CONNECTIONS

To make the EX-500(W) series comply with the EMC directive

(CE marking), use the attached ferrite cores as shown in the

illustration below.

HINTS ON CORRECT USE

Noise interference

When using a switching regulator, make sure that the F.G.
terminal or the GND terminal is grounded.

• Keep the wiring and connection cable away from high-voltage

lines or power lines; otherwise noise may affect the perform-
ance of the EX-500(W).

• If noise from the power supply line causes the EX-500(W) to

malfunction, use an isolating transformer with the power
supply.

Auto-zero input

When the DC 2-wire proximity sensor (KEYENCE EV Series) is
used for auto-zero input, power supply voltage of the EX-
500(W) Series must be 20 V or higher.

Warm-up time

Do not start adjustment/measurement until at least 30 minutes
after the power is turned ON. The circuitry is not stable during
this period and fluctuation in measured values may result.

Cable extension

• The standard sensor head cable length is 3 m. It can be

extended to 10 m by connecting 7-m extension cable (Model:
OP-20708).

• Do not change the specified sensor head cable length

(3 or 10 m). If you extend or cut the cable, its character-
istics will change.

• The junction connector is grounded through its hous-

ing. Make necessary arrangements for insulation.
