Eaton E58 Series Tubular Photoelectric Sensor, Stainless Steel Enclosure

The Eaton E58 Series is a harsh-duty tubular photoelectric sensor built with a stainless steel enclosure for demanding industrial environments. Featuring an NPN output rated 250 mA at 30Vdc, an auto-reset short-circuit protection design, and a UL Listed rating, this sensor is engineered for reliable object-sensing performance across washdown, corrosive, and high-vibration applications.

Key Features

  • Compact Tubular Profile: 0.71" diameter body with a .47" length/depth footprint for tight mounting locations.
  • Sensing Distance: Detects objects at a distance of 25 Ft. for reliable long-range presence detection.
  • Durable Construction: Stainless steel enclosure resists corrosion and physical impact in harsh-duty industrial settings.
  • NPN Output: Rated 250 mA at 30Vdc with a maximum AC current of 300 mA for compatibility with standard control circuits.
  • Auto Reset Short Circuit Protection: Automatically resets after a short-circuit condition to minimize downtime.
  • Cable Connection: 9.8 Ft. (3m) PVC cable input for direct wiring into control panels.
  • Operating Temperature: Rated to a maximum of 158°F for use in elevated-heat environments.
  • Environmental Sealing: IP69K rated for washdown and high-pressure cleaning applications.

Eaton E58CAL18A2E2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Eaton E58 photoelectric sensor hold up to high-pressure washdown?
Yes. The E58 tubular sensor uses a stainless steel enclosure and carries IP69K sealing, which is the high-pressure, high-temperature washdown rating. It also carries NEMA 4X, NEMA 6, NEMA 12 and NEMA 13 environmental ratings, so it handles corrosive and wet process areas as well as dusty machine areas. Max operating temperature is 158 F.
2) Do I order NPN or PNP for the Eaton E58 sensor?
Output type is the choice you make at order time. The E58CAL family offers an NPN open collector (E58CAL18A2R2 and E58CAL18T110R2), a PNP open collector (E58CAL18T111R2), and a standard configuration (E58CAL18A2E2). Match the output to your PLC input card: sinking inputs take NPN, sourcing inputs take PNP. Get it wrong and the sensor wires in fine but never registers a state change.
3) What voltage and load can the Eaton E58 sensor switch?
The E58 output is rated 250 mA at 30 VDC, with a maximum AC current of 300 mA. That is enough to drive a PLC input or a small interposing relay coil directly, but not a contactor coil or a solenoid of any size. For larger loads, run the sensor into a relay.
4) What happens if the Eaton E58 sensor output gets shorted in the field?
The E58 uses auto-reset short-circuit protection on the output. A wiring fault or crushed cable shorts the output, the sensor protects itself, and once the fault clears it comes back on its own without a power cycle or a trip out to the machine.
5) Is the Eaton E58 photoelectric sensor UL Listed for a commercial or industrial install?
Yes, the E58 Series is UL Listed, and it carries NEMA 1, 3, 4, 4X, 6, 12 and 13 environmental ratings along with IP69K. That range covers indoor panels, outdoor wet locations, and corrosive washdown areas on the same part number.
6) How far away can the Eaton E58 sensor detect an object?
Sensing range is 25 ft, which is long enough to shoot across a wide conveyor or a doorway rather than just spot-detecting at the head of a machine. Combined with the stainless housing, that makes it workable for long shots in wet or dusty process areas where a short-range proximity sensor would have to sit in the mess.
