Omron E3Z-T86A Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3Z-T86A is a through-beam photoelectric sensor designed for object sensing across a specified distance of 10 m. The sensing arrangement uses the E3Z-T86-A-L emitter and E3Z-T86-A-D receiver, with a 660 nm red LED establishing the optical path between them. The PNP output communicates the switching state to compatible PLC and machine-control circuitry, while selectable Light-ON and Dark-ON operation supports different control requirements. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and uses an M8 connector for electrical integration. Total current consumption is specified at 35 mA maximum, while response time is 1 ms maximum. A one-turn adjuster supports setup. Within the E3Z Series, the E3Z-T86A provides connector wiring within the 10 m red LED through-beam sensor range across Omron Automation Products.

The Omron E3Z-T86A Photoelectric Sensor uses through-beam sensing across a specified distance of 10 m. The sensing arrangement includes the E3Z-T86-A-L emitter and E3Z-T86-A-D receiver, with a 660 nm red LED establishing the optical path between them. The PNP output communicates the switching state to compatible industrial control circuitry. The sensing units operate from 12 to 24 VDC and consume 35 mA maximum in total, with 15 mA maximum specified for the emitter and 20 mA maximum for the receiver. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required control logic, while operate or reset time is 1 ms maximum. A one-turn adjuster supports setup, and an M8 connector provides removable machine-side wiring. Ambient-light limits are specified for incandescent illumination and sunlight.
For an Omron red LED through-beam sensor requiring PNP output, 10 m sensing, and connector wiring, the relevant model is the E3Z-T86A. Operating temperature is stated from -25 to 55°C under the supplied conditions, while storage extends from -40 to 70°C. Operating humidity covers 35% to 85%, and insulation resistance is specified at 20 MΩ minimum at 500 VDC. Reversed power-supply polarity protection, output short-circuit protection, and reversed output-polarity protection are listed. PBT is specified as the housing material. Its M8 interface provides an alternative to fixed cable versions while retaining the stated 10 m optical range. For a related PNP version using 2 m pre-wired cables, see E3Z-T81A 2M.
