Omron E3Z-D81 2M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3Z-D81 2M is a diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor for direct object sensing across a distance of up to 100 mm. Its 870 nm infrared LED sends light toward the target, allowing the returned optical signal to establish the switching state without a separate reflector. The PNP output transfers this state to compatible industrial control inputs, while selectable Light-ON and Dark-ON operation supports different machine logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 2 m pre-wired cable. Current consumption is specified at 30 mA maximum, and response time is 1 ms maximum. Within the E3Z Series, the E3Z-D81 2M provides the PNP configuration for 100 mm diffuse sensors from Omron Sensor Products.

The Omron E3Z-D81 2M Photoelectric Sensor uses diffuse-reflective sensing for direct object sensing across a specified 100 mm distance. Its 870 nm infrared LED sends light toward the target, and the returned optical signal provides the information used to establish the switching state. The PNP output supports a maximum load current of 100 mA and a load supply voltage up to 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 and includes a 2 m pre-wired cable. Current consumption is specified at 30 mA maximum, response time at 1 ms maximum, and a one-turn adjuster supports sensitivity setting.
For an Omron short-range diffuse sensor requiring PNP output and direct target sensing, the relevant model is the E3Z-D81. 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 methacrylic resin are listed as construction materials. The specification also suits searches for an Omron 100 mm PNP photoelectric sensor and Omron infrared diffuse sensor. The one-turn adjuster supports sensitivity setting during machine setup. For a related 1 m PNP diffuse model with a 2 m cable, see the E3Z-D82 2M.
