Omron E2K-X15ME1 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2K-X15ME1 2M is an unshielded capacitive proximity sensor with a 15 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 10 mm setting distance. It uses a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation, a pre-wired 2 m cable, and a 12 to 24 VDC supply. The sensor is specified for conductors and dielectrics with a 50 × 50 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 100 Hz, current consumption is 15 mA max., control-output load current is 200 mA max., and differential travel is 4% to 20% of sensing distance. A red detection indicator and IP66 protection are listed. The E2K-X15ME1 belongs to the Proximity sensor category from Omron sensing products.

The Omron E2K-X15ME1 2M Proximity Sensor uses capacitive sensing in an unshielded configuration with a 15 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 10 mm setting distance. Its electrical output is DC 3-wire NPN with NO operation, connected through a pre-wired 2 m cable and supplied from 12 to 24 VDC. Conductors and dielectrics are the listed detectable objects, with a 50 × 50 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 100 Hz, current consumption is 15 mA max., and control-output load current is 200 mA max. Differential travel is specified from 4% to 20% of sensing distance. A red detection indicator is provided with reverse-polarity, surge, load short-circuit, and output reverse-polarity protection.
The model is specified for operation and storage from -10 to 55°C without icing or condensation, with humidity from 35% to 95% without condensation. Heat-resistant ABS and polyacetal are listed as construction materials, while degree of protection is IP66. These values distinguish the E2K-X15ME1 2M as a 15 mm capacitive NPN NO proximity sensor rather than an inductive E2B or E2E configuration. Within the same E2K-X 15 mm family, the principal electrical variation is the output transistor type. For the corresponding 15 mm capacitive model retaining the same sensing distance, setting distance, cable length, supply range, and NO operation but using a PNP output, see E2K-X15MF1 2M.
