6. How to select the appropriate Proximity Sensor?
Please consider following points while selecting and installing a Prox. Sensor.
Environmental Conditions:
- Water Resistance
Do not use in water, rain, or outside.
- Ambient Conditions
In order to maintain reliability of operation, do not
use outside the specified temperature range or in
outdoor conditions. The proximity sensor has a
water resistant structure, however, it must be
covered to prevent direct contact with water or watersoluble shaving oil. Do not use in atmospheres with
chemicals, in particular strong alkaline or acid (nitric
acid, chromic acid, or hot concentrated sulfuric acid).
- Explosive atmospheres
Cannot be used in atmospheres where there is a
danger of explosion. In this case, it is recommended
to use an explosion-proof sensor.

6. How to select the appropriate Proximity Sensor?
Please consider following points while selecting and installing a Prox. Sensor.
Effect of external electromagnetic field
-
The effect within a direct magnetic field is 20 mT. Do not use a level higher than 20 mT.
Sudden changes in the direct current magnetic field may cause incorrect operation. Do
not use for applications that involve turning the direct current electromagnet on and off.
Do not place a transceiver near the proximity sensor on its wiring, as this may cause
incorrect operation.

Sensor Installation Consideration
Points to note
Mutual Interference
Occurs when more than 2 pieces of sensors are installed facing each other or side by
side, causing the output to be unstable.
To avoid interference, it is possible to:
Use one with standard oscillation and the other with different freq. alternately.
For E2E-X, min. distance between sensors
39
OMRON
Detecting distance
The distance from the detecting surface of a sensor head to the point where a
standard target approaching the sensor head is first detected
40
OMRON
Setting Distance
The distance from the reference surface, which allows stable use including the
effects of temperature and voltage, to the (standard) test object passage
position. This is approximately 70% to 80% of the normal (rated) detection
distance.
41
OMRON
Hysteresis
The difference between the reset distance and the detecting distance using a
standard object. The reset distance refers to the distance from the detecting
surface of a sensor head to the point at which the sensor resets for
subsequent detection.
42
OMRON
Standard Target
A target determined as standard according to the shape , size, and material,
that is used to obtain the specification of a sensor.
43
OMRON
Shielded Type
The sensing coil is encased in a metal shielding. The magnetic flux is
concentrated in front of the sensor because the sides of the sensor coil are
covered with metal case. Shielded type is less affected by surrounding metal.
And can be embedded in a metal base.

Example : In an automobile production line, there were many 3-wire prox. Sensors
installed . One of the sensors became short circuited due to sputter from the welding. The
power supply that was supplying power to all the sensors tripped. It took them hours to
locate the exact the sensor that was short circuited. Because, as soon as the power ON,
it will trip, and it is difficult to investigate where the fault location is.

But, if 2-wire Prox. Sensor would have been used, then because of the load
resistance, power would not trip. Only, the short circuited sensor would stop
functioning. That would then make it easy to locate the faulty sensor.

OMRON
Residual Voltage : The impedance of the 2-wire type proximity sensors circuit, when
output is ON, produces a voltage which is the difference of the voltage across the 2
wires connected to it. (V1, 0V). This means that the voltage across the load (V2) is
equal to the supply voltage minus V1 (V2=Vs-V1). Make sure that V2 is greater than
the operating voltage of the load. (Refer to the characteristic chart Residual
voltage)

51
OMRON
Leakage current : With a 2-wire proximity sensor, a small amount of current flows
(leakage current) to keep the circuit operating even when the sensor is turned OFF.
(Refer to the leakage current characteristic graph . Because of this current, a low
voltage remains on the load, sometimes preventing the load from properly resetting.
Before operation, check that the residual voltage is lower than the reset voltage of
the load. )

Response Time
- t1 : The interval from the point when the standard test object moves into the
detection range of the sensor to the point when the output turns ON after the
sensor activates.
- t2 : The interval from when the standard test object moves out of the sensor
detection range to when the sensor output turns OFF.
55
OMRON
Response Frequency
- The number of detection repetitions that can be output per seconds
when the standard test object is repeatedly brought into proximity.
