Omron E3AS-HL500LMN 2M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3AS-HL500LMN 2M is an NPN distance-settable photoelectric sensor that extends line-beam laser sensing from approximately 35 to 500 mm. Its Class 1 red laser produces a line-shaped optical area instead of a concentrated spot, supporting applications that require this sensing geometry. A pre-wired 2 m cable provides electrical connection, while the sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC. Response time can be selected at 1.5 ms, 10 ms, or 50 ms to suit different machine speeds. The E3AS-HL500LMN 2M provides extended NPN line-beam sensing within the E3AS distance-settable range. For adjustable sensing where additional working distance is needed, 500 mm photoelectric sensors are included across Omron Automation Products.

The Omron E3AS-HL500LMN 2M Photoelectric Sensor provides adjustable line-beam sensing from approximately 35 to 500 mm using a Class 1 red laser at 660 nm. Its NPN output connects with compatible machine-control equipment, while a pre-wired 2 m cable provides direct electrical connection. The sensor operates from a 10 to 30 VDC Class 2 power source. As part of the Omron E3AS distance-settable photoelectric sensor range, the sensing distance can be configured according to the required target position. Selectable response settings of 1.5 ms, 10 ms, and 50 ms support different machine speeds and sensing requirements. Total output load current is specified up to 100 mA. Power-supply reverse polarity, output short-circuit, and output reverse-polarity protection are included, together with an OLED display and status indicators.
For applications requiring NPN switching, extended line-beam sensing, and adjustable operation to 500 mm, the matching model is the E3AS-HL500LMN. Operating temperature ranges from -20 to 55°C, with storage from -40 to 70°C under non-condensing conditions. The sensor withstands vibration from 10 to 55 Hz and mechanical shock up to 500 m/s². Its SUS316L stainless-steel enclosure and antifouling PMMA lens are accompanied by IP67, IP67G, and IP69K ratings. Ambient-light resistance reaches 25,000 lx sunlight under the stated 250 mm condition. The configuration also suits searches for an Omron line beam distance sensor and Omron NPN photoelectric sensor.
