Omron E3S-R86 Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3S-R86 is a PNP vertical retro-reflective photoelectric sensor with an MSR function for transparent-object sensing across a distance of up to 1 m with the E39-R1 reflector. Its 660 nm red LED establishes the optical path, while the PNP output transfers the switching state to compatible PLC inputs and machine-control circuitry. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC and uses an M12 connector for detachable electrical connection. A Light-ON or Dark-ON selector switch supports different control logic, while a two-turn endless adjuster assists sensitivity setting. Response time is specified at 1 ms. Within the E3S Series, the E3S-R86 provides the 1 m PNP transparent-object configuration. Explore PNP transparent object sensors across Omron Automation Products.

The Omron E3S-R86 Photoelectric Sensor uses vertical retro-reflective sensing with an MSR function for transparent objects across a maximum distance of 1 m with the E39-R1 reflector. Its 660 nm red LED establishes the optical path, while the PNP output transfers the resulting switching state to compatible PLC inputs and machine-control circuitry. The stated targets include opaque objects and 0.7 mm thick LCD glass boards under the specified conditions. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC and uses an M12 connector for electrical integration. Current consumption is specified at 30 mA maximum, while load current reaches 100 mA maximum. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation is switch-selectable, and a two-turn endless adjuster supports sensitivity setting. Response time is specified at 1 ms maximum.
For an Omron PNP transparent object sensor requiring MSR, 1 m sensing, and M12 connection, the relevant model is the E3S-R86. Ambient-light resistance reaches 5,000 lx under incandescent light and 10,000 lx under sunlight. Operating temperature is specified from 0 to 40°C, while storage extends from -40 to 70°C without icing or condensation. PBT, modified polyallylate, and SUS304 are among the listed materials. Its specification also suits searches for an Omron 1 m glass sensor and Omron PNP retro reflective sensor. For an NPN E3S transparent-object version with a shorter 300 mm sensing distance, see E3S-R67.
