Miniature Photoelectric Sensor PNP
The Sick WL100-2P4429 is a compact rectangular sensor designed for industrial detection tasks. Its 11 mm by 31 mm by 20 mm housing suits tight machine installations where space is limited. The IP67-rated ABS/PC/POM body withstands wash-down environments. It targets automation engineers who need reliable presence sensing on conveyors or packaging lines.
Sensing Range and Response
The retro-reflective dual-lens optics detect targets from 0.01 m up to 2.5 m with a maximum range of 3 m. A visible red LED at 632 nm produces a 140 mm light spot at 2 m distance. Switching frequency reaches 1000 Hz with a 0.5 ms response time for fast-moving objects. Attenuation along the beam is rated at 20 per cent, limiting performance in heavily contaminated atmospheres.
Build Quality and Connectivity
The sensor operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with 30 mA consumption and PNP light/dark switching selectable via rotary switch. Output current is capped at 100 mA with circuit protection A, B and D. Connection uses a male M8 4-pin connector for quick wiring. A mounting bracket BEF-W100-A and reflector P250 are included for immediate installation.

Questions about this item
Can I connect this sensor to a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply on my existing machine?
Yes, the supply voltage range is 10 V DC to 30 V DC with ±10 % ripple.
How do I verify the sensor detects transparent objects after installation?
Use the potentiometer to adjust sensitivity; the PNP output switches at up to 1,000 Hz with a 0.5 ms response time.
Does the box include a reflector and mounting bracket or must I buy them separately?
The package supplies a BEF-W100-A mounting bracket and a P250 reflector; the M8 4-pin connector cable is not included.
