High-Precision Fiber-optic Amplifier

E3X-NH

The E3X-NH Employs a 16-Bit

Processor as

An Industry First

H

An Automatic Sensitivity Adjustment
feature allows stable detection of
objects in frequently changing
environments

H

Three teach modes for optimal sensing

H

8-point scaled sensitivity meter is ideal

for high precision sensing and

through-beam applications at long

distances (and clearly displays a

target’s reflectivity level)

H

A manual fine tuning sensitivity feature

allows 13 threshold adjustments using

an easy-to-read digital scale

H

Ideal for detecting small objects or fine

wires
