Shielded Design Advantages
The shielded construction of the E2E-X3D1-N focuses the electromagnetic field forward through the sensing face, allowing flush mounting in metallic environments without interference from surrounding structures. This eliminates clearance requirements and simplifies fixture design.
DC 2-Wire Simplicity
The 2-wire design functions as a solid-state switch in series with the load, providing direct compatibility with circuits originally designed for mechanical switches. This simplifies wiring and maintenance while maintaining reliable performance.
Industrial Durability
With IP67 protection, oil-resistant construction, and robust housing, this sensor withstands demanding industrial environments including coolant mist, cutting oil spray, and periodic washdown conditions.
Dual LED Indicators
Green setting indicator for precise positioning during installation and red operation indicator for real-time output status monitoring. Both LEDs remain visible after installation for easy diagnostics.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum distance between two E2E-X3D1-N sensors when mounting multiple units?
Sensors mounted side by side require at least 30mm separation between centerlines. Sensors mounted facing each other require at least 20mm face-to-face clearance to prevent mutual interference.
What happens if the load exceeds the 100 mA maximum rating?
Loads exceeding 100 mA can damage the output circuit. For higher current applications, use the sensor to switch a relay coil rather than the load directly.
Can the E2E-X3D1-N be used with a 12V DC power supply?
Yes, the sensor operates from 10 to 30V DC, covering both 12V and 24V nominal supplies. Note that residual voltage represents a higher percentage of total voltage on 12V systems.
How do I confirm correct sensor positioning during installation?
Use the green setting indicator LED. Position the sensor midway between the points where the LED transitions on and off, then secure the locknut.
Is this sensor compatible with solid-state PLC input modules?
Yes, the sensor is compatible with standard solid-state discrete input modules from major PLC manufacturers including Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Mitsubishi, and Omron.
