Influence of surrounding metal
To avoid influence of surrounding metal, keep minimum spacing as
described below;

RPEA-801_N-PU_ _Output Sensor: Puts out detected signal to external controller, also
sends power for operating of Detector and Transmitter.

SW 2(NPN)SW 5(NPN): Provides power for Detector, also passes detectedsignals from Detector to Output Sensor.

Detectedsignal: A standard detector switch is used as Detector.
Up to 8 switches can be connected with Transmitter.

Transmitter

SW 1(NPN)

SW 4(NPN)【Function of each component】◆ Ensure the power is switched off during installation or maintenance
operations.
◆ Use a regulated power supply, e.g. switch-model type.
Simpler power supplies, such as a full-wave rectification type, willcause the permissible ripple rating to be exceed and may cause
malfunction.
◆ Ensure correct connections by reference to the wiring diagram.
◆ To avoid malfunction caused by induction noise, cable should be kept
apart from motor or other power cable.
◆ When the resin (ABS or ABS + PBT) is used to the case or thetransmission surface, please be sure to avoid organic solvent or liquidcontaining them to splash over.
◆ Please install cable end “wiring part” in so that there is no water andcutting fluid.
(Water is transmitted to the internal from the cable core, there is apossibility of causing a problem such as short circuit or corrosion)◆ Please do not face the output sensor to a metal at all times to avoid
metal overheating or damage of the components.

Residual voltage≤ 3.5V*Total current consumption of all connected sensor.

- Be sure to use a sensor which works definitely in thecondition described above.
- Total current consumption of detectors must not exceed
the rated drive current. Reduce the switches when thetotal current consumption exceeds the drive current.
- The drive current depends on the transmitting distanceand the center off-set between Transmitter and Output
Sensor. -refer to Transmitting diagram.

◆ Please note that the signal may become unstable(false signal or chattering) when the transmission
distance and the center offset are outside the specification range.
◆ The inzone signal is a preliminary signal for confirmingthat the output signal is established within the specification range. Please note that it does not guarantee signals
output outside the specification range.

Please note that the cable length of an output sensor may not longer than10m. The CE marking verifies that our products comply with the requirementsof EMC directive. The surge test to an output sensor is not carried out.
When using an output sensor with cable length longer than 10 m, a measure Wireless Power Supply by
to protect the sensor from serge current should be taken.
