Omron E3S-CD12 2M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3S-CD12 2M is a diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for direct object sensing across a distance of up to 2 m. Its 850 nm infrared LED sends light toward the target, while the returned light provides the sensing information without requiring a separate reflector. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC and includes a 2 m pre-wired cable for electrical connection. NPN or PNP open-collector output can be selected, while Light-ON or Dark-ON operation supports different control requirements. Response time is specified at 2 ms. Within the E3S Series, the E3S-CD12 2M provides the long-range diffuse option. Explore 2 m diffuse-reflective sensors across Omron Sensors.

The Omron E3S-CD12 2M Photoelectric Sensor uses diffuse-reflective sensing for direct object sensing across a maximum distance of 2 m. Its 850 nm infrared LED sends light toward the target, while returned light supplies the information required for switching without a separate reflector. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC and includes a 2 m pre-wired cable for electrical connection. NPN or PNP open-collector output can be selected, with load current specified at 100 mA maximum and load supply voltage up to 30 VDC. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation is selectable, while a two-turn endless adjuster supports sensitivity setting. Current consumption is specified at 40 mA maximum, and operate or reset time is 2 ms maximum.
For an Omron long range diffuse reflective photoelectric sensor requiring selectable NPN/PNP output and 2 m sensing, the corresponding model is the E3S-CD12. Ambient-light resistance reaches 5,000 lx under incandescent light and 10,000 lx under sunlight. Operating temperature extends from -25 to 55°C, while storage ranges from -40 to 70°C without icing or condensation. Power-supply reverse polarity, output short-circuit, and mutual-interference prevention are included. The specification also suits searches for an Omron 2 m diffuse sensor and Omron NPN PNP photoelectric sensor. For an E3S distance-settable model covering 5 to 500 mm with selectable NPN/PNP output, see E3S-CL2 2M.
