Q&A
Can the cable between Sensor Heads and the
Preamplifiers be extended?
Can calculations be performed with ZX-L-series
Smart Sensors (Laser Type) ?
Can the ZX-SF11 Interface Unit used with the
ZX-L-series Smart Sensors (Laser Type) be
used with the ZX-E-series Smart Sensors
(Inductive Displacement Type)?
Can the ZX-CAL Calculation Unit used with the
ZX-L-series Smart Sensors (Laser Type) be
used with the ZX-E-series Smart Sensors
(Inductive Displacement Type)?
Why does an error occur and settings cannot be
made when teaching or directly inputting thresh-
old values?
When scaling is executed, an error appears on
the sub-display and settings cannot be made.
When monitor focus is executed, why does an
error appear on the sub-display and the settings
cannot be made?
When entering the thickness for thickness calcu-
lation, why does an error appear on the sub-dis-
play and the settings cannot be made?
Can calculations be performed with 3 or more
Amplifier Units?
Can calculations be performed when Sensor
Heads with different measurement distances are
connected to 2 Amplifier Units?
The sensing object is made of copper. What
material should I select for linearity adjustment?
When linearity adjustment is executed, why does
an error occur and linearity is not adjusted?
The main display does not change to zero even
when sensing objects are in contact with the
Sensor Head.

Question
No. If the cable is extended, measurement precision is lost.
No. The ZX-E-series Smart Sensors (Inductive Displacement
Type) and ZX-L-series Smart Sensors (Laser Type) are not com-
patible.
Yes, if the Interface Unit is version 2.0 or later. If the Interface Unit
is an earlier version, contact your OMRON representative.
(The Interface Unit version can be checked with the Smart Moni-
tor.)
Yes. However, only two Amplifier Units can be connected.
Threshold values cannot be set using teaching or by direct input if
the following condition is not met:
• HIGH threshold value − LOW threshold value > hysteresis width
p. 97
Scaling cannot be set for one of the following reasons:
• Scaling has been attempted when the measured value is
outside the measurement distance range.
• When two-point scaling has been executed, the distance
between the measured values for the two points is not 1% or
more of the measurement distance.
p. 95
Monitor focus settings cannot be made when the distance
between the two specified points is not 1% or more of the mea-
surement distance.
p. 103
The present value is outside the measurement distance. Place
the sensing object within the measurement distance range and
then enter the thickness.
p. 74
Contact your OMRON representative.
Yes, if both Sensors are ZX-E-series Smart Sensors (Inductive
Displacement Type).
Use the default, aluminum (AL).
Occasionally linearity cannot be adjusted due to the surface sta-
tus of the sensing object used, e.g., the surface is rough or has
been processed. Initialize the linearity adjustment data and use
the default settings.
Sometimes the status of the sensing object surface, e.g., the sur-
face is rough or has been processed, prevents the display from
changing to zero even when the sensing objects are in contact
when the default linearity adjustment values are used. Either exe-
cute linearity adjustment or execute a zero reset first.
