SICK VL12-2P132 retro-reflective sensor
The SICK VL12-2P132 is a cylindrical photoelectric retro-reflective sensor with PNP switching output. It operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage and detects objects up to 2.8 metres away using visible red LED light at 660 nm wavelength. The metal housing carries an IP67 enclosure rating for harsh environments.
12 mm cylindrical housing with M12 connector
The sensor measures 55 mm in length with a round M12 x 1 thread diameter for straightforward mounting. A 2 m PVC cable with four wires and 0.14 mm² conductor cross-section provides the connection. Selectable light/dark switching via the L/D control cable adapts the output logic to the application.
Sensing range 0.03 m to 2.3 m with 400 Hz switching
The sensor reliably detects targets from 30 mm to 2.3 m with a light spot of 80 mm diameter at 2 m distance. Response time of 1.25 ms and 400 Hz switching frequency suit fast automation cycles. Maximum output current of 100 mA limits the load it can drive directly.

Questions about this item
How far can the VL12-2P132 reliably detect a reflector in normal use?
The specified sensing range is 0.03 m to 2.3 m with a visible red LED spot of Ø 80 mm at 2 m distance.
What are the thermal and power limits when the sensor runs continuously at full switching frequency?
It operates from –25 °C to +70 °C, draws 20 mA at 10–30 V DC, and switches at 400 Hz with a 1.25 ms response time.
Which power supply and mounting hardware must be on hand before installing this sensor?
A 10–30 V DC source with ≤10 % ripple and an M12 connector or 4-wire PVC cable termination are required; the housing uses nickel-plated brass threads.
