All key operations can be disabled to help prevent key operating errors.
Only the operation keys are disabled. The switches and selectors will still function.

This procedure can be used to return all the settings to the original default values.

Mounting Units

Catch the hook on the Sensor Head connector end 
of the Unit on the DIN Track and then press down 
on the other end of the Unit until it locks into place.

Always attach the Sensor Head connector end first. 
If the incorrect end is attached first, the mounting
strength will be reduced.

Removing Units

Press the Unit in the direction indicated by "1" 
and then lift up on the Sensor Head connector 
end of the Unit in the direction indicated by "2"

Mounting Amplifier Units in Group (Connector Type Models/Communication Unit 
Connection Type Models)

Up to 16 connector type models can be connected. Up to 30 communication unit
connection type models can be connected to the communication unit
E3X-ECT, or 16 units to the E3X-CRT.
1. Mount the Amplifier Units one at a time onto the DIN Track.
2. Slide the Amplifier Units together and press the Amplifier 
    Units together until they click into place.

Secure the Units with an End Plate (PFP-M) if there is a 
possibility of the Amplifier Units moving, e.g., due to vibration.

Reverse the above procedure to separate and remove the 
Units. Do not attempt to remove Amplifier Units from the 
DIN Track without separating them first.

while pressing on the lock button.

The function of the output for channel 2 can be selected.
This setting is not value if DIFF (differential operation) 
is set for the detection method. (The output for channel
2 is always an alarm output for differential operation.)

Self-diagnosis output

Output when the detection level 

is not stable, i.e., when the detection 

level is ±10% of the threshold value 

for 300 ms or longer.
Disconnection output

A disconnection output is outputted, 

when the Sensor Head is 

disconnected, or it does not connect.

Automatic teaching

The maximum and minimum detection

 levels are sampled while the input is ON and, 

when the input turns OFF, the average of these 

values is set as the threshold value.

Disabled if the detection function is set to 

"DIFF" (differential operation).

The information displayed in RUN mode can be selected. 
When going to SET mode, this setting will be ignored and 
the detection level and threshold value will be displayed.

Whether external input execution results are written 
to EEPROM can be selected.
Disable this function if the external input is turned 
ON frequently. (The write life is approximately 100,000 
writes.)

Hold down the MODE key and 
press the UP key for at least 3 
seconds. Press the UP key right 
after pressing the MODE key. 

Hold down the MODE key 
and press the UP key for at
