The Omron E3ZT86AOMI is a through-beam photoelectric sensor from the E3Z series. It uses a visible red LED for its emitted beam, reaching 10 m between the emitter and receiver. Output is PNP with a 100 mA load capacity, switching in 1 ms. Connections go through an M8 4-pin connector. The IP67 rating means it handles washdown and dusty locations without a secondary enclosure.
Red vs. infrared: range and alignment trade-off
This sensor uses a visible red LED with a 10 m sensing distance. The infrared E3ZT86LOMI reaches 15 m.
