Operating Zone (Typical Examples) The operating zone is the sensing range of the E4A-3K at the sensing distance with the sensing object moved vertically towards the ultrasonic beam. The operating zone varies with the sensing distance and sensing object. Distance (cm) Ultrasonic Sensor Sensing object: 200 x 200 (mm) flat plate Ultrasonic Sensor Reference • Each of the following illustrations indicates the operating zone with the E4A-3K mounted to the ceiling for the purpose of detecting the human body. In either case, make sure that the lower limit of the sensing range is approximately 0.5 m...

Dimensions Note: All units are in millimeters unless otherwise indicated. External Connections Example of Connections of the E4A-3K in Asynchronous Operation Contact output Note: 1. If the synchronous operation of the E4A-3K is not required, set the reference pulse selector to ON. Keep terminals 7 and 8 open. 2. Use a cable with an external diameter of 10 mm max. for wiring.

Adjustments Reference Pulse Selector Position If more than one Unit is used at one location, the Units will need to be in synchronous operation to prevent mutual interference. In that case, set the reference pulse selector of only one Unit to ON. Set the reference pulse selector of each Unit to ON if the Units are in asynchronous operation. Refer to External Connections for details. Operation indicator Sensing distance adjuster Sensing side Sensing distance d Operating range l 0.1 d min.

Sensor Mounting Angle If the E4A-3K is in level control or distance control of sensing objects, the stability of signal detection will depend on the sensing surface condition of the objects. Considering the repose angle of the objects, mount the E4A-3K so that the ultrasonic beam and the sensing surface of each object meet at right angles to each other. Surrounding Objects Make sure that the Sensor is free from surrounding objects that reflect the ultrasonic beam diffusion, otherwise the Sensor may malfunction. In particular, pay the utmost attention so that no side lobe of the ultrasonic...
