- Operates on 24–240 V AC or DC for flexible power supply
- IP66-rated ABS housing withstands harsh industrial environments
- Relay change-over contacts switch 3 A at 240 V AC or 30 V DC
- Includes mounting bracket and P250 reflector for immediate installation
Industrial Photoelectric Sensor
The SICK WL280-S230 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor designed for automation tasks that require reliable object detection at distance. It suits electricians and control engineers who need a single device to cover both short-range and long-range presence sensing in conveyors, packaging lines or gate control.
Wide Voltage Range and Relay Output
The unit accepts 24 V to 240 V AC or DC, so it integrates directly into existing control cabinets without a separate power supply. A cable gland provides strain-relieved wiring, while the electrically isolated relay change-over contact switches loads up to 3 A at 240 V AC or 30 V DC, freeing the PLC from high-current switching.
Stable Operation Over Temperature and Time
IP66 enclosure rating and an operating range of –25 °C to +55 °C let the sensor run continuously in dusty or wash-down environments. The 20 ms response time and 25 Hz switching frequency deliver consistent detection during sustained cyclic operation, and the potentiometer adjustment maintains alignment without recalibration after vibration or thermal cycling.

Questions about this item
How far can the SICK WL280-S230 reliably detect a reflector at its maximum sensing range?
The sensor reaches up to 15 m with the supplied P250 reflector, while the typical operating range is 10 m and extends to 13 m under optimal conditions.
What are the power draw and heat considerations when the sensor runs continuously on a 240 V supply?
Power consumption is 5 VA, the relay output handles 3 A at 240 V AC or 30 V DC, and the unit operates from –25 °C to +55 °C without active cooling.
Which mounting hardware and reflector are included so the sensor works out of the box?
The package supplies mounting bracket BEF-W280 and reflector P250; a 24–240 V AC/DC supply and wiring through the cable gland are required separately.
