Sick VTE18-4P4712 Photoelectric Proximity Sensor
The Sick VTE18-4P4712 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor with a PNP switching output. It operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage and features an M18 x 1 thread diameter for standard mounting. The sensor uses an energetic detection principle with an infrared LED light source and offers a sensing range of 5 mm to 350 mm.
Suited for automation tasks needing adjustable range
This sensor suits applications requiring selectable light or dark switching via an L/D control cable and a 270° potentiometer for range adjustment. It is not for buyers who need a sensing distance beyond 400 mm or a different output type such as NPN. The fixed 2 m PVC cable limits use where a connector or longer cable is required.
Handles 250 Hz switching with IP67 protection
The sensor comfortably handles switching frequencies up to 250 Hz with a response time of 2 ms and an output current up to 100 mA. It runs out of range at 400 mm maximum sensing distance and operates within an ambient temperature range of –25 °C to +70 °C. The IP67 enclosure rating provides protection against dust and temporary immersion.

Questions about this item
What supply voltage must my system provide for the VTE18-4P4712 to operate?
The sensor requires a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with no more than 10 % ripple.
Will the sensor’s M18 × 1 thread fit the mounting holes on my existing bracket?
Yes, the housing uses a standard M18 × 1 thread, so it fits any bracket tapped for that size.
How can I verify the sensor is detecting correctly after wiring it up?
With an object in the 5 mm to 350 mm range, the PNP output should switch within 2 ms and the indicator LED will change state.
