WARNING
Precautions for Correct Use
This product is not designed or rated for ensuring
safety of persons either directly or indirectly. Do not
use it for such purposes.
● Installation
• It is assumed that EE-SX91 Sensors will be built into a device.
These Sensors use non-modulated light and are not equipped to
deal with interference from an external light source. When they are
used in locations subject to external light interference, such as near
a window or under an incandescent light, install them to minimize
the effects of external light interference.
Precautions for Safe Use
• Power Supply Voltage
• Mount the Sensors securely on a flat surface.
Do not exceed the voltage range

• Use M3 or M2.0 screws to secure the Photomicrosensor. (The
stronger M3 screws are recommended. In addition, use flat
washers and spring washers to prevent the screws from loosening.)
Refer to the following table for the correct tightening torque.
indicated in the specifications.
Applying a voltage exceeding
the specifications or using an AC
power supply may result in
rupture or burning.

• Faulty Wiring
Do not reverse the power supply
polarity. Doing so may result in
rupture or burning.
• Do not short-circuit the load. (Do
not connect to the power
supply.)

Unused Output Lines
Be sure to isolate output lines that are not going to be used.
Doing so may result in rupture or
burning.

Load
A Sensor with an open-collector output can be connected to a counter
with a voltage input by connecting a resistor between the power
source and output. Select a resistor with reference to the following
example. The resistance of the resistor is generally 4.7 kΩ and its
wattage is 1/2 W for a supply voltage of 24 V and 1/4 W for 12 V.
