The Omron E3Z-T86 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor with a 15 m rated sensing distance, PNP output, and M8 connector. It uses an infrared LED, switches in 1 ms max (operate or reset), and runs on 12 to 24 VDC. The operating temperature range is -40 to 55 °C, and the enclosure is IP67.
Key ratings in context
Response time is 1 ms max for either operate or reset, which sets the minimum detectable object speed. The IP67 rating allows washdown and dust ingress protection. The light-ON/dark-ON selector via the single-turn adjustment gives flexibility without changing wiring. Operating temperature down to -40°C suits cold storage or outdoor installations within the specified range.
