Omron TL-W20ME1 2M Proximity Sensor
Omron TL-W20ME1 2M is a flat inductive, unshielded proximity sensor with a 20 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 16 mm setting distance. It uses a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with an iron 50 × 50 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 40 Hz minimum, current consumption is 8 mA at 12 VDC and 15 mA at 24 VDC, while differential travel ranges from 1% to 15% of sensing distance. A red detection indicator and IP67 protection are listed. The TL-W20ME1 2M is listed under flat inductive proximity sensors from Omron industrial sensors.

The Omron TL-W20ME1 2M Proximity Sensor uses a flat inductive, unshielded sensing structure with a 20 mm sensing distance and a 0 to 16 mm setting distance. It provides a DC 3-wire NPN output with NO operation through a pre-wired 2 m cable and operates from 12 to 24 VDC. Ferrous metal is the specified detectable object, with an iron 50 × 50 × 1 mm standard sensing object. Response frequency is 40 Hz minimum, current consumption is 8 mA at 12 VDC and 15 mA at 24 VDC, and differential travel ranges from 1% to 15% of sensing distance. A red detection indicator, reverse-polarity protection, and surge suppression are specified.
Operating and storage conditions for the TL-W20ME1 are -25 to 70°C without icing or condensation, with humidity from 35% to 95%. Temperature influence is ±10% max. of sensing distance at 23°C across -25 to 70°C. Insulation resistance is 50 MΩ min. at 500 VDC, dielectric strength is 1,000 VAC for 1 minute, and voltage influence is ±2.5% max. within rated voltage ±10%. IP67 is the specified protection level. For another TL-W flat inductive sensor using a pre-wired 2 m cable and DC 3-wire NPN NO output but a shorter 5 mm sensing distance, see TL-W5MC1 2M.
