Omron EE-SPY311 Photomicrosensor
Omron EE-SPY311 is a horizontal convergent-reflective photomicrosensor designed for close-range target sensing from 2 to 5 mm. Its optical arrangement concentrates the sensing area within the specified short range, while a modulated signal supports stable operation. The NPN output uses Dark-ON switching, and operating power is supplied from 5 to 24 VDC. Average current consumption is specified at 15 mA maximum, with a peak value of 50 mA maximum. The output supports up to 80 mA load current, and a special connector provides the electrical interface. A red indicator gives visual operating status. The EE-SPY311 provides horizontal sensing within the convergent reflective sensor range across Omron Short-Range Sensor Products.

The Omron EE-SPY311 Photomicrosensor uses horizontal convergent-reflective sensing across a specified 2 to 5 mm range. The convergent optical arrangement establishes a short sensing zone for monitoring objects positioned close to the sensor. It operates from 5 to 24 VDC and provides an NPN output with Dark-ON operation. Average current consumption is specified at 15 mA max., while peak current reaches 50 mA. The output supports up to 80 mA load current, with residual voltage stated as 1.0 V max. at an 80 mA load and 0.4 V max. at 10 mA. A red light indicator provides visual status during operation, and the optical signal is modulated. Electrical connection is handled through a special connector, supporting integration into compact sensing layouts.
The EE-SPY311 uses a polycarbonate case with a polybutylene terephthalate holder and operates from -10°C to 55°C. Storage temperature is specified from -25°C to 65°C, while operating humidity extends from 5% to 85%. Its vibration specification is 10 to 50 Hz at 1.5 mm double amplitude for two hours along each X, Y, and Z direction. Shock resistance is specified at 500 m/s² three times in each direction, and the enclosure carries an IP50 rating. The horizontal format is suitable where the sensing zone must extend laterally across a short 2 to 5 mm distance. For the vertical model using the same convergent-reflective range and Dark-ON switching, see the Omron EE-SPY312.
