Sick VTE18-3F8340 photoelectric sensor
The Sick VTE18-3F8340 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor with a PNP switching output designed for industrial automation tasks. It operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with a low power consumption of 30 mA. The M12 4-pin male connector allows quick integration into existing control systems. This unit suits engineers who need reliable object detection in compact machinery.
Sensing range 10 mm to 700 mm
The sensor offers a maximum sensing range of 10 mm to 800 mm and a defined operating range of 10 mm to 700 mm using an infrared LED with a 2.8° dispersion angle. A built-in potentiometer permits precise adjustment of the switching point for specific targets. Detection performance drops beyond the 700 mm operational limit, so it is not suited for long-distance monitoring applications.
IP67 enclosure rated for harsh environments
The brass nickel-plated metal housing with PMMA optics meets IP67 enclosure rating, resisting dust ingress and temporary water immersion. It functions reliably across an ambient operating temperature span of –25 °C to +70 °C. The 2 ms response time supports fast cycling operations without excessive thermal load. Buyers needing higher temperature tolerance or different output logic should consider other models.

Questions about this item
Will the 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage and PNP output work with my existing 24 V DC control cabinet?
Yes, the sensor operates from 10 V DC to 30 V DC and provides a PNP switching output compatible with standard 24 V DC PLC inputs.
How can I verify the 2 ms response time and 700 mm sensing range after installation?
Place a target at 700 mm, adjust the potentiometer until the output switches, then trigger a rapid pass; the output should change state within 2 ms.
Does the box include the M12 4-pin cable or must I buy it separately?
The sensor has a male M12 4-pin connector; a mating cable is not included and must be purchased separately.
