JDISPLAY AND SPECIAL FUNCTION SETTINGS
Display Setting
The E3X-DA-N offers three display modes, which are Digital Incident Level display, Digital Percent display and Analog display.
•Digital Incident Level Display: the incident level is digitally displayed.
•Digital Percent Display: the threshold-based excess gain is displayed in percentage.
•Analog Display: threshold and excess gain is displayed by two-color (red and green) bar graph.
Special Function Setting
The E3X-DA-N series has various functions that give users more flexibility in meeting a variety of application requirements.
•Sensing Function: Enables users to choose either standard sensing distance mode, long sensing distance mode
or high speed mode
•Timer Function: Enables users to select various OFF-delay timer settings from 0 to 20 ms (set in 1 ms increments) and from 20 to
200 ms (set in 5 ms increments). OFF-delay timer lengthens the duration of a short, high-speed signal so that it can be recognized as
input to Programmable Controllers during a scan cycle.
•Flashing Function: Flashing red LED allows easier optical axis adjustment.
•Display Hold Setting: This function provides easy data reading during optical axis adjustment and high-speed detection by holding
the displayed value for a period of time. Displayed data gets updated every 2 seconds. Within the 2-second time frame, the maximum
or minimum value is displayed (data will be flashing).
•Display Orientation Setting: Reversible digital display provides easy data reading from any mounting orientation.
•Zero reset: When activated, this function sets the incident
level digital display to zero. This enables operators to easily
monitor the difference between the maximum incident level
and the minimum incident level.
•Initial reset: Enables users to easily program the amplifier
back to the default (factory) settings.
•Monitor focus: This feature is available on analog/digital
output models. Without “monitor focus”, the E3X-DA-N has to
analyze an incident level range of 0 to 4095 to process a 1 to
5 VDC analog output. With the “monitor focus”function, the
E3X-DA-N can narrow the range of the incident level to pro-
cess a 1 to 5 VDC analog input by defining an upper and
lower limit of the incident level. As as result, the sensor’s
resolution is increased.

JTEACHING FUNCTIONS
Four teaching methods are available to simplify setup and to allow changes in settings on the fly. The E3X-DA-N offers a new feature,
“pinpoint teaching”for positioning
Teaching function Application Description
Maximum sensitivity setting Use this function for sensing objects without backgrounds or through–
beam sensing. It is ideal for detecting large objects.
Two-point teaching with or without
object Minute level differences as thin as a piece of paper can be detected. Detection of semi-transparent objects or the discrimination of object color
is also possible.
One-point teaching without object Set the sensitivity without stopping objects. This function allows automat-
ic detection of differences between objects and the background. Use it to
detect small moving items or thin objects such as gold wire.
Pinpoint teaching for positioning Allows high precision positioning when detecting electronic components
and other small items.

Note: 1. Various output boards are available for
the K3NX. Select an appropriate output
type per application requirements.
2. For details about the K3NX, refer to the
K3NX Data Sheet in Omron’s Digital

JMOUNTING
Joining Amplifier Units
1. Mount the Amplifier Units one at at time onto the DIN rail.
2. Line up the clips and slide the Amplifier Units together, and
then press the units together until they click into place.
Clip Click into place
Separating Amplifier Units
Slide Amplifier Units away from each other, and remove from the
DIN rail one at a time. (Do not attempt to remove Amplifier Units
from the DIN rail without separating them first.)
Note: 1. The specifications for ambient temperature will vary
according to the number of Amplifier Units used
together. For details, refer to Ratings/Characteristics.
2. Always turn OFF the power supply before joining or
separating Amplifier Units.
Mounting the Optical Communication Head
Allow 20 mm (0.79 in) of space to mount the Optical
Communication Head on the DIN rail between a cabinet wall and
the first Amplifier Unit. For proper operation, position the Optical
Communication Head close to the nearest Amplifier Unit, so
there is less than a 5 mm (0.20 in) gap.
Allow 20 mm (0.79 in) to mount the Optical
Communication Head on DIN rail.
Mounting
1. Mount the front part of the Amplifier Unit onto mounting
bracket E39-L143 (included) or onto DIN rail.
2. Press the back part onto the mounting bracket or onto the
DIN rail.
(1) (2)
DIN rail
Removal
Pull the lock tab of the Amplifier Unit with a flat blade screwdriver
in direction (3) and lift the fiber insertion part in direction (4) as
shown below.
(4)
(3)
DIN rail
In the case of side mounting, attach the E39-L143 mounting
bracket on the Amplifier Unit first, and secure the Amplifier Unit
with M3 screws and washers. The diameter of the washers
should be no more than 6 mm.
