Retro-reflective sensor with PNP output
The Sick VL12-2P430 is a cylindrical photoelectric switch that detects objects using a visible red LED and a polarisation filter. It operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC and connects via a male M12 4-pin connector. The metal housing is rated IP67 for dust and water protection.
Suited for DC control systems needing light/dark
This unit fits machines that require a PNP switching output with a selectable light or dark mode via the L/D control cable. It is not for applications that need an NPN output or a sensor without a selectable switching mode.
2.8 m maximum sensing range
The sensor reaches up to 2.8 m with a reflector and offers a defined sensing range of 2.3 m. A 400 Hz switching frequency and 1.25 ms response time support fast detection cycles. Buyers needing a longer range should look at a different sensor class.

Questions about this item
What size mounting hole and connector thread does the M12 4-pin sensor need?
The cylindrical metal housing has a 66 mm length and an M12 x 1 connector thread. It mounts through a matching M12 clearance hole and seals to IP67 when the mating cable is tightened.
How do I wire the PNP output and select light or dark switching on the 4-pin M12 plug?
Connect 10–30 V DC to pin 1, load to pin 4 (PNP), 0 V to pin 3; pin 2 is the L/D control cable — tie it to 0 V for light switching or to +V for dark switching.
How often should I clean the PMMA optics and what temperature range can the sensor withstand?
Wipe the red-light PMMA lens whenever dust reduces the 80 mm spot at 2 m; the unit is rated for –25 °C to +70 °C operating and storage temperature.
