Omron E3Z-B81 2M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3Z-B81 2M is a retro-reflective photoelectric sensor without an MSR function for sensing from 500 mm to 2 m when used with the E39-R1S reflector. Its 660 nm red LED establishes the optical path between the sensor and reflector, while the PNP output transfers the switching state to compatible control circuitry. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required machine logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 2 m pre-wired cable. Response time is specified at 1 ms maximum, current consumption is 30 mA maximum, and a one-turn adjuster supports sensitivity setting. Within the E3Z Series, the E3Z-B81 2M provides the 2 m PNP configuration. Related PNP retro-reflective sensors can be explored across Omron Sensing Products.

The Omron E3Z-B81 2M Photoelectric Sensor uses retro-reflective sensing without an MSR function across a range from 500 mm to 2 m when used with the E39-R1S reflector. Its 660 nm red LED establishes the optical path, while the PNP output communicates the switching state to compatible control circuitry. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required machine logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 2 m pre-wired cable. Response time is specified at 1 ms maximum, current consumption is 30 mA maximum, and a one-turn adjuster supports sensitivity setting. Ambient-light resistance reaches 3,000 lx under incandescent light and 10,000 lx under sunlight.
For an Omron PNP retro-reflective sensor requiring a 2 m cable and a sensing range extending to 2 m, the applicable model is the E3Z-B81. Operating temperature extends from -25 to 55°C, while storage covers -40 to 70°C without icing or condensation. Reverse supply polarity, output short-circuit, mutual-interference, and reversed-output polarity protection are listed. PBT and denatured polyarylate are specified as construction materials. Its configuration also suits searches for an Omron 2 m PNP sensor and Omron transparent object photoelectric sensor. For the shorter-cable version listed with an 80 to 500 mm range, see the E3Z-B81 0.5M. Both versions use selectable Light-ON or Dark-ON operation.
