PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS EFA/ERA/EFB/ERB A new generation in sensing performance Simplicity Simple selection Simple installation One family for all All standard applications covered A wide variety of models Models designed for special applications Non-stop detection High quality and reliability High EMC protection High light immunity Robust and waterproof housing Refer to Safety Precautions on page 5. Features For the most recent information on models that have been certified for safety standards, refer to your OMR website. Simplicity Omron s compact EFA series of photoelectric sensors is simple and quick to mount, as well as easy and intuitive to set-up. The large and robust adjuster makes life much easier for installers to adjust the sensor, as does the bright, high-power red LED, which is clearly visible for easy alignment, even over longer distances. Similarly, the sensor s LED status indicator can be viewed from long distances and wide angles. Compact size and shape. Can be installed almost anywhere. Visible LED light for easy alignment. Bright LED indicators for the easy operational status checking. Flush mounting option for smooth installation. One family for all Typically installed in industrial plants ranging from food and beverage, textiles, ceramics and brick production, through to logistics, there s always an EFA model to fit your application. This extensive photoelectric sensor series with high reliability and enhanced performance includes through-beam, retroreflective and diffuse-reflective types in straight and radial versions. Straight versions are also available with backgroundsuppression, limited-reflective detection, and transparent object detection types for special applications. Application specific models Limited-reflective types suitable for detecting transparant film to shiny, mirror film. Transparent object detection types utilising Omron s unique technology for detecting objects with birefringent (double refraction) properties. Background suppression types for the stable detection of different objects with various colours. Non-stop detection Especially designed for machines that never stop, the rugged EFA series offers completely reliable sensing in a robust and waterproof housing that can withstand even high-pressure cleaning. Exceeding market standards, this series also has high EMC protection and light immunity. In addition, there is the added benefit of the high-power LED, which contributes to high sensing stability even in environments with dust or vibrations.

Safety Precautions Refer to Warranty and Limitations of Liability. WARNING This product is not designed or rated for directly or indirectly ensuring safety of persons. Do not use it for such a purpose. CAUTI Never use the product with an AC power supply. Do not use the product with voltage in excess of the rated voltage. Do not use the product with incorrect wiring. Otherwise, explosion, fire, malfunction may result. Precautions for Safe Use Be sure to follow the safety precautions below for added safety.. Do not use the sensor under the environment with explosive, flammable or corrosive gas.. Do not use the sensor under the oil or chemical environment.. Do not use the sensor in the water, rain or outdoors.. Do not use the sensor in the environment where humidity is high and condensation may occur. 5. Do not use the sensor under the environment under the other conditions in excess of rated. 6. Do not use the sensor in place that is exposed by direct sunlight.. Do not use the sensor in place where the sensor may receive direct vibration or shock. 8. Do not use the thinner, alcohol, or other organic solvents. 9. Never disassemble, repair nor tamper with the sensor..please process it as industrial waste. Precautions for Correct Use. Laying Sensor wiring in the same conduit or duct as high-voltage wires or power lines may result in malfunction or damage due to conduit or use shielded cable.. Do not pull on the cable with excessive force.. If a commercial switching regulator is used, ground the FG (frame ground) terminal.. The sensor will be available ms after the power supply is tuned. Start to use the sensor ms or more after turning the power supply. If the load and the sensor are connected to separate power supplies, be sure to turn the sensor first. 5. Output pulses may be generated even when the power supply is. Therefore, it is recommended to first turn the power supply for the load or the load line. 6. The sensor must be mounted using the provided nuts. The proper tightening torque range of EFA/ERA plastic housing series is between. and.5 N m. The proper tightening torque of EFB/ ERB metal housing series is N m max.. 5
