Buying Checklist
- Choose E3Z-R86 for a PNP M8-connector MSR sensor at a 4 m range.
- Choose E3Z-R66 (NPN) or E3Z-R8 (3 m) for different output or range options.
- Confirm an E39-R1S reflector and an XS3F-M42@-402-A M8 cordset are on the order.

FAQ for E3Z-R86
What is the difference between E3Z-R86 and E3Z-B86?
Both are cuboid E3Z retro-reflective sensors on an M8 4-pin connector, but they handle different targets. E3Z-R86 has MSR polarised red light at 4 m, which is ideal for shiny, mirror-like surfaces. E3Z-B86 is the clear-bottle sensor without MSR at 500 mm, tuned for thin PET. Pick the R family for shiny surfaces; pick the B family for clear plastic.
What reflector and cable does the E3Z-R86 need?
The reflector is sold separately. Use the E39-R1S (40 × 60 mm) for the 4 m range; the smaller E39-R3 reflector drops the range to about 1.5 m. For the M8 connector, add an XS3F-M421-402-A straight cordset or XS3F-M422-402-A right-angle cordset, both 2 m PVC. Use a PUR-cable XS3F cordset for sub-zero or washdown areas.
Why is the rated range on the E3Z-R86 only 4 m, not 10 m?
The MSR polarising filter blocks about half of the returned light, so the maximum reliable range is shorter than a non-MSR retro sensor. Omron's plain E3Z-R61 / R81 with the E39-R1S reaches 4 m as well, and the through-beam E3Z-T family reaches 15 m or 30 m when a longer range is needed. The 4 m figure is the worst-case with the standard E39-R1S reflector and the datasheet's reference target.
