 INFLUENCE OF MUTUAL INTERFERENCE

When installing two or more E3ZSs to each other, considerations must 

be made to prevent mutual interference.

Install so that any E3ZSs emit in the opposite directions (See below).

Install a light interrupting wall in between sensors.

Install the E3ZSs facing away from the one another to 

    eliminate mutual interference.

Note : When using multiple sets of E3ZSs, be sure to 

confirm that mutual interference is not occurred.

SUITABILITY FOR USE

1. Read this instruction sheet thoroughly to understand before using the 

product.

2. When used in combination with the F3SX safety controller, make 

sure that the B1 module is properly connected.

3. A load must not be shorted. A load must not be used with current 

higher than the rating. Do not apply the reversed supplied voltage.
Be sure to route the E3ZS cable separated from high-potential power 
line or through an exclusive conduit.

4. Do not remove the label (yellow) from the sensor. Doing so may 

violate the specifications.

5. Wire the cable so that it has some slack and does not prevent 

personnel or object passage.
Allow some leeway for the wires and do not tight the wires when 
connection cable to F3SX, and confirm that any cable may not block 
the movements of workers or objects.

6. Do not disassemble, repair or modify the E3ZS.

7. Be sure to dispose of the E3ZS as industrial waste.

Precautions for Safe Use

 Alert Statements

WARNING

When the single beam safety sensor model E3ZS is used as a 
safety device or a part of safety systems for ensuring safety of 
personnel, be sure to use it with the safety controller model F3SX 
series.

WARNING

If the mode selection input line of the receiver is connected to 0V, 
the output turns ON when light is interrupted (Dark ON), which no 
longer configures the safety system. Be sure to connect the mode 
selection input line to 24V DC to make the sensor output ON when 
light is incident (Light ON).

Always maintain a safe distance between the E3ZS and a 
hazardous part of a machine. Be sure to refer to the related 
standards (EN999) for the calculation of safety distance.

Use an opaque test rod with 18mm in diameter and 200mm or 
greater in effective length to check the detection capability. The 
E3ZS cannot detect transparent materials.

Do not use the E3ZS in a reflective configuration, otherwise 
detection may fail.

Do not install the E3ZS in a location where it can be affected by 
wall reflections to avoid detection failure, which may result in 
serious injury.

When using multiple sets of E3ZS, arrange them to prevent mutual 
interference. Failure to do so may cause the sensor not to detect, 
resulting in serious injury.

The E3ZS does not offer protection to the operator’s body from 
projectiles existing the hazardous area. Proper means of 
mechanical guarding must be provided to ensure protection from 
these potentially hazardous projectiles.

Wiring must be done while the power is turned OFF. Doing it with 
the power ON may cause an electric shock.

Do not connect the E3ZS to an AC or DC power supply with higher 
voltage than nominal DC24V. Otherwise the sensor may explode, 
burn, or cause electric shock. The power supply must conform to 
regulatory requirements and standards, regarding EMC and 
electrical equipment safety, of the country where the E3ZS is 
installed. For example, the power supply must fulfill EN60742 
requirements for double insulation and must conform to EMC 
Directive and Low Voltage Directive in EU.

Do not install the E3ZS in the following environments:

 ・

Areas exposed to intense interference light, such as direct sunlight;

 ・

Areas with high-humidity where condensation is likely to occur;

 ・

Areas exposed to corrosive, flammable or explosive gases;

 ・

Areas in the presence of substances, such as heavy smoke or 

particulate matter, that may deteriorate product quality;

 ・

Areas exposed to vibration or shock levels higher than specification 

provisions;

 ・

Areas where the product may come in direct contact with water, oil, 

and chemicals;

2. Do not install the E3ZS in water.

3. To extend the cable, use a wire of cross-sectional area 0.3mm

2

 or 

more. However do not extend it more than 100m.

4. Be careful not to exceed a tightening torque of 0.5 Nm. Also, if it is 

not tight enough, vibration may cause it to come loose. 

5. When cleaning, avoid using thinner, benzene or acetone.

6. Power supply specifications

For combined DC power supply, use the following UL certified 
products: 
(1) Limited voltage current circuit that conforms to UL508

Circuit with a power supply that consists of a secondary coil of 
an insulated transformer that satisfies the following conditions: 
-Maximum voltage (with no load) : 30Vrms (42.4V peak) or less, and

-Maximum current 

:      8A or less (including short-circuit), or

 

      When limited by a circuit 

protector (fuse, etc.) with the 
ratings shown in the table below

(2) Class 2 power supply unit that conforms to UL1310
(3) Circuit (class 2 circuit) with 30Vrms (42.4V peak) or less of 

maximum voltage, and which uses a class 2 transformer that 
conforms to UL1585 as its power supply 

Precautions for Correct Use

 Meanings of Signal Words

Indicates a potentially hazardous 

situation which, if not avoided, will 

result in minor or moderate injury, or 

may result in serious injury or death. 

Additionally there may be significant 

property damage.

WARNING

 Meanings of Alert Symbols

Indicates prohibited actions. 

Precautions on Safety

When the E3ZS is used with the F3SX, the requirements of the 

Category 2 (EN954-1) are satisfied.

When the E3ZS is used without the F3SX, it corresponds to the 

Category 1 (EN954-1).

Read the F3SX users manual (SCHG-705) about the rating or other 

specifications of the F3SX.
