E3Z-R61 Infrared Reflective Photoelectric Sensor Why choose this sensor Flexible sensing for many installations: adjustable detection range from 0 to 6.5 feet (0–2.0 m) lets you tune the sensor to the task, reducing false triggers and improving reliability. Reliable outdoor/indoor performance: ABS housing, robust anti-interference circuitry and a wide operating temperature range (−25°C to +75°C) make the unit stable in varied environments. Simple integration into existing systems: NPN output with selectable normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) operation and a wide supply range (DC 6–36 V) supports many control circuits. Key features and benefits Reflective infrared design: transmitter and receiver are co-located and use a reflector. The sensor detects any object that blocks the reflected beam, providing consistent, repeatable detection without separate receiver alignment. Adjustable detection distance: set the sensing range from 0 to 6.5 feet to match your application and avoid unwanted triggers. Tough, low-maintenance construction: ABS housing resists impact and weather exposure for dependable long-term use. High compatibility: NPN output can be switched between NO and NC to match your input logic. Operates across DC 6–36 V and supports loads up to 300 mA. Stable operation: built-in anti-interference capabilities reduce false triggers from ambient light or electrical noise. Performance and installation notes Model: E3Z-R61 Sensing range: 0–6.5 ft (0–2.0 m), adjustable Output type: NPN, selectable NO/NC Supply voltage: DC 6–36 V Load capacity: up to 300 mA Housing: ABS Operating temperature: −25°C to +75°C Reflective sensor requires a reflector positioned opposite the sensor for correct operation Practical applications (examples) Automatic door and garage door safety: mount the sensor to detect people or vehicles approaching or blocking an opening. Adjustable range lets you avoid false trips from nearby fixtures. Production-line object detection: use for small-part presence sensing where a reflector-based beam ensures consistent detection and low maintenance. Entrance monitoring and parking assist: install at storefronts, gates or parking bays to detect approach and trigger alarms, lights or entry systems. What this product solves Eliminates alignment complexities of separate emitter/receiver systems by using a reflector-based configuration. Reduces false activations with adjustable range and anti-interference design. Integrates with a wide range of existing controls thanks to selectable NO/NC output and broad operating voltage. For reliable, adjustable reflective sensing in indoor or outdoor settings, the E3Z-R61 delivers straightforward installation, strong environmental tolerance, and flexible output options for many security and automation needs.
