Omron E3FB-BP12 2M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3FB-BP12 2M is a PNP retro-reflective photoelectric sensor with a 2000 mm sensing distance, red LED source, and cylindrical M18 metal body. It operates from 10 to 30 VDC and uses a pre-wired 2 m cable for direct machine connection. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected to match the required switching logic, while the 0.5 ms response supports fast-moving applications. A P-opaquing function and transparent-object sensing capability are also listed for this model. Within the E3FB Series, the E3FB-BP12 2M provides the long-range cable option. Applications requiring a reflective optical path can explore 2 m retro-reflective photoelectric sensors across Omron Sensors.

The Omron E3FB-BP12 2M Photoelectric Sensor uses retro-reflective sensing with a 2000 mm operating distance and a cylindrical M18 metal body. Its red LED sends light toward the reflector, and changes in the returned optical path are used for object sensing. The PNP output transfers the switching state to compatible PLC inputs and machine-control circuits. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected to suit different control sequences. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC, consumes 25 mA max., and includes a pre-wired 2 m cable for direct electrical connection. Response time is specified at 0.5 ms. The nickel-plated brass body measures 44 mm in length, providing a compact threaded mounting arrangement. IP67 and IP69K enclosure ratings are listed for installations where dust, moisture, or washdown exposure may be present.
For an Omron retro-reflective photoelectric sensor requiring PNP output, 2 m sensing, M18 mounting, and fixed cable wiring, the relevant model is the E3FB-BP12. The supplied data also lists a P-opaquing function together with transparent-object sensing capability, supporting applications where optical characteristics vary between targets. Its visible red LED assists alignment with the reflector, while selectable output operation allows the switching state to follow the required machine logic. The specification also suits searches for an Omron PNP retro-reflective sensor and Omron M18 photoelectric sensor. For a related PNP E3FB model using coaxial retro-reflective sensing with a 500 mm range and M12 connector, see E3FB-BP21.
