Omron E3S-CL2 2M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3S-CL2 2M is a distance-settable photoelectric sensor designed for object sensing across a range of 5 to 500 mm. Its 850 nm infrared LED provides the optical source, while the distance-setting principle allows the switching position to be established within the available sensing range. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC and supports selectable NPN or PNP output for compatible machine-control circuits. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected, while response time is specified at 2 ms. A 2 m pre-wired cable provides direct electrical connection. Within the E3S Series, the E3S-CL2 2M provides the 500 mm distance-setting option. Explore 500 mm distance sensors across Omron Industrial Sensors.

The Omron E3S-CL2 2M Photoelectric Sensor provides distance-settable sensing across a range of 5 to 500 mm using a 200 × 200 mm white-paper reference target at the 500 mm setting distance. Its 850 nm infrared LED provides the optical source, while selectable NPN or PNP output supports compatible machine-control circuitry. The sensor operates from 10 to 30 VDC and includes a 2 m pre-wired cable for electrical integration. Load current is rated at 100 mA maximum with load supply voltage up to 30 VDC. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required control logic. Current consumption is specified at 50 mA maximum, while operate or reset time is 2 ms maximum.
For an Omron distance settable photoelectric sensor requiring a wider 5 to 500 mm working range, the corresponding model is the E3S-CL2. Ambient-light resistance reaches 5,000 lx under incandescent light and 10,000 lx under sunlight. Operating temperature extends from -25 to 55°C, while storage ranges from -40 to 70°C. Power-supply reverse polarity, output short-circuit, and mutual-interference prevention are included. Zinc die-cast, PES, methacrylic resin, and SUS304 are among the listed materials. Its specification also suits searches for an Omron 500 mm distance sensor and Omron selectable NPN PNP sensor. For a shorter E3S distance-setting version covering 5 to 200 mm, see E3S-CL1 2M.
