Retro-Reflex Sensor with 5500 mm Range

The Wenglor LN89PA3 is a polarised retro-reflex photoelectric sensor designed for presence detection in industrial environments. Its single-lens optic and 5 ° opening angle produce a focused red-light beam suited to conveyor monitoring, packaging lines and automated assembly stations. The PNP antivalent output provides both normally-open and normally-closed signals from a single device.

DC Supply Limits and Protection

Operation requires a 10...30 V DC supply drawing under 40 mA at 24 V. Built-in short-circuit, reverse-polarity and overload protection guard the output stage, while the IP67-rated fully encapsulated plastic housing withstands wash-down and dust ingress. The sensor meets Protection Class III and connects via a standard M12 × 1 four-pin plug.

Switching Performance and Headroom

A 1 kHz switching frequency and 500 µs response time handle fast object sequences, with hysteresis below 15 % for stable switching points. The 200 mA output current drives relays, PLC inputs or indicator stacks directly, while residual current stays under 50 µA. Temperature drift remains under 10 % across the -10...60 °C range, and the 100 000 h service life at 25 °C supports long maintenance intervals.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the potentiometer-adjustable version or a fixed-range model?

The LN89PA3 uses a potentiometer for sensitivity setting, allowing you to tune the 5500 mm range on site; no fixed-range alternative is listed.

How does the 5500 mm range perform with the RQ100BA reflector?

With the RQ100BA reflector the sensor reaches its full 5500 mm sensing distance, using a 5° opening angle and polarisation filter to reject false returns.

What does the M12 4-pin connection limit in practice?

The M12 × 1, 4-pin connector carries the 10…30 V DC supply and the PNP NO/NC antivalent output, cabling both switching states in a single cable run.
