Omron E3NC-SA24 Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3NC-SA24 is an amplifier unit for the E3NC ultra-compact CMOS laser sensing system with one NPN output and one input. It processes information from a compatible sensing head and provides the switching interface for machine-control circuitry. The amplifier operates from 12 to 30 VDC and uses an M8 connector for electrical connection, allowing the unit to be disconnected without removing a fixed cable. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected, while the listed response time is 1.5 ms maximum. Timer settings support several delayed switching modes for different control sequences. Within the E3NC Series, the E3NC-SA24 provides the connector-based amplifier option. Related M8 laser sensor amplifiers can be explored across Omron Sensing Products.

The Omron E3NC-SA24 Photoelectric Sensor is an amplifier unit for the E3NC ultra-compact CMOS laser sensing system with one NPN output and one input. It operates from 12 to 30 VDC and uses an M8 connector for detachable electrical connection. Power consumption is specified at 1,922 mW maximum, while Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required switching logic. Response time is listed at 1.5 ms maximum. Timer settings include disabled, OFF-delay, ON-delay, one-shot, and combined ON-delay plus OFF-delay modes from 1 to 9,999 ms. A white main display and green sub display provide setup information, together with OUT, L/D, ST, DPC, and output-selection indicators. Output short-circuit protection is also listed for the amplifier.
For an Omron NPN laser amplifier requiring an M8 connector and one output plus one input, the relevant model is the E3NC-SA24. Operating temperature extends from -25 to 55°C, while storage is specified from -30 to 70°C. The supplied specification lists polycarbonate for the case and cover, with PVC among the stated materials. Its configuration also matches searches for an Omron M8 sensor amplifier and Omron compact CMOS laser amplifier. The connector interface can simplify amplifier replacement where detachable wiring is preferred over a fixed cable. This model serves as the switching and signal-processing interface for compatible E3NC sensing heads. For a related E3NC amplifier with two NPN outputs, one input, and a 2 m pre-wired cable, see E3NC-SA21 2M.
