B-LINE E58-30DP150-EDP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the B-Line E58-30DP150-EDP photoelectric sensor run on 120V AC, or does it need a DC supply?
Either. The E58-30DP150-EDP is a 2-wire AC/DC sensor accepting 90-132Vac or 18-50Vdc, so it drops straight into a 120V AC control circuit or a 24V DC one without changing the part. Output is switched in series with the load, rated 300 mA at those voltages, so size the load accordingly.
2) Can this E58 sensor take washdown and high pressure cleaning?
Yes. The E58 Harsh Duty tubular sensor has a stainless steel housing and carries NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3R, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, 12, 13 and IP69K ratings. IP69K is the high pressure, high temperature washdown rating, which is why this one gets specified in food and beverage plants rather than a plastic barrel sensor.
3) Does the E58-30DP150-EDP come with a cable, or do I need a separate cordset?
It terminates in a 7 inch PVC pigtail ending in a 3-pin dual key micro connector, so you will need a matching 3-pin micro cordset to run back to the panel. The 7 inch lead is a stub only, not a usable home run.
4) What is background suppression on a photoelectric sensor and when should I use it instead of a reflective or thru-beam sensor?
Background suppression means the sensor detects objects up to a set sensing range and ignores anything past the cutoff range, so a shiny conveyor wall or machine frame behind the target does not trigger it. Use it when you cannot mount a reflector or a receiver on the far side. Thru-beam or retroreflective types are better for long ranges or hard-to-see targets, but they need hardware on both sides of the gap. The E58-30DP150-EDP is the background suppression version and needs only the one mounting point.
5) What hole size do I need to mount a 30mm tubular photoelectric sensor like this one?
The barrel measures 1.18 inches across, which is the 30mm tubular format, and overall height is 4.36 inches. Allow clearance behind the mounting bracket for that length plus the 7 inch pigtail and its connector.
6) Will this sensor hold up in a cold storage room or near an oven line?
Operating range is -13 to 131 degrees F (-25 to 55 degrees C). That covers most refrigerated and freezer-adjacent work, but it rules out direct duty in a hot bake or oven zone above 131 degrees F.
7) Can I switch a contactor coil or a solenoid valve directly off this sensor?
Only if the load draws 300 mA or less, which is the maximum current at 90-132Vac or 18-50Vdc. Small pilot devices and relay coils are fine; anything larger needs an interposing relay between the sensor and the load. Note it is a 2-wire device, so it wires in series with the load rather than as a separate sourcing output.
8) Which exact B-Line part number do I order for the harsh duty 30mm background suppression sensor?
Order model E58-30DP150-EDP. That is the single configuration of the E58 Harsh Duty tubular sensor with the stainless housing, background suppression sensing and the 3-pin micro pigtail, so there are no finish or range suffixes to specify.
9) Is there any indication on the sensor to tell me it is switching during commissioning?
A red LED shows output status, so you can confirm detection at the sensor without meters on the wires. Output is also protected by auto reset short circuit protection, so a momentary wiring fault will not destroy the sensor.
