The Omron E3S-CD12 2M is a rugged, oil-resistant photoelectric sensor designed for long-range detection and harsh factory environments. With a diffuse-reflective sensing method and a maximum sensing distance of 2 meters, it detects standard opaque objects reliably without requiring a separate reflector. Its infrared LED (850 nm) ensures stable performance, even in challenging lighting conditions.
Operating on 10 to 30 VDC (including 10% ripple), the sensor supports both NPN and PNP output configurations, selectable to suit the control system. The open collector output handles up to 100 mA with residual voltages of 1.2 V (NPN) or 2.0 V (PNP). The unit features a Light-ON/Dark-ON selectable mode for flexible logic implementation and includes built-in protection against reverse polarity, short circuits, and mutual interference.
The E3S-CD12 2M provides quick response with an operate/reset time of 2 ms max. Sensitivity can be fine-tuned using a two-turn endless adjuster, which is accompanied by a visual indicator for alignment and setup. With a current consumption of 40 mA max, this sensor is energy efficient and easy to install with a standard pre-wired 2-meter cable.
It operates reliably in ambient temperatures from β25Β°C to 55Β°C and handles storage temperatures down to β40Β°C. Humidity tolerance ranges from 35% to 95% RH, with no condensation. For durability, the sensor withstands vibration from 10 to 2,000 Hz (1.5-mm double amplitude or 300 m/sΒ²) and shock resistance up to 1,000 m/sΒ² across all axes.
Its housing meets IP67 and NEMA 6P standards, offering strong protection against dust, water, and oil, making it ideal for food, metal, packaging, and machine tool industries. The Omron E3S-CD12 2M combines long-range sensing with high durability, making it a trusted choice for demanding industrial sensing tasks.
