Field note
E32T162M is a through-beam fiber sensor head with a 4 m rated sensing distance. That range is the headline – it covers long conveyor gaps or large machine openings where a standard diffuse sensor won't reach. Cable is 2 m, PVC sheathed, held in with an M4 screw. IP67 means it survives washdown cycles if the connector is torqued correctly.
Marked as mature on the lifecycle stage. That means production is stable – no pending phase-out, but not a new-generation part either. Expect consistent supply; no last-time-buy pressure.
Head mounts with an M4 screw – check your bracket thread. The 2 m cable is enough for most panels; if you need longer, plan on an intermediate junction box. Wire into a fiber amplifier (e.g., E3X series) using the standard 2 mm fiber core. IP67 seal works only if the cable gland at the amplifier side is also rated.
