The Omron E3S-CL2 2M leverages a powerful infrared LED (850 nm) light source and features a configurable sensing range of 5 to 500 mm, allowing accurate object detection with a fixed setting distance of 500 mm on white targets. Supporting both NPN and PNP output configurations and Light-ON/Dark-ON operation modes, it integrates easily into varied PLC and automation setups. Designed for demanding factory conditions, it operates within a 10 to 30 VDC supply and maintains a 2 ms response time to ensure prompt and stable detection.
Built to perform in harsh conditions, this sensor incorporates reverse polarity protection, short-circuit protection, and mutual interference prevention. Its rugged enclosure—made of zinc die-cast, PES (Polyether sulfone), methacrylic resin, and stainless steel (SUS304)—delivers high durability against vibration, impact, and oil exposure. With IP67 and NEMA 6P (indoor) protection ratings, the E3S-CL2 2M is optimized for dusty, humid, and oil-prone environments common in industrial sites.
Trusted by automation engineers for precise, stable, and interference-free performance, the Omron E3S-CL2 2M Photoelectric Sensor is a reliable solution for space-limited, performance-critical setups.
