Sick VTE18-3P2412 proximity sensor
The Sick VTE18-3P2412 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor with a PNP dark-switching output. It operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage and detects objects within a 3 mm to 170 mm sensing range using an infrared LED. The metal brass nickel-plated housing carries an IP67 enclosure rating for harsh industrial environments.
M18 threaded installation with potentiometer
The sensor mounts via its M18 threaded brass housing and connects through a 2 m PVC cable with 0.14 mm² conductor cross-section. A potentiometer allows sensing range adjustment between 3 mm and 200 mm maximum. The 2.8° angle of dispersion requires careful alignment to avoid false triggers from background objects beyond the set range.
170 mm reliable range with 200 mm maximum
The sensor comfortably handles detection tasks up to 170 mm with consistent response times of 2 ms across the –25 °C to +70 °C operating temperature range. It runs out of reliable detection beyond 170 mm where the maximum 200 mm range applies only under ideal conditions. The 30 mA power consumption suits standard 24 V DC control circuits.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the VTE18-3P2412 is detecting correctly after wiring it to a 24 V DC supply?
The sensor switches on dark detection with a 2 ms response time; watch the load change state when an object enters the 3 mm to 170 mm sensing range.
What comes with the VTE18-3P2412 and what must I source separately?
The unit includes a 2 m PVC cable with 0.14 mm² conductors already attached; you only need to provide a 10–30 V DC power source and a mounting bracket.
Which sensing distance should I design for when choosing this VTE18-3P2412 model?
Use the 170 mm sensing range for reliable detection; the 200 mm figure is the absolute maximum under ideal conditions.
