Precautions
When you use the photoelectric sensor in the vicinity of an
!WARN
ARNING inverter motor, be sure to connect the protective earth ground
The E3F2 Photoelectric Sensor is not a safety component for wire of the motor to earth. Failure to ground the motor may result
ensuring the safety of people which is defined in EC directive in malfunction of the sensor.
(91/368/EEC) and covered by separate European standards or When you use the photoelectric sensor at temperatures over
by any other regulations or standards. 45°C, the load current must be within the described values as
shown in the figure below.
Degree of protection
The E3F2 photoelectric sensors have a degree of protection rated 200
with IP67. In this case, the sensors have passed the OMRON
Do not connect the black wire to the brown wire without a load.
Direct connection of these wires may damage the photoelectric
sensor (AC switching type).
