SICK WL260-S270 retro-reflective sensor
The SICK WL260-S270 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor designed for industrial detection tasks. It operates on a supply voltage of 12 V DC to 240 V DC or 24 V AC to 240 V AC. The sensor uses visible red light from an LED source with a dispersion angle of approximately 1.7°. It is suited for automation engineers and electricians needing reliable presence detection.
Rectangular ABS housing with IP67 rating
The sensor features a rectangular plastic housing made of ABS with PMMA optics measuring 25 mm x 78 mm x 63 mm. It weighs 120 g and achieves an IP67 enclosure rating for dust and water protection. Connection is made via a cable gland. A reflector P250 and mounting bracket BEF-W260 are included for immediate installation.
Potentiometer adjustment up to 15 m range
Sensing range extends from 0.01 m up to a maximum of 15 m, with a light spot diameter of 300 mm at 10 m distance. A 270° potentiometer allows precise sensitivity adjustment. The relay output provides electrically isolated change-over contacts rated at 3 A for 240 V AC or 30 V DC. This replaces older sensors lacking polarisation filters or wide voltage tolerance. It is not for applications requiring faster than 25 Hz switching or analogue output.

Questions about this item
What sensing range does the retro-reflective sensor achieve with the supplied P250 reflector?
With the included P250 reflector the sensor reaches a maximum sensing range of 15 m and a practical sensing range of 13 m.
What are the exact housing dimensions and weight for mounting clearance?
The rectangular ABS housing measures 25 mm wide, 78 mm high and 63 mm deep, and weighs 120 g.
How is the sensing distance adjusted and which mistake should be avoided?
Turn the 270° potentiometer while the target is at the desired distance; the common error is setting the potentiometer before aligning the sensor and reflector.
