Lanbao PSM-PM-E2 - M18 Polarized Reflection Photoelectric Sensor The Lanbao PSM-PM-E2 is an M18 cylindrical photoelectric sensor designed for 3 m polarized reflector sensing with detachable M12 wiring for modular production equipment. It uses polarized reflection sensing, 3 m rated distance with reflector reference, Red light, 640 nm, NPN NO/NC or PNP NO/NC switching, and a 10-30 VDC supply range, giving machine builders a compact sensor format for part presence, package detection, material handling, and automation input signals. This PSM version uses detachable M12 4-pin wiring, max. 0.5 ms response time, max. 20 mA consumption current, max. 100 mA load current, short-circuit protection, overload protection, reverse-polarity protection, IP67 protection, and CE certification. For nearby choices in the Lanbao photoelectric range, compare Lanbao PSM-PM cable version, Lanbao PSM-TM-E2 through-beam sensor, and Lanbao PSM-GM-E2 transparent sensor before selecting the final sensing mode or wiring format. Commissioning should be done with the actual target, bracket, cable length, reflector where required, and machine background in place. Confirm the green stability indicator and yellow output indicator, verify the NO/NC wiring mode, and record the final sensor position so replacement units can be aligned consistently during maintenance.

M18 threaded body - Mounts through a bracket or panel using M18 nuts; avoid excessive torque. Power indicator - Green LED confirms power and stable operating state during setup. Output indicator - Yellow LED shows switching state, short-circuit, or overload reference condition. Sensitivity area - Single-turn potentiometer; adjust only after the sensor is mounted in the final position. M12 connector - Detachable field connector for fast replacement; select the correct 4-pin cable and pinout. Brown lead - Connect to the positive 10-30 VDC supply in typical industrial wiring. Blue lead - Connect to 0 VDC common and share reference with the input module. Black lead - Main switching output to PLC, relay interface, or protected digital input. White lead - NO/NC mode reference; Lanbao documentation specifies positive or floating for NO mode and negative for NC mode. Installation note - Use this connector version where reflector sensor maintenance must be quick and wiring should remain in the machine harness. Packing List 1 x Lanbao PSM-PM-E2 photoelectric sensor M18 nut set and instruction manual reference Current store bundle contents may vary by SKU and warehouse batch FAQ Q: What is the Lanbao PSM-PM-E2 used for? A: It is used for industrial object detection in conveyors, packaging machines, fixtures, handling systems, and automated inspection stations. Q: What sensing mode does this model use? A: This model uses polarized reflection sensing with 3 m rated distance with reflector reference and Red light, 640 nm. Q: Can it connect to a PLC? A: Yes. Use a PLC digital input module that matches the selected NPN or PNP output and the 10-30 VDC supply system. Q: What is the difference between NPN and PNP variants? A: NPN variants sink current to the input common, while PNP variants source current to the input. Choose the type required by the controller input card. Q: Is the sensor suitable for harsh equipment areas? A: It has IP67 protection and CE certification, but the full installation still depends on cable sealing, connector tightening, mounting direction, and enclosure design. Q: How is NO or NC mode selected? A: Lanbao documentation uses the white wire as the NO/NC mode reference. Follow the wiring diagram for the exact variant being installed. Q: Why does the output switch unreliably? A: Check supply voltage, NPN or PNP wiring, indicator status, target position, and alignment; the sensor normally needs a reflector and correct polarization alignment. Q: Should I choose cable or M12 connector? A: Choose the M12 connector version when quick replacement and modular field wiring are important.
