Information About E3G-R17-G
The E3G-R17-G is part of the Omron E3G series of industrial photoelectric sensors known for long-range detection and rugged performance. It uses a retroreflective sensing method, where a red LED light beam is reflected from an external reflector and interruptions in the beam are detected as objects pass through the sensing area. The device includes selectable Light-ON or Dark-ON operating modes and supports both NPN and PNP output configurations for compatibility with various control systems. With a durable IP67-rated housing and adjustable sensitivity, the sensor is designed to perform reliably in demanding industrial environments.
