Omron E3Z-LR66 Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3Z-LR66 is a laser retro-reflective photoelectric sensor with an MSR function for sensing opaque targets from 0.2 to 7 m when used with the E39-R12 reflector. Its 655 nm red laser establishes the optical path toward the reflector, while the NPN open-collector output communicates the switching state to compatible machine-control equipment. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and uses a 4-pin M8 connector for detachable wiring. Current consumption is specified at 30 mA maximum, response time at 1 ms maximum, and a one-turn adjuster supports sensitivity setting. Within the E3Z Series, the E3Z-LR66 provides connector-based NPN sensing within the long-range laser sensor range across Omron Automation Sensors.

The Omron E3Z-LR66 Photoelectric Sensor uses laser retro-reflective sensing with an MSR function across a range from 0.2 to 7 m when used with the E39-R12 reflector. Its 655 nm red laser establishes the optical path between the sensor and reflector, while the NPN open-collector output supports a load supply voltage up to 26.4 VDC and load current up to 100 mA. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required control logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and uses a 4-pin M8 connector for electrical integration. Current consumption is specified at 30 mA maximum, response time at 1 ms maximum, and a one-turn adjuster supports sensitivity setting.
For an Omron long-range laser sensor requiring NPN output, an M8 connector, and retro-reflective MSR sensing, the applicable model is the E3Z-LR66. Ambient-light resistance reaches 3,000 lx under incandescent light and 10,000 lx under sunlight. Operating temperature extends from -10 to 55°C, while storage covers -25 to 70°C without icing or condensation. Reverse supply polarity, output short-circuit, mutual-interference, and reversed-output polarity protection are included. PBT and methacrylic resin are listed as construction materials. The detachable M8 connection supports machine wiring where connector-based replacement is preferred. Its specification also suits searches for an Omron NPN M8 laser sensor and Omron 7 m retro-reflective sensor. For the PNP M8 version with the same 0.2 to 7 m range, see the E3Z-LR86.
