Product details

Through-beam detection in a slim package

The E3C-S30W 2M is a compact head through-beam photoelectric sensor from Omron's E3C series, built for detecting objects as small as 1.5 mm diameter at up to 300 mm separation between emitter and receiver. The slim polycarbonate housing and 2 m pre-wired cable make it a direct swap for existing E3C-series mounts — no need to re-engineer the bracket or re-pull the cable run.

IP60 — dry cabinet only, not washdown

Rated IP60 per IEC60529, this sensor is protected against dust ingress but not against water jets or immersion. It belongs in a dry control cabinet or enclosed machine frame, not on a washdown line or outdoors. The -25 to +70 °C operating range suits most indoor industrial environments, but the polycarbonate case should be kept away from aggressive solvents that could craze the lens window.

Listed as a mature product, the E3C-S30W 2M remains in Omron's active catalog.

Frequently asked questions

What is the sensing method and range of the E3C-S30W 2M?

It uses a through-beam sensing method with a maximum sensing distance of 300 mm. The minimum detectable object diameter is 1.5 mm.

Can the E3C-S30W 2M be used in wet or washdown environments?

No. The IP60 rating means it is dust-tight but not protected against water. Use it in dry indoor locations only.

What cable length and termination does this sensor have?

It comes with a 2 m pre-wired cable, ready for direct connection to a terminal block or PLC input module.
