Sick VTE18-3N4412 photoelectric sensor

The Sick VTE18-3N4412 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor with an NPN dark-switching output. It detects objects using an infrared LED with a 2.8° dispersion angle across a sensing range of 5 mm to 350 mm. The brass nickel-plated metal housing meets IP67 and operates from –25 °C to +70 °C. A 2 m PVC cable with 0.14 mm² conductors provides the connection.

Suits DC control systems needing NPN output

This sensor suits automation circuits that require a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply and an NPN switching signal. The potentiometer allows range adjustment up to 400 mm maximum detection. Buyers who need a PNP output, a light-switching mode, or a connector other than a fixed 2 m cable should look at something else. The 2 ms response time fits typical presence detection but not high-speed counting.

Check voltage, wiring and mounting clearance

Verify that your controller accepts an NPN dark-switching signal and can supply 10 V DC to 30 V DC with ripple below 10 %. Confirm the 3.1 mm cable diameter and 60.6 mm housing dimension fit the available mounting space. Ensure the operating temperature window of –25 °C to +70 °C covers the installation environment. The UL file NMFT2.E175606 is listed for reference.

Questions about this item

What supply voltage must my system provide for the VTE18-3N4412 sensor?

The sensor operates from 10 V DC to 30 V DC with a maximum ripple of 10 %.

Will the 2.8° infrared beam of the VTE18-3N4412 work reliably with my existing reflectors at 350 mm range?

Yes, the specified sensing range is 5 mm to 350 mm using the built-in LED and 2.8° dispersion angle.

How can I verify the NPN dark-switching output is functioning after wiring the 2 m PVC cable?

The output switches when the beam is interrupted; a 2 ms response time lets you confirm operation with a simple target test.
