Omron E2K-X4ME1 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2K-X4ME1 2M is an unshielded capacitive proximity sensor with a 4 mm sensing distance and 0 to 2.8 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. Conductors and dielectrics are the specified detectable objects, 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-X4ME1 belongs to the capacitive proximity sensor category within the Omron industrial sensing range.

The Omron E2K-X4ME1 2M Proximity Sensor uses capacitive sensing in an unshielded configuration with a 4 mm sensing distance and 0 to 2.8 mm setting distance. Its electrical arrangement is DC 3-wire NPN with NO operation, supplied through a pre-wired 2 m cable and powered 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., control-output load current is 200 mA max., and differential travel ranges 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.
Operating and storage temperature is specified from -25 to 70°C without icing or condensation, with 35% to 95% humidity. Heat-resistant ABS and polyacetal are the listed materials, while the degree of protection is IP66. These specifications distinguish the E2K-X4ME1 2M as a 4 mm capacitive NPN NO sensor rather than an inductive E2B or E2E model. Within the same E2K-X 4 mm family, the corresponding PNP version keeps the same sensing distance, setting range, 2 m cable, 12 to 24 VDC supply, 100 Hz response frequency, and NO operation. That related model is E2K-X4MF1 2M.
