Omron E3Z-D82 0.5M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3Z-D82 0.5M is a diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for direct object sensing across a stated 1 m distance. Its 870 nm infrared LED sends light toward the target, and the returned optical signal is evaluated by the sensor to establish object presence. The supplied configuration uses NPN output with selectable Light-ON and Dark-ON operation for different switching requirements. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 0.5 m pre-wired cable. Current consumption is specified at 30 mA maximum, while response time is 1 ms maximum. Within the E3Z Series, the E3Z-D82 0.5M provides a short-cable configuration for long-range diffuse sensors from Omron Automation Sensors.

The Omron E3Z-D82 0.5M Photoelectric Sensor uses diffuse-reflective sensing across a stated 1 m working distance. Its 870 nm infrared LED sends light toward the target, while the sensor evaluates the returned optical signal directly without requiring a reflector. The supplied configuration uses NPN output with selectable Light-ON and Dark-ON operation for different machine logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 0.5 m pre-wired cable. Current consumption is specified at 30 mA maximum, while response time is 1 ms maximum. The compact square construction uses PBT and denatured polyarylate materials, supporting installation where the sensing point and electrical connection are positioned close together.
For an Omron diffuse photoelectric sensor requiring the supplied NPN architecture and 1 m sensing range, the applicable model is the E3Z-D82. Direct target sensing eliminates the need for a separate reflector and allows the target surface itself to return the optical signal. The sensor operates from a common 12 to 24 VDC supply and provides selectable switching behavior for different automation sequences. IP67 enclosure protection is stated in the supplied specification. This configuration also suits searches for an Omron NPN diffuse sensor and Omron 1 m infrared photoelectric sensor. Its 0.5 m cable supports installations with nearby control wiring. For another E3Z-D82 configuration using PNP output and a 2 m pre-wired cable, see the E3Z-D82 2M.
