E3X-MDA Fiber amplifier
2-in-1 Digital fiber amplifier
E3X-MDA incorporates 2 digital fiber amplifiers in one slimline housing. For applica-
tions requiring the detection of two objects simultanously the E3X-MDA provides an
easy to use operation saving space and set-up time.
• Two digital amplifiers in one slimline housing
• Twin output models – on/off or area (between two threshold values)
• Signal comparison functions (AND, OR, etc.)

Timer function Select from OFF-delay, ON-delay, or one-shot timer.
1 ms to 5 s (1 to 20 ms set in 1-ms increments, 20 to 200 ms set in 10-ms increments,
200 ms to 1 s set in 100-ms increments, and 1 to 5 s set in 1 s-increments)
I/O settings Output setting (select from channel 2 output, AND, OR, leading edge sync, falling edge sync, or differential output)
Digital displays Select from the following: Incident level for channel 1 + incident level for channel 2, Incident level + threshold, incident level percentage
+ threshold, incident light peak level + no incident light bottom level, minimum incident light peak level + maximum no incident light
bottom level, long bar display, incident level + peak hold, incident level + channel
Degree of protection IEC 60529 IP50 (with protective cover attached)
The AND and OR functionality for the
two fiber channels allows simple signal
processing without the need for a PLC.
This allows the addition of sensor checks to
machines without reprogramming the PLC.
The 2 in 1 amplifier replaces two standard
amplifiers reducing space requirements
and hardware cost.
