Features
Retroreflective Models
Though the Size Is Compact, the Sensing
Distance Is as Long as 10m.
Replace the conventional through-beam model with the retroreflective model for saving wiring and installation space.

Function
Sensitivity adjustment without being influenced by background objects is possible by simply pressing a button. Useful
for teaching without a sensing object.
General
Select either transistor (NPN/PNP selectable) or relay output. Three connection
methods (plus a model with a timer function). Select either a DC power supply or a
variable power
supply: 24 V to 240 VAC or 12 to 240 VDC).
Easy Optimum Sensing Distance Adjustments
Teaching with and without a sensing object ensures highly accurate detection without influence from the background.

Since the Sensor can have a threshold value not
only in front of the background but also beyond the
background, it is possible to detect objects such as
mirror-surface objects that do not return light from
the object surface.

Wiring Considerations
• The cable with an external diameter of 6 to 8 mm is recommended.
• Securely tighten the cover to maintain water resistance and
dust resistance. The thread size of the conduit socket is PG
13.5
• Do not tighten with the cable caught by the terminal protection cover. Otherwise, the water-resistant structure and like
cannot be maintained.

Load Relay Contact
If a load is used that will spark when it is turned OFF (e.g. a
contactor or valve), the usually closed side may be turned ON
before the usually open side is turned OFF or vice versa. If
both usually open output and usually closed output are used
simultaneously, apply an surge suppressor to the load. (Refer
to OMRON's "Switch/Relay/Connector (PCB Product) Catalog" for typical examples of surge suppressors.
Wiring Considerations
Connection/Wiring
The E3G has load short-circuit protection. If load short-circuit
or like has occurred, the output turns OFF. Therefore, recheck
the wiring and switch power on again. This resets the shortcircuit protection circuit. Load short-circuit protection is activated when a current of 2 times or more of the rated load current flows. When using an L load, use the one the inrush
current of which is less than 1.2 times of the rated load current.

Mounting
• If Sensors are mounted face-to-face, ensure that no optical
axes cross each other. Otherwise, mutual interference may
result.
• Be sure to install the Sensor carefully so that the directional
angle range of the Sensor will not be directly exposed to intensive light, such as sunlight, fluorescent light, or incandescent light.
• Do not strike the Photoelectric Sensor with a hammer or any
other tool during the installation of the Sensor, or the Sensor
will loose its water-resistive properties.
• Use M4 screws for Sensor installation.
• For case installation, tighten it to the torque of 1.2 Nm max.
Water Resistance
Tighten the operation cover screws and terminal block cover
screws to a torque of 0.3 to 0.5 Nm in order to ensure water
resistivity.
