Compact photoelectric sensor for precise object detection

The E3Z-R86 photoelectric sensor is an advanced detection solution in a compact rectangular housing, utilizing retro-reflective technology with MSR function. The device ensures reliable object detection at distances up to 4 meters while maintaining a minimum operating distance of just 100 mm.

Detection technology and design

At the heart of the sensor is a red polarized LED with a wavelength of 680 nm, which, combined with the MSR function, eliminates problems with false signals caused by surfaces reflecting light at different angles. The system operates in Light-ON/Dark-ON switchable mode, allowing for flexible adjustment of the operating logic to the specific requirements of the application.

The PNP output provides a maximum output current of 100 mA with a switching frequency reaching an impressive 1000 Hz. A response time of only 1 ms guarantees instantaneous detection even of fast-moving objects.

The housing, made of high-quality plastic, features dimensions of just 10.8 × 20 × 31 mm, making it ideal for installation in limited spaces. The IP67 protection rating ensures full resistance to dust and short-term immersion in water.

The device operates in a wide temperature range from -25°C to +50°C with a DC supply voltage of 12-24V (±10%). Additional protections include protection against short circuits and reverse polarity.

Installation and configuration

The sensor is equipped with a practical 4-pin M8 connector, enabling quick connection without the need for soldering wires. Manual sensitivity adjustment via a potentiometer allows for precise tuning of detection parameters to the conditions present in a specific application.

LED operating status signaling provides immediate feedback on the device status and its correct operation.

The MSR function is particularly appreciated in applications where mirror surfaces or shiny materials may generate false signals for traditional photoelectric sensors.

Compliance with safety standards

The device meets the requirements of the IEC 61496-1 standard for safety type class I.
