Safety Precautions
WARNING
This product is not designed or rated for
ensuring safety of persons.
Do not use it for such purposes.
Precautions for Correct Use
Do not use the product in atmospheres or environments that
exceed product ratings.
If the sensing object has a metallic or shiny surface, the E3S-
R may not detect it properly. To avoid this situation, place the
sensing object so that it is not at right angles to the
Photoelectric Sensor.
Glossy surface Sensing object
Reflector
10° to 20°
Create an angle.
● Attaching the E39-S Slit
• The Slit can be fitted vertically or horizontally as indicated
by the dotted line. Make sure that Slits for the Emitter and
the Receiver are fitted in the same orientation.
• Place the packing in the supporter and hook the claws on
the indentations in the Sensor head.
• If the supporter is contacting the mounting surface, insert a
spacer to separate it. (Refer to Slit Dimensions.)
• An operating position accuracy of 0.1 mm max. can be
achieved for a Through-beam Sensor without Slits.

Note 1. Only C42 models with die-cast cases are available.
2. The Emitter for a Through-beam C4-type Sensor is the same as the
Emitter for an E4-type Sensor. (E.g., E3S-5LE4)
3. When a C- or B- type Sensor experiences a load short-circuit or overload,
the output transistor will be turned OFF. Check the load conditions before
turning the power back ON.
