Omron E3T-FT13 2M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3T-FT13 2M is an ultrathin through-beam photoelectric sensor designed for sensing opaque targets across a maximum distance of 500 mm. A 650 nm red LED establishes the optical path between the emitter and receiver, while the PNP open-collector output transfers the switching state to compatible control circuits. Light-ON operation is specified, with operate or reset time of 1 ms max. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC, consumes up to 30 mA across both sensing sides, and includes a 2 m pre-wired cable. Within the E3T Series, the E3T-FT13 2M provides the Light-ON PNP configuration. Related PNP through-beam sensors are available across Omron Sensing Products.

The Omron E3T-FT13 2M Photoelectric Sensor uses through-beam sensing across a maximum distance of 500 mm for opaque targets. The sensing set uses the E3T-FT13-L emitter and E3T-FT13-D receiver. A 650 nm red LED establishes the optical path, while the PNP open-collector output transfers the switching state from the receiver to compatible control circuitry. Light-ON operation is specified. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC, while combined current consumption is 30 mA max., divided between 10 mA max. for the emitter and 20 mA max. for the receiver. Operate or reset time is 1 ms max. A 2 m pre-wired cable provides connection, and opaque targets from 1.3 mm diameter are listed under the stated sensing specification.
For an Omron PNP through beam photoelectric sensor requiring 500 mm sensing and Light-ON logic, the relevant model is the E3T-FT13. Output load current is specified at 50 mA max., with load supply voltage up to 26.4 VDC. Operating temperature extends from -25 to 55°C, while storage is specified from -40 to 70°C without icing or condensation. Reverse-polarity and output short-circuit protection are included. PBT and denatured polyarylate are listed among the materials. Its specification also suits searches for an Omron 650 nm through beam sensor and Omron 500 mm PNP sensor. For the corresponding Dark-ON PNP version, see E3T-FT14 2M.
