Basic Information

Continuously check invisible static electricity in lines
Features
Constantly check static in lines!

With this inline-capable surface potential sensor, you can constantly monitor static that will be generated in various places in a process while running a line and, if there is any abnormality, you can respond to it immediately. It will clarify damage or failure caused by static which has been hard to find out before, allowing the maintenance of stable quality.
Reduce the inspection man-hours for the ionizer
You can see the neutralizing effect of the ionizer in real time, so it is possible to objectively verify damage on the ionizer or time to replace expendable parts. By quickly finding decrease in the effect of the ionizer, it will relieve concerns like “Is it really neutralizing?”, and reduce the man-hours required for inspection and verification.
New proposal for electrostatic measurement
Unlike the off-line measurement with a handheld instrument, it can be installed in a line in the same way as photoelectric sensors, thus reduces variation in measurements caused by differences in workers, measurement sites and distance to help improve reliability. In addition, with its variety of features such as the window comparator output that outputs a signal when the measured value exceeds the measurement range, and analog output essential for data collection and analysis, it enables line control for anti-static measures similar to the beam sensor (photoelectric sensor).
Easy-to-read 2-color dual display
The controller is equipped with a red and a green display. Current values and threshold values can be viewed at a glance.
Suitable for measuring under strict conditions
High-precision design with a repeatability precision of ±0.3 % F.S. Even very slight differences in potential will not be skipped over.
Lightweight and compact for easy setup in any location

The sensor head only weighs 90 g. Installation can be carried out easily using just a bracket so that it is suitable for use in a wide variety of applications. |
A variety of functions for a wide range of applications

A large number of functions for a variety of applications are available, including 0-adjust, hysteresis setting, window comparator output, and +potential / -potential peak hold (external timing input) measurement.
Easy data management with analog output

Data logger can collect and analyze data, which will be helpful when reviewing the installation angle of the ionizer and the number of ionizers.

Notes:
1)If using together with an ionizer, the 0 V line of this product should be connected to the ionizer ground. In addition, the metal parts of the sensor head (EF-S1HS) are connected to the 0 V line, so it should be insulated during installation.
2)In case of using the analog voltage output, connect a device having a input impedance of 1MΩ or more. Further, the analog voltage output does not incorporate a short-circuit protection circuit.
Do not connect it directly to a power supply or a capacitive load.

<Points to note when using analog output>
Because the 0 V lines for judgment output and analog voltage output are common, the analog voltage output may vary depending on the load current. In order to satisfy the linearity specifications for the analog voltage output, do not use the judgment output.

Sensing characteristics
*TYPICAL
EF-S1HS
Measurement range - field of measurement
This product is not an instrument for measuring the absolute amount of potential.This product measures the electric field. Thus, the presence of objects other than the object to be measured that disturb the electric field in the measurement area (see left) or around the sensor head will affect measurement accuracy.(The closer the measurement distance, the less affected by surrounding objects.)For accurate measurement, install the sensor head considering measurement distance, measurement area and the surrounding environment.
Installation tolerance - Display value tolerance characteristics
Note:If the installation tolerance is greater than 0.5 mm0.020 in, change the measurement range setting at the controller.
Angular deviation 1
Angular deviation 2
Note:There is no graph indication from 5 degrees or higher in the case of L=8mm because the enclosure touches the object when tilted to the positive direction.

使用上のご注意
- Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection.
- In case of using sensing devices for personnel protection, use products which meet laws and standards, such as OSHA, ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection applicable in each region or country.
・The sensor head is manufactured according to specifications that are complete for use in combination with the optional exclusive controller. Be sure to use it together with the exclusive controller.
・Do not touch the sensor head and surrounding parts. If this is not observed, it may cause measurement accuracy to drop.
・The metal parts of the sensor head are connected to the 0V line of the exclusive controller power supply, so it should be insulated during use.
・Do not use with a plus ground.
Cautions For Use
Mounting
- Do not let dust stick to the measurement unit. When dust has adhered to the measurement unit and its surroundings, it may interfere with proper measurement. If dust has adhered to the measuring unit, blow it off using an air blower, etc.
- When fittings are charged, it affects the measurement accuracy, so use after grounding the fittings. However, the metal part of the case must be insulated.
- This product has higher sensitivity when used in the measurement distance of 21 to 100 mm 0.827 to 3.937 in compared to when used in the measurement distance of 8 to 20.5 mm 0.315 to 0.807 in, thus it becomes more susceptible to disturbance noise. Check the usage environment before using this product.
Wiring
- Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring.
- If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual ground.
- In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator, inverter motor, etc.) is used in the vicinity of this product, connect the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an actual ground
- Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.
- A thin cable of 0.09 mm2 is employed for the sensor head. Note that pulling the cable with force may break the cable.
- Cannot extend the cable of the sensor head.
- Make sure that stress is not applied directly to the sensor head cable joint.
- Extension up to total 10m 32.81 ft is possible with 0.3mm2, or more, cable. However, in order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.
Others
- Do not use during the initial transient time (3 sec.) after the power supply is switched on.
- In order for stable sensing to be carried out, wait for 10 min. after turning on the power before use.
- Do not use in places where there are strong electric fields apart from those for the object being measured.
- Do not use in strong magnetic fields.
