Connecting 2-Wire AC Sensors
A two-wire sensor cannot be connected directly to the AC input. To
connect a two-wire sensor, attach an external bleeder resistance in
the way shown below.
• Example: Connecting to a CPU Unit or Expansion I/O Unit
a) Use a resistance that satisfies both of the following
conditions.
b) Because of heat generation, use a resistor with at least the
following wattage.
Note Calculating the Bleeder Resistance
when Connecting an OMRON E2E-
X10Y 2-Wire AC Sensor
This calculations in this example
are based on an input voltage of
85 to 110 V AC.
The following values are from the
Sensor datasheet.
The Sensor's maximum leakage
current is 1.7 mA.

Sensor's OFF residual voltage is
