SICK WL160-F132 Photoelectric Retro-reflective Sensor PNP

SKU CH-1GQW-Z0MGM

Photoelectric retro-reflective sensor with PNP output detects objects up to 6.5 m using visible red LED light and IP67 housing

  • Detects objects up to 6.5 m with visible red LED light
  • Compact 11 mm x 23 mm x 38 mm housing fits tight spaces
  • PNP output with selectable light/dark switching via rotary switch
  • IP67 enclosure rating resists dust and water ingress
  • Operates reliably from –25 °C to +55 °C ambient temperature

SICK WL160-F132 Photoelectric Retro-reflective

The SICK WL160-F132 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor designed for industrial detection tasks. It operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with a PNP switching output. The sensor uses visible red light at 680 nm wavelength. It is built for electricians and automation engineers needing reliable object detection.

Rectangular plastic housing

The rectangular housing measures 11 mm x 23 mm x 38 mm and uses PBT plastic with PMMA optics. An IP67 rating protects against dust and temporary immersion. A 2 m PVC cable with 0.2 mm² conductors provides the connection. The unit operates from –25 °C to +55 °C and stores down to –40 °C.

Light/dark rotary selector replaces fixed

Selectable light/dark switching via rotary switch replaces sensors with a fixed switching mode. The 0.5 ms response time supports fast production lines. Sensing range reaches 6.5 m maximum and 4.5 m typical with a reflector. UL file numbers NRNT2.E128350 and NRNT8.E128350 confirm compliance.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum sensing range before the retro-reflective sensor loses reliable detection?

The sensor detects up to 6.5 m maximum range and 4.5 m typical range with visible red LED at 680 nm wavelength.

How much current does the sensor draw and what is its enclosure rating during all-day operation?

Power consumption is 25 mA at 10–30 V DC supply with IP67 enclosure rating for dust and water protection.

What voltage supply and cable connection are required to install this PNP output sensor?

Requires 10–30 V DC supply with ±10 % ripple tolerance and comes with 2 m PVC cable at 0.2 mm² cross-section.
