Frequently Asked Questions
What is the OMRON E2E-X2D1-N?
It is an M8 cylindrical inductive proximity sensor in the OMRON E2E NEXT series, with a 2 mm sensing distance, shielded construction and normally open DC two-wire output.
What is the sensing distance?
The rated sensing distance is 2 mm ±10% with the specified iron target. OMRON recommends a setting distance from 0 to 1.6 mm.
Is this an NPN or PNP sensor?
Neither. The E2E-X2D1-N is a polarized DC two-wire sensor. It must not be wired as a three-wire NPN or PNP device.
Is the output normally open or normally closed?
The E2E-X2D1-N is normally open. The corresponding normally closed model is E2E-X2D2-N.
What power supply voltage is required?
The specified supply is 10 to 30 VDC, including a maximum 10% peak-to-peak ripple allowance.
What is the permissible switching load current?
The load current range is 3 to 100 mA. The specified maximum leakage current is 0.8 mA and the maximum residual voltage is 3 V under the stated test conditions.
What is the response frequency?
The specified response frequency is 1500 Hz under manufacturer test conditions.
Can the E2E-X2D1-N be mounted flush with metal?
Yes. It is a shielded sensor designed for compatible flush mounting. Follow OMRON's mounting clearances and mutual-interference spacing requirements.
What is the cable length?
The standard full ordering designation E2E-X2D1-N 2M includes a 2 m PVC cable. Other cable lengths exist, so confirm the suffix and supplied configuration.
What is the environmental protection rating?
OMRON specifies IP67 under IEC 60529, along with IP67G and IP69K evaluations. The operating temperature range is -25 to +70°C without freezing or condensation.
What is the difference between E2E-X2D1-N and E2E-X2D1-M1G?
Both are M8 shielded DC two-wire normally open sensors with a 2 mm sensing distance. The -N is a pre-wired cable type, while the -M1G uses an M12 connector, resulting in different connection and body configurations.
What should be checked before ordering?
Confirm the exact E2E-X2D1-N designation, M8 thread, 2 mm sensing distance, shielded mounting, normally open two-wire circuit, 10 to 30 VDC supply, 3 to 100 mA load requirement, cable length, mounting dimensions and compatibility with the intended control input.
