Omron E3T-FT24 5M Ultracompact Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3T-FT24 5M is an ultracompact through-beam photoelectric sensor with a flat-beam arrangement for object sensing across 300 mm. Its red LED forms the optical path between the emitter and receiver, while the PNP output provides the switching state to compatible PLC inputs and control circuitry. Dark-ON operation is specified, with a response time of 1 ms max. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 5 m pre-wired cable, giving additional wiring length between the sensing point and control equipment. Within the E3T Series, the E3T-FT24 5M provides the extended-cable PNP option. Related flat-beam through-beam sensors can be reviewed across Omron Automation Sensors.

The Omron E3T-FT24 5M Photoelectric Sensor uses flat-beam through-beam sensing across a 300 mm distance in a compact rectangular body. The sensing set uses the E3T-FT24-L emitter and E3T-FT24-D receiver. Its red LED forms the optical path between both sides, while the PNP output transfers the switching state from the receiver to compatible PLC inputs and control circuits. Dark-ON operation is specified. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and consumes 30 mA max. in total, with 10 mA max. for the emitter and 20 mA max. for the receiver. Operate or reset time is 1 ms max. A 5 m pre-wired cable provides additional wiring length between the sensor and control equipment.
For an Omron PNP through beam sensor requiring 300 mm sensing, Dark-ON logic, and extended wiring, the corresponding model is the E3T-FT24 5M. Polybutylene terephthalate is listed for the housing and denatured polyarylate for the optical section. IP67 protection is specified, with approximate weight of 40 g. Its specification also suits searches for an Omron flat beam sensor and Omron 5 m cable PNP sensor. The 1 ms response supports fast presence sensing and position confirmation across small machine openings. For the shorter-cable version with the same output and operating mode, see E3T-FT24 2M.
