Omron E3AS-HL500MT M3 Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3AS-HL500MT M3 is a distance-settable photoelectric sensor using spot-type Class 1 red laser sensing from approximately 35 to 500 mm. Its focused 660 nm optical spot supports adjustable target positioning, while the PNP output communicates the switching state to compatible industrial controls. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC and uses an M8 connector for detachable machine wiring. Response time can be selected from 1.5 ms, 10 ms, or 50 ms according to the application. Within the E3AS Series, the E3AS-HL500MT M3 provides the PNP spot-type configuration. For adjustable sensing where a focused optical spot and connector wiring are required, spot-type laser photoelectric sensors are available across Omron Sensors.

The Omron E3AS-HL500MT M3 Photoelectric Sensor provides distance-settable spot sensing from approximately 35 to 500 mm using a 660 nm Class 1 red laser. Its focused optical spot supports controlled target positioning across the specified range, while the PNP output sends the switching state to compatible PLC and machine-control inputs. Operating voltage is 10 to 30 VDC, and an M8 connector provides detachable machine wiring. Total load current for the two outputs is rated at 100 mA max. Response speed can be selected from 1.5 ms, 10 ms, or 50 ms according to the required operating sequence. Power-supply reverse polarity, output short-circuit, and output reverse-polarity protection are specified. A white OLED display provides parameter visibility, supported by a power and communication indicator and an orange operation indicator.
For an Omron distance-settable photoelectric sensor requiring a 35 to 500 mm range, PNP output, M8 connector, and focused laser spot, the corresponding model is the E3AS-HL500MT M3. Operating temperature extends from -20 to 55°C, with storage from -40 to 70°C under the stated conditions. SUS316L stainless steel forms the housing, while an antifouling PMMA lens covers the optical surface. The model also suits searches for an Omron PNP laser sensor, Omron M8 photoelectric sensor, and Omron stainless-steel laser sensor.
