This product has been developed / produced
for industrial use only.
Make sure that the power is off while wiring.
Take care that wrong wiring will damage the
sensor.
Verify that the supply voltage variation is
within the rating.
If power is supplied from a commercial
switching regulator, ensure that the frame
ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is
connected to an actual ground.
In case noise generating equipment (switch-
ing regulator, inverter motor, etc.) is used in
the vicinity of this product, connect the frame
ground (F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an
actual ground.
Do not run the wires together with high-volt-
age lines or power lines or put them in the
same raceway. This can cause malfunction
due to induction.
Do not use during the initial transient time
(20ms) after the power supply is switched on.
Take care that the sensor is not directly exposed
to fluorescent lamp from a rapid-starter lamp, a
high frequency lighting device or sunlight etc., as
it may affect the sensing performance.
Extension up to total 100m, or less, is possi-
ble with 0.3mm
2
, or more, cable. However, in
order to reduce noise, make the wiring as
short as possible.
Make sure that stress by forcible bend or pulling
is not applied directly to the sensor cable joint.
This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
Do not use this sensor in places having exces-
sive vapor, dust, etc., or where it may come in
direct contact with water, or corrosive gas.
Take care that the sensor does not come in
contact with water, oil, grease, organic sol-
vents, such as, thinner etc., or strong acid,
and alkaline.

Beam alignment
Placing the emitter and the receiver face to face
along a straight line, move the emitter in the up,
down, left and right directions, in order to deter-
mine the range of the light received condition
with the help of the operation indicator (red).
Then, set the emitter at the center of this range.
Similarly, adjust for up, down, left and right an-
gular movement of the emitter.
Further, perform the angular adjustment for the
receiver also.

Description
Remove the object, turn the sensitivity adjuster
further clockwise, and find out point where
the sensor changes to the light received
condition again with only the background.
When the sensor does not go to the light
received condition even if the adjuster is fully
turned clockwise, point is this extreme point.
Optimum position
Note: Use the accessory adjuster screwdriver to turn the distance
adjuster slowly. Turning with excessive force will cause dam-
age the adjuster.

Overview

This document describes the Panasonic Micro Photoelectric Sensor EX Series, which includes thru-beam and diffuse reflective type sensors designed for industrial use.

Function Description

The EX Series sensors are primarily used for detecting objects in various industrial applications. The thru-beam type sensors (EX-M2E, EX-M2) operate by detecting an interruption in a light beam between an emitter and a receiver. The diffuse reflective type sensor (EX-D200E) detects objects by sensing the reflection of its emitted light off the object.

A key feature of these sensors is the ability to select output operation (Light-ON or Dark-ON) by changing the connection of the control input wire. This provides flexibility in how the sensor responds to object detection. The thru-beam type sensors can detect opaque objects of 7mm or more, with an optional slit mask allowing detection of smaller objects (e.g., 0.5 x 3mm for EX-M2E, 0.5 x 2mm for EX-M2). The diffuse reflective type sensor can detect opaque, translucent, or transparent objects.

Usage Features

Mounting:

  • EX-M2E, EX-D200E: These models require specific tightening torques to prevent damage. EX-M2E has a maximum tightening torque of 0.58N·m, while EX-D200E has a maximum of 0.39N·m. They use M3 screws (16mm length) with washers and are mounted with the MS-EX-1E sensor mounting bracket.
  • EX-M2: This model has a maximum tightening torque of 0.39N·m or less, also using M3 screws (16mm length) with washers and the MS-EX-1 sensor mounting bracket.
  • Slit Mask (Optional): For thru-beam type sensors, slit masks (OS-EX- series) can be fitted to detect smaller objects. The mask is inserted until a click sound is heard. Note that using a slit mask reduces the sensing range.

Adjustments:

  • Thru-beam Type Sensor (EX-M2E, EX-M2) Beam Alignment:
    1. Position the emitter and receiver along a straight line. Move the emitter to find the range of light received conditions using the red operation indicator, then center the emitter within this range.
    2. Adjust the emitter for up, down, left, and right angular movement.
    3. Perform angular adjustment for the receiver as well.
  • Diffuse Reflective Type Sensor (EX-D200E) Sensitivity Adjustment:
    1. Turn the sensitivity adjuster fully counter-clockwise to the minimum (MIN) position.
    2. Place the object at the required distance. Turn the adjuster clockwise to find point A where the sensor changes to the light received condition.
    3. Remove the object. Continue turning the adjuster clockwise to find point B where the sensor changes to the light received condition again with only the background. If the sensor does not change condition even when fully turned clockwise, point B is this extreme point.
    4. The optimum sensing position is at the middle of points A and B.
    • An accessory adjuster screwdriver should be used for slow, careful adjustment to avoid damage.

Wiring:

  • The control input wire (pink) allows selection of Light-ON or Dark-ON output operation. Connecting it to 0V selects Light-ON, while connecting it to +V selects Dark-ON. For the EX-D200E, leaving it open selects Dark-ON.
  • Ensure power is off during wiring to prevent damage.
  • Verify that the supply voltage is within the specified rating.
  • If using a commercial switching regulator, ensure its frame ground (F.G.) terminal is connected to an actual ground.
  • In noisy environments (e.g., near switching regulators, inverter motors), connect the equipment's F.G. terminal to an actual ground.
  • Avoid running sensor wires with high-voltage or power lines in the same raceway to prevent malfunction due to induction.
  • Do not use during the initial 20ms transient time after power-on.
  • Cable extension up to 100m is possible with 0.3mm² or larger cable, but shorter wiring is recommended to reduce noise.
  • Avoid applying stress from forcible bending or pulling directly to the sensor cable joint.

Maintenance Features

  • Environmental Considerations:
    • This sensor is suitable for indoor use only.
    • Avoid places with excessive vapor, dust, or where it may come into direct contact with water or corrosive gas.
    • Do not allow the sensor to come into contact with water, oil, grease, organic solvents (e.g., thinner), strong acid, or alkaline substances.
    • Protect the sensor from direct exposure to fluorescent lamps (rapid-starter, high-frequency lighting) or sunlight, as this can affect sensing performance.
  • Safety Precautions:
    • This product is developed for industrial use only and should not be used as a sensing device for personnel protection.
    • For personnel protection, use devices that meet applicable laws and standards (e.g., OSHA, ANSI, IEC).
