The E3X-SD21 2M: Simple fiber amplifier unit designed for use with Omron E32-series fiber units (separate fibers). NPN open-collector output switches up to 50 mA on 12 to 24 V DC. Teach-in function sets light- or dark-on thresholds on the fly. Response time under 200 µs keeps up with fast-moving parts on packaging or pick-and-place lines. Rated IP50, housed in PBT, and sized at 64.3 × 31.5 × 10 mm for DIN-rail mounting in a control cabinet. The fixed 2 m lead terminates in bare wire; no connector options are available from this order code.

Product details
Frequently asked questions
What is the closest functional second-source?
The E3ZM-CT87B is a through-beam photoelectric sensor, not a fiber amplifier, and uses PNP output. It is not a direct functional replacement for the E3X-SD21 2M. The E3X-SD21 2M is a fiber amplifier with NPN output and a different sensing method.
What is the IP rating?
IP50.
Will it drop into a panel specified around E3ZM-CT87B without rewiring?
No. The E3X-SD21 2M is a fiber amplifier with a 2 m lead, while the E3ZM-CT87B is a through-beam photoelectric sensor with an M8 connector. Different form factor, mounting, and wiring; rewiring and a change in mounting approach are required.
