Omron E3T-FT12F 2M Ultracompact Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3T-FT12F 2M is an ultrathin through-beam photoelectric sensor designed for object sensing across a 500 mm distance. Its red LED establishes the beam between the transmitting and receiving sides, while the built-in amplifier processes the optical state before the NPN output communicates with compatible control circuitry. Dark-ON operation defines the specified switching behavior, and response time is listed at 1 ms max. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 2 m pre-wired cable. The compact rectangular format supports space-limited mounting positions. Within the E3T Series, the E3T-FT12F 2M provides the F-version NPN configuration.

The Omron E3T-FT12F 2M Photoelectric Sensor uses through-beam sensing across a maximum distance of 500 mm in an ultrathin rectangular format. The sensing set uses the E3T-FT12F-L emitter and E3T-FT12F-D receiver. Its red LED creates the optical path between both sensing sides, while the NPN output transfers the switching state from the receiver to compatible machine-control circuitry. Dark-ON operation defines the specified logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC, with combined current consumption specified at 30 mA max., consisting of 10 mA max. for the emitter and 20 mA max. for the receiver. Operate or reset time is 1 ms max., while a 2 m pre-wired cable provides the electrical connection.
For an Omron ultrathin through beam photoelectric sensor requiring NPN output and 500 mm sensing, the corresponding model is the E3T-FT12F. Polybutylene terephthalate is listed for the housing and denatured polyarylate for the optical section. The enclosure is specified at IP67, and approximate weight is 40 g. Its specification also matches searches for an Omron Dark ON NPN sensor and Omron compact 500 mm sensor. The 1 ms switching time supports object presence, counting, and position sensing where mounting area is limited. For a related standard NPN Dark-ON E3T model with the same 500 mm sensing distance, see E3T-FT12 2M.
