Long-Distance Diffuse Reflective Detection
E3F-DS100C4 Long-distance Photoelectric Sensor
Direct object detection up to 100 cm without a separate reflector. The E3F-DS100C4 uses a DC three-wire NPN normally open output in a compact ABS cylindrical body for counting, presence checks and material handling automation.
Reach More Detection Points Without a Reflector
The E3F-DS100C4 detects light reflected directly from the target. This removes the need to mount and align a separate reflector, making it useful where there is only one accessible side of a conveyor, chute or machine zone.
- 100 cm maximum sensing distance for wider machine access
- Diffuse reflective method detects the target directly
- NPN normally open output for compatible PLC input circuits
- Compact cylindrical body supports standard sensor brackets

Designed for Practical Automation Detection
01 / LONG RANGEUp to 100 cm
Reach targets across a wider installation gap while keeping a single-sided sensor layout.
02 / DIRECT SENSINGNo Reflector Needed
Detect objects directly through diffuse reflection, which simplifies mechanical installation.
03 / CONTROL READYDC 3-Wire NPN NO
Use with compatible sinking-input PLC circuits for object-present and counting signals.

Where the E3F-DS100C4 Fits Best
Use this model when targets can pass within 1 m of the sensor and only one side of the machine is accessible for installation.
01
Conveyor Counting
Count cartons, bins and workpieces moving through a fixed detection zone.
02
Material Handling
Confirm objects at transfer points, chutes and sorting equipment.
03
Packaging Lines
Verify product presence before labeling, sealing and subsequent processes.
04
Machine Positioning
Check whether a carrier, fixture or workpiece has reached the required position.
Selection and Installation Checklist
Confirm target reflectivity
Diffuse sensing distance is affected by target color, size, finish and angle. Dark, glossy or angled targets can reduce the reliable working distance.
Verify operating voltage
The provided listing states 5 V. Confirm the required supply voltage, wiring diagram and installation drawing with XSZ before ordering or wiring the sensor.

- Target material, color, size and speed
- Required working distance and mounting space
- PLC input type and supply voltage
- Quantity, cable requirement and operating environment
Product Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
01
Does the E3F-DS100C4 need a reflector?
No. It is a diffuse reflective sensor that detects light returned directly from the target.
02
Can it connect to a PLC?
Yes. Its DC three-wire NPN normally open output is intended for compatible sinking-input circuits. Confirm supply voltage and input type before wiring.
03
Will every target be detected at 100 cm?
Actual distance depends on target color, size, surface finish and angle. Design with operating margin and test the actual target before final installation.
04
Can XSZ support OEM orders?
Yes. Send the quantity, cable, labeling and packaging requirements for factory evaluation.
Need Pricing or an E3F-DS100C4 Sample?
