Omron E3Z-B86 Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3Z-B86 is a retro-reflective photoelectric sensor without the MSR function for sensing clear plastic bottles from 500 mm to 2 m. Its 660 nm red LED establishes the optical path between the sensor and reflector, while the PNP output transfers the switching state to compatible PLC inputs and machine-control equipment. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required switching logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and uses a standard M8 connector for electrical integration. Current consumption is specified at 30 mA maximum, response time at 1 ms maximum, and a one-turn adjuster supports sensitivity setting. Within the E3Z Series, the E3Z-B86 provides a connector-based PNP configuration. Related PNP clear bottle sensors are available across the Omron Sensor Range.

The Omron E3Z-B86 Photoelectric Sensor uses retro-reflective sensing without the MSR function for clear plastic bottle sensing across a range from 500 mm to 2 m. A 660 nm red LED establishes the optical path, while the PNP output supports a maximum load current of 100 mA and load supply voltage of 26.4 VDC. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required machine logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC, consumes up to 30 mA, and responds within 1 ms. A standard M8 connector provides the electrical interface, while a one-turn adjuster supports sensitivity setting. Orange operation and green stability indicators provide visual operating information.
For an Omron clear bottle sensor requiring PNP output, an M8 connector, and a long sensing range, the applicable model is the E3Z-B86. Ambient-light resistance is specified at 3,000 lx under incandescent light and 10,000 lx under sunlight. 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 included. PBT and modified polyarylate are listed as housing materials. The configuration also matches searches for an Omron PNP retro-reflective sensor and Omron M8 bottle sensor. For another PNP connector model with the same supplied 500 mm to 2 m range, see the E3Z-B87.
