the purpose of protecting the
Warning human body.
■ Mutual interference
When mounting two or more sensors of the
same model in opposition or in juxtaposition
to each other, be sure to provide
spacingbetween the two sensors for each
model as shown in the table below.
Distance Opposed position Juxtaposition
mm mm
• Route the sensor cable separately from
the motor power cable or high tension
cables as the sensor may malfunction as a
result of noise.
• The sensor cable length should be 200m
(656ft.) or less using a cable with a conduc-
tor cross-section area equal to or greater
than that of the standard cable.
■Effect by ambient metal
Sensors of shielded type can be flush-
mounted into metal. As for sensors of
unshielded type, however, the distance longer
than the value shown in the table below shall
be given between a sensor of unshielded
type and metal.

■Leakage current EV-118U 70 25

With the EV series sensors, a leakage cur-
rent flows through the sensor even when the EV-130U 120 28
output is turned off. For this reason, some
voltage may remain in the load connected to
the sensor, which may result in unwanted
operation or chattering, depending on the
load (Ex. Programmable logic controller). In
such a case, be sure to connect a resistor in
parallel with the load to minimize the residual
voltages at both ends of the load.
