What is the sensing method used by this photoelectric sensor?

The Omron E3S-AD36 photoelectric sensor utilises a diffuse reflective sensing method, which allows it to detect objects without the need for a separate reflector or receiver.

Can the sensitivity of the sensor be adjusted?

Yes, the sensor features a two-turn (endless) sensitivity adjuster with an indicator, enabling fine-tuning of the detection sensitivity to suit various application requirements.

What type of output does the sensor provide?

The sensor provides an open collector current output, which can be either NPN or PNP, depending on the specific model.

Is there any protection against circuit issues?

The sensor is equipped with circuit protection features, including load short-circuit protection, reverse connection protection, and mutual interference prevention, ensuring reliable operation and safeguarding against electrical issues.

What are the indicators available on the sensor?

The sensor is equipped with a light indicator (red) and a stability indicator (green), which provide visual feedback on the sensor's status and alignment.

What materials are used in the construction of the sensor?

The sensor's case is made of polybutylene terephthalate, the lens is crafted from denaturated polyallalate, and the mounting bracket is constructed from stainless steel (SUS304), ensuring durability and resistance to various environmental conditions.

What is the operating mode of the sensor?

The sensor can operate in either Dark-ON or Light-ON mode, which can be selected based on the application's requirements. This feature allows the sensor to be versatile in different lighting conditions.

Are there any accessories included with the sensor?

The sensor comes with several accessories, including a mounting bracket, sensitivity adjustor knob, screws, sensitivity adjustor cover, and a close-mounting plate for models with connector terminals.

What is the wavelength of the LED light source in the sensor?

The sensor uses an LED light source with a wavelength of either 700 nm (red) or 880 nm (infrared), depending on the specific model and application needs.

How can I prevent accidental changes to the sensitivity settings?

To prevent unintentional adjustments to the sensitivity settings, the sensor is provided with an adjustor cap that can be used to cover the sensitivity adjustor once the desired setting is achieved.
