Precautions for Correct Use

Do not use the product in atmospheres or environments that
exceed product ratings.
Amplifier Units
● Designing
Communications Hole
The hole on the side of the Amplifier Unit is a communications
hole for preventing mutual interference when Amplifier Units
are mounted side-by-side. The E3X-MC11 Mobile Console
(order separately) cannot be used.
If an excessive amount of light is received via the Sensor, the
mutual interference prevention function may not work. In this
case, make the appropriate adjustments using the sensitivity
adjuster.
The mutual interference prevention function will not operate
when the E3X-SD/NA is used side-by-side with E3X-DA-N
models.
