Industrial sensing component
The Sick VL18-3P3912 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor with PNP output designed for industrial automation tasks. Its cylindrical M18 housing suits machine builders and maintenance engineers who need reliable object detection on conveyors or packaging lines.
Build integration requirements
The sensor operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply and connects via a 2 m three-wire PVC cable with 0.14 mm² conductors. An IP67 enclosure rating and –25 °C to +70 °C temperature range allow direct mounting on machinery without additional protective enclosures.
Included connection and adjustment
A 270° potentiometer provides sensitivity adjustment for the 0.05 m to 3 m sensing range using visible red LED light. Dark-switching PNP output delivers up to 100 mA at 250 Hz switching frequency, while circuit protection A, B, C and D safeguards the electronics.
