Industrial sensing tool
The Sick WL250-P430 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor with PNP output designed for automation and electrical installation work. It operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage and detects objects at distances from 0.01 m up to 13.5 m using visible red LED light. The rectangular ABS housing measures 20 mm x 65 mm x 43 mm and carries an IP67 enclosure rating for harsh environments.
Suited for DC control circuits
This sensor suits engineers wiring 10 V DC to 30 V DC systems who need light/dark switching selectable via an L/D control cable and a 100 mA PNP output. It is not for applications requiring AC supply voltages or NPN switching logic. Buyers needing analog distance measurement or laser-class precision should look at other technologies.
Bracket and reflector included
The package supplies a P250 reflector and a BEF-W250 mounting bracket so the sensor can be aligned and fixed immediately. The potentiometer with two turns allows sensitivity adjustment on site without extra tools. A four-pin M12 male connector provides a standard industrial plug-in connection.

Questions about this item
What supply voltage must my system provide for the WL250-P430 sensor?
The sensor operates from 10 V DC to 30 V DC with a maximum ripple of 5 Vpp.
Will the PNP switching output work with my existing PLC input module?
Yes, the PNP output delivers up to 100 mA and is compatible with standard PLC inputs that accept a positive-switching signal.
How can I verify the sensor is detecting correctly after mounting?
With the reflector P250 in place, the LED indicator shows the switching state; the potentiometer allows fine adjustment and the 1,000 Hz switching frequency confirms reliable operation.
