Omron E3AS-HL500LMN 2M is a high-precision photoelectric sensor designed for short-range object detection with excellent stability, even under bright lighting or on low-reflectivity surfaces. It uses a Class 1 red laser (660 nm) and supports a configurable sensing range starting at 35 mm. This sensor is ideal for industrial environments requiring accurate sensing on dark, shiny, or transparent objects.
The sensor includes a separate digital amplifier and is equipped with an NPN output. It operates on a 10 to 30 VDC Class 2 power supply and supports a total load current of up to 100 mA. A 2-meter pre-wired cable is standard, and built-in protection features include reverse polarity, output reverse polarity, and short-circuit protection. Its fast and selectable response time options (1.5 ms, 10 ms, 50 ms) make it adaptable for different machine speeds and response requirements.
Operational convenience is enhanced with a bright OLED display and status indicators for power, communication, and operation (orange LED). The E3AS-HL500LMN 2M operates reliably under ambient lighting conditions up to 25,000 lx (sunlight) at 250 mm distance and withstands temperatures from −20°C to 55°C. It also offers excellent durability with vibration resistance (10–55 Hz), shock resistance (500 m/s²), insulation resistance (20 MΩ), and strong dielectric strength (1,000 VAC).
Its enclosure is made of stainless steel (SUS316L), and the lens cover is methacrylic resin (PMMA) with antifouling coating—suitable for hygiene-sensitive industries. It meets IP67, IP67G, and IP69K protection standards, making it an excellent choice for use in washdown areas such as food, beverage, and pharmaceutical environments. The Omron E3AS-HL500LMN 2M offers precise, compact, and configurable laser sensing for automation systems that require reliability and hygiene compliance.
