, initialize the settings with the keys on
the Amplifier Unit. ERR/EEP will flash on the display when a writing
error has occurred.
Optical Communications
Several Amplifier Units can be slid together and used in groups. Do
not, however, slide the Amplifier Units or attempt to remove any of the
Amplifier Units during operation.
● Others
Protective Cover
Always keep the protective cover in place when using the Amplifier
Unit.
Mobile Console
Use the E3X-MC11-SV2 Mobile Console for the E3X-DA-S-series
Amplifier Units.
