Cylindrical angled metal sensor with 2 m PVC cable

Sick

SICK VTE18-3P8412 Photoelectric proximity sensor PNP

SKU CH-S7EG-MDSJ0

Photoelectric proximity sensor with 10 mm to 700 mm sensing range, PNP dark-switching output and IP67-rated metal housing

  • PNP output simplifies wiring to positive logic control
  • 10 mm to 700 mm sensing range covers short and mid distances
  • IP67 enclosure resists dust and water immersion
  • Brass nickel-plated metal housing withstands harsh environments
  • 2 m PVC cable allows flexible mounting without extra connectors

Industrial photoelectric sensor

The Sick VTE18-3P8412 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor designed for industrial automation tasks. It detects objects using an infrared LED beam across a sensing range of 10 mm to 700 mm. The metal housing with brass nickel-plated finish meets IP67 enclosure rating for harsh environments. It operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage.

PNP dark-switching output

The sensor provides a PNP switching output configured for dark switching mode. This means the output activates when the received light beam is interrupted by an object. A potentiometer allows adjustment of the sensing sensitivity within the specified range. Response time is rated at 2 ms for reliable detection in fast processes.

Cable connection and mounting

A 2 m PVC cable with 0.14 mm² conductor cross-section and 3.1 mm diameter provides the electrical connection. The angled light emission design suits installations where straight-ahead mounting is restricted. Operating temperature spans –25 °C to +70 °C for use in cold or hot conditions. UL file NMFT2.E175606 confirms compliance for relevant markets.

Questions about this item

What does the 10 mm to 700 mm sensing range mean when the sensor is mounted on a machine?

The sensor reliably detects objects from 10 mm up to 700 mm away, with a maximum reach of 800 mm under ideal conditions, using an infrared LED with a 2.8° beam angle.

How does the PNP output and 10 V to 30 V DC supply affect wiring and voltage limits?

The PNP switching output sources current to the load and operates on 10 V to 30 V DC with a 10 % ripple allowance, drawing up to 30 mA and responding in 2 ms.

What mounting space and cable length are needed for the cylindrical metal housing?

The brass nickel-plated cylindrical housing measures 60.6 mm in diameter and includes a 2 m PVC cable of 3.1 mm diameter with 0.14 mm² conductors, rated IP67 for –25 °C to +70 °C.
