Sick M18 Photoelectric Sensor 100mm Range

The Sick VTF180-2P41117 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor with background blanking for industrial detection tasks. It operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage and provides a PNP switching output with selectable light or dark switching via the L/D control cable. The sensor uses visible red LED light at 645 nm wavelength with a sensing range of 1 mm to 100 mm and a maximum range up to 140 mm. It is supplied new in a box with two fastening nuts included.

Installation Uses M18 Thread 2m Cable

The sensor housing features an M18 x 1 thread diameter and 62.5 mm length for standard mounting in a drilled hole using the supplied fastening nuts. A 2 m PVC cable with 4-wire connection and 0.18 mm² conductor cross-section provides the electrical interface. The axial optical axis and potentiometer with 270° adjustment allow sensing range setting after mechanical installation. The IP67 enclosure rating protects against dust and temporary immersion during commissioning.

Check Supply Voltage And Output Compatibility

Verify that the control system provides a stable 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with ripple within ±10% to match the sensor specifications. Confirm the input module accepts a PNP signal with HIGH level approximately VS – 1.8 V and LOW at 0 V, with a maximum output current of 100 mA. Ensure the 0.5 ms response time and 1,000 Hz switching frequency suit the application timing requirements. The plastic PBT/PC housing and PMMA optics require compatibility with the operating environment.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the sensor is detecting correctly after wiring the 10-30V DC supply and PNP output?

The red LED light spot of 8 mm at 100 mm distance and a 0.5 ms response time confirm operation; adjust the 270° potentiometer until the output switches reliably within the 1-100 mm sensing range.

What accessories are included in the box and what must I source separately?

The package supplies two fastening nuts for the M18 x 1 thread; a 10-30 V DC power supply and any mounting bracket are not included.

Should I choose the 100 mm or 140 mm sensing range version for my application?

This model provides a 1-100 mm sensing range with background blanking; the 140 mm figure is the absolute maximum detection distance, not a separate version.
