Omron E3Z-G82 0.5M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3Z-G82 0.5M is a grooved through-beam photoelectric sensor with a fixed 25 mm sensing gap. Its 940 nm infrared LED establishes the optical path between the opposing sensing elements, while interruption by a target changes the switching state. The supplied specification identifies an NPN output with selectable Light-ON and Dark-ON operation for different machine-control requirements. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 0.5 m pre-wired cable for short wiring runs. Current consumption is specified at 25 mA maximum, while response time is 1 ms maximum. Within the E3Z Series, the E3Z-G82 0.5M provides a compact wired configuration for 25 mm slot sensors across Omron Sensor Products.

The Omron E3Z-G82 0.5M Photoelectric Sensor uses a grooved through-beam arrangement with a fixed 25 mm sensing gap. A 940 nm infrared LED establishes the optical path between the opposing elements, while interruption by a target changes the switching state. The supplied specification identifies NPN output with selectable Light-ON and Dark-ON operation. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and includes a 0.5 m pre-wired cable. Current consumption is specified at 25 mA maximum, while response time is 1 ms maximum. ABS and denatured polyarylate are listed as construction materials, supporting compact mounting where the sensing position and electrical connection are close together.
For an Omron grooved sensor requiring the supplied NPN architecture and a short pre-wired connection, the applicable model is the E3Z-G82. The fixed 25 mm slot establishes a repeatable sensing position and avoids the need to align separate through-beam components. Selectable switching behavior supports different control sequences, while operation from 12 to 24 VDC suits common industrial controls. The supplied specification states IP64 enclosure protection. Its configuration also fits searches for an Omron 25 mm slot sensor and Omron compact NPN photoelectric sensor. The 0.5 m cable suits installations where the control connection is positioned close to the sensing location. For the supplied 2 m E3Z-G82 version using PNP output, see the E3Z-G82 2M.
