Omron E2K-X8ME1 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron E2K-X8ME1 2M is an unshielded capacitive proximity sensor with an 8 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 5.6 mm setting distance. It uses a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. 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 current is 200 mA max., and differential travel ranges from 4% to 20% of sensing distance. A red detection indicator and IP66 protection are specified. The E2K-X8ME1 2M is included among capacitive proximity sensors from Omron sensing products.

The Omron E2K-X8ME1 2M Proximity Sensor uses an unshielded capacitive sensing configuration with an 8 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 5.6 mm setting distance. It provides a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. 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 current is 200 mA max., and differential travel ranges from 4% to 20% of sensing distance. A red detection indicator is provided, together with reverse-polarity, surge, load short-circuit, and output reverse-polarity protection.
Environmental limits for the E2K-X8ME1 cover -25 to 70°C for operation and storage, with humidity from 35% to 95%. Heat-resistant ABS and polyacetal are listed among the construction materials, while IP66 is the specified protection level. Operation and storage share the same specified temperature range. The 8 mm capacitive sensing range is paired with NPN NO switching and the pre-wired 2 m connection. For another unshielded E2K capacitive model using the same NPN NO output and 2 m cable but a shorter 4 mm sensing distance, see E2K-X4ME1 2M.
