  • IP67-rated PBT/PC housing withstands –25 °C to +70 °C
  • TRIAC output switches 300 mA at 25 Hz

SICK VS/VE18-2T1132 through-beam sensor

The SICK VS/VE18-2T1132 is a cylindrical through-beam photoelectric sensor designed for industrial detection tasks. It operates on a supply voltage of 20 V AC to 253 V AC at 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The sensor uses an infrared LED light source and provides a TRIAC switching output with light switching mode. It is built for electricians and automation engineers who need reliable presence detection.

Suited for AC-powered lines needing IP67 protection

This unit suits installations that run on AC mains voltage and require a high enclosure rating of IP67 for harsh environments. The 2 metre PVC cable and plastic PBT/PC housing support mounting in wet or dusty conditions. It is not for systems that require DC supply voltage or a connectorised interface. Buyers who need sensitivity adjustment or a different output type should look at other sensor families.

22 metre maximum sensing range decides fit

The specification that decides fit is the maximum sensing range of 0 m to 22 m, with an operating range up to 16 m. The axial optical axis and 2.9° angle of dispersion produce a light spot of Ø 800 mm at 16 m distance. Response time is 20 ms at a switching frequency of 25 Hz. The M18 x 1 thread diameter and 88 mm housing length define the mechanical mounting envelope.

Questions about this item

How much power does the VS/VE18-2T1132 draw when running continuously?

It consumes 45 mA at the supply voltage, so heat output stays low during all-day operation.

What supply voltage must my installation already provide for this sensor to work?

The unit accepts 20 V AC to 253 V AC at 50 Hz or 60 Hz mains frequency.

Will the 3-wire cable and TRIAC output connect directly to my existing relay cabinet?

Yes, the 2 m PVC cable with 0.34 mm² conductors and TRIAC switching output is designed for standard AC control circuits.
