Omron E3T-FT13 5M Ultracompact Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3T-FT13 5M is an ultrathin through-beam photoelectric sensor designed for object sensing over a 500 mm distance. Its red LED creates the optical path between the emitter and receiver, while the PNP output sends the resulting switching state to compatible PLC inputs and machine-control circuitry. Light-ON operation defines the specified logic, and response time is 1 ms max. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 5 m pre-wired cable for additional wiring length. Its rectangular body supports mounting in restricted machine areas. Within the E3T Series, the E3T-FT13 5M provides the long-cable PNP configuration. Related 500 mm PNP sensors can be compared across Omron Industrial Sensor Products.

The Omron E3T-FT13 5M Photoelectric Sensor uses through-beam sensing across a maximum distance of 500 mm in a compact rectangular body. The sensing set uses the E3T-FT13-L emitter and E3T-FT13-D receiver. A red LED provides the optical path between both sides, while the PNP output transfers the switching state from the receiver to compatible PLC inputs and industrial control circuitry. Light-ON operation defines the specified switching logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC, and combined current consumption is stated at 30 mA max., with 10 mA max. for the emitter and 20 mA max. for the receiver. Operate or reset time is 1 ms max. A 5 m pre-wired cable provides extended wiring between the sensor location and control equipment.
For an Omron PNP through beam sensor requiring 500 mm sensing and a longer cable, the corresponding model is the E3T-FT13 5M. Polybutylene terephthalate is listed for the housing and denatured polyarylate for the optical section. IP67 protection is specified, with approximate weight of 40 g. Its configuration also fits searches for an Omron Light ON PNP sensor and Omron 5 m cable through beam sensor. The 1 ms response supports fast presence sensing and position confirmation in compact equipment. For the related Dark-ON PNP model with the same 500 mm sensing distance and 5 m cable, see E3T-FT14 5M.
