Omron E3T-FL11 2M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3T-FL11 2M is an ultrathin BGS reflective photoelectric sensor designed for object sensing from 1 to 15 mm. Background suppression helps restrict the sensing area and reduce the influence of surfaces positioned beyond the intended target zone. A 650 nm red LED provides the optical source, while the NPN open-collector output sends the switching state to compatible control circuitry. Light-ON operation is specified, and operate or reset time is 1 ms max. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 2 m pre-wired cable. Within the E3T Series, the E3T-FL11 2M provides the short-range NPN BGS configuration. Related background suppression sensors can be reviewed across Omron Industrial Sensor Products.

The Omron E3T-FL11 2M Photoelectric Sensor uses BGS reflective sensing across a short 1 to 15 mm range. Background suppression helps limit the active sensing area and reduce the influence of surfaces positioned beyond the intended target zone. A 650 nm red LED provides the optical source, and the sensor can sense a 0.15 mm diameter non-glossy target at a 10 mm distance under the stated condition. The NPN open-collector output transfers the switching state to compatible control circuitry, while Light-ON operation is specified. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC, consumes 20 mA max., and responds within 1 ms max. A 2 m pre-wired cable provides electrical connection, while orange operation and green stability indicators provide visual status.
For an Omron background suppression photoelectric sensor requiring short 1 to 15 mm sensing and NPN output, the corresponding model is the E3T-FL11. Output load current is specified at 50 mA max., with load power-supply voltage up to 26.4 VDC. Operating temperature extends from -25 to 55°C, while storage reaches -40 to 70°C without icing or condensation. Reverse-polarity protection, output short-circuit protection, and mutual-interference prevention are included. Its specification also suits searches for an Omron BGS NPN sensor and Omron 15 mm photoelectric sensor. For the related NPN BGS model with Dark-ON operation across the same 1 to 15 mm sensing range, see E3T-FL12 2M.
