●Mounting

Mounting the Sensor

When mounting a Sensor, do not tap it with a hammer or otherwise

subject it to excessive shock. This will weaken water resistance and

may damage the Sensor. If the Sensor is being secured with bolts,

observe the allowable tightening torque. Some models require the

use of toothed washers.

For details, refer to the mounting precautions in Precautions for

Correct Use in individual product information.

Mounting/Removing Using DIN Track

(Example for E2CY)

<Mounting>

(1)Insert the front of the Sensor into the special Mounting Bracket

(included) or DIN Track.

(2)Press the rear of the Sensor into the special Mounting Bracket or

DIN Track.

• When mounting the side of the Sensor using the special Mounting

Bracket, first secure the Amplifier Unit to the special Mounting

Bracket, and then mount the special Mounting Bracket with M3

screws and flat washers with a diameter of 6 mm maximum.

<Removing>

• While pressing the Amplifier Unit in the direction of (3), lift the fiber

plug in the direction of (4) for easy removal without a screwdriver.

Set Distance

The sensing distance may vary due to fluctuations in temperature and

voltage. When mounting the Sensor, it is recommend that installation

be based on the set distance.
